Today's tip is for those of us who are Disney return visitors--we just can't stay away for more than a year, or possibly two. The tip: only buy it once. What is "it"? Whatever you need specifically for the WDW vacation. Here are a few examples from my own family: heavy-duty ponchos, light-up/spinning toys, clear backpack, kid's fanny packs, lanyard for pins, carabiners, autograph books, and even Mickey ears. In fact, I'm so passionate about the "only buy it once" rule that I keep a "Disney tub"--decorated lovingly with character stickers gathered on previous trips--in the attic with these items (or, at least the ones I don't use at other times during the year) packed. When it's time for our next vacation, I simply get the tub out and pack the remaining items we need.
Why buy a new lanyard every year for your kids, when they can add new pins to their existing lanyard? And why purchase a new spinny toy for around $15, when you can simply bring the one from home that you bought on your last trip? (Chances are, your kids ignored it once you returned home anyhow, right? So, tuck it away in your WDW vacation supplies, and it will be like a new toy the next time they see it!)
If you're a yearly visitor who is also a seriously hard-core, pack-items-for-every-possible-contingency kind of person, and you don't want to ship or carry these items with you on every trip, you might want to consider this service.
