What to pack each day?

[luvdsny]

Last year we got a lot of info. out of a similar thread. We discussed what sort of 'pack' we all took to the parks each day and what all we packed it with.

I've pulled out the suitcases and put them on the guest bed and I'm ready to study my packing list.

So, what does your BIG packing list look like and what do you take to the parks each day?

I'll come back on and list my sh, er, um, I mean I'll list my stuff a little later. Need to do a couple chores first.

Things I'm definitely taking each day....

Camera
Video camera
Hand gel
Tissues (and ALOT of those!!!!)
money
pen
autograph book maybe
water bottle maybe
rain poncho maybe cause i really wanted a 100 years one last year when we were there but i couldn't justify buying one when i already had a mickey one!!!
extra pair of socks in a ziplock bag
small thing of powder for my tootsies
maybe small snacks

My foot care kit. I forgot to take it with me on my cruise and I was very sorry. I will have a small ziplok bag with some mole skin, blister gels and a couple of bandaids along with me in my waist pack. I suppose I will have to precut the moleskin or carry my tiny little scissors in my pocket so they don't stop me at the security station before entering the parks They don't check your pockets though.

Lip balm with sunscreen

For Tia: all blue denium shirts

Speaking of which, I will only put photos of Tia in a denium shirt in the DIS Con slide show.

Contents of my waistpack- AP, room key(charge card), ibuprofen, pepcid, lip balm, sunglasses, and a few dollars. I travel light

[luvdsny]

Okay, I still can't answer this yet....but.....for Barry I bought a NEW denim shirt for DIS-Con yesterday. LOL

I'm going to carry as little as possible into the parks. Definitely a water bottle, tickets, cash, credit cards.....that's about it.

duplicate post, sorry!

O.K....you're not going to believe how much junk that I carry...lol.

This week, I found this clip-on koozie, made for beer bottles, but the perfect shape for my water bottle. I think that I'll carry this. That WDW neck, water-bottle carry thing was always to small to fit over my big fat head...lol.

I do have a "Eagle Creek Sidekick" waist pack(fanny pack) that I wore last year. It was dark green and I bought it as advice from Deb Wills site.

It has one open pouch in front, just perfect for all the WDW Guidemaps. That's actually one of the reasons that I bought it...lol.

Then it has three full-width zippered compartments.

In the largest rear compartment, I line up my disposable camera, my extremely compact and collapsable umbrella(for quick rains), my brand new Verizon Free-up cell phone(it will hold 200 phone numbers and names. I bought it for emergencies, but I plan on using it at WDW), and a disposable $1.00 rain poncho for long downpours), medicine, chewing gum. Yes it all fits side by side...lol, except for the poncho, Rx, and gum.

The middle section has some mesh sections for my wallet(WDW Annual Pass, credit card, I.D., MVMCP tickets, cash). A section for a plastic pencil, note pad. A zippered section for coins, a detachable thingie for car and resort keys, clip-on sunglasses.

And front section for receipts or stuff.

I also carry a collapsable cane in case I feel like I may collapse...lol.

I try not to carry anything in my pockets.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Maybe me doth carry to much...lol.

Ray maybe it wouldn't be so bad
if you didn't carry a redundant back up
of everything you listed in the second post

 

[dalepool]

Not sure of the fanny packs as they always end up in the front------making my tummy pack look way to large. Back surgery puts a damper on the back pack----Thanks for this post. I'm now so depressed---I may have to hire someone to carry my junk. ( DH uses an EVC so I usually just pack him down like a pack llama) Carrying my own stuff this will be something new---.

See you in Dec.

Depends on what I am planning to do. Most days I travel VERY light - carrying my AP, Credit Card, Drivers License, and some cash in a slim waterproof card holder on a neck lanyard. If I need something... I either purchase it or wait until I am back at the room to take care of it.

If the weather is "iffy" or if I plan to take pictures... then I will wear a fanny pack and stuff the above mentioned card holder in (don't carry a big old wallet around), plus a very small walmart disposable rain poncho ($ 0.98 at Walmart!) and my very small digital camera.

I really prefer to go without a fanny pack - because I think being hands free and unencumbered is much more like "childhood". And when I am in the parks... I love to play like a child.

 

[DaveH]

I have my room key, tickets and an ID. Sometimes a Credit card. Cash and autograph book and pen in my waist pack. I have a small camera bag that I can put on my belt. In it my digital camera, extra memory, extra batteries. I carry a park map also.

Ha. (Zurg says in his best high school taunt)

I don't bother with a map, I know my way around the parks (well not AK)

 

[Fantasia Sam]

Well I bought a fanny pack today (bum bag as we say here in the UK) but I guess really it is a waist pack.

Patty I don't mind wearing mine at the front because actually it hides my slightly on the large side belly.............oh who am I kiddin' actually it fits real snug between my two bellies LOL I'm not proud!!!

 

[luvdsny]

Okay, let's see....I don't care for bum bags fanny packs or waist packs because I am proud and I like to think that I'm HIDING my 2 bellies. j/k I just don't care for them.

Before last year I had never been to a Disney park without a stroller and diaper bag so it was a real treat to travel so lightly! I had a small backpack purse that I threw on my back and forgot about for most of the day. It allowed me to carry my lunch trays with both hands.

However...and here is my eternal problem ...I found that my backpack purse was a wee bit too small for all of my sh, er, um stuff. So this year, I'm looking for a bigger purse! I have had this 'purse problem' since I was 2 (basically since I was old enough to carry a purse! ).....I like to have everything with me! I'm a 'my stuff' kind of gal I guess.

I need/want/desire/must have my room key, cash, credit cards, cell phone and car charger (in case I end up in someone's car), wetwipes, tissue, lipstick, pictures of family, eye glasses and case, eye glass cleaner, LIME GREEN RIBBON, poncho, pen, flashlight, floss , gum, mirror, brush, hair pony-holder, Advil and TUMS, Q-tips, lotion, camera, film, batteries, and maps. If I've forgotton anything, I'll be sure to add it.

Now my packing list......is waaaaaay too long. That will have to be another post.
