Here's our list:

1. Walkie Talkies (they've become invaluable when one of us is following keeping tabs on one child and the othe one is keeping tabs on the other!
Sometimes we found ourselves separated just a few yards and not able to see the other!
2. Velcro wristbands for the kids with our cell phone numbers and hotel name and number listed (in case they get lost.) Of course, any type of similar I.D. will do.
3. Gum...this is a new one for us...our 5 and 7 year olds use the prhase "I'm hungry" probably every 20 minutes and I've found that a pack of sugarless gum keeps them satisfied between meals for much longer periods.
4. Hand sanitizer and hand wipes.
5. The new Extra Large ziplock bags....they're great for dirty clothes hampers!
6. Zip-off cargo pants. I found these to be fantastic on those days in the parks which start off chilly and end up hot. They're lightweight and become shorts in a matter of minutes!
7. Fannypacks for each of the kids. Lets them carry their own snacks and treasures instead of burdening you down (like you don't already have enough in your own backpack
8. Ponchos
9. Sunglasses for everyone! Seems I always forget to bring them for the kids...needless to say, they each own about 100 pairs because we always end up buying a new pair!
10. Anything they have at the dollar store that you'd othewise pay big bucks for. onsite

power strip!
Between the camcorder battery, rechargables for the digital camera, cell phone charger etc. I don't want to be hunting for extra outlets in the room.

Oh yeah, clorox wipes- I still clean the resprt bathroom myself before we use it- call me paranoid!

Wow do they really not have sweet n low at the restaurants in the world? My DH needs that too.

When we were there in Jan., all they had was the blue packets not pink. I don't use either in my tea, but a friend uses pink. So that was something that that was asked at each place we ate. So if you DH needs it, take some with you from home. Then you won't have to worry about it.

 

[monica31671]

They have Splenda every where in the world. I don't know about Sweet N Low because I'm a Splenda fan.

 

[MelodyMack]

I can add one:

One of those collapable laundry hampers ($5 at WallyWorld). They are invaluable for keeping dirty clothes off the floor, and then you can use it to cart the clothes to the laundry room if you are CRAZY (or OCD, like me) enough to do it on vacation.

[Trissy]

Okay what's a moleskin and what's it for? Also, Bodyglide- where do you get that?

 

[lamb1022]

Hope I can name ten - it's been a long day...

1. Clorox Antibacterial wipes
2. Granola Bars or some other portable snack
3. Water Bottles for every family member
4. Sunscreen
5. Raingear of some sort (learned the hard way...)
6. Cell phones or walkie talkies

[Danauk]

OK, here's my top 10:

1) Passport, I would have problems getting to WDW without it!
2) $$
3) ipod, 9 1/2 hours on a plane is boring

5) Passporter, it has all my plans, reservations numbers etc in it.
6) camera, charger, spare memory card and batteries
7) small first aid kit
8) cell phones
9) power strip so I can re charge all my things over night.
10) Wet to dry hair straighteners

 

[RachaelRol]

This is intersting. Does it work on curly hair? How long does it take?

 

[scrapperjill]

Okay what's a moleskin and what's it for? Also, Bodyglide- where do you get that?

Moleskin..is something you can put on a "hot spot" where a blister is/could be forming...

And Bodyglide...can be found at various sports stores. I did a search on the bodyglide web site for local stores in my area and found it a bike shop...you can also order it online at some online drug stores ...I found it at REI...at the store..but also saw you can order it from REI.com

So many great ideas. I love this hamper one. We always bring a laundry bag but the hamper idea is even better.

Love the night light idea and power strip too. Lots of great ideas. Keep em coming.

Just when I think I've thought of everything I visit this thread and can't believe I never thought if some of these items.
