Last minute crazy questions

[kajohn]

For those of you traveling from the north, what do you do with your winter coats? Do you bring another suitcase to put them in, or do you carry them on board? I just can't imagine being in hopefully upper 60's to 70's weather and carrying winter coats.

I thought of leaving them in the car at the airport, but it is suposed to be about 10 degrees on Friday when we leave. I would hate for my little ones to get sick before they go on the ship!

Also, if I bring a car seat for my youngest, can I check that with a porter so I don't have to lug it through the ship?

And last but not least, where is the best place to buy sunscreen and sand toys on the way to the ship? I saw on Dave's site there is a Target along the way. Does anyone know if there is a WalMart as well, (usually cheaper sand toys there).

Thanks for all the help I've received off these boards! I can't believe after a year of planning, it's almost there!!!!!

Hi Kajohn

Here's a link to the closest Wal_mart to the port but I believe the Target will be closer.

hi KAJOHN

Have a great trip...

In terms of coats, when we left Boston on Christmas Day, my husband dropped myself and my daughter off at the terminal with most of the luggage, then he went and parked the car (so we left our coats in the car). I had my daughter wear a shirt, then had a sweater over her for inside the airport, plus i always get chilly on the plane..

Just a thought....

Maybe you store your winter coats in an airport locker if they still have them around since 9/11

Here's what we did. I bought at BabieRUs a car seat cover. It's made of a HEAVY nylon, kind of like a duffle bag material. I then placed my son's car seat in it for easier carrying to/from the gate,you wear it like a backpack. The bag was big enough to fit the car seat and our coats so, it worked out GREAT!!! The bag cost me $20, and is money well spent!!! We'll be doing the same thing when we go to WDW next week!! Also, we were able to check the bag with the car seat and our coats at the port and it was delivered to our stateroom!!! We used Disney Transfers, and as long as it had a tag on it, it was delivered.
