My brother!
In a variance from some other posts, I find bringing snacks along a must (or buying them in the Orlando area). But then again, I travel with DH and no children. Anyway, we'd rather bring in some of our regular, healthier food--at cheaper prices--than snack and snack on all that sugar. We get more than enough of that in the parks, anyway. (Of course, we're older and feeling the need to avoid gaining too much poundage on vacation, 'cuz it doesn't want to come off quite so quickly anymore.) And there's the convenience of a quick snack, available, NOW, when the mood hits. I have traveled with children before, though, and most of the ones I've been with seem to appreciate having their favorite snacks along--especially after the first day. Each family to their own habits, I suppose.
Too many clothes and shoes. I would bring 6 pairs of shoes and end up wearing two pairs the entire trip.I am running out of space in our van for our 11 day trip. I think I have everything I could possibly need-- except we need space too! And I don't want our room at POP to be full of stuff because we have 4 people plus a baby in an already-small room! Have you ever wasted space by bringing things you didn't need after all?
Just got back on Sunday and I am already making note of what NOT to bring on the next trip. Some to mention are, no food or snacks other than for the car ride down and some pop tarts and nutrigrain bars for the quick morning bites. I will not be bringing my toaster or hot spot nor the baby highchair. No pillows from home other than one or two for in the car. One pair of shoes and one pair of sandals only per person. Only 1 beach towel. No magna doodles, gameboys, or toys at all for the kids. The didn't touch the ones I brought this time. Also, less clothes. Two pajamas, 3-4 pairs of shorts, a shirt for everyday and a couple extra days worth of socks and undies is enough. No hair dryer and every kind medicine possible is not necessary.
Ok, When you say no hairdryer...what resort are you staying @?? My sister said the same thing "I can't believe that you want to take a hair dryer" I have LONG,THICK hair & DD has REALLY long hair...we are staying at CBR, So I just want to be sure b4 I go out & do or don't buy one.
