I know it's waaay to early to even be thinking about packing, but I need something else to focus on while we all wait for '07 rates to come out.
Anyway, we're planning probably 10-12 days at WDW followed by 7 night Disney cruise. For those of you who have done an extended vacation like this, how did you go about packing?
Our last trip was about 3 weeks in Florida, 9 days WDW, 3 days US/IOA and a few days in Miami. It was a definite challenge packing for the five of us. We had a total of 5 large luggage large bags with an additional 5 carry ons. It wasn't too bad because we wore shorts every day, so those pack up easily. My clothes were easily compressed in large ziplock bags since tops were spaghetti strap, tank-type tops, 3 or 4 cute summer dresses, 1 dressier halter dress with matching pair of dressy sandals, 3 casual pairs of sandals, pair of tennies, etc.
Next trip we'll also need to include a suit for each one of my boys (3), Docker-type pants, plus dress shoes and formal attire for 1 night for myself. Fortunately we'll be renting tuxes that we don't have to pack.
So any advice?
