Thursday's Tip

When our family goes on vacation, we go from living in a comfy house with multiple rooms to living in one room. And though the moderate and deluxe rooms at Walt Disney Resorts are roomy, the value resorts can be a bit cramped with four people and all the "stuff" that comes with us. Here are a few Thursday's Tips to help with organization:

• Assign everyone his or her own clothing drawer and unpack immediately.


• Set your empty suitcase on end with it zipped up, except for about a six inch section on the top end. Then, each day, you can stuff your dirty laundry back in the suitcase. When your week at WDW is finished, you're already packed! (This also prevents the bulging dirty clothes bag that inevitably falls over and spills out repeatedly.)


• Buy an inexpensive over-the-door organizer to hold shampoo, deodorant, and other hygiene items, keeping the counters from being over-stacked.


• Take collapsable bins to keep papers and other items tidy.


• Use the free safe that each Disney resort room offers. Not only will it keep your tickets, wallet, keys, etc. safe, but it will also keep you from losing them!
