We'll be doing our first Disney Cruise in June - the 8 night out of New York. I'm starting to get a little concerned about packing everything I need, and still keeping it to 1 checked bag per person.
Typically, we fly Southwest and don't deal with baggage fees but not this time. I'm already annoyed that checking suitcases is going to add $100 each way to our total vacation budget, but such is life. But - I'm definitely going to keep it to ONE checked bag each.
I found the awesome tip about using packing cubes on this board awhile back, and we bought some that we used on our last two WDW trips, so I will definitely utilize those, and roll our clothes inside. If anyone doesn't know about packing cubes - here's what I bought: eBags website
Mostly what I'm worried about is how to pack the dressy clothes and extra shoes needed. I mean, how do you pack a suit or sport coat in a suitcase without getting it all wrinkly? I really don't want to have to take a suit bag as one of our four checked bags. I know you can use an iron in the laundry facility, but that doesn't work well on a suit jacket. Do they have a steamer? Can you send stuff out to be pressed? Or is there a tricky way to pack it so it doesn't get wrinkled?
