My list is beginning

Safetytat

Peg P3 Stroller..we rarely use one here at home, but she loves to take it to the mall..but we have what I call an 'SUV Stroller'...folded it barely fits in my trunk..so had to get a small one.

Still looking for the definitive bag to attach to the peg as well as accumulating gifts. I need more Disney themed clothing (Pjs) for her and then I'll be ready to go.

Love the ideas I have read about the gift baskets and such in the room..so that's on the list still to do.

I spend way too much time here..yikes!

Walmart has some adorable Disney Pjs for boys and girls!

A Bagallini and my first pair of crocs!

check out Skip Hop bags, I love mine. It is deep with two zipper pockets on top, two slip in pockets on the front and a mesh pocket on one side for bottles. Hangs very comfortably on the stroller and is easy to remove and put back on.

Are you talking about the skip hop saddle bags? I've been trying to figure out what to get. I have a HUGE double stroller and I would like to get a smaller stroller, but I wasn't sure about what type of bag that would easily attach.

I have one more question..the Maclaren Volvo..we are driving and I need 2 strollers. Are these small enough that I could fit 2 in the trunk with our luggage or in the back seat?

I too was converted to Crocs from this site and I LOVE them.

TourguideMike. Though I live in FL. and disdain paying for a lot of info I already know there are some hints I was glad to have and am waiting for my renewal code for this years trip.

And I would NEVER have made a single minnie dot outfit if it weren't for the insane...er, I mean, GENIUS women at the disboutique thread.

Safetytat---HATED them. They are STICKY after you apply them-not like regular tattoos at all. I tried everything---putting lotion on them etc. They stuck to clothes, hair everything. They were unreadable by the next morning (I applied them at night and it took me three or four tries just to get one on because they stuck to the cover paper, the backing, everything and I couldn't get one on in one piece that wasn't distorted and unreadable). They were awful.

TourGuide Mike-very helpful!

Bagallini-just ok. Loved that it was waterproof but when it was loaded down, the strap adjusters kept slipping so it hung down too far. It gave me a nice bruise on my shoulder and wouldn't stay behind my back when I was pushing the stroller either.

Dollar store glow sticks-GREAT idea.

Cheap ponchos-great idea too, but luckily we didn't need them!

 

[coolbeans]

mine is the Duo, I was going to try a saddle bag but thought it may be too small for all our junque. the Duo straps attach to the handles on the regular stroller, if DH will teach me to use the dern digital camera and load pics eventually I will be able to post some!!
We used it at Kings Dominion last summer, it held diapers, travel size wipes (2 containers), sippy cup, change of clothes for DS, sunscreen spray, hair brush, lotion, camera, extra film, and probably a few other odds and ends.

for the person who asked about fitting 2 Mac volos in your car. yup. no problem. We drive a Chevy Uplander. I had 7 suitcases and 2 macs in the back along with 2 ready beds. oh and a pool tote with towels.

those volos are the best. I even had cup holders attached and we were fine. Put the gate check bag and rain cover right in stroller in basket and we were good to go.

 

[kileybeth]

about those "buys"

crocs (about 10 pairs now but there are 6 of us!)
Mac volos, 3 of them! oh my!
Red gate check bags x2 for the volos
Valco cup holders top of the line, worth every penny. love them.

my tots are rockin' in their pimped out strollers!

and those are the cheap things. . . Our first on site Disney stay. . .at the POLY and then a 2nd stay in same year and um, a third! oh dear!

and lets not talk about all those little cheapy treasures that add up! pencils, stickers, flashlights, glow sticks,

6 refillable resort mugs, the "free" DDP, aforementioned ready beds (wonderful!!)

Passporter, UnOffic. Guide,

dole whips,

I really must stop now.

 

[LoveTwoTravel]

Okay, guys! I'm so pumped that everyone is responding to my thread. The DIS is great, isn't it?

I have the DUO from Skip Hop. Actually, I SAW it at Disney two years ago and it was so wonderful that I asked the owner about it. I then came home and ordered the Duo and the Double Duo (is it even called that?)

Does anyone have the Buddy Buddy? Would it be better for the Mac Quest than my Skip Hop? I'm thinking about those refillable mugs...

 

[lovesdumbo]

I have one more question..the Maclaren Volvo..we are driving and I need 2 strollers. Are these small enough that I could fit 2 in the trunk with our luggage or in the back seat?

They fold pretty small. I got mine for $75 (free shipping, no tax) from www.babye-store.com If you get a 2007 version it will come with the raincover.

I have a buggy buddy (read about it on the dis of course!). I wanted a the skip hop backpack but don't need a diaper bag so I couldn't justify the expense. The buggy buddy has to be unattached from one side of the mac stroller before folding it up so that was a bit inconvenient but it did work well when the stroller wasn't folded. I just hung my "regular" backpack on the stroller.


I did buy the silicone wrist bands with my & DH's cell phone numbers for the kids. They were only about $2.50 each and the kids think they're cool.

I bought teva terra-fi sandals...love them. I am still torn between a Baggallini tote bag or the Ellington Flight tote ( need a tote bag, can't stand messenger bags or back packs).

That's probably where I am leaning. I initially discounted them because they were 'diaper bags' and we don't need that..

Anyway, but then I talked to their people and even though it is a diaper bag, the Dash Deluxe I think will fit the bill. I don't want a backpack and I just need stuff for the 2 of us so I think it will be good. I am thinking about the chocolate color which I think will match the Peg's pink just fine while still being perfect for a dad and daughter!!

 

[emmababy]

I have learned so much from this forum.
Things we learned/bought:
ponchos- although we got caught in a storm without them and still had to buy disney's!
Fan for stroller
Stroller cover for rain
Crystal light singles for water bottles
Garden Grocer
TGM
ADR's

I had a friend that recently went to Orlando without so much as having bought park tickets in advance!

 

[eliza61]

Just crocs and I was soo disappointed. I had read so many reviews about how comfortable they were, I guess I expected to be floating on a bed of clouds or some thing.
Not only did I think they were ugly (still do), they were not anymore comfortable than my sneakers. I kept saying "you gotta be kidding me". I gave mine to goodwill when I got home.

 

[jessp1021]

zip lock bags!!!! I have 4 boxes waiting for our trip..
gifts for a basket for both kids when we get there from MM
over the door toiletries organizer
crocs
ADR'S
a backpack similar to the baggelini.. I found it at TRU and absolutely love it.. it came with a changing pad, and it has 2 side zip compartments with everything from a passy holder to a key holder as well as plenty of mesh pockets, and then the other side is actually insulated so this will be perfect for keeping waters cold!!

 

[JustinsMommy07]

1- a BOB Stroller (kind of expensive but I justified it by the weight limit and I got free shipping )

2- Crocs- they are so ugly but soooo comfortable. I'm hooked and I got DS, DH my mom and aunt pairs also.

3- Passporter- for Disneyworld and Disneycruise

4- T-shirt transfer paper - haven't made any disigns yet

And I'm still looking for stuff for our vacation in October. We are doing the 4 night cruise and a couple of days in Disney.

 

[a82allison]

clickable sharpies for autograph books
dark t-shirt transfers for my matching shirt obsession
ziplock baggies for kids extra outfits
puppy harness and monkey harness from Target (bought but ended up not using because the kiddos were happy in the stroller)

 

[ammeador2]

I am having a really hard time justifying the Maclaren since I need 2 strollers. Granted it looks like a great purchase!

Anyone know of any other strollers that would work, and that could fold up smaller and what not. I drive a Civic so trunk space is kinda limited!
