I love buying reusable grocery bags but can never remember to take them to the store. This results in hundreds of grocery bags. I can never remember to take them to the store to recycle either. That doesn't mean they go to waste.
One way I use plastic grocery bags it to place my shoes in them when I travel. This keeps my shoes from coming in contact with my clothes or any other items depending on how I pack. No dirty clothes and my old plastic grocery bags are reused.

Packing Tip - Shoes

Vacation Tip - Dining Schedule
Schedule your meal reservations into your phone calendar. This allows
you to play and not watch the clock. When the time is near you will be
alerted and can plan on moving towards your reserved eating
establishment. I set mine to 1 hour before our reservations.

Packing Tip - Dryer Towels
When I pack my clothes I place a dryer towel in a sandwich bag and place in my luggage. This keeps my clothes smelling fresh the entire trip. I pack an extra one in a trash bag where I place dirty or wet clothes (bathing suits and beach towels). Placing one in my dirty laundry bag keeps everything from smelling musty or moldy.

How Early Do You Pack?
I typically begin to pack about a week before we leave on a trip. Packing a week early gets most of what I need set aside so there is last minute washing (except my last 2 trips where I was drying clothes right up to when we left). Packing early also allows me to go through my list checking things off to see what is left or any last minute trips to the store.This time, however, I'm getting the itch to pack much sooner. Because it is so out of my routine it feels strange. We typically drive the 12 hours so we are on an open schedule. This time we are flying. That means the schedule feels tighter so we have to be organized arriving and departing.
How early (or late) do you start packing?

16 Days and Counting
We are 16 days away before we leave and the excitement is mounting!
Our hotel is booked, tickets pre-purchased, Disney dining reservations made, transportation arranged.
We are beginning to pack and purchase any items we need for our trip. I use a list based on activities to ensure we have all we need for our trip. This cuts down on visits to a store when we should be enjoying our vacation.
I like to work out dining on and off the Disney property to keep us within our chosen food budget. We use a food budget to keep us on from over spending. We are have a souvenir budget for the same reason.
The night before leaving we print all confirmations, receipts, tickets, and place all in a folder so we have everything we need in one place. I do this so there is no worry of losing any if these before or during our trip. If you are flying do not put these in your checked baggage. Always place in your carry on.
For every trip I have a specific ritual. In that I buy everyone brand new socks. This way I know everyone has enough socks for the week. It is something I always do.
What is your pre-vacation ritual?

28 Days and Counting
I will be arriving in California in just 28 days and that includes Disneyland!
I can't wait to check out Carsland and Buena Vista Street. I'm also excited to check out Goofys Sky School and Ariel's Undersea Adventure since these opened after our March 2011 trip.
I will have plenty of adventures and tips to share including dining on a budget as I plan to take one day to eat for an entire day on a specified budget.
What would you like me to cover?

Movie Reward shopping
I hoard my Disney Movie Reward points but I am not after those big ticket items. I am after the smaller items that I can use for myself and as gifts.
Today I splurged and actually redeem 2 rewards.
