It never fails that I forget SOMEthing. What have you forgotten to pack or do before a trip before?

We arrive at Port Orleans tomorrow at the start of a split stay (POR, AS-Sports, SVR) and I'm packing my bags and checking my lists....but I know I'm forgetting something.....
 
I usually forget some some health & beauty items like toothpaste, combs, shaving cream, etc. More than forgetting, I'll take an empty bottle of something and then have to buy it. Sunblock is another one.
 

Years ago I bought my kids Disney Dollars to go in their Easter baskets. We were headed to Disneyland after Easter Breakfast. Well, I remembered about 4 hours into the drive that the Disney Dollars were still sitting on my craft table and had never made it into their baskets! The funny thing is that I bought them from a friend who had bought them for her kids spending money on their trip and she forgot them at home. Doh!
 
I always make a list on my phone while we are there of what I forgot so I can add it to my list for next time. It doesn't seem to prevent me forgetting something else next time though! Usually because I forget how much I wanted it and think, "oh, we don't really need to bring that." Anyway, this is my "forgot it" list from our last trip:
  • Scissors for moleskin
  • Makeup removing face wash
  • Portable charger (didn't need it two times ago, wished we had it last time!)
  • Brita water bottle
  • Warmer clothes for sleeping - my DH likes to keep there room cold and I really wished I had long pants and a long sleeve shirt for sleeping in
 
I'll add:

Extra ziplock bags
Sharpie
Camera charger
Small First-aid kit
 
Do you have a power strip?
This is my bugger...it is somewhere in my room but I have to go hunting for it.
<Last trip I left my camera and magic bands at the hotel we stayed at before our flight to Disney...thank Goodness I had gotten the Memory Maker>
 
The worst item I have forgotten was shoes! I slipped on flip flops to load the car that morning, and we left at 3AM for a very early flight (I blame the lack of sleep here, haha) and I forgot to grab my tennis shoes! As much as I enjoyed that trip, after about half a day I was miserable with blisters and swollen feet! Now my DH makes me sleep in my shoes the night before! :rotfl:
 
Last time to Disney I forgot my bathing suit. Had to buy another one there.
 
I second the night light. We were on our way out the door when it popped into my head, thank goodness. But that was almost trouble.
