[newholidayx2]

Leaving in 20days. Im thinking of getting out the suitcases. Have lots of WDW "stuff" that I dont use at other times. Most of it is actually prepacked already anyways! lol just not out in eyesight

 

[AnnaS]

Two weeks from today

No packing yet, but have my reservation/confirmation papers, me tags, old park hopper tickets out. End of this week will bring luggage down. Have also started a do not forget list

 

[hogwartsdropout]

I'm going August 1st. We've bought so many clothes and some other stuff like sunscreen. We haven't actually packed it yet, more like thrown it into the suitcase! We will pack officially when we have about 2 or 3 days to go

 

[Poohbear123]

I am ALWAYS Packed for WDW! I just wash/dry/place back into the suitcase. DONE!

 

[missummer]

We are going Aug. 9th, and I have been throwing stuff in the suitcases, not quite packed, but put in so we don't forget it. A lot is special stuff just for the trip. I started doing that a couple of weeks ago and the fam thinks I am nuts!

I have not offically started packing in suitcases, BUT i have tons of stuff in my closet, New disney t-shirts for all, glowsticks, suntan lotion , travel bags, ponchos - everything i learned here on these boards is in bags waiting to go in suitcases........

I'll probably take down the suit cases the middle of August.

I'm afraid that if I get the suitcases out too early, it will only confirm my obsession. I'll be getting the suitcases out by next weekend, I'm sure. Right now I have a stack of new clothes/Disney t-shirts on the dresser, and my closet doorknob is loaded with Disney store & WalMart bags full of stuff for trip. I did break down yesterday, and fill my travel bottles with shampoo/conditoner.

We leave Saturday and our trip is now so real that I had my first attack of "I might not sleep all week". I feel the excitement I felt on my wedding day! All my lists look like I'm planning the invasion of Europe. 3 years has been too long. YIPPEEEEEE!!!!

 

[munchkin bunchkin]

We don't leave until the 27 so I don't start packing until the week before...But I've got it all ready bought,bagged and ready to be packed!

 

[beattyfamily]

We're going August 25 and I've already started packing.

I have a big plastic 'Disney' bucket in my closet for things that are only for Disney like our ponchos, Misty Mate, blister prevention products etc...

Anyway, I already have the ponchos, bathing suits, new socks, Misty Mate etc...packed.

I've already printed out my ultimate packing list to see what's left.

Really all that is left is a once over and then the final stuff that we still use like our brush, toothbrushes, make up etc...

I like packing early. Its all part of the fun.

 

[WLDPNY]

We don't leave until the 25th, but I went today and bought little travel size things and ponchos, etc. Getting very excited!!!!! Hubby will be packed long before me, I am a last minute packer. He is all organized and I run around looking like this LOL!!!!

 

[bctripp]

I got the suitcases out, and have been washing / ironing my kids clothes to see what they have. I got a packpack ready with ponchos and the other stuff like that, and have a shopping list of things to get this week. I'm going to pack my DH's clothes soon, he wears uniforms to work so he really won't need much this week. I am determined to be ready and not have to rush at the last minute, but it's not looking good. To make matters worse our 1 year old washing machine is acting up (hangs up after rinsing during the draining), there's something wrong with it that will not be fixed until we are back most likely, no time this week. Oh well, thats why we bought the warranty. Just what I need is another problem / something to worry about!

 

[I'mAlittleBitGoofy]

I started a couple of weeks ago, throwing things in here and there. We leave August 5 so I'll officially pack that week. I bought the Mickey suitcases that were on sale for $40. a couple of months ago, so I have been filling them up slowly! lol

 

[lynninpa]

I will not pack until the day before we leave! Otherwise, if I pack any earlier than that, I will pack...then unpack...then pack again...then....

 

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

My family & I started packing today because this comming Saturday at 2:00 AM we are begining our vacation by 1st driving to Clearwater Beach. After that on August 8th it's off to Walt Disney World for our stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort & we are there until August 19th.

 

[goofie4goofy]

I start mentally packing about a month before......

I pack for real about a week before....

I will start mentally packing in about 10 days for our trip in Sept

I love to pack!

By the time we get home it will be time to pack for Vegas then time to pack for WDW again for December!

 

[maciec]

I've made my list and I have checked it twice and then again and again and again, but I haven't started packing yet. We leave for Baltimore on August 4th where we will spend the night in the hotel prior to our flight leaving on the 5th at 7am. From Baltimore we fly to Maine where we will spend 2 nights with my in-laws and then on the 7th, dh and I will get up at the crack of dawn, drive to Manchester, NH where we will be taking our kidless trip to the GF!!!!!! OMG! We need this vacation soooo bad!

I went to Vegas the 3rd week of June and when I got home I unpacked the suitcase from that trip and started packing for the Disney trip (August 22nd). So the suitcases have been in the dining room floor for some time now! Here's what I already put in: (First ziploc)Tide tablets, Bounce sheets, Shout Color Catchers, Tide To Go stain stick, Shout wipes, (Second ziploc) about 15 flashing jelly rings from Party America in assorted colors, (Third ziploc) about 15 assorted battery fans, some squirt, some have a flashlight built in, etc and extra batteries, (Forth ziploc) First Aid supplies, bandaids, moleskin, etc., 3 nylon backpack cinch sacks that I sewed Mickey head buttons all over, roll of lime green ribbon, DD's laynard, autograph book, and Disney pin, laminated sign I made for our window at CSR, 3 pack of plastic bowls for cereal, beach/pool/water park bag, some new Disney tanks and t-shirts for DD and me and some non Disney tanks for DH. OK, I'll admit what you all are thinking.....I'm sick, aren't I!? And to top it off I woke up at 4:00 this morning and could NOT get back to sleep! If that has started already I'm in worse shape than even I thought! Anyway, to the OP...Yes, I have started packing and I leave August 22nd.

 

[Mickey&Donald]

I haven't started packing yet, but I'm mentally making lists. I've slowly been gathering everything we'll need but I won't start packing til a few days before we leave (August 23).

 

[Suzyq9241]

I am done packing and I don't leave until the 16th of August....

I went and bought brand new toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, lotion and
little things that need to be packed at the last second...

The only thing I have to put in there is the hair brush because it's my favorite brush... can't go anywhere with out it...

Now what I have to do is make a sign for CSR ... The door sign or window I am not sure which one or should I do both?
