My mom and I went shopping last weekend. We each have a pair of sandals. I have a new sundress to wear for our traveling day. I have a pair of Nike Shoxs I'm breaking in. I have 2 pairs of walking shorts, two pairs of capris, and 4 shirts (we found that shirts on clearance at Wal-Mart). I also have an 8-roll pack of film for my camera.

My mom has two pairs of capris and two shirts. She also has a new pair of athletic shoes (can't think of the brand name at this moment) that I bought her for her birthday. Oh and get this! For Mother's Day, I didn't know what to get her for Mother's Day. She told me not to worry about it. A couple of days before the holiday, she was like, 'OH! I know what you can get me! You can get me stuff I'll need for Disney!' So I hit the health and beauty department at Wal-Mart and got her a toothbrush and cover, toothpaste, deodorant, liquid soap, plastic bottles for lotions and whatnots and some other things. She is already laying things in her suitcase and as of today, we STILL have 69 days! If I wasn't using my suitcases this weekend, I would already be packed!

What are the baggallini bags? I went on the website and there are so many. Is there one that's good for carring around the parks?

Misting Fans

New Clothes for each of us.

I'm sure there is more.

And the DMIL is driving so she is bringing more snacks, bottled water and Gatoraide.

I just bought an Aurora light up spinner for my DD and a Chicken Little one for my DS at a Disney outlet to take along. They were less than $5 versus the $14.00 I would spend on them at Disney!

I also bought 2 of the small water/fan things with a clip for a belt or backpack to take along - bought at Walmart by the fan section on an endcap.

 

[kaysmommie]

Poncho's for us & kids

Crocs for me & DD, Dh & DS will wear sandals or sneakers
Sunglasses for kids

There is probably even more. I buy all year long and put away for Disney. For some reason I think the kids even have to wear Disney pajamas and underwear when we're at WDW - I know its crazy. They have all new clothes that they are not even allowed to wear. Luckily I've trained them well and they know not to touch them.

I have bought a new digital camera- the cannon powershot, awesome camera!!!!! Come August I will purchase a good pair of walking sneakers, like Reeboks or Avia's.

 

[yankeepenny]

you know those mesh bags for athletic equipment/laundry use?
I am bringing one of those, fold it up in the big suitcase i will fit it in, then when i daily put the dirty stuff in one spot, if we do laundry it is in an easy to grab "bag " and the stuff for the end of the trip will be in it, and put right in the case, and at home open it up and bring the bag right to the wash machine.

That's a great idea! I always try and use the plastic bag left in the hotel room to put my dirty clothes in but not everything fits in that so I end up mixing the dirty and clean clothes anyway. I am definitely going to try the mesh bag idea for my upcoming trip. Thanks for the tip!
