I have bought glow sticks at the dollar store. My children always ask for the light up toys that they sell during the parades. This deters them a little from asking every night. I also buy princessnote paper, stickers and crayons for my kids to play with while DH and I are getting ready in the AM. I bought a new fanny pack and backpack. I really needed new ones. I bought plastic ziploc bags for snacks that i willbuy when i am down there. Large ziploc bags to bring int he parks in case one of my DD's has an accident or if it rains and we need a change of clothes then i can put the wet clothes in a bag. I bought sunblock that hangs on a clip for easy access. I purchased little plastic bottles to fill with shampoo, conditoner, lotion, aloe, etc. I don't like to cart big bottles in my suitcase on the plane. This way i can just throw them away when our trip is over. With the weight restrictions of suitcases on planes, the regular sized bottles would just add more weight and i will be bringing home souveneirs. I also purchased velcro ID's for my children to wear on their shoes. They matched their shoes so that they wouldn't stand out, but my DD's knew that they were there in case we got separated and needed them. I also purchase matching outfits for my DH or make them. It is so much easier to find them if they look alike. One year my oldest one wandered off on us and i was so distraught i couldn't remember what she was wearing. Luckily i had dressed my daughters alike so i pointed to my little one and told security that my oldest was wearing the same thing.

I hit Victoria Secrets semi annual sale & bought a bunch of underwear just for Disney for me & DD. Our trip is over a year away, but it is a surprise for DD birthday & I am going to be packing suitcases away from home where she won't know that we are going until the day before we go.

I am also planning to buy 10 new Tink tshirts for DD.

For our last trip I purcheased packages of light up ice cubes for the kids at Walgreens $5 for 2. Cheaper than if purchased at Disney. I also bought light sticks out of the $1 bin at Target.

I have been buying pins for trading. I purchased 2 extra batteries for our digital camera & several extra memory cards. I will be photographing EVERYTHING on this trip. I can currently take 800 pictures without recharging or downloading.

I will have purchased DD a small gift for each morning of our trip (as this is to be her 14th BDAY)

I intend to hit the summer clearance HARD this year to buy up shorts & Tshirts to put away for the trip for all of us.

Ok I know this is nuts - We are not going until Dec. - But I just got back from the Disney Store. I was on my way to work out at the YMCA I really was and I missed my turn and all of the sudden I was at the mall!

I bought 4.99 t-shirts for my DD and myself and a 12.50 pirates of the car. shirt for my son. DH likes it so much, I may have to go back and get another.

My fav. is a peach colored t-shirt that says Forever Princess with Cinderella on it. It's been a very tough year - I'm recouping from a major illness and that shirt just cheers me up. The others are going in the Disney Drawer to stay nice for the trip.

We are leaving DEC 27 so I plan to be at the Disney Story bright and Early the day after Christmas to stock up on shirts for everyone for the trip.

PS I did mall walk for thirty minutes after I missed my turn :0

I don't know if I can even begin to list everything!

I have bought almost an entire wardrobe for myself - tons of new shirts, shorts, shoes, bras, a swim suit, a new purse, several baseball caps.

Tons of clothes for DH & DS, and new shoes for both. Baseball caps for DS.

I had custom T-shirts made for everyone in our group to wear to MK on my birthday.

A mesh backpack because DH thinks the regular one will be too hot.

Sunscreen, lip balm, Advil, candy & gum, more ponchos, Purell, hand wipes, lint rollers, wrinkle releaser, memory cards for the digital camera, odds and ends for first aid.

I have a wad of Disney Dollars and one of the new Disney gift cards, and I will probably get some travelers checks to pay for the upgarde to APs on our tickets.

I have been planning this trip since last November, so I have been buying stuff since then!

 

[grinningghost]

So far, 4 different color shower puffs, so we can all have one of our own, and can then discard them on the last day.

A new little backpack (which is so cool) for the parks - my old one was TOO little.

2 new pairs of crop pants for our TS dinners. I get too chilly in shorts, my legs freeze on the chairs.

 

[DisneyDork712]

I have a Baggallini Messenger put away for our trip. LOL I was afraid I was the only one who was hoarding anything for a WDW trip! I've also been looking for some lime green ponchos for the trip, but no luck so far.

I saw ponchos in lots of colors at "Outdoor World" yesterday. They were the dollar ones so you can just throw them away when u take them off & not worry about having to let them dry & fold them back up. I don't think they had lime green though. I think I saw red, orange, yellow, & green. There may have been more, but I didn't go through them.
