[drewswife]

hand wipes (easier then finding a bathroom before you eat), Sharpies (for character signing), Band-aids and bacitracin (for the boo-boo from running), flip flops (so you do not have to wear your sneakers to the pool and I bring for Kali so we are not walking around in wet sneakers all day) and batterie charger for cell phone & digital camera

wow thank you very much, this is what i was looking for

You're quite welcome!

Just wanted to second the plastic baggies. I have found numerous uses for them in the parks...putting our camera inside them on wet rides. Putting clothing that got wet in them so everything else doesn't get wet. Carrying your sunscreen inside them. I also think a towel is pretty handy to have with you.

 

[mickey&minniealways]

a rain poncho. When it rains in Florida it doesn't last. So after the storm fold the poncho and put it in a ziplock bag so it doesn't get your other things wet. A small towel for in the parks. In some rides the seats are going to be wet and you want to wipe them off before you sit. Sunscreen and glasses are a must. A good pair of walking shoes are a must. [/ Don't forget a light jacket for the evenings. Hope this helps.

a pop up hamper for your laundry!

Male adult:

t-shirts
underwear
socks
tennis shoes
sandals
electric razor
swim trunks
deodorant
medicine

Female Adult:

shorts
shirts
underwear
one cover up layer - see below
socks
tennis shoes
sandals
crocs (maybe?)
razors (unless you wax ahead of time)
make-up
deodorant
bathing suit
feminine products


baby wipes - a few can be handy - esp. if you get the sanitizing kind - otherwise a TINY tube of the hand sanitzer gel can be handy but not absolutely needed. That stuff can be used to clean a cut in a pinch, too.



SUPPLY LIST:

Bathroom/closet:

toothpaste
q-tips - just a few
brush
sunscreen - I don't bother. I don't go in August, but I've never gotten a sunburn at WDW either! We go in the parks all day, but you are not sitting outside like at the beach all day. At teh beach, sunscreen is a must!


hair dryer - unless you are at a value resort, most rooms have them - even some of the value resorts, and the ones that don't will lend them - I don't bring one.
nail clippers
nail file
scissors - nail clippers suffice
shampoo
conditioner
soap - I'm particular about my soap products, so I bring mine, but most resorts do supply these. Shampoo can double as laundry soap in a pinch for hand washing items in the resort room sink. It can also be used as dishsoap ina pinch. I tend to use low-fragrance shampoos!


mesh laundry bag - I bring a few zip loc bags usually for my soaps, you'll collect WDW plastic bags in a hurry to use for dirty laundry. Most WDW reosrts also give you a plastic 'laundry' bag, too. I don't bring this.

Most resorts have some hangers. Enough for my needs.

Kitchen: - If on-property you don't need most of this. If you must bring some of these, get travel sized tubes.

garbage bags - again those WDW bags suffice. Any shop can give you some and they are STRONG - they can even be used as carry-on luggage!
ziplock bags
tylenol
band-aids
antibiotic cream
MOLESKIN - this stuff is great - it can be used as a bandage, will save a foot from blisters, etc.!


Car: - I suppose if you are driving long distance....

water
toolbox
flashlight
towel
ice chest
small garbage bags
maps
snack box
oil
fix-a-flat - This stuff is VERY bad to use!!!!!!
pillow(s)
toilet paper (for emergencies)

General:

camera
film/memory card
batteries - rechargable ones can be handy, along with a quick charger
clock - I've never seen a reosrt room that doesn't have one! I've also never been to a hotel that doesn't offer free wake up calls!
water bottle - I do get water for WDW!

beach towels - WDW supplies PLENTY of towels!

travel information
guidebooks
room confirmation
ponchos - I skip these, unless I'm going in the really rainy season. Usually one hooded dark sweatshirt works for me - or maybe a windbreaker. Often the rain in Olrando is heavy, but shortlived.
phone & charger



I love Rick Steves quotes on packing - "Plan for the best case scenario - not the worst." If you KNOW you need a certain medicine or pillow or something, then bring it - but if you don't have a cold, or headache - you can get basic medicines at WDW - and the price for the amount most folks would need is just a few dollars at most. Every resort gift shop has all the basics. Plus, I really think that if you plan for getting sick, you will. If you plan for staying well, you almost certainly will. Staying well hydrated is KEY to staying well!

I am bad in that I often bring enough clothes so I don't have to do laundry while at WDW, so I sometimes come home with things I haven't worn. more often than not, I find that I prefer a certain pair of shorts or something, and I wear them twice.

I HATE to carry more than I have to. In the evenings at WDW especially, I try to bring only the items that will fit in my pockets. This makes life SO much easier at WDW! It helps if you wear shorts that have multiple secure pockets! Men's cargo shorts are great (Let him carry the camera!, two water bottles). For me, I strongly prefer shorts (usually kahki type) that have an extra pocket near the knee. I don't want to be bothered digging through a backpack for my cellphone, park ticket, or money (cc card). I also don't want to risk losing them. If I've got them in a secure pocket, then I don't worry and can grab them in a hurry. It also helps if you don't have to deal with a belt, string-tie, or a button that is hard to undo (quick potty breaks!)

If you have a stroller with a basket, then you can bring some extra water, diapers, that sort of thing - but if it's just two adults - you DON't want to have to deal witha bag of any kind. It makes the trip so much more enjoyable if you don't have to worry about remembering a bag everytime you get off a ride.

During cold/rainy weather than you will need a cover -up of some kind. A dark colored sweatshirt witha zip front and a hood is great. going tothe room for long pants is a must some nights, but then you can change for evening.

If your guy doesn't wear sandals, it still makes sense for everyone to bring two paris of walking shoes. No matter how comfortable each pair is, trading shoes can be a lifesaver for tired feet.
