I wish I had pack _____for my room what

[Dismom55]

We use paper grocery/trash bags for the same, just fold flat, then fold to fit drawer, doubles as extra trash bags or extra bag for the extras on the way home if you are driving.

I always bring fabreeze I spray the bed the curtains every day,and it always smells so good when you walk into the room .

A battery power alarm clock that I know how to work.
More than once the one in the room didn't go off.

No need for an alarm clock - just get a wakeup call!! I even get them to wake us up in the middle of the day when we nap and have to get up to get ready for dinner ADRs.

I don't go ANYWHERE without my Tide to Go pen. I have them EVERYWHERE. My other "must have" is an antibacterial gel "pen". This is the little pen sized spray bottle, and it's the perfect size for my bag because it doesn't take up a lot of space. It's also great for the husband or son to put in their pockets.

I keep a travel bag with toiletries ready to travel at all times. When I shop and there is choice to purchase a razor with a free shaving cream I will purchase that. I then will put the free item in the travel bag. Overtime I have everything I need to travel already packed and ready for a weekend trip as well as our Disney trip. I think that the travel items are very expensive so when the opportunity to get what I use for free it helps with the overall budget.

I also start packing three weeks in advance. I take full advantage of the buy one get one free items well in advance.

Just a quick suggestion: I found Target to have a much larger selection of travel size items!!

Thanks for all the tips! I've been keeping notes on all of this!

Also, I don't know if anyone mentioned rain ponchos. We get the dollar store ones so we can just toss the soggy ones.

Ponchos are OK but you tend to sweat under them and get pretty damp. I prefer to keep the ponchos for water rides and use dollar store folding umbrellas for rain events. The little umbrellas also double as sun shade for when you're waiting for parades or in lines that extend to places that are not under cover, like the Safari ride in AK.

I like to take an empty, sandwich sized, tupperware container with me into the parks to save uneaten food in. I'm using the DDP this October and I know I may not want that brownie, or cookie or cake after my CS meal. If I put it into my backpack as is it'll just get crushed...but in the tupperware I'll have it in tact for a midnight snack ( or breakfast ).

Just a couple of things I throw in my suitcase: Downy wrinkle release spray, tea bags, coffee, filters, extra zip lock bags (always come in handy), large mugs (the ones at the resort are too small for us!), sugar and and a large "carpet bag" or duffle to take home all the things I buy there. I also pack any shampoos, conditioner, the Downy, etc. in ziploc bags.

I bring the fold up storage bins the little square ones, to put our socks underwear and PJ's in. There are 4 of us and 4 small drawers are not enough for all our clothes. Plus it makes it easier for my son just to grab his things out of instead of pulling all his clothes out looking for his stuff. They are Great for little kids clothes.

BENADRYL - I usually bring the children's version because I have little ones. While we don't have any allergies, we never know when we will discover a new one. It also helps with the sudden change of weather sniffles. Doctor also recommended it to settle down my adhd child when she has to sleep in a different place.

Wipes- Sometimes we need more than just hand sanitizer gel. We throw some in the front the backpack for easy access. It helps when dd has touched something gross or needs quick snack.

Baggies! All sizes of baggies! I use Ziploc... like and trust them best! They are great to keep items dry in case of water rides or rain and they definately help keep me organized!

I use them both in-room and in my park bag!

I have snack baggies big enough to hold my small cell phone (and for DH/DS cell phones as well, but they usually keep those baggies in their pockets for water-ride use), snack size for my hand sanitizer and for my small sunscreen/SPF lip balm, then quart size for Tylenol/Dramamine/ prescription meds/inhalers/ect..., and one also for contact solution and contact cases, then XL size to hold my bag if a downpour starts, gallon size for a receipts and tickets inside my bag, and a gallon size to put my camera case into, ect... I also take extras to keep in my bag.

In the room we use them for packing and storing items, food, ect...

Yes, I agree with this one....baggies ROCK!!!!

Along the lines of this, I always carry a collapsible tupperware container with me. It stays flat until I need to use it and I can expand it to whatever size I need.

Here's a link to the Tupperware one but Rubbermaid sells them, too:

I agree 100% you can find almost anything you need in a travel size at target. I found all laundry soap on there markdown section of the travel sizes for .25 cents and one thing does 2 loads of clothes!!!

Our must haves:

Multi-plug surge protector. This way I can plug in all my battery chargers in one place. I usually plug it in behind the tv cabinet (have to move it usually) and have the plug strip on the table. Makes it convenient for the toaster as well.

Room Spray-small room, small bath fan, enough said.

My own foaming soap from B&BW. I love it at home and hate bar soaps.

Lots of ziplocs.

Bag clips to keep snacks and cereal fresh.

Plastic Bowls for cereal in a.m.

Small, clip on or table top fan. I need the white noise and with the room a/c shutting down at night I need the coolness (only needed at value, others have ceiling fans.)

My assortment of O/C meds just in case. I usually have 2 containers ( I reuse orginal bottles) one for my purse, or bag, and one for in the room. I always carry: Aleve, Midol, Migraine Excedrin, Anti-Diarhea, Anithisitime, & Antacid.

Rechargeable batteries for everything.

Extra SD cards for dig cam. I like to take alot of pix.

Clothespin to close drapes. I like the idea of bindfer clips though.

Re: ponchos. Last year I bought a bog a 4 mesh bags at WM and they are perfect for carrying wet ponchos in. I clipped this on the stroller but this eyar will be our first year w/o one so I'll be clipping it to my bag-also bring carringer (sp?) clips.

My name and phone number on everything that I might lose. This has brought back my camera bag with batteries and SD cards that I left on the plane.

That's just some of my must haves.
