Help me make sure I don't forget something key!



Ponchos
Sunscreen
Water toys for pool
Drawstring bag for park
Camera + charger
Rainboots on standby weather forecast depending (although we're driving so easy to take even if end up not needing)
2 hoodies each to swap out when one gets wet
Clothes + shoes
Disney travel package - tickets etc.


It's a short list but i'm a light packer not pack everything but the kitchen sink type.

Still though --- what have I missed
 
Any types of over the counter medication. It maybe be easier at DL to get these items from close by stores but at WDW unless you have a car you are stuck paying disney markup prices.
 
If you can, bring at least two pairs of shoes per person; not only will this be a life saver if one pair gets wet, but also if feet get sore it sometimes helps to change into another pair. Just the difference for a few hours can be really helpful.

I also agree with pp; bring some meds, something over the counter from home will be so much less than what you can buy in the parks. Since you are driving, you can toss a bottle of your favorte headache relief in the glove box and not have to worry about it. I also bring aloe, just in case the sunscreen breaks down.
 

It looks like your list is complete to me.

YAY:yay::yay::yay: We also leave on Friday morning. I can't wait to hear how your DS reacts when he finds out he is going to Disneyland. :)

This time next week we will already be in the park for our Magic Morning!!

I sure hope DS and I can drag ourselves out of bed for it since Monday will be a 6-7hr drive in the car followed by a good 4-6hrs in the park lol
 
was going to mention the meds too- ironically- we pack everything- from toothache to pepto - you never know- and certainly dont want to look for it when you need it- and band aids- also- some kind of chaffing cream- A&D works great for us... in between water rides where clothes rub... LOL some batteries... for your camera even though it charges... Idont know .... the camera charger/ bring it. Small plushies if you have room- that way housekeeping can decorate your beds when you return... saves money from buying em. Ziploc bags- you never know- wet bathing suits clothes etc. wet wipes - to wipe down surfaces like your dining table or - the hotel phone and remote- or if you fly- that fold down table and the seatbelts and the window. A few quarters and a penny for the pressed penny machine, oh and cut up half a clean sponge dry- and squirt some dish soap on it- let it dry- and Bam! Stick it in a ziplock bag- works wonders on cleaning dishes in room etc. Don't forget the autograph book and a pen LOL! Have fun!
 
forgot to mention- copy your disney tickets so if they get lost- you can replace em!
Can you really?? How does that work?

First of all YEAH!! :cool1: We have 41 days to go!! I made an extensive list because I have 5 daughters and I have been having nightmares that I would forget very basic things. LOL! So here are a few things I didn't see on your list.

Charger or batteries for camera extra memory card
swim suits/trunks
comb or hairbrush
rubber bands or clip
toiletries
 
Cell phone / Cell phone charger
We always bring a power strip because we have 4 adults, each with a phone, at least 2 cameras that need charging.
 
I take a photo of our park hoppers (and we sign them when they are paper tickets) just in case they get lost. That way Disney can cancel them and issue new ones. :) They just need the numbers off the back to do this.
 
I just pulled out some individual packaged wet-ones. I'm behind on packing. I'm bringing the autograph book in case he changes his mind and wants more autographs. I like to take a waterproof watch. Useful at pool and in the parks.
