yup

I have stuff better than moleskin at work and I forgot to get it,ugh. Will stop by the drug store on the way to the airport.

I packed 10 days worth of clothes hoping not to do laundry but in this heat we probably will. I think my suitcase is going to be over the wt limit.

I didn't pack any long sleeve clothes except my beach robe and a wind breaker. Do you think I need a long sleeve shirt? ,y beach robe is black and I figure if I'm cold I can wear that even if it looks silly

I have $800 in cash to use $80 a day on food which is what the dining plan would've cost us. I think we can do much cheaper because DD still eats kid's meals. My mother thinks I'm insane to bring that much cash. I would use the hotel safe and just take out what I need each day. She thinks I should bring say $400 and charge everything else. What do you think?

 

[wishesuponastar]

I agree with your Mom, I wouldn't even want to bring $400. That's just too much risk that Iwould lose the cash. We charge everything.

Scissors! We brought moleskin and realized we had nothing to cut it with.

Why don't you buy a few Visa gift cards. Not just one, because if you lose it you're out of luck. Or just carry $100 per day, to stick to your budget. I wouldn't carry $400 at a time. You want to protect your cash as best as possible. If you lose a days worth, not a big deal, if you lose the entire trips worth, then what? Or, use a CC and pay it off when you get home, leaving the cash in the bank and safe.

Just some ideas.

When we went in 2011, we were able to put up to $500 cash on our room account instead of a credit card for charges. I'm not sure if you can still do this but it could help with not carrying large amounts of cash.

 

[abmitch01]

I guess I'll bring $2-300 and charge everything on my credit card and keep all the receipts to make sure we stay on track.

A nightlight. We don't normally use them anymore at home but waking up disoriented in a hotel room, it's always nice to have a beacon near the bathroom.

Chewing gum - things may have changed, but they didn't use to sell it at WDW. I like to freshen up with a piece after meals.

Emergen-C

 

[PinnieMouse]

For me it was:

- A backpack instead of a purse...between water and other necessities, my little Vera Bradley just wasn't cutting it!
- Misting fan (cheap one from home instead of the ones sold in the parks!)
- A washcloth or towel to wrap around frozen bottles of water and then use on my neck!
- Disney t-shirts! I had none last year but plenty for my second time around!
All these will be packed for this year!

What I learned to leave at home? Makeup and shoes that just aren't comfortable!

We always bring Travelers Checks, but I guess I'm the only one who does that, LOL! We would put like $300 on our room and charge everything to the room and just check it every few days. We would add more $ as needed. With the TC if they are lost or stolen they will replace them. I leave the receipts at home with the serial numbers in case I did ever lose/get them stolen.

I forgot to pack tylenol.

I was so glad I brought a small folding umbrella to use a parasol against the hot sun!

At the last minute I grabbed a silk undercover neck wallet, too, and ended up using it everyday. Just enough to hold cards and cash, comb, hair elastic, phone, and chopstick. I hate carrying a bag when it is hot out.

I carry cash, too.

 

[abmitch01]

a light weight cardigan for the plane? IDK, I feel like I've way overpacked.
