How much to pack
Looking for advice on how much to pack please. We're onsite at AKL for 2 weeks and aren't adverse to doing a wash when we're there. It's me, DW and DS x 2 (10&8).
Its tops, pants and socks we're not sure of. Considering... 7 t shirts/ tops, 7 undies and 7 socks each and wash halfway through (maybe have to do 2 depending on timing) 10 shirts/ undies and socks and definitely wash once, but can do it early hols Or 14 of everything and not do a wash. What does everyone else do? |

We always do at least one wash. I pack a universal case with just universal tees which isn't intended to be washed, and a Disney case with 1/2 the number of outfits we need, we spend a lazy afternoon (couple of hours) at the hotel doing a wash before heading back to the parks. Just remember that less you pack, the more you can bring home 😁 x

We take enough for 10 days and then I spend an afternoon doing some washing while kids are in the pool. Find it too much stuff to take for 2 weeks.

The laundry room at AKL is really close to the pool, handy for a bit of washing! I tend to do a wash one evening halfway through the trip.

We wash every other day. However my Wife still took 12 pairs of sandals and probably 20 tops from Next plus a load of strappy tops and 7 dresses.

We got back this morning, and unpacked our cases this afternoon. None of us wore half the clothes that we'd taken with us
We were in a villa, so it was easy to wash whenever we felt the need, and it dried off on the clothes line in the garage in a matter of hours. Deb

I'd go for the 10 day or the 7 with more underwear. It will be hot and you will sweat. The children might get messy, ice cream can melt fast!
You may need more than one outfit per day. We used the afternoon pool time to do laundry, and I did 2 loads over a 2 week holiday. As Disney has the laundry app, you can see how many machines are available, how long your wash has left to go etc it is bliss not having to get up off the lounger or out the pool to check on laundry progress. |

I'm cutting down this year, with a view to buying a few new bits / bobs out there and wear them during the hols like t shirts, new trainers. Going to plan for 7 days and wash!

Love the laundry app! Just wish those using the machines would either use it or keep a note of the time the program takes instead of just leaving their washing in the machine or dryer sometimes for a considerable time. Very inconsiderate!
