DH and I are heading to WDW for two weeks, starting Dec. 10th. I really don't want to do laundry because I absolutely HATE spending my vacation time in the laundry room! We are driving and we have lots of room, so I don't mind taking a gigantic suitcase for all our clothes. I know I will probably still end up having to do a few loads sometime while we are there, but I don't want to have to do lots of washing and drying. Can you help me figure out how many of each of these items to pack for the two of us? Remember, we need clothes for 14 days!

How many t-shirts each?
Sweatshirts?
Shorts?
Jeans or long pants?
Socks?
Undies?
 
heres what I would do
10 undies
5 shorts
5 jean
10 shirts (i like 2 shirts to 1 pair of shorts)
I try never to buy a shirt that can only be worn with 1 outfit
3 sweatshirts.
I woukd wear all my jean?shorts with the 1st set of clothes the 1st week, than change the shirts and wear the shorts/jeans the 2nd week.
 
Don't forget to take your biggest clothes. If you're like me, you won't be able to button your jeans any more at the end of your trip. :) Take rubberbands to hold your pants closed when they start to get snug. I got that tip here and it helped me to put off buying maternity clothes for several weeks.

When we go during cool weather, I pack lots of t-shirts because we have lots of them and they don't take up much room. Neither of us wears a warm long sleeved shirt without a t-shirt underneath it. That way we can wear the warmer shirts more than once if we need to.
 
Thanks! That's a great suggestion about the rubberbands. I was worried about whether or not I would still be able to fit into my regular shorts at the end of our trip. I will be finishing the 12th week by the time we get home. I know that I won't really need maternity clothes by then, but I figured that some of my regular stuff might be getting pretty snug.
 

We are going for 15 nights/16 days

I am packing
1 pair of short (its all I have)
2 pairs of jeans
2 pair of kakhi pants (1 biege, 1 navy)
2 long sleeve t shirts
8 short sleeve shirts
2 sweatshirts
10 pairs of panties
10 pairs of socks
1 swimsuit
1 set of Flannel PJ's
1 set of shorts PJ's

We will have to do laundry unfortunetly but I don't have anymore clothes to pack.
