No we don't have a car as none of us are confident enough to drive over there!

Last year I got a horrendous cold and was really struggling. A cast member suggested us popping to Walgreens to stock up on relief but our only option was an Uber which would have cost us quite a bit to get there and then get back. It ended up working out cheaper to buy bits from the hotel store, but still not ideal

For example cough sweets over here are like 80p, in the hotel shop they were 2 dollars a pack!

I had never considered taking duct tape / parcel tape but coming home from Orlando last year the zip on one of our cases broke completely . We managed to get some parcel tape from a guy in customer services (after i told him i wasn't looking to claim anything ! ),just needed something to keep all the contents of the case from spilling out.If I go on holiday again would definitely have some in my bag.
Also definitely take Tetley teabags 😀

Or just get an international usb charger. No need for extensions.

Same here! We always have a hire car so its easy to pop the supermarket if we need anything.

"Travel light" is my motto!

The one I have is the Anker PowerCore 10000 - it's definitely heavier than my previous, but I can get at least 2-3 full charges out of it, and we have 2 phones and USB-powered fans with us so I don't mind a little extra bulk. Plus I've decided to forego the separate camera and just use my phone, so the weight trades out in the end! There are smaller models available, it will just depend on your phone habits!

First aid kit goes on every holiday. It's easy enough to buy things wherever you go, but when you've got a cracking headache, or your child has just fallen over and grazed their knee, you don't really want to have to wait for someone to go to the shops to buy supplies. Just find it much easier to bring a stock of commonly/frequently used items with me and then buy anything out of the ordinary if needed.

I say this because I am a clumsy individual, and my DD seems to have inherited the same trait from me! lol

If you’re staying in a Disney hotel we found the extension lead, hanging fold up shelves and a mini circular clothes airer to hang in bathroom for swim wear invaluable 😊
