    Extra socks! Our socks got wet and dried really stiff. We had extra, so many extra pairs, but we still ran out and had to do laundry. Never enough clean, dry socks for us.

    Plus, camera batteries. Really expensive to buy in parks. And, most especially, the cheap rain ponchos, less than a dollar each and easy enough to just throw away as needed (ours were eighty-eight cents at Wal*Mart).

    Disposable bibs and disposable sippy cups. Not carrying dirty bibs around and cleaning cups at the end of the night and worrying about the kids favorite cups getting lost.

    Snacks! Me and my mom will be going this time without Disney dad, and he always insists that we eat those nasty fat hotdogs! Snacks were our lifesaver last time!

    12 days, 4 hours and 40 minutes til we leave for WDW!

    Pipe cleaners and bubbles. The pipe cleaners for TS when the kids need to be occupied and quiet. The girls made crowns. Bubbles for standing in line or fixing melt downs.

    Zip lock bags.You just never know when you'll need them! I also bought a pair of Disney Crocs down there and I wear them everywhere,no blisters,and if they get wet,they dry very quickly.Your feet don't sweat in them either.

    Question: Can you take little fans on planes? I have to have a fan at home in order to be able to sleep, but wasn't sure if I could take one on the plane. Thanks!

    Default Hats!

    Hats for everyone?

    My BF always wears a hat to protect his "shiny" head, but I never wore one until last trip. You know, typical "girl" reasons.... It will ruin my hair, It will make my head sweat more.

    Last trip we went in May and I broke down and got a straw hat with a brim all the way around and I felt so much better with the additional shade for my eyes and face and neck. I had always used sunglasses, but the hat kept so much more sun out of my eyes.

    LOL!

    We women and our vanity. We are sometimes our own worst enemies.

    Don't even get me started on the fools I see in HIGH HEELS walking around Disney!

    Our room at the POFQ had a ceiling fan. I'm not sure if all the resorts do, but I know I've seen pictures of several that have ceiling fans. Makes all the difference in the world!

    An extra pair of contact lenses AND my glasses. Missing on on the spectacular beauty of the Grand Canyon because you can only see clearly out of one eye, was a real bummer for me!!

    I have to agree with this 100%! I also make sure I bring an unopened bottle of contact lens solution, that way I can be positive I won't run out 1/2 thru the trip.
