It is a little early to start thinking about packing, but when it does get to be that time....

Here are a couple of suggestions.

If you stay over the night before (and it sounds like you will), I pack all the bags for the cruise, but I do two things.

I put the clothes we will need for the night before the cruise, and the clothes for the next day in a plastic bag, on top of everything else, in one of the suitecases. That way you don't have to dig through everything in the big bags, to find what you want for that time period.

The second thing is I pack the clothes and anything else I want to carry onto the ship in another plastic bag(s) and put that on the top of the suitecase. That way, I can just take the bag(s), with our stuff we want to carry on the ship out of our big suitecase, and put it in whatever bag we will carry onto the ship. It only contains bathing suites for the kids and myself, so it doesn't take up much room. If you use disney transportation, you won't see your bags until later in the day, and you might want to hit the pools, after you get on the ship and have lunch.
