Is there anything bought or took with you that you have regrets about???

Is there anything out there that you just KNEW you HAD to take on a trip to WDW and once you spent money on it and used it a short while you realized it was a BIG mistake??


I guess for me it would be too many snacks or sodas for the hotel. We always take them but rarely eat them (or drink them)

the thing I most regret bringing on my last trip was my mother in law!

Our last trip we bought snacks for the hotel that we didn't finish too. This trip my DS16 and his friend are going so I know we won't have leftover food. The one thing I wished I had brought and didn't was my DS3's potty seat, you know the little seat that fits on the big potty. I thought I could get away without taking it but after about 3 or 4 days of no "#2" I ended up going out to Wal-mart to buy one. It worked like a charm. I guess he wasn't ready to give it up.

On my last trip my DS just turned 3yo and I packed some toys to play with in the hotel room. What a mistake! Not only did we spend very little time in the room, but we ended up buying little things in the parks and around town that he was much more interested in playing with! When we were in the room, he just wanted to be out on the balcony and watch the world go by!!!

Next trip in 6 days!!! Taking DH, DS (now 5yo) and DD (2yo). The only toys I plan on bringing are a few things to keep them amused in the car for the long trip down from New York!!

I would have to agree with the snacks. We did a grocery stop and bought way too many snacks. We wanted the snacks from the parks more.

I won't do the snack and breakfast food thing again. That was a huge waste of money.

Who wants to eat Lays chips, or sugar corn pops cereal when you can have a beavertail, or Mickey waffles?

From now on I'll just pack enough snacks for the flight.

I'm not willing to miss out on all the great snacks and food that Disney has in order to save a few bucks.

FRS radios. They were too heavy. The batteries were a nuisance. We now budget for the roam fees and use our cell phones. Cell phones are more reliable, too.
