Does anyone else overpack for a disney trip?

[Beachmom0317]

I just booked our flights and since I don’t want to pay $70 to check a suitcase, we’ll have to only use our carry ons Our trip is 5/16 - 5/21 and I’m already stressing with how I’m going to pack all my outfits and ears in my carry ons . I don’t want my ears getting messed up…..that’s my priority (I’m serious )

I'm in the same boat! Husband only wants to do carry-on's. I told him I have 3 loungefly backpacks and 5 ears

I'm probably making it difficult on myself because not only do I overpack, but this next trip, I will be at 5 different hotels.

Ended up being 6 with a cancelled flight and an extra night in FL.

We almost always stick to carry-on unless it is a long trip. Then we maybe check a shared carry-on bag.

We always bring 2 pairs of shoes per person, where at least 1 is water tolerant. (Usually quality walking/water tolerant sandals and sneakers.)

On a recent trip, we got stuck doing laundry twice, which was unusual. We normally avoid it.

It was VERY easy to do laundry at Stella Nova! We started a load just after 8pm. Laundry room was a few doors down, very clean. It was $4 for washer, $1 for detergent, and $4 for the dryer. Room key required to enter.

Doing laundry at WDW hotel was harder: much longer walk out in the cold, later at night, laundry room less clean, and even at 11:30pm, most machines were still in USE! Upside was someone offered us free detergent.
