Arriving at the World 3 weeks from today!

Hi Everyone:

I never thought we would get this close

I haven't done anything in terms of lists, packing, purchasing things we may need, etc.

What do you typically do 3 weeks out to get ready for the most magical place on earth?

Thanks,
Carole

I actually pull out the bags and start making sure we all have enough clothes to make it without having to wash. I also go buy the kids some Disney gifts at Wal-Mart and pack those so I wont have to spend a fortune on Souveniers. I also make myself a checklist with all meds, toiletries, and paper work...Make sure you Drivers license isn't going to expire anytime soon as well......

I start my packing - usually by ensuring that I know what I want to take with me, so I can check that it's washed and put out in plenty of time. I also double check all my various reservations.

We're right there with you.... 20 days to go! I just ordered my Disney Visa Rewards card, some extra packing cubes from Ebags, and a batch of trading pins for the kids. Soon I will pre-order my Photopass, shop for those last minute travel items (like travel-size shampoo, sunscreen, snacks, etc.). We're also considering a new camera, so I have to do some research on that.

In NJ, it's time to switch out the spring/summer and winter/fall wardrobes, so I can break out the luggage and pack as I do that. Convenient! Finally I will make a very detailed check-list for things to do the last week, such as going to the bank, confirming ADRs, printing boarding passes, etc. All fun stuff! Enjoy your last weeks of planning... and maybe I'll see you at the World!

I have started to get out the suitcases, put clothes aside, pack a box to ship of toiletries/snacks/etc. and make a list of what i have and what I need. Oh yeah, and try not to wish the time away too quickly. i'm so focused on the trip I almost forgot to get the kids their halloween costumes!

Not long now! I would make a list of what you want to bring with you and then make sure you have everything you need. Don't forget sunscreen and bandaids.

I'll be there in 12 days time. At the moment, I'm in "Check clothes fit" mode.
Over the next few days I will be double checking all the documents and seeing what I can take with me on the flight.
Good luck with all your preparations
