If you have a digital camera REMEMBER that you will take hundreds of pictures. Make sure you have enough memory on your card or purchase an extra card before you leave, if you forget you will pay close to $100 for one at WDW {$60 @ Walmart}. If you run out of memory and you dont want to spend any money on a new card, you can go to any of the photo shops in the parks and have your card burned onto a CD for about $12.00. We forgot our other card and that worked out great for us!!

Will be taking on the plane food that can't be shipped: Banana's, mini-bagels, ?Milk, pre-packaged deli meat & possibly frozen chicken nuggets (ds with food allergy), possibly a few scoops of ds's safe dairy free butter/margerine, soy butter (peanut butter made from soy nuts).

My list is ongoing & I know I forgot stuff so I just stuck a note on the fridge today with food stuff I want to bring (I have just under 60 days ).

We're going the end of the month and this time not renting a car. We usually do a grocery stop but we get in really late. I was thinking about the idea of shipping things like diapers, wipes, lysol etc but my DH said I was nuts. But here it is in your post. Have you done it before? How does it work? Does the front desk at your hotel just accept it for? Couldn't you pack this kind of stuff in a box and check it with your luggage? Thanks for the input!!!

A few lists had "moleskin" on it. What is that? What's it used for?

 

[kathbuet1]

It's for blisters so they do not continue to rub against your shoe. They are in the feet section. I beleive it is Dr Scholl's makes it and the cheapest I found it is at Walmart for just under 3 dollars.

 

[monymony3471]

Moleskin: Blisters! That makes sense. Just never heard of it. Thanks!

Just 2 quick notes I recommend to guests when they call....
1) have an infant? you need a snuggly backpack. Your baby will not want to be strollered all day and your arms will kill you without one.

2) want to keep your digital camera?
just in case you leave it somewhere, I recommend...
make sure there aren't any questionable photos on it
take the first shot of a lovely piece of paper on which you've written
your name, room number, resort, arrival date, and cell phone or home phone number.

.... why? if a cast member finds it, or it gets turned in, we'll probably scroll through to try to identify the owner. I don't work in lost and found, but it seems like a no brainer to me.

3) spare socks.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, fresh baggie-kept socks to change into mid-day are a real attitue booster. fresh socks are a joy of life.
