Substitutes for liquids...what towelettes are available and where?

[agnes!]

We are going to WDW for a long weekend trip this fall. I am looking for liquid substitutes for any of my toiletries I can find and *where*(which chains, on-line merchants) any DIS'ers have found them. I really need my moisturizer & lotions & toothpaste, etc. I am concerned about buying there, we won't be at WDW long enough to hardly use *anything* up (with the exception of possibly a travel-size toothpaste for the three of us). Also, I can get usually get better prices at Costco and I don't really want to waste time shopping for toiletries when I could be riding a WDW ride or shopping for Disney stuff somewhere at WDW !

If we can avoid checking our luggage we'd really like to do so, we might be trying to fly stand-by on one of our legs.

Gee, I think there has *got* to be a market for "FAA-approved" towelettes with: moisturizers, sunblock, mosquito-repellent, etc.

Thanks,
agnes!

"OFF" makes bug repellant wipes that work well.

I also have hand sanitizer wipes that I got at my local grocery store.

I haven't seen sunscreen wipes, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I have sunscreen wipes (DO NOT get the ones mixed with repellent)! Mosquito repellent wipes. Disposable face cloths. Disposable body cloths (Shower to Shower makes a nice one) tiny toothpaste tubes (smaller than the usual travel size) soap leaves, nail polish remover wipes, etc...

Go to a good drug store and scour the aisles. I found most of mine at Walgreen, CVS, and the like. You can purchase a bar of shampoo at Basin.

I just got some sunscreen towelettes at Gander Mountain (a sporting goods store here in Wis, not sure if they're national). They were 47 cents for a single pack or $4.97 for a 10 pack (regularly $9.97). So I grabbed a couple of the single packs for our carry-on.
I got OFF bug spray towelettes at Target for $2.95 for a pack of 24 (I think).
Hand wipes you can get at the grocery store, Target or anywhere. I got a travel-size pack at Target for 97 cents.
Hope this helps!

Avon often has products available in towelette sample form, even perfume. There is actually tooth powder(my grandfather used it all the time) but its uncommon now & probably expensive, he also used a shaving soap. Several companies make facial cleansing cloths & even substitute bath wipes. Sunscreen, bug repellent & hand cleaning wipes are very easy to find at CVS, Target, etc.

Im confused? Am I wrong in thinking that you can check your cosmetic/toiletries with your luggage? I have a small travel bag that I thought I would fill with my toiletries and pack in my suitcase that I intend to check. Can we still do that?

I believe she is trying to carryon all the luggage in order to catch an earlier standby flight on one of the connections. So checking in bags would not be an option.

I suggest ups or fed exing a box of toiletries to your hotel to have it waiting for you upon check in. Have it scheduled to arrive 1-2 days before you do.
