What is your not so normal item to pack, which is helpful while at WDW ?

[mommy2_3]

dont know if this has been said but i am bringing lavender shampoo and bubble bath for my kids. nothing like relaxing in a nice warm tub filled with lavender to make the kids go to bed right away! plus i will use some of that bubble bath after the kids are sleeping!

You can take the Lego out of the box, write on the bags which set it is and then collapse the box so you have more space in your case.

Great idea!

I always forget to pack something for chafing and end up buying a tiny bottle of baby powder, it works but if you've waited until the rash appears you need to reapply quite often. Thank you everyone for your fabulous tips, my hubby already thinks I pack too much...oh well what he doesn't know I've packed may help him lol!

Wow, definately subscribing to this thread so I don't lose it. I have a list of over twenty new ideas added to my vacation notebook. It took me three days to get through it all!

There was a post earlier about using different folders for flight paperwork, rental car papers, hotel info, park info, etc, but what we do is instead of get different colored paper clips/binder clips for the different types of paperwork and keep it all together in a large plastic envelope with a velcro closure. I label the outside of it with what color goes with flights or hotels or what-not. It's easy to keep the important papers organized and all in one place that way.

I was so happy that I bought a set of battery operated lights to decorate my dd's stroller. I was always able to spot it in a crowd and my dd loved having her stroller lit up in the dark

I have a Disney box that I keep things in to pack for the next time. Some of my favorites;

1. Leatherman tool
2. Several battery candles so I can take a relaxing bath in candlelight (with a nice glass of wine) I used to bring very small candles but read about the fire hazard and changed to battery type.
3. A plastic 12"x12" scrapbookers storage case to bring home ride photos, maps, menus and other items I don't want bent.

Brilliant! Adding it to my list!

Why a leather man tool?

Wow! This thread is great. Like everyone else I have started my list..for November

One thing I would like to add ( and scrapbookers will appreciate this) I take along a small notebook the a little bigger than a business card size, and when we get back to the room that day I write down highlights of the day, where we ate etc, because often I don't get to work on the scrapbook until much later and my memory isnt that good!

I'm a scrapbooker as well but since I take pictures of EVERYTHING and my memory is horrible, I plan on bringing a small journal with me to the parks every day. That way I can jot things down as we're waiting in line or sitting down for a meal.

Great minds think alike! Also, did you know that they have great paper and scrapbooks? I read a tip on here to bring a plastic box that holds the 12 x 12 paper so that it doesn't get bent on the fight home!

I take tons of pictures too and usually use my pictures to journal my vacation. However last time we went I brought a little spiral notebook about the size of an index card and wrote down little things that happened during the day - also used this to write the names of CM's that were awesome so I could later let management know about them.

If you cannot find Purex 3-in-1 sheets for washing clothes, you can pack a few of the tide pods in a plastic soap box (so they don't get squashed) and put it in a zip lock bag for travel!
