Lately I have found myself purchasing or putting on a wishlist things that I plan to use for the parks.  For Christmas I asked for the "hipster" bag from Vera Bradley, a perfect bag for park days. It's great because it has all of these pockets for my stuff. I used my sisters when we went in October. The shoulder strap is perfect. Then yesterday we were shopping at Bath and Body works and found some little anti-bacs that were perfect for the parks.  So we loaded up on those for 50 cents. They strap on your bag and the little bottles can be replaced. 

What do you find yourself looking at for the parks?  or your next Disney trip?

When it was going to be hot when we went to the parks, we bought little fans that we could carry to the parks with us. The ones we got didn't have the spray bottles, but those are good too.

We've also bought cheap ponchos that we've taken with us that we would be ok with throwing away if we ever used them.

Probably our favorite thing though was jackets that fold up into themselves (they fold into one of the pockets). They have hoods, and they are great because we wear them when it's cool in the morning and then fold them up and hook them onto a belt loop. They can also be worn if we get caught in an afternoon shower.

We don't carry much into the parks with us most of the time, so that's about all I can think of that we've gotten.

So I need to buy a new printer and buying one that prints great Disney photos is a must. Any suggestions?  I have a kodak and I'm ready to throw it out the window.

If you do at least two trips a year like I do, itmay pay you to rent a "locker" from Owner's Locker.  Owner's Locker is a service that allows you to store your vacation gear in Orlando and have it delivered to your hotel or resort everytime you visit. I find I don't have to worry about TSA removing liquids from my bags, it allows me to keep "essential items" ready for my next visit.  I'm also able to keep medical supplies like my spare CPAP machine available without carting it around from Boston to Orlando with every trip. The purple tote comes with dividers and an organizer tray for your little items.  I pay just $99 per year and for me it's well worth the cost.

Tasha315 you make a great point. I could see how keeping a C-PAP there would be beneficial. Since I drive to WDW there is little I need to have something waiting and most often if we have other family members flying I bring their things that are difficult to put on a plane. There is usually loads of room on the plane on the way there and very little on the way back. Despite the frequency of the trips we still find many souvenirs to carry back home. It's always great to have in put from another perspective.

Don't forget a night light.  My kids could not sleep without one, especially when they are sleeping in an unfamiliar room.

Friends who have traveled with me know that my electronics can serve as a night light, but you are right they are needed for children and the elderly. My mom often expresses a concern over finding the bathroom without disturbing everyone in the room.

On my last trip I left all of my chargers in one bag and had to run to Walmart to purchase chargers for my laptop, cellphone and camera. I would leave that and a surge protector (with numerous outlets) too if I left stuff there.

I'm with Rhonda and buy the cheap ponchos too. It seems like if we bring them they ward off the rain!
Beth, what kind of Kodak printer did you have? I got a Kodak office 2150 but I didn't set it up yet. I hope that's not the one you had!

Stephanie I had an ESP-7 and hated it and my sister bought a Kodak and don't know what model she had but she got rid of hers too. I can't say they are great at making printers though you would think they were. My mom had the set with the photo printer and camera and she loved it b/c she could easily take pictures and not use her computer for the prints. I have to set up my new one, this one you can email photos from your phone or computer. I bought the HP photo (something or other)

It has special photo inks for richer blacks and more viberant yellows.

We often buy LSU ponchos b/c one we can "represent" and two they are cheaper too about 3.95
