I Need packing motivation!!!

[penguincrazie]

We leave on Saturday morning on a 6:30am flight I need to do laundry, figure out what I am packing and then start packing. I am so excited but I hate packing and can't get off the Dis!

Please, give me motivation!

Anyone else going this weekend???

I will be arriving at SSR on Sunday 10/21 and checking out on Friday!
You better get up and start packing or I'll be done before you!
(How's that for some motivation!) LOL!!!

Do what I do, place a luandry basket in yor room or in a corner and as you think of stuff or decide that it is something you are wanting to pack put it in there!
This makes it easier so when youare really going nuts you do not forget about those things you though about earlier in the week.

Now...let's see who will be done first! Race ya!

A littleless this and a lot more of this

Okay... What's your status? I got a load of laundry done and have our PJ's set out. I took out some clothes but need to figure out what goes with what so I don't end up with nothing that matches (I've done that!).

UGH.... I love vacation, esprecially at Disney but why can't my clothes just magically appear there ? I hate packing and usually end up doing it until 3am the night before leaving, but with a 6:30am flight that can't happen!

Ok.... I am going to work on it more tomorrow!

dont pack clothes, pack outfits, I write a list of what I wanna wear to each park, actually envision whatever u will wear and then ziplock bag it all, makes for stress free mornings with kids, love it

I've been making my lists and checking it twice. So afraid I'm going to forget something, but it's all so worth it.

 

[penguincrazie]

Okay, I need to get moving. I haven't done anything yet today (packing wise)! I am going to do the outfit thing.

Okay.... I am going now..... really.... I am not going to read any more trip reports....really.....I am going now.....okay, maybe just one more........

O.K. right now I am in "stock-pile " mode. Since we will be in a 2 bedroom villa for the week I am getting the snacks, bottled H2o, cereal, etc. together. Then since we will be traveling with an 18 month old...toys, books, puzzels, etc. Becasue we do have a day or two of downtime. Plus since my MIL and FIL will be down on vacation with us they will sometimes take the baby back to the room while hubby and I get 1 on 1 time.... with our 5yr old! (and you probably though we were going to say "by ourselves!" LOL! Riiiggghhhhtt!

Anywho...laundry tomorrow along with packing up some toiletries. I will def. have the 18 month olds clothes packed too by tomorrow! (she can live in diapers for the next few days...right?

Oh and I can't forget our whirling spinner things for the night time at the theme parks becasue I am NOT buying those things again. $$$ Then I must remember my DS's autograph book, pressed penny book, and Mickey Basball hat.
O.K. penguincrazie...I guess we are getting down to the wire closer for you but I'm sure we can pull it off!



Happy packing!

 

[penguincrazie]

My 2 year old's clothes are almost done.

I didn't end up getting ANYTHING done today!

Now its getting down to the wire, I need to do a lot tomorrow! Yikes, why do I always do this????

I leave Saturday morning too - driving down and due to check in on Monday at AKL (we're making a 'pit stop' for the Nascar race in Martinsville on Sunday).
I haven't started packing for my trip because our house just sold this past weekend, and we had to go find another house before we leave since we have to move in 4 weeks (and I'll be away for one of them!)
Anywhoo, found a house, all that's settled - now I have to what? Oh yeah, pack for my trip to Disney
Thankfully it's just me and DH, and since we are driving I don't have to worry about travel size stuff, what to put in the carry-on, etc. Just throw it all in our suitcases and off we go. After, of course, I do the laundry, clean the house and get all the groceries for the kids for the week. I guess I should get off the DIS as well - just can't help myself.
Have a great trip everyone!!!

You are tooo funny! I also leave Saturday and thus far I have two suitcases packed....but I have clothes to wash and papers to get in order (directions, park maps, MNSSHP tix, fridg swap info, etc...) Still have to buy more cat food and the body glide! I almost forgot to get that!!!!

I can't start until tomorrow AM (I have been stockpiling somewhat)...we fly out 5:45AM Sunday, and nothing to do tomorrow but wash, pack, clean, etc.

I had a huge list of things to do this week & it has been so busy I HAD to take care of everything each day. SO I am remarkably calm....maybe frightningly so. DH & I travel frequently, so packing isn't too big of a deal. Kids are 12, 9 & 7, so other than Nintendos, they don't need much more than clothes & toothbrushes.

Guess I should attempt to focus on work..... I thought about taking today off, but really couldn't justify it...I may need Monday October 29 off much worse (we fly in at 5PM...6:30 or 7 before we get home..... )
