Im with you on having the trailer stocked with its own stuff. It makes it much easier when it comes time to load and unload. Some our stuff was extras from around the house, garage sale finds, or bought for the trailer. The kitchen I keep stocked with dry foods, spices, mixes and such, then rotate them out when needed.
My suggestion is start out with the basics and add and subtract as you use it. There will be things youll find that you really need and others that you thought you couldnt live without and never use while camping. As you find things you need or wish you had add them, from time to time look through what you have and remove what you havent used. Youll be surpised how much you can hide and forget you have, even in a small camper.
A couple decks of cards or some games your family enjoys is a thing to find a spot for though. Great for rainy days or just relaxing around the site. we keep a cribage board, deck of cards and uno in the trailer.
Also think multi use on things, Tupperware bowls with lids for mixing, tervis tumblers (great for hot or cold beverages), utensils that can be used on the grill as well as with pots and pans.
Most important thing is to enjoy it and remember worse case scenario theres usually a store near by or make fun of improvising till you can get what you're missing.

Ugh I have no idea how that posted twice, fat fingers I guess.
Things that make you go hmmmm!

If it's a public website, fine to post as long as you give a credit/link to where you got it.
 
If it comes off someone's FB page or a closed FB group, best to ask permission first.

We have a tiny pup, so storage is an issue.
We have gotten a lot of stay in the camper items from Goodwill. Just takes patience to find what you want.
Got a microwave, Coleman camp kitchen, heavy reusable plastic utensils, dinnerware, Keurig French press coffee maker, smaller coffee maker with a stainless steel pot, all in one coffee cups with lids that are also measuring cups and bowls (Stanley Brand).
Some items we took from the house, extra knives, cutting board, etc.
Bought some new pots from k-mart to work on an induction cooking plate which I bought off woot.
Wife found a like new Coleman Road Trip grill with griddle and grill plates, pot plate and large tank conversion kit for $75. It also had the fold out stand.
I had extra grilling tools so they are packed also.
these are all dedicated camper items.
We also have 3 heavy duty totes wit assorted items that get tossed in the pick up bed when it's time to camp along with the ice chests.

We are the same way, absolutely everything we need for the camper, stays in the camper, or on a shelf in the garage to be loaded in the truck. We bought mostly Wal-Mart cheap, except for certain items that needed to be tiny sized to fit.
 
Another thing I have also done, is I have duplicate  cords, chargers/USB hubs, for all of our electronics. (Cell Phones, camera batteries, iPad, computer, etc.) You can get the spare cords cheap enough on ebay. That way I don't have to worry about having chargers for our "stuff"
 
We also keep a first aid kit and a supply of OTC meds in the camper (sinus, headache, stomach, etc.)

We keep the camper kitchen fully equipped and still manage to forget things. I think the added hassle of trying to remember kitchen cooking stuff is not worth it. We however don't have mixing bowls (yet) most my pancakes are mixed in a tupperware container.
 
As far a s the Weber, its a must LOL. The smaller Q series tend to go on clearance at the end of the season at target and lowes. 
 
Happy Trails. 

When we first started camping, we used items from home, second-hand items, yard sale finds, etc.  Slowly over time I replaced them with more quality items that stay in the moho.  They only items I carry out from home are clothes and perishable food.
 
We learned the hard way to be able to pull out quickly.  Many years ago my parents were camping in Myrtle Beach, and we were to go down to meet them the following week.  I was at work one morning and got a call that my father had broken his hip and had to undergo emergency surgery.  Within two hours I drove home, packed up, and we hit the road.  We arrived just before Dad was taken into surgery. 

We used extra stuff we had for a lot of the pots, pans, silverware, etc. $20-$30 for mixing bowls seems like a lot to spend. We just went out and bought an everyday plastic nesting set that had covers for about $10 and they work great. They also have a pouring lip so makes getting those pancakes into the pan easy. 
 
Since we have lot's of plastic tubs we re-purposed three of them for food. Two stack together in the kitchen floor cabinet and one goes under the dinette seating. They make it nice for quick loading and unloaded and also help keep the critters away. 
 
