6. One More Week!

Question 6: Just one more week, anything else to do?

You're almost there! Just one week until your trip!  There's not really anything major to do in terms of planning, but there are a few things you can do!

First, and most important, you need to print off any tickets you might need. This includes your plane tickets, park tickets (only print those if you want/need to - they can scan your e-ticket directly from a smartphone now!), ride max itineraries, driving directions... Whatever needs to be printed, go ahead and do it. After you've printed those important documents, put them somewhere safe where you won't forget to bring them with you. I would recommend putting them in a file folder and then into your backpack, or whatever you are going to use as your carry-on on your flight (that way if your luggage goes AWOL you still have all the important stuff). If you are driving, perhaps put those things in a safe space in your car or in a backpack you know you are taking with you. Either way, do NOT forget them! But they should be on your packing list you've been making for the past week, right? ;)

Head to the store (if you haven't already) and stock up on medicine-type items. Grab some band-aids (maybe the kind with Mickey Mouse on them? Just a suggestion....), some painkillers, and some Dramamine for when you get car/plane/Star Tours sick. I would recommend getting this stuff more than just a couple of days before you leave (hence its presence on this post as opposed to another one) because you never know when your usual store will be out of stock of something you need. And you don't want to be out going to multiple stores the night before a huge trip! Don't do that to yourself. And that may seem unlikely, but the store I go to the most is out of Dramamine more than it should be. 

And you'll probably need that Dramamine if you want to ride this beauty multiple times!

While you're out at the store, you might want to stock up on gum. I'm the type that has to chew a stick of gum after every meal. So if you're anything like me you'll need to bring your own, because guess what...you literally cannot purchase gum anywhere in the Disneyland resort. I've heard that this is because Walt Disney didn't want anyone to have to step on gum while they are in his park. Whether or not that is the real reason is beyond me, but that doesn't change the fact that Disneyland doesn't sell gum. (And I'm talking the entire resort, including California Adventure. Not just the Disneyland park itself.) 

If you haven't already, procure yourself a ride to the airport, if you need one. Don't wait till the day before to frantically start calling around. C'mon now.

See, I told you there isn't much to do! Just finish up your homemade autograph books and shirts and you'll be just about ready to go! Now go watch Disney movies till your eyes fall out! :)

Happy planning!
