Does anyone else overpack for a disney trip?

[MICKIMINI]

Oh yes! I too have multiple outfits for each day, various bags, ears, shoes and pj's, lounge wear, swim wear, etc. If we don't have a 1BR it is worse since I can't wash clothes daily. We have 9 nights at BWV in a studio in April/May which will be a packing nightmare! I often ship USPS large one price boxes with the heaviest items like shoes and jeans and some OTC stuff. I always wear jeans and a fleece jacket on the plane no matter the temp so I don't have to pack them. DH makes me stop at 2 carry on bags (overhead) and a large tote and backpack (under the seat) what a whiner!

I could not and would not wear the same sweaty fashionable park outfit to an ADR that evening yikes! And ears and bags have to match, of course LOL!

Our son and DIL are masters of packing less and matching all the above, however they do take advantage of the laundry if they are in a studio when we are in a 1BR. It takes a lot to look good LOL!!

Last year I had 2 new dresses for the MNSSHP but forgot the undergarments, so the extra outfits were a life saver - plus it rained one night and one like being in a dress in the rain.......

I have 2 dresses for this year's parties, but right now rain is forecast so......we'll see.

I also think I've decided to go with 2 smaller bags ('carry on size'). The 1 large bag is over 40 lbs before candy, so not a lot of weight to add there, plus I'm only 5'1" and the 1 big bagis already hard for me to handle. Even if the smaller bags are 40 lbs each they are easier fo rme to handle lol!

My family makes fun of me for over packing but I wear everything that I bring even if it kills me just to prove them wrong.

I did a weekend off site stay. I thought I packed minimally, but there were still things I didn’t touch. I over estimated on snacks. And clothing. But not too bad. I have 3 shirts and a pair of capris I didn’t wear. And ds has a pair of jeans and 2 shirts he didn’t wear.

We didn’t swim. So swim suits, cover-up, and towel went unused. It rained all day yesterday.

The hotel gave complimentary water bottles and the sweet housekeeper gave me 8 bottles yesterday for ds and I.

I cut down on toiletries. And did a good job there.

Yes yes and yes!
Especially now that my DD is 22.
We both have park outfits, dinner outfits, bumming around outfits, different ears for each day - it’s ridiculous . I love it though and wouldn’t change it for anything.

LOL - I have 1 outfit for each day, 1 outfit for each ticketed party, different shoes for each, plus 3 complete other outfits "just in case" and extra under clothes and socks. Oh, and PJs......

Our trip is coming up soon, 12 days. I've been thinking about starting to pack. I've always packed "extra"/just in case. Never went overboard when we flew. Now drive to WDW and can pack whatever I want but I still don't go crazy. I like to have back up in case I get stains on something.
