Subject: What Do I Pack for a 10 Day Trip?

Written By: apollonia1986 on 04/26/15 at 4:16 pm

Hey Y'all,

I need some serious help. I haven't taken a vacation since 1994 and I need some help trying to figure out exactly what to pack for this trip that occurs from June 3-June 13. Over the course of the vacation I'll be visiting Disney World (even though Captain EO is on hiatus  >:( ) , Orlando Studios, and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. I'm also attending a girl's Quincenera (but I already have my party dress selected and will order it next week) I just need simple advice about how many pairs of undergarments, socks to pack, things like that. How many pairs of pajamas will I need.

We'll be staying at something of a resort, so I will have access to a washing machine and things like that.
And it all has to fit into ONE duffel bag on the Greyhound Bus. (I'll carry on my makeup bag and Sparky)

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. I don't know what I'm doing.

Thank you!

The small packet type of toothpaste and toothbrush, with Scope mouthwash. Two just in case.

A comb

5 pairs of socks, perhaps you can wear a pair two days in a row, but it depends on how often you walk, and if your feet get sweaty.

Do not wear your socks two days in a row. That's gross!  8-P


Disney world will require miles of walking so take really comfortable shoes
You will want a comfortable clothing for the touristy stuff and maybe some thing nice for the evening

Take a dress that's easy to wash

Four shirts
1 or 2  pair of shorts
1 or 2 pair of jeans
A pair of pants
5 socks
5 underwear
A dress
The party dress you planned
2 pair of shoes (in addition to the ones you wear on the bus)

Then you will def have to do laundry but you'll have enough to get you thru 10 days and the trip home

Definitely a good pair of walking shoes. Don't forget your swimsuit. Even if you are not planning to go swimming-bring it anyway. You never know. It is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen-or you can buy some when you are there.

BTW, make sure you leave some room in your bag for souvenirs you may pick up.
