Leaving tonight - whats the one thing you always forget to pack?

[ChloeChipper]

We fly out tonight. I think I am all packed, but I keep feeling like I am forgetting something. Whats the one last minute thing that you always forget? Or what do you think many people forget to pack?

I have a pretty organized list, but ... you just never know!

If you've got your phone, credit card, ID, and any needed medications, everything else can be purchased onsite. Don't sweat it and have a great trip!

Deodorant. If this should happen to you and you not realize it until you are at MK, they sell it at the baby center at MK.

I agree with amberpi - but we often forget garbage bags for dirty clothes and travel size suntan lotion for first trip into the parks (before we get our bags from DE)

Sunscreen (overpriced in parks), sharpie and book for autographs if you need them (do not buy the overpriced park ones, crazy expensive, and they dont sell sharpies in park), everyone should have a hat to protect from the sun, sunglasses, and a rain jacket/poncho. Dont get caught without one during a daily florida afternoon storm and end up having to spend $13 per poncho for the whole family. Also, tip not for everyone, if you have young kids in your family, consider picking them up disney giftcards on the way down. These can be used pretty much anywhere on property and they can manage purchasing their own souvenirs/snacks with a limited amount of money and not be bothering you to buy things left and right.

Cash for tipping housekeeping etc..I normally dont travel with cash on me so I have to remember try get some.

I seriously forget a toothbrush. So I started keeping a few new ones in my travel bag at all times. Not something you can't get, but I'm pretty obsessive about my oral hygiene, and quite particular about the toothbrush and toothpaste I use.

I have a good packing list for practical things, but I forget the little things that I bought last trip...the Disney themed bracelet or earrings....or a disney bag...anything you bought last time as a souvenir that will be fun to have this time. Oh and my pressed penny checklist.

Phone chargers. We forgot ours last time and our resort (Contemporary) didn't carry them in the store. We hadn't to wait til morning and go to the business center to buy one.

Short socks in your carry-on. When we flew out of Cleveland last trip it was in the fifties and the hubby was wearing jeans and tube socks. Got to Disney, 80 degrees and he went to change into the shorts we had in our carry-on but realized he'd forgotten to put short socks in and our luggage hadn't arrived yet. We did find out that the POFQ gift shop does sell short socks! Not cheap, but I'll admit they've last several years. One of our better souvenir purchases really.

chapstick.. I always forget chapstick..

 

[Christinecinti]

Tums. Seriously, all the yummy food + the "I'm on vacation so just indulge" mentality= did I pack Tums?

We fly out tonight. I think I am all packed, but I keep feeling like I am forgetting something. Whats the one last minute thing that you always forget? Or what do you think many people forget to pack?

I have a pretty organized list, but ... you just never know!

Chargers. Every time, someone unplugs their phone or Kindle right before we leave, and forget to grab the charger too.

 

[Moxiepup]

Cornstarch baby powder. I like to put it on after I shower, but of course, that means it's one of the last things to get packed as I want to put it on after my shower the day we leave. Luckily, they sell travel sized bottles in the hotel gift shops.

 

[ChloeChipper]

Thanks everyone. We ended up fine - didn't forget anything! In fact, we didn't end up using a lot of the stuff we did bring

 

[Rantybaby]

My jammies, but ALWAYS remember my robe!

Over many trips to many places over many years, the thing I have forgotten the most often is shampoo. I can't count how many times I have packed everything else I needed, including some things for us that DW didn't think of, and never thought to grab a bottle of shampoo.
