Looking for Disney money saving tips for a family of 5 at the Contemporary?

umbrella stroller that is easy to collapse because you can bring these on the busses and monorail. Ones rented at Disney can't leave the parks.

If you are taking your baby and plan on him/her sleeping in a Pack N Play, do a dry run at home before you go to make sure he/she WILL sleep in it!

Also, if you are renting/using the crib or PNP from the hotel, be SURE to bring your own sheets.

I don't know if anyone else hates buying bathing suits as much as I do, but the only ones I will wear are from Land's End, they really look nice even if you aren't a size 2, and after 4 kids I ask a lot of a bathing suit! Anyway, I needed a new top because I am still breastfeeding and I went to the Land's End overstocks and got a bottom for $7.99 and a top for $5.99 and they have Free shipping right now!!!! Usually a top and bottom are over $100. I am so excited. Also if you buy something you don't want or like you can return it at any Sears. Just thought I would share.

If you are not bringing a laptop, make sure you bring extra memory cards for your camera. I was just taking pics of my niece before she went off to prom on Friday night and my card filled up FAST! I am going to buy another one on Amazon right now!

the free shipping expires TONIGHT! I just ordered a whole bunch of suits and will return what doesn't work. You can do returns for free at Sears stores.

I had a friend come back from Disney last week and she said there was a sign at the pools that said you could not use the disposable diapers in the pools, you needed a diaper cover. Does anyone know about this? I can't find any info on it.
Thanks!!!!
