Putting it all together

As you count down to your trip date its time to get everything together.

  • Pack your suitcase
    • Don't wait until the last minute as you might need to stop at the store and pick up some last minute items.
  • Pack your park backpack
    • Limit what you plan to carry everyday
  • Get your mousekeeping envelopes ready
  • Get your tipping envelopes ready
    • Don't forget your nonstandard staff (tour guides, carriage drivers, baggage handlers)
  • Finish your planning binder
    • ICE sheet
    • Card numbers and 1-800 numbers for lost or stolen
  • Have your driving route planned
    • Reconfirm your hotel reservations 
    • Snacks or dining locations
    • Get your vehicle an oil change and check up
  • Reevaluate your cost budgets
  • Make final plans with your housesitter
