Countdown to Disney……packing

    Packing for a vacation literally takes me weeks. I have already started packing for this trip. I like to keep Rubbermaid containers in my bedroom and as I am doing laundry come across things that I KNOW need to go with us, I place them in the container. I have a second container that I use for other things, ponchos, fans, park bags, etc. As I come across those things (or as Amazon delivers things), I mark them off my list and they go in the container. Since this trip is a surprise, I am packing for everyone, not just the littlest of littles.  I decided to use Gallon Ziploc bags to organize everyone’s clothes each day. This is helping me make sure I have an outfit per person per day and I can label the bag for the kids to grab each day on their own as they are getting ready for the day. I am excited to see how this works out for us. 

My packing list does keep getting longer and longer somehow. Every time I think I have thought about it all, I see another idea about something Disney vacation related that I add to the list. But my work in progress is going well so far:
