I do the same thing! Our guest room looks like a drug store and a toy store all threw up! I keep piling things in there - I feel like I've been collecting things since we got home from our last trip in Nov! I'm waiting for headbands that I ordered from Etsy to arrive... also ordered Princess Vans sneakers for DD4 and myself that I'm waiting for as well... We ordered a great pocket sized thin blanket that I found on one of those threads that I thought would be great for putting down during parade viewings (especially after some rain) or on the beach to watch the movies at night. Have you found anything different/unusual to pack for your trip??

That's too funny! If we had a spare room, it would look the same. As it is, the top of my dresser, my DD's dresser, and the corner behind my chair are gradually disappearing (and frankly, the chair hides it all quite nicely!). What headbands are you waiting for? The shoes are a nice touch. It took me a while to get the hang of bringing Disney things TO Disney--our first visit when DD was 4 (now 11), my mother had to tell me to pack her Cinderella dress for the breakfast...that's how clueless I was!
I was thinking about a thin blanket, too, but maybe will try to find one of those vinyl tablecloths with the soft backing (also from the thread) in case the ground is wet, yucky, etc. Another interesting tip we will use this time is lids from take-out drinks. When you have ice cream on a stick, you turn the lid upside down and push the stick through the hole for the straw. It will catch any pieces that drop off--still a problem for us, after all these years! Also, maybe I'll make some soap-soaked paper towels for washing our mugs in the room at night, as well as liquid hand soap so we don't have the mushy soap bar at the sink. Another tip (from a thread about the Animation Studio) is to bring empty paper towel rolls to house your finished character sketches, protecting them from getting crushed. As this will be a new experience for us, I was glad for the heads up.
Other than that, the lists were a good reminder: postage stamps/pre-printed address labels for postcards, ziplocs, ziplocs, and did I mention ziplocs?, suitcase inside a suitcase (yes, I've actually done that one! I can fly down hands free except for our cross-body bags with our bathing suits inside, checking one free suitcase each, and come back with cross-body bags and a carry-on each--this time I'm buying breakables and will want them in the cabin with me). And for inside my park bag--I'm trying to cut down, but can't do without phone/charger, aspirin/Benedryl/epi, insurance card, gift card so I don't carry wet money, wipes, sunscreen and ponchos. Sorry! This turned into something that I should've added someplace else, but I'm planning, planning, planning...I love it!
. Started to run out of room sticking things around the house and I needed to keep my men from ruining their new clothes so into suitcases and into the attic it went. I even got an awesome stitch fabric dress to wear for the big anniversary celebration dinner we have planned at o'hana 
Our 15th and my aunt & uncle's 45th on the same day.
