I always bring _____ to WDW

[KAT1811]

I know these types of threads appear every now and again but I was thinking about what I can do to make my life as easy as possible while in WDW. We are now a fabulous family of 6!!! We will be traveling with our four children this year 12 4 1/2 2 1/2 and will be 7 1/2 months on our trip. We travel to the World every year and have taken the children at just about every ae we've experienced so far. I am always looking for new ways to make life easy and in my experience other travelers are the best resource to probe for ideas.

What do you bring to the World to make life easier for you??? (So that I can bring it with me and make life easier for me! )

For me it is bringing a clear over-the-door shoe organizer. It has been oober helpful the past few trips!!! Keeps the counters clear and everything organized.

I'm really looking forward to everyone's ideas!!!

Baby wipes to get the gooey things off your hands and face

Stain stick to get the chocolate from the Mickey bar off your clothes

A great attitude. No grouches allowed. "Fill my day with fun" rather than "try to do everything"

I always bring My Wife to WDW. lol

That's what my DH would say!

As far as what I need to make things easier . . . DDs daily outfits packed in Ziplock bags. Can't take credit for the tip, got it from someone here on Intercot!

Laudry detergent, first aid kit, tide to go, and wipes...they help inmensely.

[nicster]

ponchos & a plastic bag to put wet ponchos in between indoor & outdoor activities.

[BluewaterBrad]

Ponchos.............just in case

Hand sanitizer......keeps the flu bugs away

Plastic ziplocs for passes, etc..........make sense?

My favorite tip EVER! I use gallon size bags and then reuse them for wet clothing, swim suits, or the soiled night time pull up, etc. My sister taught me this tip years ago when my sons were infants and I shared it here so I might be the OP. And if I'm not? Kudos to the first that shared this amazing tip!

Hand sanitizer and bottled water...We also always bring snacks for the kids to take to the parks...

[Missy_Mouses_Dad]

A small refillable bottle of hand sanitizer. This used to be for DD14, but I have digressed to being the messy one. We also bring along snack items...swedish fish, trail mix, etc. These are great while in lines, etc. Mostly we bring along our "happy faces".

You have 4 kids, I have 5! So, we both will have trouble keeping track of them.
I get the safety tats or any id tattoo online. The have a spot to write your cell number on. Even the older ones ( I have an 11 year old) will benefit if they get scared and forget the number. And for the younger ones ( I include my 6 year old on this also- he wanders) I get those alarm bears for their shoes.
And we also bought a cooler backpack at Target that we use to bring in drinks and it works good if the kids don't eat their grapes or carrot ( we keep them cool for later)!

We have "squeaker" shoes as we call them. I think they are actually made by Pipsqeaks. Every time our little one takes a step she squeaks! Everyone loves them! Luckily my children don't typically wander. But the little one doesn't stand a chance she can't move without us (and everyone around us) knowing about it! LOL! They even make sandals!

I've never heard of the alarm bears. I'll have to check them out.

Bengay and Tylenol!! After a super long day, a nice hot shower, rub bengay all over feet and calves. Next day...good as new!!

Along these same lines - I take an over the closet rod shoe organizer. It has velcroe and you stick it on the rod. I put all our bathroom stuff etc in it. This way, it is next to the sinks.

I also take a power strip. It is easier to keep track of all your electronic items if they are in the same spot. Plus, we don't have to hunt down an outlet for each item.

This is not something I take but something we do (when we drive)...If you are using the in room safe, I put the car keys in the safe - at the end of your trip, you can't leave until you empty out the safe. I guess you can do this with airline tickets etc.

Duct tape

You may laugh, but we have ended up using it at least once on EVERY vacation... It can fix a hem, Attach a clip on fan to a stroller that does NOT want to clip on, we tape the mouse keeping envelope to the bathroom mirror each morning so they dont miss it (yes they have missed it when we dont do this) And when I couldnt find the ID tags for my daughters, i ripped off a piece, used a sharpee to write my cell phone #, and stuck it on the back of my girls shirts in case "I " got lost. *(they never knew it was on the back of their shirts, and they would NEVER leave it on the front of their shirts) Duct tape is one of my favorite inventions EVER!

My camera . . . and lots of memory cards!!!

[Basket Mommy]

When my kids were younger they were afraid of the automatic toilets in the World. We'd put a tiny sticky note pad in our backpack, then rip one off to cover the sensor so it wouldn't flush before we left the stall. After the kids were done and washing their hands, we'd take the sticky note off and toss it. My husband wanted to use 1 cent stamps instead (they're cheaper per use) but I was always afraid a stamp would be harder to peel off of the sensor.

Your post has me giggling about the father in My Big Fat Greek Wedding using Windex for everything! Duct Tape is YOUR Windex!

[FriendsofMickey]

I'll post more later, but wanted to share a tip I heard yesterday while I am thinking about it. For those who have little ones that are afraid of the auto toilet. Painters tape. Put two small pieces on the sensor light. (PIainters tape is easily removed).

I had heard of the stickie notes, but I would guess the tape would be cheaper, not sure.

My DW! I can't imagine going to Wlat Disney World without her!
I never forget to pack my 'inner child' too!
