Last minute things before we leave

[karebear06]

We leave in 2 days and I know I'm going to forget something or forget to do something. Is there anything that I need to do or bring that most people don't think about? BTW, we are driving.

Oh boy, good question. We leave in 4 days & I am wondering the same thing. I hope you get some good answers. Whatever you do, don't forget your reservation confirmation & other important papers.

If you already have park tickets don't forget them. Have a great trip.

Pack some moleskin just in case! I always pack a couple extra pair of socks too. Have fun!

Don't forget camera, extra memory card, batteries - rechargables are good plus the charger, cell phone plus
phone charger!
Any important phone numbers you may need, insurance cards, don't forget enough meds to last through the trip and a couple days extra just to be safe! One time I forgot my meds and had to get enough filled at a walgreens to last the trip, it went okay but was a bit of a pain as I don't usually use walgreens for prescriptions.
Depending on how you usually pay your monthly bills, pay any that will be due while you are away so you don't realize when you are down there and it's too late to do anything till you get back!
If you have school age kids and they will miss some days, make sure to notify teachers/school and get any work they will need to do while they are out.
Two pair of comfy shoes(not new shoes), jackets in case it gets chilly.
Set your dvr, tivo, vcr in case you have any must watch shows you want to have when you get back.
Papers with resort ressie info, verification of payment, papers verifying a price paid or code used, just in case something is wrong in the computer.
Notify a close neighbor or friend that you will be on vacation and when you expect to be back, maybe they can collect your mail for you, newspapers, etc.
Any special foods you may want or need when at disney that may be hard to get there.

Okay, just some thoughts. I have to think for myself in a few weeks.
Have a safe trip down and an awesome time at Disney!!

Don't forget one of those things you plug in that has more outlets (Just went blank on what they are called) so you will have enough outlets to plug everything in that needs recharging.

If you are driving with kids, have them a goodie bag with lots of new stuff to do on the ride down.

A pretty lengthy list as mouseforless.com... but it is pretty good too... if you want to print it out and make sure you have everything.

I'm going to check that list out. Thanks.

We just got back and DH's legs are covered with bug bites. If we were going again next week (oh the dream!) I would pack bug spray!

Also, I never thought I would need it, but I wish I had packed the direct numbers for the resorts we were staying at - NOT the reservation line, the direct to hotel phone numbers.

General things I was worried we might forget:
- phone charger
- something for downloading pic from camera when card fills (laptop???)
- if laptop, power cord
- if taking ipod, charger. Although, AKL has docking stations in rooms
- print outs of all you confirmations, e-tickets, etc.....

Have a great trip!

When we drive to WDW from Michigan, I make sure every person gets a pillow that can easily be identified as theirs, as well as a beach towel that can double as a blanket.
