What to bring?

[mrsannb]

What do you need to bring to a DVC room that you wouldn't have to bring when staying at a regular disney resort? I'm thinking mostly like housekeeping type things, as I'm a little confused about what you get and don't get. Do I need to bring our own pool towels, soap, cups, etc?

If you are staying in a 1 or 2 bdrm and will be doing laundry, you need to supply your own laundry detergent. You will be given a one load box on the first day. You'll also need coffee and filters.

Pool towels are provided near the pools. Cups, bowls, etc will be provided, they will be "disposbles" in most studios, "real" glasses and bowls in 1 bedrooms and larger.

There is an exrta charge of yo need more toiletries than what are provided, and as the previous poster said, you'll need laubndry soap.

All DVC villas (except studios) have a juccuzi tub. I've seen many posts on here where people discuss cleaning these themselves before they use it for the first time. So, cleaning supplies for the tub if you plan to sooth sore muscles in a bubble bath and don't quite trust how thoroughly it was scrubbed before you got there.

I find the following very helpful:

* hand soap in a pump for the bathrooms
* coffee/filters and to-go coffee cups
* clorox wipes
* laundry detergent/dryer sheets

have a great trip.

I usually have:

Hand soap in a pump for bathrooms
laundry detergent/dryer sheets
Glade bathroom spray for those smelly times
Night light
noise machine
King sheets

and I keep it all in my Owners Locker for next time
