My clothes weigh too much...

[CTFamilyCruisers]

We're leaving in 3 days - we're bringing 4 suitcases and a garment bag for me, DH and 2 kids. I may be overpacking - but I don't want to do laundry and I want to be able to change and pick what I want to wear based on my mood. I decided not to stress about squeezing things into fewer suitcases - they should fit in each other and be able to go under the bed. Also, I don't have each one stuffed to the gills - it not only keeps the clothes from getting wrinkled, but it keeps the weight under control and leaves room for souvenirs! (I also have a large LL Bean Duffle bag packed in one of them for the return trip home.)

My other tip - and this one I was glad I did last year - I don't pack all of one person's stuff in a single suitcase. I mix it up so everyone has something of everything in each suitcase - last year one of our bags took a detour and I was so happy to have clothes packed away in another bag!

If you see my family wear the same outfit more than once
I have 2 suitcases and 2 rolling duffles for the 4 of us plus each has a backpack.

I won't. That's twice the baggage we took for 4. Yes we did laundry, twice on a 7 day. Only thing we had Disney clean was my son't tie after he spilled dinner on it!!!

... Only thing we had Disney clean was my son't tie ...

"son't tie",

hum ... "snot tie" (let's see, he didn't blow his nose on his tie did he No, I didn't think so - but that is a good use for a tie! )

hum ... "not tie" - well you have to tie "knot" in the tie to wear it, but then why did it have to be cleaned and if it's "not a tie" then what is it?

hum ... "son's tie" that's it. Been there, done that!!
