Up Next.... Craigs Packing List! (yes I made him make one!)

 

[Cinderella16]

Ooo how exciting...your trip is getting so close!

Something you may want to add to your list...a small bottle of antibacterial lotion or gel--great to keep with you in the parks. Can't wait for more plans!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Woohoo, 1 month!! It's so close now!! You're packing list looks great!! I'm not sure if you should add anything else, I'll look at my packing list and see if there's anything you missed that might be crucial. I'd look now but I'm too lazy to go find my external hard drive!!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Don't forget some mags or something for the plane ride...have to keep your excitment level in check on the way there!!!! It'll be here so soon! I'm excited for you! And when you get back, I'll be about at my 90 day mark and making ADR's!! Are you going to do a trip report when you get back or wait? Also, I have been making a list a drinks I want DH and I to be sure and get while we are there...if you are interested?? Or, if you have a list, maybe we can compare and help each other bulk the lists up??!! LOL Pathetic, right? I just figure I need to sample many of them to be able to come on here and inform others of how they are. It's all for the good of the Dis readers!!

 

[shordiebecka]

I made one for dbf also..don't feel bad! One huge thing that helped me alot is an over the door shoe hanger to organize stuff in...since we will be there for 9 days I want to unpack and not feel like everything is lost! just an idea!! Also, don't forget your phone charger if you have a cell phone!

 

[Raider82]

Great trip report. Just discovered it.

Sounds like you have great plans already and are going to have a fantastic time! Vacations are so exciting aren't they?

Are you planning on going to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure? I'm pretty sure you can hop to both parks with your ticket - so if you make good time you might be able to see the studios and then go over to islands. There is also express passes you can buy to bypass the regular lines. Just a thought.

Suggestions maybe for your packing list:

Extra memory card! I'm not sure of the size of your current card, but it might be worth it to get an extra. Memory is cheap, and you don't want to miss taking a picture because you are low on memory.

I think we're gunna download some disney podcasts and some comedy for craigs ipod and keep occupied with that! I may pick up a guide book or something for the plane! I def dont think ill be able to contain my exciement at all... we should all feel sorry for poor poor craig!

I will definitly be doing a PTR asap when we are back and maybe a dining review too! it'll help with the post vacation blues.

Do you have an idea of what ADRs you want?! I remember when my trip was still like 140 days away!! it seemed to far but it passes quickly!

I dont have a drink list.. but if u mean drink... as in adult beverage i would be very interested in seeing yours! and i do mean VERY

And u are a very good DISer! haha not pathetic! helpful!!

haha i didnt make it i just bugged him to make one for himself when he was over! actually it didnt take much convincing as he's pretty organized with that kinda stuff and was gunna make one anyways... just maybe not a month before! eheh

I like the door hanger idea, if I find a cheap one i'll pick it up! i like to be organized (must be my OCD) and the phone and charger is on Craigs list but very important!

Thank you! and welcome!!! glad you're enjoying it!

Vacays are def exciting and i hope we do have a great time!! We are planning to do both and are gunna get the two park/one day pass! I did that last time I was there with my bff and we got that express pass also cuz we were there over new years so it was super busy but I think because its august we should be fine with a regular pass!

Thats a great suggestion for the packing list also, I think i'm okay for memory, I have a camera that can take over 1500 pics and Craig has a super duper fancy camera that can take a large amount too! and we have a small video camera! haha o and the photopass preorder! lol i think we will be okay! I mean Im crazy! but not that crazy... well... maybe!


btw im loving all the suggestions and add ins and new friends on my prt!! makes me feel loved! so thank u!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Well ya know I wasn't going to say anything but yeah I'm am too cool now! No really, I'm just really really lazy! But since you have now guilted me into doing it I suppose I shall see if I can add anything. Hmm I definitely second something to keep you entertained on the plane, how about pj's (not sure what you wear at night!), I like to bring a little aloe vera just in case, maybe a little sewing kit with a little pair of scissors for emergencies! Ok I think that's about it!

I KNEW IT!!!!! haha thank you for looking!! I forgot about pjs! definitly need some of those and aloe is very smart too!!
I like the mini sewing kit, maybe the dollar store will have that and i added in safety pins also!

Sounds good. I wasn't sure if you had been to Universal/Islands before, so I was just suggesting some ways to get the most out of your trip! Universal's parks are fantastic. The Mummy Ride is my favorite! Hopefully Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit the new coaster at the Studios will be open for your trip. It looks like a fantastic thrill ride!

Looks like you got the picture part taken care of for sure! Another suggestion that I can possibly offer is something to take with you to do while you are waiting in line. Me and the wife have had a lot of fun with the Hidden Mickey Books http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Mickeys-4th-Secrets-Disneylands/dp/1887140840/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1248320597&sr=8-2 it's cool to take it out and try to find and see all the hidden Mickey's while you are waiting in line or visiting the different lands throughout the park.

thanks so much! it does look pretty crazy, believe it or not im not a big thrill ride seeker, so I would def not be heading on that but Craig would love to try it, we were watching test run videos this weekend! he can go on if its open and tell me how it is!

I like the hidden mickey idea! I may pick one up!

Target has the over the door shoe hangers for 7.00! I was so excited when I found it. After the vacation is over, I am going to replace the one on the back of my door (from my disney vacation last year), I use it to hold random things that i have no room for anywhere else in my room. Most often it becomes a holding spot for "things that don't have a home".

 

[inkedupmomma]

I love packing lists! it always means it is almost time for vacation! I'lllook at my super awesome, super ginormous packing list and see if I have any ideas for you! what you have looks great though!

 

[princess_momma]

I also love packing lists!!! SO fun!! Yours looks great.

Mine looks way different but I don't think its for anything you should add. I've got a cute little baby coming with me!! So lots of differences!! Yours looks great though!!

Thanks for the tip! Keeping it around the house is a good idea too, much better then my "junk drawer"

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary! Are you gonna wear the pins??? You must!
