What are your must pack items for WDW?

[kathbuet1]

I'd like to get my list going for June so I know what I need to start buying.

A blister kit consisting of moleskin bandages, gauze, a sewing needle, a match book or aocholic wipes, and a small pair of scissors.

An umbrella (I shop for a Disney one before I leave for the parks - Avon has a good deal)

A great back pack that's very comfortable.

Dr. Scholls insoles.

New socks!

That about covers it.

moleskin
new socks
ponchos
film
motion sickness pills (just in case!)
sunscreen (esp the kind for the face)

Am sure you will get a lot of other great suggestions!

Good luck and enjoy!

Camera, camcorder, waterproof bags to protect them, an itinerary, waterproof camera for the waterparks, water shoes.

Most important is sunscreen!!!! Hats are great to have. A good back pack. Cloths that dry quickly. No jeans!!!

 

[wicket2005]

No jeans!!!

Definitely would go with this bit of advice. I had denim shorts on last time we went and they stayed wet all day after going on the water rides.

I was TOTALLY going to say Granola Bars. The quick snack is a GREAT pick-me-up when in line or waiting for the parade.

aftersun gel or aloe. This is great if you get burned and will help keep the skin from peeling. Of course this should be in conjunction with the massive amounts of sunscreen to be worn

The things I keep in my fanny pack:

small first aid kit/meds--contains things to clean and cover a scraped knee and blisters and stuff to fix headaches, tummy aches, heartburn, allergies and asthma
sun screen--small tube
chap stick
digi camera and a zip lock bag to keep it in when riding water rides
small battery fan---I buy the really small ones that are $1 at Walmart. They worled fine for us. If we had gone during a hotter part of the year I would have bought larger fans that squirt water.
breath mints--not a must have, but I like them. My dh is a gum chewing guy.

Diaper bag:
diapers
wipes
change of clothes for baby
change of shorts and undies for big kid
large zip lock bag for soiled/wet clothes
cereal in single serving bowl/box

Other things I'm so glad we had:
glow sticks for the kids
Brita Fill-n-Go water bottles--these have been discontinued, so stores are selling the last of them now. I paid $4.50 for a bottle yesterday at WalMart. Bottled water in the parks will cost you a pretty penny over the course of a vacation. I'm glad we had them when we went last October so I picked up two more yesterday.
Visor--I'm not much of a hat person, but I loved my visor. I wore it everyday.

I made sure everything we brought in the parks could fit in the fanny pack and small diaper bag that way we didn't have to leave anything in the stroller while riding rides. And it was all easy to carry.

Do not forget the battery charger. We had to charge the video camera every night and we kept an extra set of batteries on the charger for the digi camera. We changed out the digi cam batteries every morning.

Also, a helpful packing tip: group like items in ziplock baggies...large ziplock baggies. Even in your carry on. It makes searches so much faster.

Ok, that's all I can think of right now.

Okay, this may sound like a stupid question but what is "moleskin"? I'm assuming it is something for blisters Is it like a bandaid? Where would you find this product ? It is on every packing list I have found.

Moleskin can be found in most drug stores and supermarkets in the first aid aisle. It's a sheet of something that better resembles a fuzzy sticker than a band aid. It's sticky on one side, and fuzzy on the other. The thought is, when you feel a blister coming on, or you know where you're blister prone, you stick it to your skin over those spots (not over any open blisters) and it cuts down BIG TIME on the friction so it heads off blisters before they become painful little buggers.

Make sure that you take some anti-bacterial wipes to the parks! They are PERFECT for cleaning tables and seats before you eat.

We always pack clothes pins for keeping snack bags closed tightly and for keeping draperies closed. We also pack a night light.

 

[kandeebunny]

Purell! The little bottles of it. I can't live without them!!!

Thank you cards/notes for mousekeeping and extremely helpful cm's

 

[Forevryoung]

How about an extra camera battery and a disposable camera- you dont want to have your camera "break" while your away and a disposible is cheaper at home than in the parks. How about an extra memory card too-

Discount cards or anything that might possibly get you a discount. I've forgotten mine on several occassions because I leave them at home unless I know I am going to be somewhere. My wallet gets too fat.

 

[sheridee32]

Extra sunglasses I broke mine last year and I ended up having to buy a pair at the resort. Ecspecially if you wear contacts.

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Ziploc bags - assorted sizes
kids hand wipes
clorox wipes
kids bathroom wipes
sunscreen
water spray/fans - we've got two that we bought at WDW and US and we just keep bringing them back
guest of honor pins
lots of $ store rain ponchos
kids light up spinners (so we don't have to keep buying new ones)
glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets from $ store
band aids (somehow you know you will always need them)
medicine (excedrine, kids tylenol, immodium, dayquil, nyquil, clariton and any prescriptions drugs dd is on zyrtec)
batteries
disposable cameras and disposable water proof cameras
lanyard that I keep our APs and room keys in
kids snacks - goldfish, cheerios etc

I'm sure there are tons more since I always overpack. I also ship down the kids disney stuffed animals, princess costumes and "tinkerbelle" gifts so its less I have to pack.

I don't know how I could forget extra $ store hanging shoe racks since my dds feel the need to have shoes that match every outfit!
