As a girl who loves outfits I’m a huge over packer. I typically have 2 outfits planned for every day we’re at Disney. I like to keep things organized and easy to find. Over the years I’ve developed a packing system. Packing cubes are key.

I find that keeping everything in an organizer or contained space keeps my bag from over flowing while making it easy to find stuff.

Once my clothes, shoes, and jewelry are packed. I move onto makeup and hygiene items. Since you need these items until the day you leave it’s easy to forget them. I hang my travel organizer in my bathroom and as I’m done with items I put them in the bag. Then roll it up and pack it the day we leave. I highly recommend the travel organizer from Vera Bradley.

One last tip. I’m an anxious person by nature. We get on the road and I worry…did I lock my back door? Is the oven on? Is the garage door closed? To keep those nagging thoughts at bay on vacation I take pictures of anything I worry about while I’m gone so my mind is settled.

Typically I take “worry pictures” of…

• Garage door
• Door locks
• Garage door
• Candles
• Area where I use my curling iron

If you’re anxious like me this is a huge weight off.
