Ok, be honest....

Who has started packing for Walt Disney World?

 

[MouseDogMom]

I'm pre-packing this weekend. Getting together stuff in one place so I'll be able to find it when I actually start packing!

DD is going crazy waiting for the 10-day forecast to be available so she can choose her clothes.

I usually would be a packing fool by now but I keep worrying about the weather and I am still waffling on which bottoms too wear. skirt? tights? tried and true and ever so comfy even if they make my hips look huge shorts? Actually which smiley face are we currently using for the 'i am a crazed racers panicking over a race' ??? LOL

 

[princessrunner]

My DD calls me anal. I have been packed for a week, preliminarily of course, based on the 10-day. I will adjust as necessary, except my running clothes. I have cold clothes and warm clothes and mix and match for in between clothes and, of course, coming from the really cold, I will have the backup vest and gloves JIC. LOL.

Someone, make me feel like I am not alone....please....

I've been rooting around the garage and basement, I KNOW I have a Mickey Mouse fanny pak! I wanted to start running with it - (with camera and cell phone in it!) I cant find ONE fanny pak!! I have my WISH shirts, and WISH hats - and our marathon packets - what more do we need?!!

Yep, add me to the list!! I'm also digging around looking for throwaway clothes - I think I'm going to take a very old sweat shirt, cut it up the front, and add some kinda ties/buttons - and use this as a throwaway coat? not sure if I want to deal with over the head!!

LUV this board - luv knowing I'm not alone in my packing and planning!!

WISH Shirts - check, shorts/skirts - check, fanny pack - check, camera - check,throw away clothes - check. DS was cleaning out his old stuff so I just took them and have them waiting. Must get the duct tape (good for securing the sides, etc. of the throw away clothes I may need to be cutting so I can get them off easily.

I think that's it! Well, mostly...

 

[EPCOTDUDE]

The suitcase is out of the garage and open. I put things in it as I think of them. I wont be fully packed until I have a forcast since this is my first January trip. DW and DD think I'm nuts but I live for trips to Disney. Im leaving on the 8th. Cant wait. Im glad I am not alone.

The suitcase has been out in one of our spare bedrooms for a week or two already... I've been putting little things in as I think of them. I'll probably just pack mostly capris and t-shirts. I was at WDW in Jnuary of '06 and about froze my booty off... So, this trip I'll be sure to pack a few extra long sleeved running shirts (I love how silky they feel under sweatshirts!) and some hoodies in case it's chilly.

I'll definately pack more lightly than I have in past trips. I've been 4 times in the past two years and every time I pack a little less as I realize that I don't actually NEED to have two of everything for every day.

I do love finding things that I think might be really useful there. The other day I picked up a package of 20 hand warmers... I did it hoping that by being prepared for chilly weather, it will end up being warm while were there!

 

[nucpharm29]

Sheez! I only wish I could be packed by now. Within a 2 month period of time at our house we have 2 birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and our anniversary. I'll be lucky to be packed on the 9th, the night before we leave! Does it count that I was trying to decide on my run today what running attire I will be wearing during the marathon?

 

[cewait]

Jeez guys.... I travel so much that I have a hard time packing until the morning I leave. I do have a box where I keep race stuff so all I need to do is dump it in my carry on.

 

[ultramickeymouse]

I have begun some pre packing. Annual passes, DDE, headphones and some race stuff. Will finalize when I get a better idea of weather for race.

More next weekend

Will get all food for DVC together next week!

As far as food goes.... you a packer or a shipper?

We use a big luggage bag we fill with food that we check and let ME move for us. We fill it on our return with all of our stuff we buy to take home

That's kind of what we do. I have a friend who ships 2-3 large plastic containers to teh resort with all their food stuffs, extra clothing, etc.

I guess technically we are unpacking from WDW right now. However, the suitcases will be left out somewhere and we will start getting things together after Christmas.

[monte]

I'm going to try and pack lite this time too, but plan to take an extra suitcase for souvenirs, since this will be my last time to WDW for quite sometime.

I keep checking on www.weather.com and the Orlando area is reading in the 70's...I'm hoping it drops to the 40's/50's for the marathon.

I can't wait to see you guys!

 

[Scott H]

Here is what we do, we have storage tubs with our WDW/DL/DCL stuff in it so it is all ready to go. Basically it never gets put up LOL. We have several check lists and use the one most appropriate for the upcomming trip.

Also keep an eye on the NOAA weather site as we get closer, and continually check the flight reservations for changes in schedule.

Keep a seperate file folder for each trip,. and in that we keep the important paperwork fr the trip, i.e. flight, car, hotel info etc. as well as DIS meet info, and fopr this one the Shuttle launch info.

Just off the TM and I am kinda starting to tollerate the boredom, wind outside is 25mph plus. Gotta get the dogs out for a walk.

 

[tigger2esq]

I havent started to pack but I have started my list which is huge for me as our last 2 disney trips I was stuffing things in a suitcase the night before we left much to my DH's dismay... LOL

 

[jam217]

I haven't starting packing but I have started my packing list!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one thinking about this!
