These are great ideas! Hopefully they will save us some space and money.

I use the ziplock also.
We are going in June and both DD's (5 & 8) needed summer clothes. I made sure all the clothes were in colors that could be washed together. That way if I end up having to do laundry it would only be one load.
Also (I know I am a little nuts on this one) I am so afraid of DD (5) wandering off that I bought DDs matching outfits. That way if she gets lost I don't have to remember what she was wearing -- I just look at her DS!!
Will I sound crazy? I hope not -- I am serious.
Well in advance of traveling, I spread single bawny papertowels all along my kitchen counter. Then I use dawn dish soap , pour a quarter size amount in one hand, rub my hands together and then blot my hands onto one side of the paper towel. I do this to all the towels. I hang them up by clothespins and let them dry. REALLY DRY -- that's important.
When dry, I fold them up and put them in a zip loc.
PRESTO! When it's time to "wash" a sippy cup or our refillable mugs, I have instant dishsoap and a dishrag that I can toss when done.
This is good for camping or anywhere. ;-) Just make sure you don't have a glob of soap in one spot on your brany or it will never dry. When it's blotted all over....it dries quickly.
Great tips! Where can I buy the Baggallni Messenger bag?
Don't hate me for saying this...but my #1 best organizing, space saving, trip making secret that I can not live without is my Blackberry!
It holds all my ADR conf numbers, as well as phone numbers to my hotel, and car rental company. It holds my flight reservation number, my flight numbers, my frequent flyer number. It hold directions from mapquest. It has an internet browser so I can look something up real quick if I need to (like directions while I'm on the road)
It's a cell phone, and I can use it with my daughters cell phone to text or call while in the parks, but at different locations.
It has email, so I can check in with friends, family and the dog kennel back home without having to find a computer.
It can hold my TGM touring plans, so there is no need to carry a bulky book, or even loose papers with a plan on them.
I think I could probably get away with my blackberry, debit card, and room card and not need anything else while in the parks. It's my best kept secret
