Does anyone else overpack for a disney trip?

Well... I'm trying to cut down. I no longer bring the kitchen sink! Seriously, though, we always overpack. In summer I need 2 shirts and 2 sets of undies per day as we go back to the room to relax and shower before going out for dinner. There is no way I'm crawling back into sweaty, icky clothes. In winter, you never know what the weather will be, so we bring jeans and sweaters, as well as tee shorts and hoodies. Also our winter jackets, which we need to wear to/from our home airport, and have sometimes needed when in FL. In the spring/fall, I try to pack according to the weather reports, but there are no guarantees, so I usually ahve a combo of shorts outfits, dresses with leggings, and layers if I need to keep warm. Always take the sneakers, wear a pair of crocs, then pack a pair of crocs. For sleeping there are leggings, tee shirts. Always bring a sweater and a hoodie, just in case, even in the summer as the hotel a/c can be a lot.

Don't get me started about meds and such. Ibuprofen, tylenol, pain meds, muscle relaxants, motion sickness meds, anti-diarrheal, Tums. Also bandaids, moleskin, knee brace, ankle brace, blister bandaids, small blunt scissors for trimming moleskin in the park, sunscreen, aloe, special sunscreen for nose and lips, spray antiperspirant, regular deodorant, face cream, body cream, shampoo, conditioner, anti-frizz stuff. Hair dryer (hotel ones are too hot) and curling iron. I absolutely do NOT want to pay Disney prices for any of these! ALso bring the all-in-one laundry/softener/dryer sheets and stain stick in case I DO have to do laundry.

Then there's the Disney specific stuff: Park bag, coffee pads, ears, neck fan, poncho... you get it.

Honestly it's sometimes exhausting to pack for a Disney trip- but you'll notice, the kitchen sink is no longer on the list!
