Our 1st Trip, Please help me pack!!!

[MargoBoo]

Hello everyone! Our 1st Family trip will be over Thanksgiving Holidays. I have the clothes already figured out, it is the small things I am not so sure about. Please list any must haves that you all take with you.

I also am thinking I need to make some sort of autograph **** for my DS. Please help! I have seen even letters for mousekeeping, dining plan trackers, etc... Are those thing I will be wishing I had??

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Margo

You should be fine. If you do not want to make an autograph book you can buy one. You do need a FAT pin---these are easier for the characters to hold. If you can;t find one they also sell these there. Make sure you have quarters and pennies for the pressed penny machine. Also, make sure that you have some coats and cold weather stuff. Last year when we went for TG is was very windy and cold. Do you have ponchos? Do you have a lilst hany of all your ADR's. The confirmation numbers are important if they do not have your reservation. Take plenty of film and batteries--these are a small fortune there.

Something we did when the older two were younger is we bought them their own disposable camera and let them take some pictures of their own. They each loved this--they even put their pictures in their scrapbooks.

Thanks so much for the advise. I will be watching the weather before we go for sure.

Well, I have a thread for times like this called "Don't Forget to Pack...":

It's a list of things that you might not think to bring, but you might be surprised to see come in handy

Always remember to have empty water bottles that you can fill up at any water fountain in the park. I also hate drinking water, so I had Kool-Aid packets for the bottles of water (those need 2 per regular-sized bottle). If it wouldn't have been for that, I wouldn't have drank any water. You can also get Crystal Light packets for your bottles.

Remember to bring a jacket for early morning and night visits to the parks just in case it's chilly. We forgot jackets 1 night and ended up spending $20 per Disney beach towel at Epcot for my little cousins to keep warm.
