Ideas mentioned

  • Consider packing 2 outfits per day when traveling during times with hot weather
  • When traveling during a time when your local stores don’t have clothes and items for hot weather, consider shopping online on sites like eBay or stores like T.J. Maxx may have a small selection of off-season items
  • Even when traveling when it’s hot in Orlando, consider packing a light sweater since indoor spaces are often so cold
  • Over-the-door shoe organizers can help keep your hotel room organized
  • Packing kids’ outfits in Ziplocs can make it easy for them to get dressed during your trip. Rolling clothes within the bags can help keep the clothes from getting wrinkly.
  • If checking multiple bags for multiple people, I’d suggest spreading items evenly amongst the bags. That way if a bag gets lost, 1 person doesn’t end up without all of their stuff.
  • When traveling domestically, packing food is possible and often more convenient than making a grocery store stop.

    Shannon,

    These are great tips! I agree that you need 2 outfits per person in the summer months. However, I also find that in the winter, you need a warm weather outfit and a cold weather outfit per person per day too due to the unpredictable Florida weather.

    Love the idea about spreading items evenly among the bags! Another reason can be weight…my husband’s clothing takes the most space and weighs the most. By mixing his stuff up with mine and our son’s we kept “his suitcase” under the weight limit. 🙂

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!

Anybody else fall in love with the Hollywood Studi Anybody else fall in love with the Hollywood Studios decor and want to have these vintage Christmas ceramics at home? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Here’s how.

For original vintage pieces, search “Lefton Christmas ceramics” or “Napco Christmas ceramics.” These often run you $100+ and can usually be found on Etsy, eBay, and other resale stores.

For less expensive replicas, check out VermontCountryStore.com which has a small - but more affordable - collection, including the trio of candy cane girls.
