Okay,fess up ,when do you start to pack?

Normally the day before. I do all the laundry then pack what we'll need.
I do have a Rubbermaid box in my room that I put disposable camera's, baggies etc,. for the trip as I buy them!

We don't leave for our next trip until May 2007, and I've already started collecting items for the trip (spray fans, glow sticks, ponchos, etc) and my packing list is pretty well done . I've also pulled out the summer clothes I plan to take along on the trip so I can put them in a separate box (before I pack my summer clothes away) in case it hasn't warmed up here at home enough to pull the summer stuff out yet. I will admit I'm a *little* bit of a pre-planner (to say the least)!

I started in March for our trip in October. LOL

I start buying things we won't need until then like ponchos, swim masks, new swimsuits for the kids, new pajamas for the kids, travel toiletries... stuff like that. We're about 33 days out now and I have everything packed except mine and my husbands clothing. The girls are all packed and ready to go!
I'm just a wee bit excited.

You think that's bad? We don't have a trip planned for ANY time in the near future (our plans for this year got messed up), and yet I've mentally planned out a suitcase for all of us. I remember when I was a kid, as soon as I found out when we were going (usually 8 months in advance) my sister and I would have midnight consultations on what we were going to wear. Ah, I'm pathetic, I know.

We're taking 10 hs seniors in March. Next weekend we do the 'big switch' common only to NEasterners...put all the summer clothes away (except 1 pair shorts and 4 t-shirts for those blessedly 'hot' days of 55 in April) and get out the wool for winter. So I will pack DD and DS 4 outfits of summer clothes in ziplocks, and put aside for March. Luggage space will be tight, so they're wearing jeans/sweats and sweatshirt for cooler days/nights. We'll wash before we come home. And they have enough underwear and socks that I can just finish them out. I can do that for me, but DH coaches wrestling ALL winter, so he'll need his shorts. But I bet I can sneak away a pair or two.

I LOVE to pack for WDW!!!
And I just bought 600 glow sticks for Halloween and our trip on ebay. and I've got a box for special Disney stuff already going.

I'm a wee bit excited, can you tell? We weren't supposed to go until 8-08, but we are in MARCH!!
