Booked our Flight, now what?

[3girlsfun]

I will admit, I'm more than a little intimidated at the thought of packing for 5 people (2 in diapers) for airplane travel. That is my first question.....anyone have tips on packing for that many people for 8 days with the least amount of baggage? We are flying Delta, so we will have to pay for luggage.

I know we will be using GG.

Also, do I just call Disney and give them our flight info. for ME now?

it feels good to have the airfare, but now I have a whole new set of worries and stressors, I am so nutty about making sure I have everything I could possibly need!

Relax! I don't know where you are staying, but all the Disney resorts offer a place to do laundry or laundry service. Also, here is a helpful site--
www.onebag.com.

If you have a washer in your room take less clothes. If not use larger suitcases and combine clothes in the suitcases. This way if one doesn't make it to you right away everyone will have clothes. Remember you pay by the suitcase not the size. Be sure to wiegh the suitcase so you don't pay overage fees.

In one carry-on bag be sure to keep diapers and a change of clothes for little ones. With small children be sure to pack snacks and little quiet toys to play with. If they are movie watching age get a Disney DVD for them to watch. Have the kids take there favorite blanket, stuffed animal, or pillow, on the plane it is comforting. Take a stroller to check in at the GATE.

Yes, either online or by phone let Disney know when your flight arrives.

Enjoy

We take the large suitcases, just make sure you don't go over 50 lbs (we take a hand luggage scale with us to check the weight). Also, we take two of the wheeled carry-ons and put all the extra shoes in there since they take up space and weigh the most (don't weigh carry-ons - just need to fit in overhead bin).
