Mobile Have I forgotten anything?

Hi,
First time going to Florida as an adult and head away in 5 weeks with my Mum. My husband always kept me organised, but I’m learning to do it on my own since he passed... so what have I forgotten?
I’ve got my Esta, spending money, landys card, and have booked ADRs and fast passes.
We’re going with a travel agent and staying in a Disney hotel so DDP and tickets etc are organised.
As for packing I’ve got suntan lotion and all the regular toiletries and comfy clothes/shoes and I’m taking my phone for photos.
Anything else?
Thank you in advance to keeping me right!

Oh good thinking! Yes, I booked that with the TA, but should probably look out that paperwork!
Thank you

I wish! We’re going with Tui, so have their bus from Sanford (very jealous of trip reports where people are jumping on the Magical Express though! )

It's just a bus. Bus that takes you to WDW. But still just a bus.

With the insurance, I tend to put the emergency number in my phone. That way if something happens that is likely to lead to a claim, I'm not worrying about where I put the paperwork, or trying to get back to the hotel to get the number.


Have you got some sort of power pack for your phone to keep it charged during the day. Especially if you're going to be using it for your photos as well.

Random thoughts for you...

Neurofen.
Travel kettle and tea bags.
Cheap plastic coat hangers.
A little pop up box to dump Magic Bands, watches,
purses, jewellery in. No losses or dramas and keeps the room tidy.
Travel adaptor plug.
Paper photocopies of your travel documents, passport.
Neurofen.
Have a great trip with your mum 🙂

It sounds like you have everything covered. A few things I like to take are neurone, plasters and compete blister stick (worth it's weight in gold!) as well as body glide for any areas that may chafe like your inner thighs or around your bra.

A park bag and sunglasses are also must haves for me.

Hope you have a blast x

How you getting to the airport? Taxi, driving or train ? Have you booked airport parking if driving there? Taxi booked or train tickets bought?

Thank you so much! So many great ideas! Good thinking bout the power pack and all those little extras.
Luckily I live close to the airport so I can get a bus there, but as the flight gets us in early we’ve booked a hotel to sleep in as soon as we land.
Thank you so much for your great ideas! It’s making me feel calm when I’ve already done something and when I’ve got stuff to get it’s being ordered online right away so I don’t forget!
