"My Mom Throws Away My Underwear So We Can Buy More Toys!"

"My mom throws away my underwear so we can buy more toys!"  

Yes.  Yes.  These words have been exclaimed excitedly to more than one Disney Cast Member by my son.  This declaration usually draws some attention and I embarrassingly have to explain myself.  This is one of my great tips that I use in packing.  Before a trip, I save up older underwear, pajamas, and socks.  As we wear them during our trip, we toss them out and we have more room in our suitcases for souvenirs and toys!  Our kids end up wearing pajamas that are usually a size too small for them and they look like little sausages, but we have room for a stuffed animal or two and we're not paying for another suitcase on the flight home!   Plus, the Cast Members that we have explained this to have all thought it was a great idea!

Who knows, maybe it will be one of those funny Disney memories our kids will look back on and remember.  "Remember how mom would pack all of our older socks, underwear, and pajamas and then throw them away so we could bring home more toys?!?!".

Just a tip that works!   ;)
