The one major thing is not to be put on a packing list, but a to do list. If you are driving to Disney and need to have your drivers license renewed before going, you can have this done a few months ahead. We found out the hard way, changes that have been made in the system. We were going down in August 2008, my husband needed his license renewed. We went 2 weeks before leaving and found out they cross reference your name to a list of people who have outstanding warrents or tickets. Long story short, his name is Jerry Lewis and he was flagged, it took the 2 weeks to prove it was not him, we got the letter 24 hours before leaving telling us he could go get his license.
Really?? That's crazy!! With all the identification you provide it should be simple to figure out WHICH Jerry Lewis he is! My DH gets flagged every time he makes a gun purchase (he's a hunter) and he has to wait the 3 days. Same thing -same name as or very similar to someone who is NOT allowed to purchase a gun. But those aren't necessities like a drivers license! What an inconvenience. And people wonder how "victimless" (no such thing) crimes affect us all. It's the little things...
