What to Take

[ashliejere]

I thought it might be helpful to start a thread about what to pack/take with us to Disney. The Disney site lists a few things:

* Set of linens and bedding (twin-size sheets, pillow, blanket, towels, etc.)
* TV, VCR, DVD player and a coaxial cable
* Stereo (small)
* Toaster
* Coffee Maker
* Phone card
* Answering machine
* Cordless phone (The phone provided in the apartment has a cord.)
* Cell phone (Check with your current provider for coverage information.)
* Alarm clock
* Beach towel, suntan lotion and/or sunscreen
* Camera and film
* Casual clothing
* Professional clothing (Please refer to the Disney Look Guidelines for assistance.)
* Sweater or jacket
* Dress shoes
* Combination lock for the locker in your bedroom
* Computer with Ethernet card
* Original employment eligibility documents
* Cosmetics and toiletries
* Credit card and traveler’s checks (if available)
* Health insurance information
* Personal medications, including prescription drugs, if needed
* Writing paper, envelopes and pens

Does anyone have anything else to add to the list?

batteries - rechargeable is a good idea
a bag that you can take into the parks and on rides
I'm sure I can come up with others but that really all for right now.

you dont 'need' these but they might be helpful - could also get them down there
some small plastic bowls - they had some but i remember having an issue with them just don't remember what
storage containers for food - i ended up using some plastic cartons from Chinese food since i didn't have any

How about an iron/ironing board? Do the rooms have them, or do I need to bring them?

You can rent Ironing boards and Irons at the club house along with mops, brooms, and vacuums.

My advice to you would to be not to take anything with you that you can buy there.

Save your money and buy cheap things when you get there and sell them on a website like craiglist before you leave.

I packed my entire life to take with me and ended up using maybe half of the things at most.
