Must have item(s) when packing!

[kaa1187]

Hey all! Pre-planning for our Disney trip in September (never to early to start ) I have skimmed through similar threads and have gotten some good suggestions. What are your must-have items that you pack for your Disney vacation!? Any suggestions are appreciated

Power strip for electronics

Musts were... Extra hangers for the hotel. A small first aid kit with band aids and neosporin. If you are going to use DME bring a change of clothes in yr carry on so u can change if u have yr room before the luggage gets there. I brought a box of cereal and ziplock bags to give a quick snack for the kids. Buy disney shirts somewhere else. I bought one for everyday of the week at the disney outlet for like $4-5 each.

Epsom Salt - to soak our feet at night. It really helps.

Container of pennies and quarters - for the pressed pennies.

Ziplock bags for phones on water rides.

One of my favorites is an over the door shoe hanger w/see through pockets. it is great for all of the small stuff that usually has to be put on the counter. we used it for meds, tooth brushes/paste, hair things, make up...the list is endless. It really freed up the counter space!

Moleskin for blisters, sunscreen, basic first aid kit with bandaids, cortizone ointment and neosporin, less shoes, clothes etc than I think I'll need (we usually do one load of laundry while we are there).

Extra hangers for the hotel.

FYI, you can call Mousekeeping and request extra hangers any time! They'll bring as many as you need. No need to pack them!

Air freshener for the bathroom.

Yes to all above! Lol

Over door show hanger was great.... We have a teenage daughter so this kept toiletries in order as well as kept sunscreen etc in place so everyone could find it!

I brought suction cup hooks.... Extra hanging space in shower for bathing suits and a place for the washcloth.

Suction cup toothbrush holder! I used one from the dollar store meant for the kitchen sink to hold sponges. It had room for toothpaste and all our brushes.... And I threw it out when we were done... It was a dollar well spent!

I had a collapsible box to collect magic bands, pin lanyards, wallets and sunglasses etc on the dresser.... Everyone know where their stuff was.

Pop up laundry hamper.... We used this for shoes. To collect dirty clothes we used a suitcase left unzipped at the top. On the day I planned laundry I wheeled it to the laundry room and put folded clothes back in. I also brought some post it notes. Put on on the washer or dryer with our last name room number and time started while I was using it. Keeps people from thinking I am taking a washer up all day when the cycle may have just finished.

Hanging shelf for closet--dollar store!. We used this for hats, next day outfits etc.

Lots of zip bags. Lots.

Toilet bowl deodorizer..... Called "Just a Drop" Comes in a tiny bottle. One drop in the bowl before someone goes #2 and there is practically no odour. All of us sharing 1 room and bathroom.... This was the best thing ever!

A power strip/bar for charging camera batteries, phones, iPads etc. this kept everything in one spot..... No bits of electronics scattered around the room.

Laundry pods and dryer sheets. I did 2 loads of laundry halfway through. Also brought small travel bottle filled with laundry liquid to do emergency washing in sink/tub. Dryer sheets are nice to stuff in shoes that might be starting to ripen... Lol

Paper towels that I had squirted with dish soap and let dry at home. Put a stack in a zip bag. These came in very handy for washing everything from the refillable mugs, souvenir cups and things the kids bought to sunglasses and glasses that had sunscreen overspray.

A half empty suitcase.....even though I had pre purchased shirts over the previous year etc. it does not take long or much to take up extra space with treasures to take home!

I bring the hangers from my dry cleaning and leave them when we check out. There are never enough in the room.

Eye glass repair kit, laundry pods, my own mugs, sugar, tea bags, coffee. Power strip, sewing repair kit, zip loc bags. I also bring the disposable coffee cups. We don't really like carrying the mugs all day at the parks so this works great for us.

Are you allowed to bring the disposable coffee cups with you on the bus?

Yes you are - we do it all the time.

extra bg meter in back pack plus some peanut butter crackers

 

[aladdinsheart]

Hair ties and comfortable shoes I would think!

Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, night light, zip lock bag with extra plastic forks, spoons, and straws. The power strip was essential for us and also an extension cord. Small flashlight, safety pins, first aid kit, and an assortment of medicine, you never know what you might need and won't be able to find.

 

[aladdinsheart]

Hand sanitizer! Yes that's an awesome one!

 

[Jessica14]

Totally agree with ziplock bags in various sizes! I read the tip here and no don't go on any trip without them. I also brought my own laundry detergent which came in handy. Something else I read here a few years ago was cut up dry sponges with a bit of dish soap on them. They came in handy.

Love the idea of the popup hamper! I usually just use a large shopping bag for dirty clothes.

Good hand and body lotion. It sounds silly, but does anyone else's skin and hands feel drier on vacation?
