(AKA toliet seat cover debate thread) Top ten products to take to Disney

[cstraub]

I prefer to line the toilet seat with toilet paper (double strips of course) but I have no objection to other's using toilet seat covers if they want.
What I can't stand are the "squatters" who make a mess all over the toilet and floor.

Love your Charlie stuff!

I can't stans squaters either. Please use a toliet seat cover instead people.

Maybe if everyone used Toliet seat covers (TSC) we wouldn't need to use TSC's!?

 

[Missy1961]

Great thread. I'm going to print it out before I pack. I'll be there in 3 weeks, leaving in 18 days!!!!

And I agree with the TSC folks.......they're cheap, easy to pack & carry & for the 1 out of 10 times I need them, I have them.

1. DH
2. Granola bars for breakfast
3. Binder with trip info
4. Shout wipes
5. Sunscreen for before parks
6. Small screen stick to carry and reapply
7. Extra camera battery
8. Lots of film
9. Change for tolls (skipped on one once )
10. Cell phone (avoiding the Disney charge)

And, a week before I leave, I spray bags and shoes with water repellent just in case of Kali or unexpected spills.

1) DH - he would never forgive me if i went without him
2) sunnies - suncreen in towel for esp for babies and people like me who go "crisp" very quickly (factor 50+)
3) Ice wipes - wet wipe tissues that leave you feeling chilled, even better if you leave them in the fridge over night, good to stop overheating
4)mini fan
5) Travellers cheques
6) pins
7) aloe vera gel - great for heat rash, sore spots, sun burn
8) Comfy shoes
9) a cardy - the restaurants are always too cold in the evenings
10) Kris n stitch - our teddy bears!


We don't have TSC in any of our rest rooms so to use or not doesn't become an issue. What is appearing more often are little spray containers that you squirt onto a piece of toilet roll and use that to wipe the seat before us.
Supposed to be more enviromentally friendly as it uses less paper

I'm pretty sure the squatters must smell like pee-if you're hitting the seat and the floor, you're hitting your shorts, socks, undies and shoes, too!

gross, gross, gross.

Your genitals are not coming in contact with the seat, just your skin!

Man, if the tag fairy reads this I'm dead meat.

 

[The SS Girls]

I get the heebbee jeebees thinking about the hotel beds. I was wondering can I bring a can of lysol on the plane? Or would something like that be a safety concern? I really want to sanitize the bed before I sleep in it. Also, if I can get a small can of it, I would prefer to carry that with me, and disinfect the rides, and sinks!

I want to bring my own pillows too, but, I don't know if they are counted as carry-on

Great thread! Just what I was looking for. One question:

10. Anything they have at the dollar store that you'd othewise pay big bucks for. onsite

This is our first trip, so I'd love to hear specifically what I should be looking for at the dollar store.

 

[cstraub]

Those light up glow sticks. I always stock up.

Last time I went to Target they had them too and they were a dollar!

 

[patmor]

Great ideas.......Thanks!

These sound interesting! Does anyone know if we have anything similar in the US? My son has alot of problems with overheating. We tried those wet neckbands, but they didn't work well for him. Whenever we go outside I bring a wet washcloth to wipe him down.
Great tips everyone!

I just remembered this idea while at the grocery store this weekend - Disney fruit snacks - Princesses, Toy Story, Pooh, and Lion King. I don't have any kids, but I still carry a couple packages with me. They are relatively okay for you (better than some of the snacks in the parks), they are easy to carry, and you still get the Disney experience with each bite.

 

[Missy1961]

My local supermarket had Mickey Mouse gummies! And they are really tasty. They also had Pooh & Nemo gummies as well. Fun snack to take along.

Wouldn't the effects of thelysol fumes and chemicals in your bed be just as potentially damaging as any "natural" germs that might linger after laundry and mousekeeping were through????

I agree with the mess on the seat!! I once read a quote in a bathroom stall that said "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be a sweetie and wipe the seatie!" I just love that one. Not to get off the topic though. However, I gues that this is the new topic of the thread . Thanks to everyone for all the ideas. I just have to ask what packing cubes are? I don't know if it was answered and I missed, so I apologize for reasking then.

These are packing cubes. I don't own any but wanted to know what they were too. Found this pic on Amazon.

 

[raksha2]

packing cubes - a way of organising your packing supposedly

takes up more room in your suitcases and more weight (very important when flying internationally) and makes your wallet lighter, lots lighter
