What I wish I would have known BEFORE getting to WDW!

What section are these in at walmart?

You can also get them on ebay. I ordered a box of 100 bracelet size sticks with connectors. My girls can make multi-colored necklaces and share them with other kids.

...Immodium - one of my boys needed this (that's the best way to say it) our last trip and we couldn't find it ANYWHERE in the parks or resort. I mean, for such a common thing you would think it would be everywhere.

I bring a small notebook where I jot down things like ADRs, the resort phone number, tentative itinerary etc. I also add email addresses of friends and family so when we get to Epcot we can send the electronic postcards. People loved getting them and it was a lot of fun to do.
The best tip I ever got from these boards was the shoe holder for the hotel room! It is great to have all your stuff hanging up instead of constantly searching for it somewhere in your luggage.
On our first trip we purchased those water bottle straps and they are very usefull especially in August when you need to drink a lot. Mine is from Epcot so it has all the flags on it and my DD is from MK and it has the characters on it. We actually use them at home once in a while too.

Here's my own 2 cents worth: if you or any member of your family/touring group are allergic to bandaids, as my son is, bring 100% cotton gauze pads and paper tape. Both can be gotten at your local drug store.

I also saw neck cooler bands at REI if you have one in your area. They were really neat colors/designs, most looked almost tye-dyed or batiked. I think they were about $15 there.

The cheaper alternative, and more useful one for me, is to use ice rolled into a bandana....especially if cups of water with ice is free! I spend a lot of time outdoors in the Texas summer heat and those neck cooler bands just seem to end up hot and soggy if not regularly re-dipped in cool water. The ice will slowly melt giving the same effect and since it's wrapped layers deep in the bandana, there's no worries about cold burns.

BTW, this is a great thread. I'm already putting together a checklist in excel based on the suggestions. Thx!

Laptop (if you have one) and camera dock. That way, after each day, you can load your pictures onto your computer so you don't have to worry about running out of picture memory or buying another memory card.

PaMom001...if you could pm me the list, I would be very grateful!