For appliances we bought an inexpensive toaster and a small electric coffee maker for the wife. I also through an extra BBQ set I had into the trailer. Since we use the trailer pretty much year round we also picked a small electric fan and an electric heater. The fan can be clipped on or use a table base. We like the electric heater as it saves LP but is also a lot quieter than the gas furnace. 
 
Even though we have a built in stovetop I still carry a Coleman stove and lantern. There are some things I just don't want to cook in the trailer due to the smell or the mess and use the Coleman for that. It also comes in handy if we run out of LP around meal time. We had that happen once and learned from it after having to do everything in the microwave.
 
We keep a full set of towels and linens in the trailer. It also has its own cleaning supplies and tools. For anything that will freeze over winter we have plastic boxes they sit in in the shelves that we can grab and bring in and out when we get ready for a trip. Lastly I have a full set of tools that cover everything I might need for the trailer. Things loosen or break and this lets me fix them and not have to interrupt my trip.

We keep our camper fully stocked other than clothes and food.  So I guess I agree with you.  Yes, there were some initial investments when we first started camping, but many of those kitchen items have been moved from camper to camper for over a decade now.  Like you mentioned, in some cases we already owned an "extra" of something, like a coffee maker, so those just moved into the camper.  Where it made sense we bought cheap at Walmart....like mixing bowls for instance.  I didn't figure those needed to be top quality.  But a frying pan might want to be at least mid-range quality.  For cooking pans and utensils I think we found decent stuff at TJ Maxx.
 
Sheets and towels are items where we just designated extras from home....we never bought RV-specific sheets.  Sure those mattresses are a bit different sized, but we just tuck a bit more.  The RV ones can be pricey and really aren't necessary IMO.  The ones we use stay in the camper now...they get washed after trips and then go right back in.  Same with towels.  
 
Overall, we feel it's worthwhile because we are too busy to stock all of those items ahead of every trip or weekend we go out.  We'd probably use the RV less if packing up and going were more complicated.  It's enough just to have to pack the clothes and food for everyone.  

We've had all the cooking essentials including spices oil, and nonperishable food in every RV we've ever owned. Only removed the food when we winterized. Even had most of our clothes in there over the last 10-15 years.

I found this playing around in Google Earth. definitely backstage and past the train bridge. 
 

So yes, Animal Kingdom is really close to 192 also. You can take 192 to 27 very easily.

I would save your fastpasses for the afternoon/evening at MK. I really doubt you'll have much of any wait at Finding Nemo, definitely not need to rush there at rope drop.
 
I would pack up and drive over to AK. There will be parking for your trailer, no worries. You won't have to wait on a bus to/from and you'll be able to hit the road quicker.

I did some research on that, they actual use a system called the Syncrolift https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxWs486is5g 
The dry dock is located on the North East Corner of MK
here is one of the ferry's in the dry dock location back there, Pic from this site http://www.wcdept478.com/AbouttheFB.htm

 
when looking at google earth images, you can see the 4 lift motors( 2 are visable in the above pic, and then the track system to pull the ferry off the lift to a more serviceable area
 
the ferrys are 190 tons, 34'10" wide and  and 120' long with a draft of 5' 6"  at the keel, this is only 2 feet deeper than the motor launch used to service the Fort.
 
here is an image of the ferry heading that way to refuel or for service 

hmm little digging on Google earth shows this
The span in the orange is 100 ft, the width of the canal is the red circle is 75 feet
and the purple circle is where they are working, could they be making a bridge to connect the Grand floridan to MK via the walk way that already exists?

I put a male 3 prong plug in the "neck" and a  female 3 prong plug in the top of the 2" pipe so I can take head off in transport - had it come apart too many times!
 
 
If anyone is going to be at the fort next week, I'm bringing two bodyless mickey heads that have lights in the head and a led that shines down from "neck" - going to dress them up as ghosts...hopefully.

Hey I know this song just not the other

Great picture.
 
No wonder Disney is jacking up the prices on the passes.
 
You just cost them $14.99! :siren:
