Don't forget to pack these items before leaving to Disney

     Before our WDW vacay, I try to make a list of everything I need to pack weeks in advance.  We all know to pack our clothes, shoes and beauty products but some items you may not even think of taking.  Here is a list.

1) Power strip-You know how the resort rooms have a limited number of plug ins.  If you are like me, you take a lot of items that need to be charged.  I always take my cell phone and my husband's, digital camera, video camera and lap top.  If you count that is 5 items.  It is hard to find 5 accessable plug ins in the rooms.  Just plug in your power strip and all electronics are being charged in one area.
2) A bright colored cloth or hankerchef for the stroller.  As you know there are hundreds of strollers being used at Disney.  When you get on a ride you park your stroller in the designated area but when you come off the ride, your stroller may be moved.  The Cast Members are always re arrangeing the strollers to maximize the space.  If you but a brightly colored cloth tied to the handle, your stroller will be recognizable more quickly, especially if you rent a stroller from Disney. 
3) Decoration for your resort room window.  Especially if you stay in a value resort, there will be a lot of rooms that you will pass before you get to your room.  To make it much easier to find your room, decorate your window.  The kids will love it.  You can find clings for windows or you just make your own decorations by cutting out your favorite character or if you are at the parks during a holiday, use holiday decorations.  Don't forget the tape.  You can also get the mini lights that are found during Christmas to outline the window.  You can find many things to decorate with at your local dollar store.  The kids will love helping to decorate and will have fun to help locate their room on their way back from the parks.

     What items are on your packing list other than the usual?
