Ok--i'm Planning A Trip This June As Well So I Pulled Out My Own Battle Plan Packing List To Compare To Yours. Here's What I Had That I Didn't See On Yours:

Laundry Detergent In Little Baggies & Quarters If You Plan On Doing A Load Of Laundry At The Resort Before You Pack Up To Come Home. Also Will Need Quarters For The Penny Press Machines. I Think It Actually Costs 51 Cents Each Time To Press Pennies.
Small Net Laundry Bag To Keep Track Of Dirty Clothes & To Carry To Laundry Facility, Paper Bowls For Cereal & Soups, Addresses & Stamps For Postcards If You Plan On Sending Some Home To Your Friends, And Gum--they Do Not Sell This Anywhere On Disney Property.
Hope This Helps.
 

I was just gonna say if you are going in june Perfume might attract more bees and insects!!!

I just bought some individually packaged Tide at Target in the $1 aisle. The packaging is very small so I picked up 4 for our trip.
 
Looks good!

If you have a digital camera bring extra memory cards and batteries. Nothing worse than filling up your memory card while in a park and having to go back and delete some to add more. And yes, you can copy 200 pix to a Kodak CD while in the park, but it's just too expensive (to me)

Oh, and I didn't see blister band-aids, or moleskin. I would bring these if you are wearing tennies. Also, waterproof bandages. I like Nexcare. Though you can get those, along with many other things, in first aid at the parks.

You have bug repellant, and aloe for burns but if your family is prone to bug bites, bring along one of those bite ointments. We haven't had too many problems with bites while at WDW, but just in case.

Have fun!
 
I thought of a few more-

Plug in night light-if someone gets up during the night they won't bump into things.

Room Spray-you know why! :rotfl2: Or a candle to light if you don't have small ones and remember to blow it out. Only light it in the bathroom-no carpet
Also, along those same lines, I bring one of the plug in room scents (my current favs are B&BW Wallflowers.) It just makes the room smell good.

Oh, and that reminds me-plug space is at a premium in the room. I move out the entertainment center enough to plug in a mutli-plug surge protector. This give you plenty of plugs to plug in all your rechargeables. This is one of the best tips I read years ago.

Food wise-those Crystal Light (or others) flavor tubes for water.
I see wine stopper-so don't forget corkscrew unless you're drinking screw top.
For us, pop tarts and bagels. Quick breakfast before heading out. Along those lines. A toaster. A Cheap one is fine. (ADDED-I see you have pop-tarts!)

Are you driving, flying, renting a car?
 
Wow I think that is a packing list...I need to do one too, I think I will just print yours :laughing: . So how much luggage does that come out to? When I pack I feel like I am packing everything in sight, but you never know what you need especialy with kids.

Thanks for sharing
 
Great packing list. I did not see zip-lock bags, but I am sure I missed it because it looks like you have everything else I could think of. We always bring multiple sizes because they can be good for everything from bringing home leftovers, carrying snacks to the park, keeping things dry in the pack, or keeping wet stuff separated from everything else. Thanks for posting the list!
 
I am pretty sure I pack at least all that and more, but seeing it all typed out like that makes my blood pressure go up!:rotfl:
 
Oh I know,you never realize how much you actually have to take until you put it all in a list. When I first typed that out, everyone thought I was crazy. But I'm not-you need everything. Let's see-2 suitcases a piece, and then 1 carry-on a piece. Hmmm....12 pieces of luggage.
 
That is alot................

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now granted I'm a male but between my wife and I, we take about half. Our motto is one rolling bag per and one small carryon. You pack it, you bring it, you tote it. We've found out through our 40 trips, less is needed and no sense hauling items that don't get used. We also don't do laundry and our stays are of the 10-12 varieties, and we still don't take as much as you have. How you tried packing all that stuff? How many bags is it and the weight? Not to spoil your planning but I'd try cutting down just for hauling ease, I didn't read every item but the list is extensive. We both have our packing lists and go over each others so as not to duplicate items that can be shared and as I stated the less you can get by on the happier you'll be.

wow i agree that's alot also i hear the airlines are charging extra for every bag you check...anyone know about this????:confused:
 
Yes, starting this month sometime, a few major airlines will start charging anywhere b/t $10-$25 per second checked bag and as high as $100 for a
third. I've also read that if your bag is over 50 lbs be prepared to pay up to
$100 dollars as well. If you are flying just google your airline, check their main
page and I'm sure they'll have the new info available. Good luck....I'm driving. :)
 
Seeing the extra charge for more then one bag, guests are going to overload their sole bag and be over-weight. I guess it's coming down to adding one of them travel scales or a pocket fish scale to do your weighing while packing before getting to your travel departure area instead of being surprised at check in and having to rethink and repack your gear. This could be especially true leaving WDW, with the added souvenirs and what not you bought, maybe buying another small bag at WDW to keep your stuff under 50 pounds or pre-packing a collapsible bag just for that reason. There again, if you've bought alot and repacking isn't going to work and you scale says you have too much, it might be better knowing at the resort by weighing your bags and just shipping your purchases home. Just my thought.

Just to include, our last 2 trip, we used Amtrak and get off and board in Kissimmee, they weighed our bags, thats checked bags, and the limit is 50 pounds, we've been real close going home and have seen others have to pull stuff out of their luggage and put into cardboard boxes to meet the 50# limit, tough to do at the train station in a hurry. Heavens knows, going home you just cram everything in, its dirty anyway, but groping in a bag to pull items to make it lighter isn't pleasant going home, hence the handy dandy travel scale, guess they are around 20 bucks and quite small, good investment.
