Packing for the Trip
| Wed, 04-11-2007 - 8:04pm |
Hi Girls.... I know I have some time before my trip - but I was wondering what are some of the things that I should make sure I pack.

If you Google "Disney packing list", there are some great ones out there. I know there have been a few great threads on this here, too....I'll see if I can find them for you.
I have a spreadsheet for my family that I use every year so I don't forget anything. Some of the less obvious items on my list are clothespins, various sizes of ziploc bags, and disposable rain ponchos.
** I was just thinking of something else I bring for my 3 year old. A cup with a straw that I can throw in my backpack. I love the "First Years" disposable ones....even though I wash them and reuse. Animal Kingdom restaurants do not have straws or cups with lids, and that is a recipe for disaster with my little one. I try to remember to bring my own when we visit that park!

Here's a link to a thread here....it shows a free "universal packing list" website that's pretty neat.

I probably can't add much to the packing list, but here is my little "unpacking" hint for when you get back:
I keep a Disney bag. Just a plastic bag from one of the gift shops, and I keep the kids autograph books, lanyards, fanny packs, sunglasses (they have Disney sunglasses), ponchos,and anything else that we only use on our Disney trips, and I pack them in the bag. I put the bag with our suitcases. This way, when we plan our next trip, I'm not hunting all over the house for the stuff we usually bring with us!
Marcy
Marcy, that is a great idea! I will steal that one for sure. Somehow items get lost in the kids' bedrooms, and I really should keep them in one place.
We have all of our pins in a shadow box, hanging in our game room. I figured that was the only way to keep track of those little suckers from year to year around here! It looks pretty on the wall anyway....it's a Disney-themed room.

Here's a link to a word document from mousesavers that I am using for our trip.

I haven't revisited the old thread or the link, so a lot of this may be repeated again.
I have a Disney box at home like Marcy's bag! LOL Since we drive, I just keep the stuff in a rubbermaid with the suitcases. It has the girls lanyards, some trading pins, the bag Kait likes to carry in the park, our day bag backpack, hand held fans, some crystal lite water flavor, 3 M&M mini tubes, the not yet full, 2 packs of travel lysol wipes, extra sunglasses, crayons, stickers, playdoh, laundry sacks, travel size laundry detergent and fabric softner (in double ziploc bags). As the trip gets nearer I'll start tossing food stuff in the box also, like cocoa, coffee, crackers, fruit leather, trail mix etc as well as small things I pick up 'from Tinkerbell' for the girls.
