Hi ladies:

I will be going on vacation soon with my husband, 8 year old son and my 3 year old daughter. We live in Orlando and will be spending our summer vacation this year at one of the Disney Resorts (4 nights 5 days). I want ideas and suggestions. Packing lists and fun ideas you may have. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Something that was a lifesaver on our recent vacation (we only went to the beach, I'm so jealous of you! :)) was a no-slip bathmat for the hotel bathtub, my daughter is one and would most definitely have slipped all over the place in the tub if we hadn't brought it. Have fun!

I'm not sure about your exact accomodations, but one thing I did when my kids were your kids age was to pack a night light for the bathroom. It made it easier for them if they needed to go during the night.

What resort are you staying at? We stayed in the Contemporary Inn and loved it! Do a search of mamapedia and you will find tons of advice on trips to Disney from moms on this site.

Have a great time!

Some of the things I think you should bring you may want to buy them before you get to the resort (probably cheaper) but some you may want to buy them in Disney (like hats) because they are cute
-Fast drying clothes.
-Good hats (with UVA/UVB block)
-Comfortable shoes
-Comfortable socks (if available silk socks too to avoid friction)
-Bandages and especial blister bandages (just in case)
-Small Tupperware (to bring snacks to the park as well to save food that you buy in park, like popcorn)
-Don't forget the camera as well of the charger (and don't forget your cell phone charger too).
-You can by a portable fan (the kids size ones) in there of if you have one bring it with you.
-Bathing suits.
-water proof shoes
-small back pack
-something that your daughter could use as a pillow when she falls sleep at the park (you can rent the stroller but they need something soft to rest their heads.

Plan ahead what parks you are going to go, use the child swap, take rest, reserve as soon as possible if you want to eat in any of the restaurants, talk to your kids on what to do if any get lost, try to save the mayor shops until the last days when they know exactly what the want (I love Snow Withe, 1 hour later, I love Cinderella!) so you know how much is your budget at, to don't have to deal with one of your kids that don't want to stay in the store because is so much left to see.

I packed the mini cereal boxes with plastic bowls and spoons. This saved us so much money on breakfast. I would buy and oj and a milk at the hotel and keep it in the little fridge. I got the meal plan so the other two meals were covered. It was well worth it :)

Bandaids are good to have for blisters... we got a few of those with all of the walking.

Have a great time! I love disney world!
