Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM Packing clothes is not that difficult. Take the number of days you will be gone, multiply underwear, socks, shorts, and t-shirts by that number, then throw them in the suitcase.

I pulled out my check list for my personal suitcase for your perusal. I will be gone 6 days. 6 pairs of shorts 6 Disney tank tops 6 undies 6 socks Dumbo jammies 1 pair jeans(I don't plan on using them) 1 Mickey Mouse fleece jacket 1 Disney long-sleeved t shirt How tough was that? You have GOT to get goin' here, girlfriend...you leave friday!!!
Originally Posted By mickeynewe I know, I know --- here is what I have packed so far --- the weather has just been so unpredictable! And, I can't wear shorts, so I am hoping to take some light capris and "hope" I don't get burned -- thus the jeans too! 3 pairs of jeans 3 pairs of capris 7 tshirts 3 polos (mickey) 1 sun shirt 1 sweater 1 blouse under garments socks swim suit jammies hat

I think you can ditch a few things from your suitcase. However, if you insist on taking all that, I suggest you sit your cheesburger rear on that suitcase, zip it up and call it good.

Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 How do you ever decide which Disney tank tops and or tee shirts to pack? I can never decide and therefore for a 10 day trip I will pack about 25 shirts. I have not, however, packed any thus far! I am working on the "food" suitcase. (cereal, peanut bars, granola bars, pb crackers, bowls, spoons, tea bags, hot pot, all that stuff. Hopefully it will all get used up to make an empty suitcase for souvenirs.) I never did find the new capri pants I bought. Maybe they'll show up somewhere in Dec. I re-booked the car again! It's down to $179! lol

I will be there tomorrow (no later than 1pm I hope) and will be leaving there on tuesday after breakfast at storytellers - we've never been there so we thought we would try that over goofy!
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Oh yeah I did just pack my stuff so all I need now in the teens - and one is at soccer practice with DD8 and the other is at work - maybe I will just pack them myself!!! Oh and I need to pack shoes for the rest of us!!
Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 I hope I don't get adminned over the hot pot, I just assumed everyone would know it was to heat water for my tea! haha Are you staying at Hojos, too?
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains And we are suppose to believe that!!! I figured hot pot ment you stole Lindsay's pot - oh wait she likes coke!! No we are staying at the radisson maingate - we are Pap's so we get free parking at DL and with the Radisson's online price guarantee we ended up with taxes and their parking right around $63 per night!! (lastminutetravel.com had them for $65 per night {still do}and their sight had the same nights at $85 {now more} - their policy is if you find the same nights for the same rooms for less they will beat the lower price by 25%!!)

She has been so amazingly kind to our family (perfrect strangers except for one chance meeting and the emails we've written since) so it will be fun to spend time with her. I'm so excited! LOL -- except now I have to figure out what to wear for dinner!

Originally Posted By dsnykid OMG.... That's Wonderful!!!! Have an awesome time and take LOADS of pictures. As for the 5 outfits, I have to agree because that's exactly how I am
