We\u00a0forgot our ponchos one year and bought three of these beauties<\/i><\/p>\n
We\u2019ve all done it. We\u2019ve packed for a vacation, double-checked or maybe even triple-checked our packing list, only to arrive at our destination and discover we had forgotten to pack something. Now, most of the time, this is not a big deal. You can simply buy whatever you forgot. But here are a couple of things I really wish I hadn\u2019t forget. I\u2019ve broken them down into three separate Disney trips.<\/p>\n
And just for fun, I reached out to my fellow Mouse for Less bloggers to ask them to share items they\u2019ve forgotten to pack as well! You\u2019ll find these below my top three \u201coops\u201d moments.<\/p>\n

I promise, I was completely prepared for our summer trip and packed ponchos for everyone in our traveling party. But for a recent early December trip, I didn\u2019t think we\u2019d need them. And I was wrong. We had a couple of wet days, and we wound up buying some Disney Parks umbrellas instead. This wound up to be a pretty good purchase; we\u2019ve used those umbrellas for years. Although one of them is in Canterbury, England, since I brought it with me on a trip there and then, um, forgot to pack it.<\/p>\n Lip balm is an item I don\u2019t necessarily pack for Walt Disney World, but it is a must for Disneyland. Southern California is a desert. It\u2019s hot in the summer, can get quite cool in the winter, and it\u2019s dry almost all the time. Walking through a hot, dry theme park can get tiring, but if your lips are cracked and dry, it can be unbearable. I was able to buy some at our hotel gift shop, but it was overpriced. I really wish I had remembered to pack one of the dozens of tubes I had at home!<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if I got dehydrated from a sultry, steamy day in the Bahamas, or if I was just tired, or if it was completely random, but I wound up having a splitting headache on the second night of our cruise. I wound up going straight to bed after the evening performance in the theater, and thankfully, I woke up feeling much better. But I really wish I had brought a small first aid kit with us, one that included things like antihistamine and over-the-counter remedies. I\u2019ve been told that the ship does sell over-the-counter medication, but at the time, I was too tired to go out and try to find some.<\/p>\n \u201cMy sister-in-law forgot to pack their MagicBands, didn’t remember until the plane was in the air! I forgot the pins that my kids wanted to trade. Fiance forgot a belt once, we had to buy one at Animal Kingdom!\u201d – Kristen<\/p>\n \u201cI really regret forgetting my eye drops this last trip. I paid over $7 for a tiny bottle at Everything Pop that’s about 1\/4th the size of normal that I buy for like $3. Ouch.\u201d – Traci<\/p>\n \u201cI had a windbreaker (shell) that can fit in my small park pack – it keeps off the morning\/evening chill and is rain resistant. Instead I had to bring about a bulky sweatshirt (from Epcot 96).\u201d – Bob<\/p>\n purchased because I forgot to pack a jacket!<\/em><\/p>\n So, please, dear readers, learn from our mistakes! Go ahead and look at what we forgot to pack, and see if you want to add it to your packing list. As I said in the beginning, there is very little that you can\u2019t buy at your Disney destination. But by remembering to pack what you need, you can save yourself money, time, and headaches, in my case, a very literal one!<\/p>\n What’s something that you’ve forgotten?
