1) Our own Double stroller. Worth its weight in gold.
Had our purchases in the bottom, our back pack on top, snack bag hanging from the handle. Everyone just leaves their stuff in their strollers when they go in places. It was quite amazing.
It helps if your stroller folds up well to go on the different transportation.
The 2 little ones were very content in their own stroller.
2) Matching shirts. You can find your own at a glance, especially in those nightmares they call play areas (bone yard, honey I shrunk the kids, etc.) If you saw a family in either red, khaki, peacock blue, or orange from 1/31 - 2/5, that was us!
3) BABY SLING! -
Extremely helpful when getting on and off Disney buses or other transportation, and for a lot of the rides, or for nursing discreetly in shows. Forgot it twice and regretted it. I have never been very good at using the sling, but I sure got good at it!
4) Juice packs, bottles of water, and snacks. Small plastic cups.
We used the little diaper bag that a lot of hospitals give you for free. Chilled the drinks back at the cabin and they kept cold all day. Used the cups to keep toddler backwash out of the bottles. Snacks help when you aren't near a vendor or not ready for a meal yet.
What I wished I had taken...
1) one of those plug in coolers for the van. Things did not stay as cold as I would have like with just a freezer pack and ice.
2) Extra socks and underwear. Small boys. Enough said.
3) Extra juice packs. Ran out when it started to get warm out.
4) small bucket for the van. Stomach virus. Enough said.
5) IF my Pediatrician had let me...a prescription for Phenergan to stop the vomiting that came with the above mentioned virus.
If I think of more, I will post them.
