Just thought I would bump this thread up since some of us are getting ready to start packing. Thought someone might have some fresh ideas!!

I just added a travel sized toothpaste. I was going to bring the regular sized tube, but it's like four times the size! I'd rather spend the dollar & have more space.

Also, while I was throwing the toothpaste in there, I saw I have mini shampoo & conditioner in the "bathroom bag". I forgot i had those in there, so I'm more prepared than I thought!

We aren't going to Disney until next April, but did just return from Florida (for a wedding) a couple weeks ago. I transferred a lot of stuff to my box for next year.

Beach Towels
Over the door shoe organizer
Hooks for the organizer (in case I want to hang it someplace other than the bathroom door).
Rain ponchos (bought at Wal Mart for 1.00 each, I always buy multiples because they are so cheap)
Moleskin
Powerstrips (2)
Purex 3-n-1 sheets
Safety pins
Tooth brush coves
Lint Roller
Ear Plugs (my dd is sensitive to loud noises)
Mini sewing kit
Eye glass repair kit
Duct tape
Autograph books (2)
Sharpies
Mini sizes of shampoo and conditioner (usually receive free)
DD Lanyard with disney pins for trading

I have also started a planning binder for the trip. We have already changed the date and where we are staying so having this binder is very helpful.

LOL Bop it!!!NOOOO!!!

I have a travel size fan I have to take on every trip, I hate white noise so this stops that...This is the 1st thing that I pack

 

[RumpleMom]

I really love having an Owner's Locker. It makes packing so easy. I even have a crockpot in it.

A Nightlight!

That suttle glow from the bathroom has saved many stubbed toes and bruised shins!!!

Great lists everybody! Thanks for sharing!

 

[katiekoester]

newserenity, I am feeling you!!! It's my DDs first trip as well and I have officially gone to the dark side when it comes to OCD planning. Have every outfit, hair pretty, and pair of shoes planned for all 4 of us for every day. Whoever thought of etsy should be given a medal

Thank you! I am feeling better now that I'm not alone!

My DH may possibly pass out when he sees all the stuff I got. He has so far only seen the girls gowns to wear to CRT. He will probably be like," WTH is all this?" LOL

Last year (my first yr.) at POP, I made a "note to self" to bring a bunch of cheap plastic hangers (with &/or without pants-ledge)to use for various things in the very underused closet space next to the bathroom when extra space is such a much needed necessity for me.
i.e.: clothes that don't fit in 4 drawers
clothes that get wrinkled
damp towels
damp bathing suits
lanyards
etc., etc., etc.
You can throw them out/ leave them when you go home.

You don't have to take up extra space by packing extra hangers. If you are at any Disney resort, just call housekeeping and ask for more hangers. No problem.

Bathrooms have the line to pull at the shower for wet suits and you can leave your wet towel from the pool at the pool.

Bathrooms have the line to pull at the shower for wet suits

I've only stayed on property once, at SSR, and didn't discover this line. Can someone tell me where this line is in most bathrooms? Thanks!

It is attached to the wall of the tub/shower - and you pull it out and bring it to the other side of the tub/shower - hang your suits to dry !
(I have used it at SSR.)
