Travel WWYD?

Someone tell me I'm not crazy to use cloth at Disneyland next week. I can do laundry right before we leave on Monday, we have enough nighttime diapers for both kids for 4 nights and PLENTY of diapers for DS during the day, and we would be back around the same time we had left on Friday, so exactly 4 days.

So please tell me it isn't nuts. We're driving and could possibly do laundry there but I don't see the point if we don't need to.

DS has never worn disposables so I just really don't want to, you know? No reason, and I can't even get any of the EF brands here so I would hate to do it...

I plan to CD when we go to Disneyworld in November. We will be there 6 days and 5 nights. I have enough CDs to get us through. We are also driving so I don't think it will be an issue. I say go for it and you aren't nuts!! Or if you are than we both are Stick out tongue

i don't think you're crazy, but i would consider getting a small pack of disposables just in case. you have time to order the EF ones online and get them before you leave.

We did it for a couple days. Just take multiple wetbags with you & you'll be fine.

Not crazy. I did it for four days on a trip to Vancouver with no laundry. I did laundry while in Key West for a week. The coin op was ridiculous, but in the end I was really glad I brought my cloth.

I don't think it's necessarily crazy. My main consideration would be where you are staying. If you're staying at a nearby location and plan to do an afternoon nap/rest break or something (i.e., built-in time to drop off dirties/pick up clean diapers), then I think it would hardly even be a big deal at all. I mostly would be interested (personally) in minimizing the amount of stuff I was lugging around the park all day, and an extra bag of bulky diapers would be a bit much for me, but if I could do half and half, it would be fine, I think.

I have always taken cloth on vacations with me. I never thought of anything else.

Although when C was real little and we did, I ran out of CD's on the way home, as he pooped a few more times than usual. It sucked. I ended up using a blanket as a diaper in his carseat until we got home. :P Luckily we were only a few hours away

This is my plan. We will be returning to the hotel in the afternoon for a nap/rest (for both Quinn and my dad). I figure I'll be able switch out dirties for more clean diapers so I'm not lugging everything at the park.

You can do it!

We have always traveled with cloth too but rarely to stay in hotels without laundry facilities, which is why I was a little nervous. But we have our normal 3-day stash plus extra fitteds and 18 prefolds so we won't run out. 4 days is just pretty long to go without washing but SHOULD be okay....

Thanks for just helping me feel a little less crazy I hate the idea of spending $ on disposables so I really didn't want to bother.
