Leaving for my very first Disney trip on Saturday!

[gethane]

Hello everyone, I've been lurking here on and off for about a year and a half while I've been planning my family's very first, and probably only, Disney trip. We're staying at CBR. My hubbie, my three kids, my mother, and my inlaws.

If you would all be so kind, could you each give me 1-5 things that you wished you had packed/did pack and were very glad about?

hello

congrats on your first trip- you will love it-

1. zip lock bags, (come in handy to put snacks for parks and store ice to keep drinks in room cold)

2. Feminine Hygiene products (just in case, very expensive at resorts)

3. Little toys for the kids (they sometimes get bored in the rooms)

4. A change of clothes to carry with you to parks for little ones (just in case of accidents)

5. Rain coats (hopefully you won't need but can purchase ahead at dollar store)

wishing you good weather, short lines and lots of disney magic

lisa

Over the years, DH & I have had a few unexpected needs, and as mentioned, everything is SOOOO expensive in the resort shops.

Bring a few doses of each of the following:

Pepto Bismol (tablets are handy)
Immodium AD
Benedryl or external itch cream
Allergy or cough and cold pills
Tylenol or Advil or regular old Aspirin

And/or any other item you may occasionally need like Preperation H, Athlete's foot creme, anti-itch stuff, etc.

We usually find that if we have it, we don't need it, and that's even better!

Have a great time!!!

 

[Muffy]

Oh yes, hats and gloves!

1. baby wipes
2. extra contact solution
3. water bottle
4. Shout wipes (for who-knows-what and you're headed to dinner at a nice place, lol)
5. lightweight blanket for the stroller and a loghtweight jacket/sweater for you, just in case
