Does anyone else overpack for a disney trip?

What rules? Depending on the stock or store you can buy beer, wine, liquor/spirits.

Florida laws. Publix, for example has a separate liquor store next to the supermarket. In some states you can only buy beer and wine in a super market and spirits have to be at a separate/dedicated store, some states liquor stores are state run. Things like that. They’re called blue laws and carry over weird hurdles from prohibition that make acquiring booze tricky at times.

In Texas on Sunday you can’t buy liquor in the store but beer and wine can be purchased after noon. Some counties are dry some are “damp”. In Dallas county until 2010 you had to join a “private club” in order to buy alcohol in a restaurant with your meal.

I appreciate the help though. It is a good tool to plug in the zip code on the target app. Thank you.

They might be referring to what is legally allowed to be sold in stores. I know our trip to visit my father-in-law in Texas many years ago we found out the very strict rules where you could only get beer or wine or vast amounts of dry counties there (that was back then not sure what it is now). Then there's rules about when it can be sold, etc.

In my state you can't buy hard alcohol or wine at the grocery stores and up until 2019 you couldn't buy beer that was more than 3.2% alcohol at the grocery stores, since 2019 you can buy up to 6% beer in grocery stores. You have to go to liquor stores for hard liquor and wine and for higher alcohol content on the beer. Personally I just go to the liquor store as it gives me ordinarily the most options.

For your part though you're just explaining what you can buy in the store, presumably the retailers are following the law of the state they are distributing, in this case FL.

I agree with wearing different things according to the weather. When we leave for vacation, usually in the winter months, we have snow and ice and below zero temps. Then we arrive in Florida in jeans, sweaters and coats and we burn up til we get to the resort, lol. Sometimes, we leave our coats in our parked car and dress lite. Either way, it's a pain in the keezer to dress for both places when the climates are so different.

A pair of convertible pants with zip off legs is my best traveling companion.

I overpack on clothes for all vacations. As a woman so many things can affect my body and how comfortable I feel in a particular outfit. I don't see the reason not to pack a few extra outfits just in case.

As for toiletries, I always pack all of my own. I also pack some meds but I don't pack the whole medicine cabinet. I understand I'm not in a third world country and can get most stuff in the gift shop or do a Walmart order if needed (and we have before). We've also ubered to Target when DD needed a medicine that wasn't available at Disney.
