So guess who is a slacker? That would be me......haven't packed one single thing or really gotten anything ready except my FE! I did manage to add another day to my already 3 day WDW after the cruise. First things first!
So now today, I wake up a realize that we are leaving next Wed!!
So fellow cruisers, it has been 11 years since my last
Disney cruise and I am drawing a blank on how I should plan my packing! Help
MEEEE MEEEEE MEEEEE - as in a slacker....I cannot believe we have less than 6 days until we cruise.
As for packing........I have been fortunate to have been able to cruise more often than once 11 years but by no means a veteran as some of these folks are. There is the packing list, that I think is on the FAQ page, but I do as Stacey.
Start with Dinners - Dress or slacks and top and shoes. I use same shoes for all nights, who cares if they match, feet are under the table. (PS - I wear a dress, Sam does not).....
Are you doing Pirate Night? If so, then two Dinners, one Pirate.
Add the swim stuff for
Castaway Cay and the Pools. Swim googles, mask, fins - anything like that you may be bringing.
Any excursions on Nassua - do you need walking shoes, do you wear long sleeves in the sun - like me....
Did I mention swim stuff? Toss in an extra swim suit. Flops for the deck.
Are you doing any ship photos, like a family portrait where folks wear similar outfits? Or the casual ones?
Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, did I mention the swim suit?
I take a swimsuit coverup that can double as a casual dress for being on deck.

Going to the gym at all, you will need closed in shoes. Even if you have "approved walking sandles" you will need closed in shoes.
I have long hair, I find a barrette or two works when it is wet, instead of worring about styling. Scunchies, hair conditioner, comb.
All the shampoo, make-up, toothpaste, contact lense stuff.
Power cords - sure
Extra batteries for camera, extra camera chips.
Oh yes, the CAMERA itself.....
Jewerly or not to match outfits if dress up.
PASSPORTS AND CRUISE DOCUMENTS.
as if you would forget those.
Tip Envelopes, Door signs, Fish Extender Gifts,
Spare glasses if needed...Glasses if you tend to rely on contacts.
Medications - this is one that is on the WDW page...so I guess I should include it.
Put the extra t-shirts back if you tend to buy one on the cruise, it is great for debarcation day. If you don't no one will remember if you wear the same one you boarded in. We will either be asleep or suffering from the Cocoa Beach dust. But remember to add the extra small stuff, undies - socks....we don't want to waste any of our time washing do we?
And unles I am offending someone, don't bother with the bottled water, the ship's water is fine. I do bring a water bottle, although Castaway Cay returnng gifts have included them in the past, I don't like to count on it.
Oh yes, and in my case, one very demanding Hedgehog.
