10 Things I do the day before a Walt Disney World vacation!

Everyone has their pre-vacation rituals, and since I’m leaving for Disney tomorrow I can’t think of a better day to share mine!

1. Pack – I am one of those people that always leaves packing to the absolute last day! For some reason, it doesn’t seem to matter where I’m going, packing is the thing that goes to the wayside. I am also, admittedly, an extremely messy packer. I more or less do a half-fold on something and throw it into my suitcase…anyone else? My fiancé on the other hand, is as clean as they come. I swear it looks like he used one of those folding boards that stores have when he pulls his clothes out of the suitcase! What’s that they say about opposites attract?
2. Check the weather – …obsessively, for about the 100th time in 2 weeks. I like to know what the weather’s going to be like for most of our trip, especially when we go to Walt Disney World, because we want to make sure we have sweaters, ponchos, etc as needed
3. Hit up CVS/Walgreens/Rite-Aid – I don’t know what it is about vacation, but the day before I leave always seems to be the day I get to one of these to do a restock on toiletries, even the ones we don’t necessarily need for the trip. Today’s odd pick-up was floss but in my defense it was on clearance!
4. Stop into the Dollar Store – While I’m out for any and all toiletry needs, the Dollar Store is another pre-vacation staple for me. The dollar store is one of my favorites because you can grab the things you (hopefully) won’t need but should bring anyway! For us it’s ponchos, extra hand sanitizer, a sudoku book for the plane, and some snacks.
5. Get my nails done – Might be silly, but I love my pre-vacation visit to the nail salon to pick a color that matches my destination! For this trip I chose Minnie Mouse red! It’s going to look so cute with my Minnie Mouse MagicBand!
6. Clean out the fridge – Seriously, I feel like far too many people forget this one and when you come back a week later…YUCK! Always nice to come home to a clean kitchen
7. Print out any vacation related documents – If you’re a client of mine, I’ll take care of this and send it to you in a pretty and organized folder, along with some special tips! I usually have most of ours ready to go, but I make sure to print out anything that may have fallen off the radar including itinerary, flight documents and airport parking information.
8. Set my alarm for the morning – Tomorrow morning’s flight is at 7:20, which means setting a super early alarm to make sure I have enough time to get to the airport and enjoy my coffee before the flight. Not that I sleep much the night before a vacation anyway, like a little kid, I’m FAR too excited!
9. Put bleach in the toilets – for this one, I can send my mom a nice big thanks! I always remember my mom vacuuming and putting bleach in the toilets the morning before we left for vacation. I may not do the vacuuming part, but for some reason the bleach stuck. Besides, coming home to a clean house makes the end of vacation less sad
10. Lay out my “travel clothes” –I have my Alice in Wonderland leggings from LuLaRoe’s Disney collection out and ready to go along with a super comfy top and sneakers. I am not the biggest fan of flying, but it’s definitely all about comfort.
