I have this Picnic Time wine/cheese tote which I love!
They are a little pricey but when on sale, grab them! I bough mine for 50%off at a sample sale. They are great quality and look like their products are sturdy and last a long time. I have bought a few cheap coolers before and they oftentimes have leaked or just did't hold up. Either way, your choices look great!

However, the things I like to do more than once;
Must do rides in MK?... Well, we try and do everything...so it is all a must do.
Pirates
Thunder Mountain
Haunted Mansion
My youngest likes to do these rides multiple times
Tea Cups
Magic Carpet
Carousel
As far as the QS.. well... Cosmic Rays has a HUGE menu and it is easy to find something that each person may want. Problem is, they are a busy location and so lots and lots of people can make dinning a less than fun experience. I like Pecos Bills (burgers) or Golden Oak Outpost or El Pirata y el Perico (taco salads) over Cosmic Rays. They are three separate places instead of just the one, but they are each so close to each other that it isn't hard to order from all three and still eat in the general area. Golden Oak Outpost has flatbread sandwiches that looked SO yummy...but I didn't try one. (I plan to this time) Fyi on that one, since they don't offer a kids meal...you can order a reg. meal and use a kids credit. Made it nice for dd who wanted nuggets. She got a lot more and it still only used one kids credit. For a nice atmosphere, I think Columbia Harbor House is nice. (go upstairs if it is open) You have to be in the mood for fish though.
. I went to B&BW last weekend to get a few hand sanitizers for work. I was down to one and needed more. A month or so I got one of these: http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3958303 You can also see a better pic of them on annmarieda's PTR. Mine is like the one in the pic except it's pink and blue swirl. Now back to my story, when I went to B&BW to get more hand sanitizers I planned on getting 5 since the deal for them is 5 for $5. When I was deciding which scents I wanted, a sales person came over and gave me one hand sanitizer for free (Japanese Cherry Blossom) and a coupon to get one free Signature Item if I spent $10. So I went ahead and got 10 hand sanitizers and decided that the free body wash would be my WDW one. I immediately went to the Coconut Lime option. However, when Haylee smelled it, she wasn't impressed. 
I know for all the Coconut Lime fans that seems crazy but she can be a picky girl sometimes. 
So I continued my search and found the perfect option:
Omg! I just love everything you got.
I was thinking about going to Target today. I guess you have made me decide! You found some really neat things. That bag is very very cool!
I was in B&BW yesterday. I noticed that the other scent that came out along side the moonlight madness. (it has a peace sign on it) was 75% off. I thought about buying some for the trip as they looked very Pop Century appropriate. It is a sweat pea scent, so not an unpleasant one either. I like the idea of getting a new scent to go with the trip. You have such good ideas. I learn so many good tips from you!
What a great idea again, with the "vacation stockings" I bet your girls are going to just love them!
I plan for us to get there right when the park opens which means probably leaving POP at around 8am. We will be either eating breakfast in our room or grabbing a snack from POP. Our first goal at AK will be to get fastpasses for Kilimanjaro Safaris. I have never had the chance to ride this attraction and am very excited to try it. We will definitely be checking out some of the animal trails. I remember them very fondly from my last trip and can't wait to share them with the rest of my family. We will ride a few more rides from our must do list below. Then we will make a stop for lunch at either Flame Tree Barbecue or we may do Mickey's Picnic in the Park. I haven't really decided on this yet. Mostly it depends on whether or not Picnic in the Park is still going on or not. We check out a few more attractions. We will leave around 7:30 or 7:45 to make our 8:20pm ADR at Boma. After dinner, we will probably wander around the AK Resort to check it out since none of us have ever visited it before. After that we will make our way back to POP. We may spend some time at the pool if it's still early. Then off to bed for our first day at Epcot.
I have been buying stuff on and off for several months. So most of these things were bought at different times from different places.
First off, a little back story on my recent purchases. I was determined I needed a special body wash for the trip. I know it seems a little silly but on my last trip, I ended up buying my body wash from Bath & Body Works. I bought the Coconut Lime Verbena Scent because we were staying at CBR and it seemed to be the perfect match. I had never tried the scent before but fell in love with it. Now every time I use that scent it reminds me of my trip. So this trip, I thought I'd try to find a new scent or just make the Coconut Lime my WDW scent again. But then something magical happened
Thanks, I have been getting good ideas from you and chunkymonkey, too.
Before I post my next update, I wanted to find out what your must do rides at MK are and your favorite QS. So please post and let me know. I will post a new update this afternoon/evening and should be posting a few more over the next couple of days since I'm off from work. Woohoo!
I apologize for not posting an update sooner. I've had the past two nights off from work and been spending tons of quality time with my girls. We haven't had a lot of time to hang out together since I started my 3rd shift job back in March. So it was very nice to hang out with them now since they are out of school for the summer. I look forward to a lot more times just like these. Plus we have been super stressed the past couple of months and now most of our stress has resolved itself. I had mentioned this to another DISer but not posted it on my own PTR. Due to some regular preteen rebellion, AJ was failing on her most recent progress report. It worried me for quite some time. Today we finally got the news when we received their report cards. AJ did not do as well as we would have liked but she passed and will be going on to the 7th grade along with Haylee. We are very relieved but at the same time nervous as to how she will do in the fall. Only time will tell but we plan on doing everything we possibly can to help her achieve her goals and do better in school. Sorry for the off topic part of this post but this whole thing has definitely taken a huge weight off my shoulders. Less worrying, more trip planning.
