I wouldn't leave home without...

We just recently returned home after a wonderful 7 days at Disney. I thought I would pass along a few tips.

*First of all, if your going during the heat, be sure to bring along a spray bottle to fill with ice water. They are $15 to purchase at Disney. I never thought we would need one...but we did.

*Our lifesaver snack ended up being trail mix that we brought along from Sams Club. Just a handful of peanuts, raisins and M&Ms gave us the energy boost we needed to get along without having to purchase snacks. For 4 of us, 2 sandwich baggies of trail mix per day would have been nice.

*When you just have to have a frozen treat, get the frozen chocolate banana. The potassium will also give you an energy boost. The ice cream made us feel too heavy in the heat of the day.

*Stick some wet wipes in your back pack...for wiping off tables, kids and adults, etc... you will use them.

*Don't leave home without some type of Shout It Out or Spray N Wash. I took the individual packages which was easily stuck in the backpack and we used several times. I wish I would have just taken a bottle too and kept in the room for when we ended the day. You can't imagine the adults walking around DW in need of this!

*If you are planning on wearing a sundress, you will want something under it to absorb the moisture from the heat. My 18-year-old daughter purchased some roll-on (deoderant looking) product for chaffing, but what she really needed was some of those very thin cotton leggin's shorts things. The roll-on stuff only worked for the 1st hour or so in the heat.
 
Great list! Love the frozen banana one...never thought of that! :thumbsup2

I'll add that we never leave home without:

My bagallinni!

A small emergency first aid kit

Lots of disposable ponchos! Bring extra to cover a stroller just in case

100 Calorie Snack packs

a case a water that we had shipped to the resort- way cheaper than the parks.

02 Cool personal misters...work fabulous for cooling down the little ones and easily fits in park bags

several changes of shoes and moisture-wicking socks
 
A power strip-there are never enough outlets in the hotel rooms for all our chargers.
 

1 monastat smoothing gel same thing as body glide only much cheaper is odorless an colorless can be used anywhere on body of both sexes.

2. Blistex sunburn protection in summer winter for the dry lips.

3 extra shoes an extra socks unless stayin offsite with washer an dryer in unit then 4 pairs of socks max will do me.

4. folding sissors they a buck at walfart amazing what they will cut too.The blades on these are only an inch long but they do cut very well. Usually don't take them in the parks but always use them at our room or rental.
