What to bring?

[TigerCheer2009]

In a fit of absolute brilliance and insanity, I switched my trip from Dec 06 to Dec 05. I know that there are certain things one MUST bring to the World...what are yours? (ie mister fans, etc.) And what about Tinkerbell/Mickey gifts?

TIA!

I don't care for the mister fans, but I do wear a small fan on a string around my neck. I also have a water bottle strap that I bought in Epcot that is great. I don't like to be lugging things around in the park, so transfer my room key, ticket, money, credit card into a small pouch with a wrist-strap.

Thanks for the help! Do you know if we can get bottle straps online?

Advil and sunscreen!

Advil...but of course! Sunscreen? Even in December?

Thanks rootskate!

I bought my bottle strap at a stand outside the American Experience. I doubt disney has them online, but other companies might sell similar items.

I always wear sunscreen when I'm going to be outside for a prolonged period. I got the worst sunburn of my life in April on a cloudy day.

We are also going to WDW this December and will be adding gloves/mittens, hats for the kids, and sweatshirts on our lists of what to bring. I will definitely bring sunscreen (Coppertone has those new continuous spray types in a can - goes on great), but will not be bringing any misty bottles since I am not anticipating 80 degree weather in FL in Dec - but I suppose one never knows. My dad lived in FL for a few years and tells me Decembers can be as mild as 80, or as chilly as 30-40's - not 80 or 30 every day though. We'll probably pack jeans as well as shorts, and also bathing suits just in case there is a Dec. "heat-wave". We live in New England and do not mind cool weather, I just hope it does not rain too much. A coldish rain is sad, sad, sad. Oh yeah, I guess I should be prepared and pack ponchos also.

Bug spray, sunscreen, sunglasses and lots of money!

I will definitely second the suggestion of sweatshirts and gloves. If we would have had gloves late in Nov. we would have worn them. You might not need them, the weather is really changeable. But pack them in your suit case incase, you will probably need sweatshirts once the sun goes down though.
