Packing for Disney :)

Hey guys! It's been awhile and I apologize for that but I have been so busy with work and getting things ready for my trip while still making time to hold onto commitments made to friends so blogging has been the very last thing on my to do list and it is quite a list. Any ways, I wanted to do a post on what to pack for Disney and instead of using pictures, because lets face it that would take forever! .. I'm just going to make this a checklist. Like I said in my last post, this isnt my first rodeo when it comes to Disney I have been many times but I still have to make detailed check lists and I mean DETAILED. If I could sum up my myself in two words it'd be list maker, I make them all day everyday. However I'm not going to post my version because I want this one to be user friendly. Now, lets get started! So we all know the essentials such as clothes shoes under garments but what about the things we over look or just don't think to bring? Well, no worries I have remembered it for you! You may not need all of this but its just to give you some ideas if you're racking your brain on what to bring or to remind you of some items you might've overlooked. Feel free to copy or print this out for your trip to Disney :)
