1st trip home - 45 days - what am i missing?

[glewis1123]

Hi everyone

We have 45 days til our first trip home - April 29th

Is there anything else I need to do other than what I normally would for a "non-home" wdw visit.

I've got the room, got the ap's, and made "key" ps reservations.

What am I missing? if anything

Thanks all

Just work on hiding that smile that we all seem to get as we get closer to going home. Non-believers just won't understand.....

take some of those tablets for the laundry and some fabric softner

yes I know you are on vacation and don't want to do the laundry - but if you get a 1-bedroom and up - the washer and dryer are there -

if you get a studio - the washer and dryer are in the laundry room but they are free - when do you get to do something free at WDW.

you want to bring your own detergent and things - because WDW prices are very high.

I bring a bacon microwave pan - for a studio. a non-stick pan for a 1-bedroom and up.

If you are flying to Orlando what transportation arrangements have you made from MCO to WDW? A grocery stop on the way to the World is a good idea. If you use a towncar service you'll have to plan your shopping, you get about a 20-30 minute stop.

We were so pleased with the BCV that we just did an add-on for 100 points. It's proximty to Epcot, Boardwalk and MGM is a real plus. Plus SAB and Beaches and Cream being right there works out well. Have a great trip.

You will love BCV! We got back last weekend from our first stay "home". These were a couple of things I wish I would have brought with: a few of the Bounce sheets for dryer, some twist ties, a night light and a shower cap.

Enjoy your trip!

Our nightlight, a flashlight, and a LARGE-display digital alarm clock are always in our travel bag (the clock helps because no matter what type of room you have, somebody can't see the clock radio).

Thanks for all the input!!!

The laundry items I didn't even think about - good idea!!!! We're only staying 4 nights @ BCV before changing to AKL - I can pack half the clothes run a load of wash the day before we check out - which means more room in the suitcases for souvenirs - lol

Already have transportation lined up - going to use Tiffany like we did last year for our stay at AKL - had excellent service from them.

We're going to do a grocery stop on the way from the airport. We'll typically only have a couple breakfasts in the room so will only be picking up bottled water, cereal, milk etc - some fruit and maybe some frozen pizza or ??? for those late night snacks my husband is notorious for.

Hoping to get an illuminations view so I can hit the take out line at beaches&cream and have my ice cream on my balcony and watch the show.

Can't wait!!

Thanks everyone
