Help! I have to pack! NO!

I am perhaps the worlds worst packer. I have yet to go somewhere without forgetting something (put it this way, on my wedding day I forgot my wedding dress and had to go back to the apartment and get it ). We are leaving Friday to WDW and I have not even started to think about what to pack. I did however grab my luggage out of the closet and it is being used as a bed by my two cats.. so, anyone have any suggestions on what to pack? Our flight lands at 6am on Saturday and we leave the next Saturday at 7am. Help!

Re: Help! I have to pack! NO!

I always start with a list. That way you can cross things off as you place them in your suitcase and avoid forgetting everything!

I split my list into sections ie: pants, shoes, toiletries, etc. and then write down which pairs of pants or shoes or other things I want to bring. It has really helped me to avoid forgetting things.

Re: Help! I have to pack! NO!

You are going to need one owfit per day, two spare owfits...and...

1 light jacket or sweatshirt
3 sets of PJ's
undergarments for each day plus one extra
2 swim suits
a cover-up
a beach towel
one pair of socks for each day plus 2 spare pairs
2 walking shoes
flip flops or sandals
one dressier owfit for a dinner if you are going out, out one night
shampoo
conditioner
hair products that you use daily
blow dryer and any other style-stuff
make-up and personal items you may need
any kind of medications you take daily
benedryl and asprin
sun block
aloe
chap stick
bug spray
tooth paste and brush....floss too!
razor and shaving cream
q-tips and cotton balls..
bandaids, neosporin and burn cream and second skin for blisters!
robe and slipper if you use them
extra duffle bag that is empty so you can bring extra stuff home!
credit cards, travel checks, id's etc
copies of all your travel reservations, ADR and ground transportation information
Emergency numbers, cell phone, phone cards
postage stamps and address book
camera, film, spare batteries or whatever you use.
I'll think of more..I'm sure

Make a packing list. check off the items as you pack them. Throw the list in the suitcase and use it as a check off when you repack on your departure day....that way you can check it off again so you don't leave anything behind.

My list (between me, DH and DS) is about 4-5 pages long - it also has various notes on it. I would never post the complete list on here because you people would definately commit me to an insane asylum.

I also pack was more than 1 extra pair of under garments for each of us.....I just have to; don't ask me why!

I knew that couldn't be your complete list! It is more of a beginners list - you are waaaaaay beyond that stage!

BTW - How does Ancora sound?

Re: Help! I have to pack! NO!

Huh? I pick some clothes up off the floor, smell them, and throw them in a trash bag. Have you seen 'Tommy Boy'? Him coming home from college, that's me going away.
