[myprincessgirlisa]

So I have been thinking ahead about what I need to remember to bring on our trip to WDW for our VR & it made me think....maybe im forgeting something or maybe I could remind someone not to forget_____.

This is a few things, but Im sure Im missing alot.
Some of this stuff is not necessary, but in my experience If i needed it & didnt have it, it cost triple down at the parks...like a camera battery cost me $30 one year!!!
You never know & its always better to have it & be prepared...one less thing to worry about right?!?!

SOOOO what I need Is all you girls to add to the list!!!

Ask questions if needed, but I want to be prepared & have no worries that I forgot something.

PAST BRIDES....help...did you forget something & maybe it could benefit us by letting us know?!?!?!

its a DFTW sisterhood.!!!!!!

Great idea!
This is a great list!
The only thing I would add right now is this double-sided sticky tape that is great for strapless gowns. Some wedding/bridesmaid dresses will tend to stretch/loosen after being worn for over ten minutes and the tape worked great to keep the dresses up so no one had to keep pulling their gowns up during the night!

Everytime I go on a trip I try to remeber to pack an extra pair of contact lenses in case I lose or tear one...I wouldn't be able to enjoy my trip without them!

 

[DisneyFairy19]

Great list.. You helped me out for my next trip

Very helpful list ! Thanks for posting.

 

[JackieSparrow]

This is random, but if you plan on drinking any bottles of wine in your room, a corkscrew? If I remember right, last time we were at WDW, we had a bottle of wine with us, and then when we went to open it... we couldn't

 

[Lynn5700]

Wow thank you so much!!

 

[AnnieBelle]

I want to print this out but I am afraid people are going to keep adding great things so I would have to print out several editions! Hahaha! I am definitely bookmarking!

 

[DisneyFairy19]

I know I feel the same way... But I went ahead and printed just in case!!!!

 

[jmmastra]

Oh good list...and yes do not forget the corkscrew!!!

Also Gel Sols..they make them for open toed shoes and strappy sandels!

Don't for get the cell phone charger

I know you have face cleanser on the list, but for those of you who don't normally wear much make-up and will be having it professionally done, don't forget the eye make-up remover! I meant to buy some before we left but ended up forgetting. It took a day or two of washing with my regular face cleanser before I finally got all of the mascara off.

Good idea as we went to India last Dec and I would have had a bad time if I hadn't taken spares. I wear the extended wear ones, and wore my glasses thru' the long flight as I would put in a fresh pair when we arrived, BUT one of the lenses had been heat-sealed into the lid making it unuseable. So glad that I had a spare one, so now I always take a 'spare' spare one!

To add to the list, we're taking disposable spoon/fork so we can eat the anniversary layer of our cake in our room, as we won't be allowed to take it home - yum yum!
Also, I always make sure I have a small notebook and pen with me as I often things of things then forget them if I haven't written it down initially (but that's probably my age )

i just read a tip from one of these weekly magazines & i thought a great tip was to pack a power strip for extra plugs

I added up what Id need to plug in & i was already up to 4(2 cell phones, camera battery, camcorder) .....that was a great idea

Oh that's a great idea! I'm adding that one.

I know this may sound stupid, but I actually did this:

Don't forget to pack any prescription medications in your carry on. I spent a good two hours coordinating between my docs office and concierge and the pharmacy to get meds since I forgot to pack mine.

You might also want to take some moleskin (for blisters). We also took a travel size bottle of hand sanitizer and some wet wipes travel packs.

 

[AnnieBelle]

This might just be me, but we always make sure that we have an extra bag for our dirty clothes so that we do not have them floating around the room while we are on vacation.
I do not know if anyone put aloe but sometimes I am terrible about forgetting to put on sun block!
Also, dryer sheets are also good if some of the dresses seem to be doing that static cling right before the ceremony.

 

[disprincessatheart]

This one seems obvious, but I always list all of my chargers separately on our packing list - cell phone, camera, camcorder, elec. toothbrush, elec. shaver. There's nothing worse than remembering to bring all of yoru things, but forgetting the charger and not being able to use them!

Also, extra memory or tapes or film for cameras. If you run out, it's very expensive to pick some up near WDW!

 

[purplegirl247]

I've started a list of things to remember too! (on my own)

*boom box (with batteries), CDs for first dance (b/c we're intimate, they said we'd have to supply our own)
*buttoned-down shirt so Anna Wasacar can do makeup without me being fully dressed
*shot list for Randy (with everyone's names and which photos we'd like, so we don't end up milling around, trying to remember what we wanted)
*thank-you note for officiant
*portable steamer for dress
*honeymoon itinerary, with dates, times, and confirmation numbers for tours and dining
*cell phone number of all the vendors (Randy, Anna, coordinator Juliana, etc.)

Great thread, keep it up!
