As well as everything mentioned above which I also agree with I have to mention to throw in extra batteries for your camera and a good size memory card or two. I have two 8 GB cards and always carry extra rechargeable batteries (don't forget the charger!) for every trip we take. My picture capability is over 1587 and that is on the best quality setting for each card and videos are not a problem either with that much memory. I don't think I will be taking 3000 photos but you never know and you don't have to worry about it when your are snapping away and shooting video.

Sometimes I pack a power strip in our luggage in case whatever place we are staying at doesn't have enough outlets for all the things we need to charge: cell phones, cameras, Ipods, etc.

I also have 2 sets of cell phone chargers for my DH & I, the one that came with the phone and a second one for each phone that I bought on ebay for a few bucks. The ebay ones are just as good and they are a permanent fixture in our luggage so I never forger to pack them and don't have to worry about remembering the ones at home the morning we are leaving.

This is general packing info for every vacation, not just Disney.

Watch "WISHES" from the beach @ the POLY. No crowds and the music is piped in. We had a swinging bench to sit in
