Goofy Challenge Packing List

Okay, so it's no secret that packing for the Goofy Challenge has been stressing me out a little bit.  For the past couple of days I've been working on my packing list, looking it over and checking it twice.  I found a few good examples of Goofy packing lists on other blogs and after conferring with friends I think I have my final list.  I tried to think about things in terms of specific events and categories to try and make sure I didn't forget anything.

So what exactly does one take when heading to WDW for the Goofy Challenge?  Well here's what I'm planning to bring...

Can you think of anything I missed?

I wanted to post this as a .pdf but I couldn't figure out how, so sorry for the long list in the post!  I started pulling things together tonight by doing all of the nitpicky stuff like calculating how many jelly beans I'll need and counting them out...

Measuring out some Dr. Teal's epsom salts.  I currently have "Therapy & Relief" which is rosemary and mint and not my favorite.  I like the relaxation one they have much better, eucalyptus - yum!

Pulling together all the medications I want to bring...

·

And measuring out the Gatorade I'll need...

I started pulling together a bunch of the clothes and other things too, but for now they are just in a big pile upstairs beside my suitcase.  I still have a lot left to do but I feel better and more organized with what I got done today.

Tomorrow I'm off for a 10k run in the morning, followed by brunch out with a run buddy and then it's back home for more packing and preparing the house for when I'm away.
