Here's what I need to get a bin for:

toiletries
trip folder
clothes
my small backpack
Disney wallet
medicine
small cooler


and I think that's about it! It's not much. I will go to Target about a month before the trip and get everything else I need like ponchos!

I keep all of our "trip" specific stuff in a strange place in between trips...we have one of those cheap plastic over-the-door shoe holders, which we bought for our second cruise, because you can throw stuff in THERE instead of having it all over the cabin. Except we found it was so useful, not just on the cruise, but for the hotel rooms too, that we keep it hanging in our linen closet year-round and toss little trip stuff in it as we get it.

Right now (from memory - I'm at work!), I think we have all our travel sized shampoos, lotions, etc., water misters, travel-sized medicines (some in baggies), moleskin and small scissors, waterproof watch, sunblock, and water shoes in there. As we get closer to time, we'll put all the other small stuff in it, pull it off the door and roll it up. It goes into the suitcase all rolled up, and when we get to the hotel, it's a snap to unroll it - and everything is still in it's place and already organized!

About a month before we go, I'll hijack one of our laundry baskets and start tossing the bigger stuff in it...beach towels, stuff we purchase as we go along, etc. so that when I go to pack, everything is in one location.

I'm getting sooo excited!!! Wish we were leaving tomorrow! 73 more days!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

i wish we were leaving tomorrow too!!

 

[scrappinmom]

hmm, ok I get it. Maybe I need to get myself a "bin" hahahah I just kinda toss stuff in a drawer & don't really know what I have. I did have tons of those dollar store ponchos but when it rained on our 4th of July parade I got them out & "shared" them with the neighbors!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

A bin really helps me, so that i am not searching at the last minute for stuff! that way i dump the bin into the suitcase adn start to organize from there! The bin ONLY holds stuff that goes to WDW, so i don't need to get it down all the time it's great when the bin comes out of storage and i can start getting excited!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

alright we've got to keep this thread alive! others please feel free to ask the questions!!

Bumping -- it's been too long since we had a post!

Hey, it's been a while. I've just moved into a new apartment, setting up the internet and trying to survive this last week of summer school, so I have been some what out of the loop as of late.

I think we are hitting that low point of Disney Vacation Anticipation. You know, when you first book your trip, you are really excited, and want to plan and talk about it, etc. But then you talk about it, and anticipate it so much, for so long, it comes a point when it seems like those dates will never come, so the flame dies down a bit (this is the low point) and then when you get within that one month range, it becomes real and obtainable again, so the fire starts raging. But, we are about 2 months away, 60 something days. It's almost here. And trust me, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I need a vacation.

As far as questions - not sure if anyone has asked this yet - what ride or attraction which is no longer at WDW do you miss the most?

As for me, I think it's just about every thing in Epcot. I just really miss Epcot from the 80's and it's bland, almost boring, but no nonsense approach to educating people on particular subject. Also, I miss the original Illuminations.

 

[scrappinmom]

Mine's from Epcot too...except it's the Tapestry of Dreams.......I used to LOVE to sit and watch it!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

i don't know really! i like the ever changing EPCOT

i'm back from entertaining guests, so i should be able to bump this every now and then!

Favorite Disney Character???

Mickey and Tink tie for me!!!

I'm excited. As an early b-day present, I booked my husband for the Saturday wine school as part of the food and wine festival. While I would love to go with, neither of our moms drink, so we'll shop while he's there. But, shhhh, don't tell him - it's a surprise. I'll be packing a slightly nicer outfit for him in my suitcase and inform him the night before of his plans for the day.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

rigs what a fabulous gift!!!!
