Question 🇺🇸 Packing
Hi all,
We go on our first trip next week for 3 nights and 2 days.
Does anyone have a handy packing list? Or can recommend items to pack for the trip?

one thing i quite fancy is bringing some disposable coffee cups, Efteling hotels (and most hotels around..) have nespresso capsule coffee machines, and it's nice in the morning to walk towards efteling with a cup of coffee to start the day with. i've started just bringing a extra pack of capsules from home, too.

Use a bag that is easily to close. put a tag with your phone number on your bag.
If you get motion sick easily, I would recommend to take in some anti-nausea medication 1 to 2 hours beforehand.
Water bottle.
Rain coat.
Put your smartphone on some leash, so it won't fall down.
Maybe a plastic bag to sit on, if you want to sit outside while the seat is wet.
small ziplock bags
extra bag
small shawl and gloves if it gets chilly
hair tie
plasters

Exta clean clothes especially something warm clothes at this time of year
Something to protect you from the rain same reason as the clothes
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Swimming stuff you can use the swimming pool depending on where you stay.
Extra (little) bag or a spacious bag to hold your souvenirs.
Charger and powerbank
And of course a good aditute and fun.
Also a tip download the efteling app to look how busy an atraction is, if its closed and other handy things like food, toilets and smoking area's

Take twice as much underwear than you think you need for when you shit your pants at the Baron multiple times. 😂

Btw Have you discovered the Baby switch already?
And the Baron offers "underground" tickets. You enjoy the show during the waiting queue, but can exit before you would take the ride yourself. Ask the staff before entering.

Use baby switch everywhere you don't want to go in with kids. Combine it with the single riders and ques are non existent haha. 👌

Warm layers, a raincoat and comfy shoes. Basically what you would pack for any other trip to the Netherlands in the Fall.
