Has anyone forgotten to pack almost everything?

[FSU Girl]

Not sure where to post this. We are driving to our resort right now and I’ve realized on the drive that I have forgotten to pack so much stuff. I feel so scatterbrained I’ve never done this before. I didn’t pack my toiletry bag so I don’t have any of my makeup, toothbrush tooth paste. I wear contacts but I have both dailies and ones you wear for a month so I’ll still be able to see just need to buy contact cases and solution. Forgot a charger for phones. Forgot baby sunscreen. My hair brush and straightener. I had everything lined up in my bathroom to pack and I guess I just forgot to put into my suitcase. Ugh. I’m assuming most of this stuff isn’t sold at the resorts and I’ll need to stop at a target?

And this is just what I remember I’ve forgotten. I feel like at this point I’ve probably forgotten something else

Relax - deep breathe. This is not a problem. Although the resort's store will have much of what you need, it may not be your brands and will be expensive. Use the time on the drive to find the Target store you want near the resort, create an online order for store pickup. Select a pickup time that works for you and order what you need. Then all you have to do is park in the pickup spots, text them and they bring it to your car.

I think you can pick up some of the items at the gift shop - contact case and saline solution, baby sunscreen, toothbrush and toothpaste. There is a Sephora store at Disney Springs as well as MAC cosmetics for makeup and hair care products. Perhaps you may find a store there that sells chargers as well; I’m not sure about that one. It will be more costly than a Target stop, but you have options.

Thank you! I’m definitely panicking a bit. Great idea for the store pick up

It’s okay! Take a breath and stop at Target or Walmart on the way.

If it makes you feel better, I’ve done this before, not to Disney but to a conference where I was presenting. I packed everything for my husband and then 1 year old and didn’t realize until we were up in New Hampshire that I had forgotten my flatiron, makeup, clothes, and shoes at home…5 hours away.

I once had a business trip flight (from San Francisco to tel aviv) canceled and got re booked on a flight out for almost a whole day ealier, I picked up what I thought was my packed bag and left right after they confirmed the new flight details which gave me about 2 hours to get on the flight, I didn't double check the bag until I went looking for my head phones and I realized not only did I not have my in-flight entertainment but I also did not have any pants besides what I was wearing. I was also arriving on sabbath (everything closed) and had a meeting first thing in the am.

You should be able to get things at the resort, springs and/or Amazon prime.

Relax and have fun.

I once forgot to pack underwear and a swimsuit.

Ever since then, I use a master checklist that I refer to and only check things off as I literally put into the suitcases. Otherwise I WILL forget important stuff.

Does make me feel better lol. We have a target near the hotel plugged in to head towards so I’m a little more calm now

That sounds awful! I’m starting to calm down now I definitely was in panic mode. At least Disney is near civilization so there’s a target not too far away

That’s a great idea for a checklist I definitely need that from now on to avoid this happening again

I once had to have my Dailies contacts overnighted from 1800contacts to my Vegas hotel. Instacart brought ne the rest of my necessities that trip.

For Disney, Amazon Fresh 2 hr delivery to the rescue on our trip in May.

I probably would have had to do that if I was wearing my dailies right now. I have color contacts that I wear sometimes that are good for a month and happened to wear those today thankfully

If you are driving, just stop by aTarget and pick up anything you need.

GardenGrocer or AmazonFresh might help you. Do a list RIGHT NOW and order later in the day once you are settled.

Thank you everyone! Just stopped at target and got all our items! On our way now to Disney now!

I forgot my checked bag at home years ago. I headed straight to the airport after work. Freaked out when I parked at the airport when it wasn’t there. Did have my carry on which had contacts. Thank goodness it was a girls trip so I could share clothes with other people. Paid crazy money for my brother to overnight matching shirt I had made for all of us for the trip. I hear you on the scatter brained!

 

[Disneyfan628]

That’s a bad feeling! I’m not the best packer and I forget stuff a lot. Once we walked off without our sons suitcase and didn’t realize it until we got to the airport. It was a Disney trip for Halloween and we had to buy him new clothing plus a costume etc. everything was fine though! Glad you were able to get your stuff!

Disney's got to be one of the best places to forget stuff - stores everywhere on the way. Now when you forget to pack things and are on a CRUISE at sea, you're really SOL. No walmarts or targets - just useless "frou frou" overpriced boutique stores. You gotta pray there's something in port. I must have checked my packing list and suitcases 10 times over - was so paranoid I'd forget something.

Last trip, I forgot to pack pants.

I was there for the half marathon and packed plenty of running shorts, but somehow left the house with only the pants I was wearing. I had to hit up the outlets before going to dinner.

I also own several Disney-themed swimsuits because I forget to pack my own almost every trip.

My first trip to WDW Dec 2019 I didn't bring shirts.
Just a weekend trip, not really a big deal but whenever I talk about WDW my brothers like "remember that trip when you forgot to bring a shirt?"
I got my first WDW tee on that trip.
