OK ya'll....I am BAAACCCKK!!!! I'm glad John started a thread for ya'll so you could amuse yourselves at my expense while I was gone!
I did not take time to get online all weekend (we had weather delays going down on Fri. so got no park time that night) and then ran commando for the 3 remaining days to get everything in that DS wanted to do...throw in a morning EMH and an evening EMH and we only got about 4 hours of sleep each night!!
Yeah. 
We're BEAT!
OK, but so YES, I DID LOVE my brand new Owners Locker (as WE all knew I would) but ummmm (cough cough) WHAT cooler bag??
DH is cool with having ONE locker but I would not say that he's IN LOVE with it like I am. Let's give him time!
He DID love that we could go straight to security when we got to the airport and that we didn't have to stand around at baggage claim when we got home!
We each had 1 carry-on and they were STUFFFFFED full....esp. on the way home. Had to keep saying "NO! We can't buy that we don't have room to get it home!!"
I pretty much was just able to transfer stuff from my "Disney box" that I shipped down straight to the OL "as is". We had 3 bottles of water left over from our case of water and I was hoping to pop them in too but could only fit ONE!! I gave the remaining 2 to the bell service guy who came to get us for DME this morning. I only shipped down one 16 oz plastic bottle of my dear friend, Captain Morgan, for this trip and was hoping to upgrade to a fifth when we go in August but that might be pushing it. 
We did not use much of the consumable items so I don't have a lot of updates to make on my inventory list...some of the paper plates...I marked the sunscreens we used this time with a sharpie so we don't end up with dribs & drabs of 1/2 used containers (I'd prefer to finish one before moving on to the next). I used my ice cube tray but they didn't want to pop out very easily so I might look for a different one to take instead.
I hope we got the lid put on it right...I thought it should be tighter. Could it be possible we didn't seal it up right?? Is that possible??? They've never dropped & spilled have they??? Anyone???
BTW, I also LOVED my new packing cubes and will probably order some more sets!! For a full week or 10 days I think we will also have to check at least one large duffle but I really liked the organization they gave me. Basically, it only took me 5 min. to unpack them the other night & set them into the drawers / shelves. For our return, rather than spending time rolling the stuff back up I used 3 of the "medium" size space bags for our dirty laundry. It all fit in those + 1 of the "large" cubes!! We did still have a few items not worn (mostly 'cuz of erratic weather while we were there) so I overpacked just only slightly.
It was our first time staying at SSR and I think all in all the trip was one of our BEST EVER and yes, Owners Locker passed the Annie test!! I can't wait to see it again when we go in August...and manage to have a successful return at the car rental place at MCO!!
(PS) John - the bell service guys at SSR like it when you bring them cookies!

Free Captain!! 
I doubt TWICE as much...after all, my box DOES still weigh 44 /45 Lbs and my inventory list is 3 full pages long with over 125 items...but anyway, i am just WAY TOO ANAL to just throw it all in there loose...i would hate it if i didn't have stuff organized somehow by toiletries / kitchen items / my stuff / his stuff / otc meds etc... a lot of stuff IS loose tho, like our flip flops & umbrellas & ponchos....but i couldn't just throw loose bandaids, sharp knives & scissors, coffee filters & random pill bottles in there.
The packing & unpacking would take me longer too. i just keep picturing DS's old toy box when he was looking for something and it was on the bottom so EVERYTHING had to come out to find it! this way i can leave stuff in the box if i don't need it so it's not cluttering up the villa. but it's OK tho if you're good with it all loose - go for it!!
