Don't forget to pack...

[shakebear]

I'm the kind of person who loves to pack. I love planning trips, and I love making lists about what to pack, everything like that, but no matter how carefully I plan, on each trip I go on, the second I sit on the plane and the seatbelt light is turned on I realize that I forgot that one thing.

But I'm on a mission. I know that people have different ideas on what is necessary to bring on WDW Vacations, and that's perfectly okay, but don't delete anything, as unnecessary as it may seem to you, because my mission is to keep other people from getting on the plane and realizing they forgot that one thing.

You may add whatever you want to the list, just try not to add anything that's already there (it's okay if it's similar to something else though).

But anyway, I'll start us off.

You'll need a truck to get all of this stuff to and from the airport. Don't forget a night light for the bathroom. It's tough in the dark in a strange room.
