Last Minute! Give me your best last minute planning tip!

Okay... I think I have everything...

We are staying at All Star Movies...

Give me your best last minute planning tip...

Maybe the one thing you always forget or the item that you wanted to do but forgot last time...

woohoo · 11-29-2004

my advice is to bring a digital camera- even a cheap one if you have to. You can take as many pics as you want and see what you have before you leave. You can also edit them once you get home. I would scrimp on many things in order to have my digital camera there!!!

**MissDisney** · 11-29-2004

My advice is to make a lot of PS before you leave the house... have a lunch PS at one park and a late dinner at another park, also an early dinner outside the parks (os some other combination) for each and every day. That way, you have total flexibility and you can just cancel the PS you don't end up needing! I try to do a variety of parks at a variety of times, too... you never know whatthe weather will bring, or where your mood will take you, and it'sbetter to have PS!

Have fun! O wait...you were going to do that anyway...umm..ok...let's see...Have fun and wear comfortable shoes!...lol

Don't forget a small nightlight. Cause when you leave the bathroom light on, man, it is a beacon at 2:00 am.

Have fun

Buzz & Woody · 11-29-2004

nightlight, pack some powdered laundry soap if you plan to wash any clothes, a big garbage bag for all of the dirty clothes to go in, a cell phone or walkie-talkies, kleenex for when you walk in the park and start to cry, sun hats, flip-flops for walking to the pool,

Kippage · 11-29-2004

Baby Wipes. Preferably the travel packets. We keep them in a shoulder bag and use them to refresh (face and arms) throughout hot days. (note: even in the winter it can be hot and muggy in Florida)

And when you buy souvenirs, send them back to your hotel. Stayed offsite last visit and had to carry around the items we bought. Ugh.

woohoo · 11-29-2004

oooooh liking the laundry soap thing!!!! Ill do that! I already have fabric sheets there so the suitcase stays fresh!!!

tiki · 10-05-2006

what's a ps?

Andrea · 10-05-2006

If you look at the date, you'll see this is a very old thread.

PS is "priority seating". They don't use that anymore, now they call them "Advanced Dining Reservations", or ADRs.

Oh - and I thought MickeyRon had come back!

chris24 · 10-05-2006

a really good pair of sneakers and extra socks.....

jk8 · 10-05-2006

wait a minute, I thought you already had a trip this year?!

My last minute advice is do some liitle things you normally would not do at the parks.

noahsark45331 · 10-05-2006

go into the building just inside Main Street, where Tony's is at. Go into the back where they show old Disney cartoons and have all these different cut-outs that you can get your picture taken with. DS and I did this last trip when it started raining. We had the best time and have some really funny pictures.

CarolinaTilt · 3 Weeks Ago

Carboard Cuttouts is a great idea!!! We have dinner at Tony's and could do this before our meal. Thanks!!!
