What am I missing?

*Mini m&m tube filled in the following order- quarter, quarter, penny, quarter, quarter, penny, etc- for the pressed penny machines

*trader pins for pin trading with CMs in the parks

*Motrin, Aleve, or Tylenol for the moms and dads who aren't used to walking a gazillion miles a day

*cold meds- just in case (EXPENSIVE to buy onsite!!)

*bottled H2O to bring into the parks

*cheap Dollar Store raingear (ponchos and umbrellas)

*Chap stick, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer

*retractable Sharpie and autograph book for character meet & greets

*bubbles and travel size MagnaDoodle for entertaining the little ones in long lines

*glow sticks, light up toys bought on sale, and other fun nighttime stuff for the kids- bring extras to give away to other kids while waititng for fireworks or nighttime parades

*Tinker Bell presents- little gifts bought throughout the year on clearance at the Disney store or other places that "Tink" leaves on kids' pillows at the resort every day. Really curbs the urge to want lots of stuff at the park shops.
 
The number 1 item I learned from the DIS Boards and COULD NOT get along without -- a clear, over-the-door shoe organizer for all of your toiletries, brushes, medications, pins, etc. We stayed at the ASMo where counter space is limited and this was the one item that made a huge difference.
 
Okay- Thanks to the wonderful Disboards I:

1. have my ADRs
2. have my Vera Bradley purse
3. have my Body Glide
4. have my blister pads just in case
5. have my lime green mickey heads
6. have my stroller decorated to find it
7. am ordering from Garden Grocer
8. am prepurchasing photopass
9. will check the weather on at least 4 different websites several times
10. will pack sunscreen

What am I missing? Can anyone think of anything?

Here's an interesting tip our physician gave us not just for Disney, but for anytime you fly (assuming you are flying to Orlando):

Bring some vasoline and q-tips with you on the plane. Dip the q-tip into the vasoline and gently coat your nasal passages with the q-tip. This will moisten your nasal passages and may help prevent sinus infections that can occur during air travel. Have fun on your trip!
 

we just got back from WDW 2 weeks ago and thanks to my fellow disers packed everything we might need and it came in handy. cold meds, hand sani,autograph books with retractable sharpie, little gifts, etc. what did i forget? princess dresses (didn't think my dd's would want to wear them) so daddy ran down to walmart bought 2 for 40. i packed dayquil,motrin,tums etc...what happened? we came down with somethig trrible and needed Nyquil! DH had to go to hess to buy some! $8 for a small pkg! read abt the weather in FL but thght "hmmmm surely it woldn't rain in DEC tht must be for the summer folks!" but rain it did. paid dearly for the ponchos and umbrella. so to sum it up if you take anything take

1.ponchos
2. nyquil,dayquil,motrin (that's all you really need)
3. bathing suits (i didn't think it would be warm enough but it was)
