Packing!!!

[smile4stamps]

I leave today for my first trip to Disneyland!

I feel like I am forgetting to pack a lot of things though! Any suggestions or things you wish you had brought along?!?!

Main things I have packed:
Clothes
Umbrella's (just in case)
park bag
bottled water
cereal, almond milk (lactose intolerant), crackers, granola bars
camera
sunblock

what's missing?!?!

 

[Shimmer]

Chargers for your phone & camera.
Ponchos from the dollar store for GRR.
Sweatshirts & light jackets.
Small bag for the park.

 

[noga]

sunglasses
hat
jacket (for cold evenings)
tickets
hand sanitizer
wipes (the last two I always bring because I find use for them numerous times)

 

[I'm mikey]

tooth brush
tooth paste
hair brush
any medications if needed

 

[tlovesdis]

tickets
cash/debit/credit cards
chapstick
hand sanitizer

 

[goldies 5]

Lysol for everything in your room.

I bring a second wallet. I put in it my Drivers License, debit card, Room key/KTTY, small amout of cash ;for tips and snacks. My regular wallet with all the other credit cards and other stuff goes into the room safe.

I'm leaving tonight, too! Though I'm a local, so it's definitely not my first time. Only thought was batteries, if you need for camera. Oh, and if your hotel is close enough to walk to the park, I always bring a pair of sandals to change out of my sneakers. The difference is so refreshing changing halfway through the day.

Also, don't bother carrying in your umbrellas in the Parks unless the forecast predicts rain. Shouldn't rain at all, actually, and umbrellas are a huge pain to carry around.

small cooler/bag for road trip snacks/drinks. We always bring extra water and motrin. The best sore foot remidy I've discovered is a couple motrin, and adult beverage and a soak in the hotel hot tube, even if it's just the feet. 30 minutes later my feet feel like I can dance all night in 4 inch heels, or many more hours at the parks.

To save space in the car/suitecase, you can always pick up some goods at the local grocery store or Target.

 

[WonkaKid]

Woo hoo! I leave tonight too. We'll be at the park for three full days -- the longest I've ever stayed at DL (I've only done two-day trips in the past). Very much looking forward to it. The last time I was there in Feb., ROA was closed. It just wasn't the same. Also, when I visited DL Paris about three weeks ago, Phantom Manor (their Haunted Mansion) was closed. So I'm excited to see that all of my favs will be open on this trip. And Saturday means 17 hours in the park (including MM hours -- not sure if we'll use the extra hour tomorrow or Saturday).

Excited!

We carry refillable bottles (like Klean Kanteens) and refill them at the park--wherever fountain drinks are served you can refill your bottles.

If you're planning on reserving a spot for fireworks, you might want a blanket. (Not sure, we haven't done this.)

Advil! So many strangers in Disneyland asked me if I had Advil (or Tylenol or whatever random medication) when they saw me with my children's first aid bag getting out their medications.

 

[BELLEDOZER]

Spare batteries for your camera, and rain ponchos are a must. I would rather pack rain ponchos than an umbrella, as they take up too much room. I would also advise the Advil too, as it's good to have on hand.

 

[DizMe]

I agree about the ponchos! They come in handy for rain or wet rides and you can just toss them out when you're done for the day (the dollar store ones, anyway).

I also like to bring along some ziploc bags. I use them for all kinds of things, from leftovers to holding things like lotions and wet swim suits.

I usually pack very little because I only bring carry-on and have learned that I don't need that much stuff, but then I am usually one there for a few days at a time.
