    We fly and we do something similar....I have a big laundry bag, the kind with a drawstring at the top. We keep this in the closet and all dirty clothes get put into this....at the end of the trip, I close the bag and pop the whole thing into one of our empty suitcases, the other suitcase gets whatever clean clothes we have left and all the rest of the stuff we brought or bought! Works great for us!

    Oh, good idea! I'll have to keep this in mind next time we fly somewhere on vacation. Nothing worse than re-packing your clean clothes with your dirty ones...ick!

    You can get a free cup of ice water from any vendor who has a soft drink machine. Just go up and ask for a cup of ice tap water. There's supposedly a filter on the Coke machine for it too.

    I did this many times last July and never spent a dime on water.

    That is a good tip. It also works outside the parks. When I lived in Cocoa, after a day at the beach, we would go to the nearest fast food drive thru and ask for cups of ice water(with no other purchase). They always obliged.

    There are often offers out there to receive free samples of detergent. Take those along if you plan on doing laundry while you are away- much easier to travel and cheaper than buying there.

    We did this last trip, it was great. I always asked, politely "If possible" for a large cup of ice water and always rec'd the tall cups. Sometimes we would put the Wyler's (same as Crystal Light...but 8/$1 at Dollar Tree ) packets in them.

    You can also get cups of hot water to make your own tea or instant coffee. Taster's Choice (what most Disney has anyway) makes travel tubes now similar to the Wyler's. It tastes the exact same as their coffee (except those rare places that have good coffee...).

    I love reading everyone's ideas!

    Did anyone mention Blister Block yet? Never travel without it!

Each person can have a row or you can give one to several people and keep it in the closet until it is there turn for the bathroom and they can take it with them. We use this at disney and when we timeshare we find it helps you find things faster and helps with bathroom clutter. You can usuall buy these at the dollar store.
    Great tip!! I have started a planning notebook and I put shoe bag on my list of must haves.

    I hit the dollar tree and pick up ponchos, I think you get 2 for $1. They are very small to pack in your backpack. If we use one, we just discard and get new ones for the next day.

    I also buy the light up tubes at Dollar Tree to pull out when the girls want some. Much cheaper and they don't take alot of room. They can spend the money on something else.

    Be careful...I bought these at the dollar store and they ripped even before I got them out of the bag! Just make sure you get a quality one.

    Oh, that is too bad. Especially when it is pouring. We have been using these for several years and haven't had any problems. I think I will carry extras, just in case.

    Whoops! I should have quoted in my last post. I meant the shoe holders ripped. My dollar store ponchos are FABULOUS!!!!!!!!! We buy a few and then throw them away also.

    Sorry for the confusion!
