Packing with Kids

No I haven't started packing yet... And I usually do not make lists when I do pack.  But, there are things I forget every single trip that I have to remember on this trip - especially with kids!

1. Pump soap - I mean who can wash their hands with a bar soap and not get skeeved out?

2.  Nightlight - this is a must with kids.  Either they can't see when they try and go (and please by all means try and go) because the embarrassment and shame from your child peeing the bed on Vaca??  Or God forbid you have to pee and you CANNOT turn on a light for fear you will wake one of them up. Total need.

3.  Alarm Clock - I have to know what time it is when I wake up during the night!

4.  Laundry Detergent - It seems I can't make it on 1 trip without washing clothes.

5.  Stain Stick - My kids get their clothes so messy and leaving stains on shirts for 7 days?? No thanks!

The DiPalma's do not leave home without our pop-up hamper!  Too many people, too many clothes...

I have been on Pinterest a lot looking at tips for the Disney Cruise.  Even though we have been on 2 before I want to be prepared for the week. Antibacterial wipes for sure - no one is getting the norovirus on this trip.  I have been seeing a lot of pins suggesting a surge protector or outlet extender is a Must have for cruising.  Outlets are on short supply in a cruise cabin.  A lot of the pinners suggested clothes pins so we can full use of the clothes line in the bathroom for wet suits.  Gladware or Tupperware to bring fruit back to the cabin from the buffet.  And a yeti or some kind of cup for the fountain beverages on the ship. So yeah I better get started!
