Packing for Walt Disney World

Now, I have a tried and tested theory about packing for Disney...do not over pack. Just don't. You will not have room to bring home souvenirs or Goofy's Candy treats. You won't need those all of those bandaids or asprin (Disney first-aid has all of that...for free). You will eat way more than you plan on in the park and half of those granola bars and poptarts will get left behind for housekeeping. Take them...just not a months supply!

I promise...less is more.
 
Here is my personal packing list. I am up for suggestions and tips!! I am all about carrying as minimal amount as possible!

 I have also color coordinated what gets put where and I have separate list additions for when I travel with the kids or for a race weekend :)


Edit: Ladies...I have not mentioned make-up or purse...these things should be a part of you ;)

That should be it! We have always either rented a car and shopped at Target for a case of water (and sometimes a box of wine) or we have one delivered. We have used Garden Grocer and Staples in the past. Never buy water in Disney.

I love to compare lists...my mothers is much longer than mine ;) What do you always take that isn't on my list??

Update: I have read that some of the laundry rooms are updated to use credit cards that you can just slide into the machines?! I'm still not sure if you need change for the soap. I'd still take some in case..
