Packing List-The thing you forgot...

[4theloveofdisney]

Forgot these things but not all in the same trip - lol!

Socks, DS's undies, bathing suits, Dh's belts, sunscreen, kids pajamas, and our credit card for emergencies (which I don't usually carry).

 

[Skroops]

lets see...

Rain ponchos, gloves, extra batteries, memory cards, film, battery chargers,
Flight information, ADR confirmation numbers, hotel reservation #'s, extra shoes, bathing suit, pin lanyards, autograph books, penny press books, sun glasses, fannypacks/backpacks, mickey hats/ears from last trip, light up toys so you dont have to buy them again or pay triple,

.. I will still think of things we've forgotten....

Awesome list, I'd also add sunscreen because that is silly expensive (along with film/cameras) at WDW!

 

[KPeterso]

The worst thing I forgot and needed was benadryl. I ended up breaking out in heat rash and paid a ton for it at the resort. So now, I always have both the pill form and topical to stop the itching. The other thing I forgot a different trip was the cell phone charger. Was not a good thing either.

I've been to WDW a few times. Actually I just kept a running list from this website on stuff people had on their packing lists. I personally don't bring all this stuff, but I'm sure some people do!
