I used to being detangler and put it in a travel sized pump.

I always include nail clippers (kids & adult), an eye cup (to rinse out eyes if something gets in), and sometimes some lubricant eye drops - one of the kids seems to get dry/irritated eyes on occasion. Sometimes swimmers ear drops.

Flying, but we are giving our toiletries bag to my parents this weekend, who are headed to FL before us, to allow for extra space in our luggage

I bought travel bottles and put 50-100ml of detangler in the spray bottle and put it in DD's own toiletry ziplock bag. I pack it bit she carries it.

Are you staying in a resort or a self-catered condo or house? Here's my reaction, given a resort stay. We have 2 girls, ages 6 and 2:

1) Tear free shampoo/soap YES
2) Grown up shampoo/conditioner - NO; we used the resort's, and our 6yo started doing so at age 5.
3) Tear free hair detangler - NO - use hotel conditioner for all ages
4) Grown up body wash - NO
5) Grown up razors/aftershave/shaving cream - NO - DH takes electric razor
6) Toothbrushes - YES
7) Kids toothpaste - YES, up to about age 4 or 5, then they use grownups toothpaste
8) Grown up toothpaste (we travel with the 2 in one mouthwash/toothpaste) - YES
9) Q Tips - NO
10) Kids pain reliever - YES
11) Grown up Pain Reliever - NO
12) Kids bandaids - NO
13) Blister Bandaids - NO
14) Body Glide - NO
15) Neosporin - NO
16) Tums - NO
17) Kids Dramamine - YES
18) Brush & comb - YES
19) Barrettes/hair elastics - YES
20) Perfume - NO
21) Chapstick - YES
22) Feminine needs - DEPENDS, if cycle will hit then
23) Contact lens solution, extra contacts & case - YES
24) Glasses cleaner - NO (soap and water at resort)
25) Face wash - NO
26) Baby Lotion - MAYBE - YDD has eczema, but we didn't do this for ODD

Add to the list:
nail clippers
floss
Sunscreen

If you are flying, bring chewing gum for their ears on the plane! I would bring bandaids- I did have DD fall and scrape her knee in the park.

OP--everything you have listed, plus sunblock and some aloe vera lotion, in case of sunburn or other skin problem. I also bring along a sunblock stick, which is great for any parts in the hair and on your ears.

Something for rashes - someone always gets a rash when we're at WDW. A&D Ointment is good for rashes of all kinds, not just baby bottoms

I second leaving the shampoo/conditioner at home. I love the new H2O products in the hotel rooms onsite. The old orange stuff made us break out - this new stuff is great! Brought a bit home with us and I'm almost out. I think I can buy it online now though.

 

[ForMyBoys]

You have a great list. I’d add hand sanitizer/wipes and tweezers. One year my daughters friend got a sliver and no tweezers to be found. So now I always pack a pair.

Do you need face lotion?
We like to pack Downy wrinkle release.

Anyone in your party use hairspray?
