Does anyone know a comprehensive grocery list to bring if you can drive: milk, condiments, pods,coffee filter, decent grill instruments, charcoal
basics and lists to pack for the parks: battery chargers, ponchos, lanyards, snacks,wipes...?
2 families going 5 days. Nite lites for bathrooms,
Blankets, pillows,
Thanks for direction, willing to share findings.
We always
Stop at gc before getting there, but bring crackpot, utensils. Spices. Including salt pepper
 
I bring a couple of seasoning packets and/or bullion / broth powder to help season food. I bring mayo/ketchup/mustard/soy sauce packets leftover from eating out and try to use them up. Crystal Light or other drink packets, emergenC…cold meds for just in case… a lot of people bring their own pillow but I find Hilton Grand Vacations pillows and beds very comfy. Popcorn.
 
Suggestion only. Sugar, flour, Stronger trash bags, extra dish detergent (liquid and tablets) washing machine detergents, bleach, extra bathroom tissues and extra pillows just in case the resort pillows are to soft or to hard. We sometimes will pickup a good grade of paper plates for small children to use.

Please enjoy your vacation time with your family.
 
There are grocery stores. Driving trips are different for us, as we stop at timeshares on the way, specifically Wyndham. All have kitchens. We have to buy eggs and bacon for Rick, or we bring frozen bacon in a medium-sized cooler. I eat a Kodiak pancake every morning, so we bring that. We also bring coffee because I don't love the coffee provided by Wyndham. We bring some spices to Maui but we don't cook a lot on the mainland. We might grill steaks while in Myrtle Beach. Some steak seasoning is easy to pack. Salt and pepper are essential but usually are provided by most resorts in small shakers.

We always bring pillows, whether in the checked bags or in our car for comfort. Blankets would just cause me to go to sleep while Rick is driving, which isn't a good idea.
 
Are you staying at a DVC resort (I see you own at Boardwalk)? If so, studios or one bedroom?
