Packing and transporting all our wedding and honeymoon luggage to the Hunter, then onto the US and back home again will definitely be a challenge.
While most of the bulky wedding items will be left for extended family to bring home, we will need to take our personal items (wedding dress, FH's suit and a few other wedding nick knacks) with us, but Disney supply everything else.
While it’s important not to be bogged down with loads of things I don’t need or use, take too little, and you end up buying what you didn't bring.
I have been searching for the best destination wedding packing list and have ended up merging a few together to create a master planning checklist!
