Packing Checklist
From WDWIP Walt Disney World International Programs Wiki
You have your acceptance letter - you have your plane ticket - you have told every person that you have ever met that you will be working for a mouse - what next?? The time eventually comes that you need to decide what you will be bringing with you on the trip down to Florida and what will have to stay at home and gather dust. To assist you, we have created this handy checklist that you can look at and print out when you are packing. Thanks to everyone who contributed their ideas to the list. If you have any other suggestions of what should be on this list, please email us.
