HELP!!! Time is running out!!!

[Crazy for Tigger]

OK, I really need the DIS board family tonight!!!!


See my timer??? Time is running out and I have 2 very empty suitcases sitting here. I have spent so much time on the DIS boards planning and getting great advice, and somehow my time is just about run out. I have got to pack tonight....period!!! I have to work tomorrow and will be leaving at 5 am on Thursday.

My DS8 and I are going to meet my mom in Orlando for a sure to be magical trip. I have a packing list I have worked on with the help of many people here, but I need any imput on something I might forget in my rush to get everything done.


PLEASE post anything you have forgotten or wished you would have packed so I can throw it in tonight!!!
Thanks in advance and HUGE thanks to all of you and your wonderful and helpful advice.




I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!

 

[Jasminesmommy]

Gum- not sold at parks

Extra film-Just in case

If bringing video camara the recharger

Suntan lotion and bug spray

snacks for plane

 

[CBRorBust]

Pack Dramamine. Even if you don't get sick on flights, you might.

Pack your sneakers! I once went to WDW and forgot mine! It was really horrible.

Pack a bar of your soap. No time to discover you're allergic to whatever the hotel uses.

Pack a Poncho. You won't want to pay $8 for them at the park.

Oh! If you have long hair like me, don't forget your rubber bands!A MUST at WDW!

One more thing-if you're taking your cell phone, don't forget the charger!

 

[RobinMarie]

I'll second gum!

Batteries!

I don't know what to add! I'm a classic OVER-packer.. I end up packing everything but the kitchen sink. LOL
The only thing we've ever not taken enough of that I wish we had- was film. I brought a lot but not quite enough, bought some at MK and those 3 rolls all had messed up pictures (didn't come out at all on those specific 3 rolls- but the camera has worked fine since with other rolls).

So I don't trust buying film at WDW anymore. Bring lots~ more than you think you'll need!

 

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

don't forget extra batteries for the regular cameras, light up toys, etc. Also, extra video tapes for the video camera...I also usually bring "first aid" type stuff, for blisters or whatever in the parks, band-aids, moleskin,antiseptic,etc....have a great trip!

 

[geffric]

sunscreen, and extra film, sun glasses and one extra pair of pants/shorts just in case..

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Pack a smile!!

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

OH yes, extra sunglasses. I lost mine and had to buy another pair- there was no WAY I could go 10 more days out in the sun all day every day without sunglasses! My eyes water from even thinking about that. LOL

(ps. pack me!)

I'm an overpacker as well but one thing I have never regretted is packing at least 3 pair of shoes! Especially in summer when all the fountains and misters everywhere, not to mention the water rides and the rain in Orlando during the summer.

Pack your I.D. or you ain't going nowhere!!!

I forgot to take those prepackaged "moist towelettes" last time, and really wished I had some. They're great for quick cleanups before and after eating.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

 

[Crazy for Tigger]

Thank-you so much everyone!!!

Now I have a confession.....it is 5:30 Wed. morning and I am STILL not packed. I just can't seem to get the stuff in the suitcases. I know what I want to take but can't seem to put it in the suitcases. Is there something wrong with me???


This trip was a surprise and we only found out 8 weeks ago. Since then I have lived on these boards....reading before work, after work and all weekend. I am so excited, but can't seem to get it together and now I have less than 24 hours. The funny part is that I wanted to pack 3 weeks ago.


All your suggestions are great, and I will keep reading as I pack tonight. I have NO choice! I have to get ready for work now, but any other ideas are much appreciated. Anyone else have this last minute procrastination problems???

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
