This will be the wierdest thing I've ever packed for a Disney vacation

DD's dance studio does a benefit show for Toys for Tots every December. This year, it's the afternoon of the day we fly home from Florida. (I've warned her teacher that our being there is subject to the cooperation of Delta).
We got the parent letter yesterday, which has hair and makeup info. Instead of ballet buns (which would be so easy under the circumstances) her class is wearing their hair "half up half down and curly" which means the front pulled up and back with no bangs, and curls in the back.
Now DD has super straight fine hair and a curling iron doesn't cut it. So I need to pack her hair gel, foam rollers and the satin cap so she can sleep in curler the night before we fly home.

What's the wierdest thing you've taken to WDW?

I packed an air pump and vacuum hose this summer in my suitcases! I had packed all of our clothes in those space bags that require a vacuum to suck out the air. Now where am I going to find a vacuum at WDW??? a car wash??? I was hoping the air pump alone would work but the side that sucks in the air didn't provide a tight enough seal around the opening of the space bag. So curlers & satin cap are not so weird.

I can't remember packing anything weird. But in 2008 dd's dance recital was moved at the last minute to the day we returned from Disney. So we drove 14 hrs home, curled her hair, put on her makeup and costume and headed to the recital. We were the last to arrive and the last to perform, we just barely made it. If we hadnt already bought the costume we wouldn't have worried about it but the routine wouldn't have worked well without her either. When her teacher announced their names after the dance she said that dd deserved an award for furthest travel that day!

I know no one else has ever packed this... 1/2 gallon of Gasoline Stabilizer. My brother needed me to put it in the car that was down at his vacation home, so I packed it in checked luggage. I am so amazed I got it on the plane as this was a few years after 911.

I usually get looks if I have to open and "readjust" the weight between my suitecases....I travel with 100-150 lbs of children's books. We sponsor at reading program at Give Kids The World (where wish children stay) and take the books with us!
