Packing List

[ascardino]

We leave in two weeks, I can hardly wait but I am starting to think that I might forget something important. I know from previous trips and reading the boards that a "packing list" must be posted but I just haven't come across one.

If anyone has one that they can post I would appreciate it. I am starting to get nervous that I might forget something. Or that there is something additional that I should take care of NOW! and not two weeks from now.

I have the MVMCP tix, the car rental ressie, the print outs of my e-tix, the grocer order prepared to submit for Garden Grocer for delivery, my ADRs, etc

Thanks in advance....

I remember seeing it too, but I can't recall where the packing list is. I am going to send you over to Theme Park Strategies, I'm sure someone will point you in the right direction.
Ohmari

When you find out, let us know in a Trip Report, we hope to hear how your trip went.

[Metallicat]

maybe a small extension cord so you will have enough plugs for cell phone and any other stuff you may need an extra outlet for.

 

[3daughters]

Boy, looks like some of you have lists that never end! I can' t imagine taking all that -- I'd need a trailer to lug it all! How about if you just want to bring a minimal amount? What are the top 10 items to not forget other than the typical, clothing & toiletries?

I want to keep baggage down to about 1 small bag per person!

Does anyone know, is it easy to get a blow dryer at POP during off-peak stays?
Are they any good or are they the kind that burn your hair and scream!

Where are you going??? It's WDW - not the Congo.

OMG....you really bring all that stuff???

Not poking fun....I am just shocked

 

[goofie4goofy]

Boy, looks like some of you have lists that never end! I can' t imagine taking all that -- I'd need a trailer to lug it all! How about if you just want to bring a minimal amount? What are the top 10 items to not forget other than the typical, clothing & toiletries?

I want to keep baggage down to about 1 small bag per person!

Does anyone know, is it easy to get a blow dryer at POP during off-peak stays?
Are they any good or are they the kind that burn your hair and scream!

I don't know about POP, but the only hair dryers I have seen are the wall mounted kind that are totally useless (at the GF). One thing I always bring is my blowdryer Even if a hotel supplies one, I know what mine will do.

The only thing I bring to WDW is less Drowsey Dramamine as without it I could not ride anything.

Other than the obivious: comfy shoes, toiletries and the usual, I cannot think of anything UN typical. WDW is the easiest place to travel to. I have never needed anything out of the ordinary when there. We have been too many times to count and never needed anything other than what we wanted to buy ie: hats, T-shirts and that kind of stuff.

Also if you want to make your life easier since you are packing light, you might want to consider Fed Ex -ing your luggage. We started doing this and it had made traveling so much easier. Since so many more bags are being checked, it is just horrendus at baggage claim, so many bags are lost or very late. I have 2 bags and packed they weigh 40 lbs and it costs $20 per bag.... yours may cost less. Fed Ex makes special luggage ship tags so your luggage is shipped as is. It is so niceto have your luggage shipped and waiting for you at the hotel. Going to the airport is a breeze..we print our boarding passes and go directly to security.

Holy carp (typo intended), Big V! I still have 168 days left until my next trip, but I'm printing that out tonight!

Thanks for such a great packing compilation!

Why duct tape?

I've also read that it's excellent for cutting down on friction from your shoes so you are supposed to put some on your feet. I've read how to do it but can't remember at the moment.
AWESOME list!

Here is that super massive one I saw a while back.
