My favorite aisle is the travel items aisle at Target! There is something about mini items that I just love. Maybe it's because it reminds me of vacation. If you have a Disney tote (like me) then it's never too early to buy stuff for vacation! You just throw everything in there and it's ready to go when it's time to pack!

I'll be hitting that aisle tonight. I really don't need much, but it never hurts to look.
By the way, SINGLE DIGITS FOR ME!!!

I'm almost all packed-gonna stop by Old Navy, Target and Kohls on my way home this evening to see if there's anything I can't live without. Hoping I can pack everything into 2 checked bags (darn fees)! I'm sure if I tried really hard, I could probably condense down to one big one if I used all of our carry-on allotments. But not sure with 2 kids and a stroller, I want 4 carry-on's and 4 "personal" bags (Andy already calls me Mommy-Pack Mule). Am I the only mom that ends up carrying most everything???

You are so close Jenny!!!

I do the same thing. I bring everything with us. DH just told me the other day that I should cut down on what I pack, especially shoes!

We usually check 3 bags and then each have a carry-on and then I have a personal item - my WDW tote! I am hoping to get away with just 1 or 2 checked pieces next time since we are going in the summer and will not need as many clothes. But it will probably be 2, not 1.

Believe it or not I pulled out my Disney tote last night to take inventory and start making my shopping/packing list!

It makes it so much easier on the wallet to buy a little at a time. Plus I'm a little excited.

Have you guys ever seen that episode of Friends (probably one of the first one or two seasons) where Joey puts on all of Chandlers clothes? That's going to be us getting on the airplane! No checked bags here, we're wearing all of our clothes!

Yes, I saw that episode!!

You could totally do that since you are going in the winter! It might not work so well for us in August though.

Love that episode! "Could I BE wearing anymore clothes!" and he's commando

You might have some trouble at the security checks though.

I have a Disney Tote as well as a Travel Tote as I travel with Work. our travel toiletries were so bad I needs to create a system in our bathroom cupboard... I think I could open my own travel aisle , we have one drawer of shampoo, condition, and soap, another for "all other" - hand sanitizer, mouth wash etc. and then a basket for my travel sized containers(toothbrush holders, soap dish etc.)

So I dragged out the Disney Tote and the Travel Tote... you can't believe what I collect.

I'll go for the pat-down check-I bet I wouldn't feel a THING!
Speaking of commando...that reminds me of a certain time when Didn't Mama Snowbird forgot to pack something of hubby's??????

Oh My Gosh!! I almost forgot about that!!



Poor DH.

I will never forget that !
so do they sell drawers at WDW?

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

so do they sell drawers at WDW?

They sure do. And for only $18 each!

It seems that all they sell for men (or at least that's how it was then) are boxers and they are sold individually.





We could find womens and boys & girls drawers in 3 packs for about $20, but not mens!

 

[Monny2AE]

For that price you could have rented a cab to take you to Walmart!

I guess Disney knows that you gotta have undies so they can get away with ripping you off.

Oh, Jenny - are you totally crazy with excitement?? I would be. No doubt.

I too love the travel size items. This trip, I'm going to try not to pack so much. I LOVE the stuff they give you on the cruise and in the deluxe resorts, so I'll just use theirs. I have enough stuff I HAVE to bring anyway!

I TOTALLY remember that Friends episode! I've thought of traveling that way too. At least throw on an extra sweatshirt and jacket. They take up too much space in a suitcase!
I don't know HOW I'm going to pack for this trip. We are driving, so that is good. But we don't have a minivan anymore, so it all has to fit in the trunk. I'm hoping two large suitcases and a garment bag (cruise wear). Plus two carry on bags. Each girl will bring a backpack filled with their essential stuff (toys, books, DS etc.).
So much to plan for and only two months to do it!!! Two months from RIGHT NOW I will be enjoying a show or dinner on the Disney Dream!!! WOO HOO!!!

Yep, CRAZY is a good word for me! Just realized I forgot to RSVP for a party for Drew's friend that's TODAY, after school. Luckily Andy ran home at lunch, got the invite, called the mom, I called my mom who agreed to get a card and stick some cash in it and drop Drew off at 430. Whew....I'm exhausted!
And I didn't even get to visit Target's travel goodies aisle last night. Worked a little OT and stopped by White Castle (don't know what made me thing that Belly Bombers, as they're affectionately called, would be a good idea) . Ended up with a migraine and major nausea, so went home after only going to Kohls. Maybe I'll drag the boys to Target with me tonight.

 

[drakes]

We're dancing with excitement here too
In one week we'll be finalizing our packing and trying to get some sleep in before our early morning wake up call to head to the airport!

 

[Monny2AE]

Jenny- I have to ask, what's White Castle and more importantly what's a belly bomber? Don't get sidetracked on your way to the travel size aisle at target tonight!

Joanne- 7 Days!!!!! I got all excited to see 9 months on my ticker today- I can only imagine how excited you are to see 7 days on yours!!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

congrats on your upcoming take off dates!!!! It'll be here before you know it!!! I have to be careful smelling stuff in stores,or I too get a migraine...in fact, I did it last week at Bath Junkie...and I stuck to the ones I felt wouldnt make me sick and I STILL got a headache!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Jenny - are you serious about What is White Castle? I thought they were everywhere!

It's a disgusting greasy burger joint and they sell these "gut bombs" as my dad calls them, or little burgers with grilled onions - "sliders" is another name for them. SO NASTY!!!! The smell alone makes me want to hurl! It's commonly known as a place where people go after consuming a lot of alcohol.

I'm so excited for you and Joanne! Time is almost up for you! Get thee to Target's travel items aisle!!!
