Slightly off topic, but here are some things we typically pack and will bring for our next Disney cruise (our 6th):
- power cord or extension cord
- a few small disposable plastic containers (great for keeping snacks in the cooler/fridge in the room when we order from room service)
- ziplocks in various sizes
- sometimes we pack a nightlight for the bathroom, but lately we just pack a bunch of glowsticks. We use these when we travel internationally and they work great! One will last a whole night and our DD who is 5 loves them! Here's the ones we use:

- small flashlight
- plastic file folder great for storing and protecting important docs/photos and DD's artwork from the kids club
- you might consider bringing a large cup/water bottle to refill because the cups by the soda stand are pretty small (for sanitary reasons youll need to use the small cups to fill your water bottle)
- a bunch of small bills for room service and porters
- because we have a preschooler, we bring a collapsible footstool invaluable for letting her be self sufficient, but for short cruises/trips we bring this:

- dish washing liquid
- a couple of large clips (comes in so handy for such things as keeping the drapes shut, keeping clothes from blowing away, etc.) We got a pair in our FE one year and thought it was odd, but now it's part of our standard travel gear
- magnets with hooks for our lanyards. We keep them on the inside of our door so we never misplace our key (we use an old hotel card for the lights).
- a small, cheap dry erase board with magnets to hang on the inside of the door so we could leave messages. Post-its work as well.
- a clip (ha! yes another clip) with a magnet on the back that we attach to the outside of our door where we'd hang our dd's artwork. It made finding our cabin a breeze and she loved having it there.
- on a short cruise, instead of participating in the FE, we make a gift basket for our dd with beach toys and her favorite books.
That reminds me of a question I have - how high are the toilets? Love your glow stick idea!
