Owner's locker

[Missyrose]

We have lots of things in our Owner's Locker (which is easily the best decision we made, after buying our DVC). It's mainly stuff we only need at Disney and things we don't want to schlep back and forth each time:

Full size toiletries
Sunscreen (full sized spray)
Bug spray
My makeup
Q-tips
Bandaids
Advil/Aleve
Brita water pitcher
Ziploc bags (3 sizes)
Kitchen scissors
Extra flip flops for both of us
Chargers for phones, iPads, cameras
Surge protector
Ponchos
Beach Towels
Beach bag
Hand sanitizer
Hidden Mickey book
Imagineer's guide to each park

It holds all those little things you keep buying then possibly discarding. Or it letsyou buy bigger things. So, for me, coffee filters for the DVC coffeemakers. I could keep buying 100 packs for too-much at the store at my resort, and never use them all and try to remember to bring them home and back (we don't have a coffeemaker that uses the same filters) or I can buy one big pack and leave it in there. Coffee filters aren't going to make up the cost of the service, but if you have enough things you pack and repack and forget etc, it starts adding up, especially in convenience.

We have little handheld fans in there (with the batteries removed of course) we have all our old MBs. Laundry detergent. Some will-last-forever condiment type things, sealed in double ziptop bags of course! Between one trip and the next I left my shorts, because it was winter here and I wouldn't need them and didn't feel like bringing them back home then back to FL. An Igloo cooler backpack, aloe vera, hydrogen peroxide (again double sealed), other first aid stuff... other stuff, too. We don't maximize what we have in there, but others most definitely do. For us it's more about convenience. Because of DH's work travel we generally have status that allows us a couple free bags each, so for us it's not to cut down on cost, but it's to increase the ease.

Well said! Bumbershoot what brand/type are the coffee filters and where do you buy them at home? As I recall, they aren't "filters" so much as they are little packets of sealed coffee grounds that go in the machine. Am I remembering that right?
