Leaving soon - Tips needed!

[cats7494]

Hi,
We are leaving for Disney in about 2 weeks and I am wondering if there is a "TO DO" list somewhere of things I need to prepare or get done before we go.
This is our first time and I don't want to forget or miss anything!

thanks for your advice!

Oh I have seen this some where....just don't remember which forum. Have you done a search to find the list? Don't forget your camera, park tickets/copies!! and we always take ponchos (use for rain or the very wet rides!), sunscreen, bug repellant, walkie talkies or phone if you're going to use them.
These are the things that I can think of that I wouldn't do w/o; of course, we take alot more having 3 kids along.

When I go to Disney World I type up a simple itinerary for everyone. I put priority seating reservation numbers and times for dinner on it, flight times, hotel phone numbers, cell phone numbers, and anything else I can think of. This helps keep everyone on the same schedule. Also, if someone should get lost from the group, they know to meet everyone at the resturant that's on the Itinerary. Also you may want to bring some snacks and plenty of bottled water. Water often costs $2.50 per bottle at Disney World. Some use a Britta Water Purifier and just use the water there. Myself I prefer to bring some. Hope this helps!

On the Touring Plans site (home of the UG to WDW), there is a Trip Planner:

You have to register and the planner is very thorough, but it may help.

Enjoy your trip!

I bought The Passporter for WDW in the travel section of my bookstore. It was the best money I ever spent. The tips and info included in it are fantastic and the book is lightweight enough to carry with you at all times. We followed the touring plan included in the book and rode everything in MK with little waiting time.

My tip: I tore out the fold out maps from The Passporter and had them laminated. They are the perfect size to carry with you and have the touring plan and ride lists right on the back.

search on here for the Ultimate Packing List. For some reason I can't copy the file right now...I could cut/paste but it's veeeery long.

Motion sickness pills, aleve, decongestants, rolaids, and immodium ad are a necessity when I pack. I wont necessarrilly get an upset stomach or a gut wrenching headache on vacation, but I I do, I DONT want to have to go on a d**n scavenger hunt to find what I need. Oh~ If anyone's lactose intollerant in your fam, bring plenty of lactic acid. It seems like on vacations, I crave dairy at EVERY meal & snack

Always remember this, if you forget something, don't fret. WDW isn't a foreign country. Anything you need you will be able to get down there. You may have to pay through the nose unless you have transportation off-site but at least you will be able to get what you need.
