(I say D'land because I've never been to WDW, but feel free to share!)

I always have to have sunscreen, wet wipes and hand sanitizer in my bag when I go to the park. Oh, and a bottle of water.

What about you? :)

Purell, wipes, band-aids, Tide to Go, Tums, cell phone, wallet....

Sunscreen and extra clothes go in the stroller :)

Besides my ticket, I have to have my camera, change for penny presses, pen and paper and then like others have said - suncreen, cell phone and wallet.

I've modified my list from this post (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?p=1006546&highlight=diaper#post1006546) slightly:

change of clothes for 3-y/o, sweatshirts for older boys. Sometimes I'll bring extra pants for the 6-y/o (history lesson there..)
diapers, wipes, ointment.
snacks, sometimes. Always: small ziplocks. Among other things, I can divide up a container of popcorn or fruit or a bag of pretzels, etc.
children's tylenol and motrin - Two of my boys have had febrile seizures. CFA has been a great lifesaver if I didn't have my own but they only dose based on bottle recommendations which underdose these products.
autograph books with pens
camera, extra battery
bandaids
sippy cup for 3-y/o (sometimes)
water if we're not bringing camelbaks
sunscreen
adult ibuprofen
hand sanitizer


The 2 & 5-y/os are now 3 & 6. I reorganized the list. If the kids aren't coming I skip everything up to "water". I also tend to have a pile of MousePlanet buttons in my backpack if the kids aren't with me because we're more likely to run into people that want or 'need' one.

Oh, and I usually have lotion and lip balm, too. ETA: oh, and gum.

Now that the kids are older, you would think the backpacks would get lighter!:rolleyes:

*Sunscreen
*Water
*Motrin
*Burt's bees
*Sunglasses
*Snacks like pretzels
*Sweatshirt
*Camera
*Lanyards

We try to travel light since we grew out of strollers years ago, but things just accumulate--I think it's better to be prepared.

Some kind of tissue. Between the kids, chocolate, and my glasses, they are a necessity.

Sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bottle of water.

Credit cards, money, change for the penny press.

And, because of my health problems, two epi pens and an asthma inhaler. :rolleyes: Fun stuff.

The hand sanitizer is a MUST now. MrPooh accidently got his hand into some gross stuff on the hand rails not once but twice on the same trip. Once at DL and once at Universal. Thank GOD I had hand sanitizer on hand! Now, when we pack, he makes double sure I have it! :D

Oh yes, forgot kleenex and migraine meds!! I couldn't think of anything worse than having a migraine while at DL. This time around I'm definitely bringing change for the penny machines and Ziplocs. I might have to bring a book, like someone said, just for those times I'm waiting in line or for others who are in line for a ride I'm not going on.

This is fun to see what everyone brings with them.

Yeah, I always have migraine meds on hand. And allergy meds, tylenol, that kind of thing. Just in case.

I never go anywhere without my Aquaphor. For hands, lips, sunburn, whatever. ;)

Oh yeah. Well, it's not in my bag, so I guess it didn't belong on this list.

Actually the only bag I carry is for my camera.

Sorry to intrude. :D

Oh yeah, I take a notebook for trip notes, too! My bag is going to be heavier this time around with all these ideas.

I travel light when it comes to DL. I have a very small purse just for DL trips. I don't even bring my wallet. This purse has a "built-in" wallet area to which I transfer my:

Driver's license
Medical Ins. card
Annual pass
Debit/Credit card & some cash

I also toss in a few individually wrapped hand wipes, mints, and my Nars Multiple all-in-one makeup stick.

My kids are old enough now to carry their own bag/fanny pack with their "necessities" (penny press & autograph books, etc.). :D

Just the necessities:

- Park hoppers
- Camera
- Money
- Room key
- Lip gloss
- Hand sanitizer
- Gum
- Sunglasses

I know I'm probably forgetting something, but the bottom line is I try not to take very much. Every year I say I'm going to take a small notebook to record the details, but that just never happens. Maybe this time.
