After you have picked the time of year and what resort and gotten the best deal possible what do you do next?
I was wondering when do most of you start getting ready to go?
When do you start thinking about what you will need to take such as clothing, shoes, personal care products - from shampoo to sunscreen and how to you purchase these things all at once or slow over several months.
How do you decide on ADR's? And if you take any snacks or food items?
I start from the time I make the reservation. I go through my ( families) vacation clothes, what can I reuse, and what needs to go and be replaced. Then as I'm out an about if I see something on sale or clearance I can add to the vacation section of the closet. I have a small plastic tote that I start putting thing away, such as socks, under clothes, night wear.
I have a small crate in one of the closets that my husband calls the "Disney Box" I start putting away items, if I get shampoo buy one get on free the free one goes in the crate,same for hair gel, mouse, toothbrushes, trial size bandaids, over the counter medicine ect. whatever I think I might need. I have a list that I put in the box and mark off what I have added and refresh myself on what I still need.
As for ADR's - Chefs Mickey is a must then we (family) pick 2 favorites and 2 new resturants to have sit down meals. I make the grocery list about 1 month ahead. We drive so we can bring the cooler, we bring the large one for the room then a fold way one for the pool.
I sometimes feel like I over think the vacation.
I was hoping that there are others out there like me. I just want to make everything as smooth as possible. So that I can sit back and relax when I get there.
