Disney Treat Bags (Teens)

[Disney Ontario]

Hi. I am making up tow treat Disney bags, for our two teens 14 & 18.(girls)I found Mickey gift bags to use. I hope to give them on our first night on the way down. Now what kind of cute things can I put in them. I have found
-Glow in dark Mickey head bands(Dollar Store)
-Cute pairs of socks
-Portable I Pod speakers(14)
-Deal or No Deal hand held game(18)
I am thinking about putting in American money in the Disney envelopes they got for christmas.
:confused3 :confused3 :confused3

It's good to hear that there are others that do treat bags even for teens. I am taking 4 teens as a graduation celebration, and am putting some together too. I found some Adidas cinch sack athletic bags on sale (good for taking stuff to the waterparks and to the pool--the swim team kids use them) and I am filling them with fun things.

Since they really like the Pirates movie, I bought the $1 plastic treasure chests from Target and filled them with the gold $1 coins and also some chocolate gold coins. Then I also have:

*small hand lotion
*Disney fruit snacks
*cute socks
*Disney pens--they were just regular Bic pens with Tinkerbell on them in a Pkg of 6
*fun purse size kleenex packs (with kitties on them)
*individually wrapped handi wipes
*$1 emergency ponchos
*gum
*small bag of hard candy
*Disney band aids

That's all I can think of from memory right now...

I think they all will have fun with them. And, most of the stuff is very practical stuff that they need anyway.

Which dollar store had the Mickey Headbands? Dollar Tree?

I love this idea. How about:

1. sunglasses
2. lip balm/sunscreen
3. disposable cameras
4. photo album


I love the poncho idea!

Great Ideas! :thumbsup2

I am taking 2 teens, DS and DD :cutie: pirate:

I was going to give them quarters for the press machines.

They already have a camera and a front pack that holds a water bottle.

:tink:

The lip balm is a good idea. I carry the "Cars" chapstick in my purse (the one with Mater on it (aka Larry the Cable guy), maybe I need to add some Disney princess or Nemo chaptstick in their treat bags...

Another idea is a deck of cards (especially if you are driving or flying a long ways). You could get an inexpensive deck from the Dollar store, or I have seen some with Mickey and the Princesses on them in KMart. :thumbsup2

that sounds like fun!!!

there is usually some type of disney lollipops at the dollar store that would be fun,,,,what about glow bracelets,,,,suntan lotion,,,,,,and more gum (you cant buy gum at disney),,,

[vwdisney]

When we drive down with our DS (6), we wrap presents for him for every day the we are on the road. Each day is something different, so he never knows what to expect. I am not certain if you are driving or flying so this may not work.

Cheers!

I am purchasing things for DD13 as our trip is for her BDAY.

We will be having a surprise party (she should be surprised as it will actually be 2 weeks early) a few days before we leave. This will be when she learns that we are going to Disney.

I found a TINK book light & a TINK night light (to provide small amount of light for hotel room). Both were at Best Buy for under $3.00 each.

M&M tube decorated with stickers & filled with quarter & pennies (layered 2 quarters & 1 penny) for penny squishing.

Disney t-shirts can be found at Walmart.

I am having a friend pick up Disney Dollars while they are at Disney that I will put into a money card.

Also, buying "cheap" Disney pins (buying large lot) in order for DD to have pins for trading.

Autograph books & large pen.

Extra batteries for DD's digital camera & MP3 player.

New DVD to watch on the plane (often the movie on the plane is not worth watching).

Sunglasses

[billwendy]

they had really cute Tinkerbell t-shirts in the junior department at Kohls - very fasionable for teens - that might be a cute addidition or bday present!! i think they were 9.99 - i was with a 14 year old at the time and she said she would wear that to school (since it didint just look like a regular t)

[Belladonna]

here are summore ideas :)

1. hand sanitizing gel (like the really nice smelling ones from bath & body works)
2. SPF lipblam
3. glow sticks/glow bracelets
4. Disney PEZ

[nettii]

Some one said something about lolipops Kmart had some light up tigger,Pooh, and Mickey ones.Also they had a buch of proncess and cars candies.

I'm doing the same for SDD18, this trip is for her high school graduation present (she chose). I'm also making one for DS10. They are each getting a new DVD to watch on the plane, lip balm, Purel (with the lime green holder they can attach to their bag/purse), disposable/water proof cameras (for the water parks), some munchies and Disney dollars. Then for DS a new pin or two for trading and an M&M container filled with pennies & quarters. SDD is also getting some Disney stationery (I made on my computer) with envelopes and postage so she can write to her boyfriend and mom and some hand lotion. Then I was thinking when we get closer to our trip I will get each of them a magazine to read.

After reading this post I will probably add some glow sticks too.

Last year I made them travel pillows and blankets out of Disney printed fleece I bought at Joann Fabrics.

You can get glow bracelets at Michaels - a tube full (10 or 15 in there) for $1! Great deal!!!!

A small flashlight is also nice to have for the dark nights.

I also pack lots of those hiking clips - they are terrific for hanging things off a backpack that you can easily reach.

I Disney cell phone holders at 5 Below...they were $3 I think, and had Mickey, Grumpy and/or Tink. Love attaching them to lanyards so the cell phone is handy and I can set it vibrate so I don't miss any calls!

Travel sunblock is a good idea also...sometimes I find these at Walmart with a hiking clip already attached too.

[Vannah]

Gum is always good.

You guys have such great ideas...making my list...I love making little treats bags for the kids( well DD is 16 and DS 9 and their friends are coming with us 10 and 15)...and putting them in the window...

[smi727]

What about Disney Dollars or a Disney gift card so your teens can buy souvenirs that they want?

Have a ????, several years ago, I went to the disney store, I was told, you could not use gift cards in Disney.....so I went head and got the disney money. Can you use disney gift cards in wdw now?

[pugcrazy]

DH has been buying Disney Trading Pins on Ebay (buying lots that average $2.00 per pin). We will give DD several pins each day for trading. I have gotten a few (mostly Tink pins) that we will be keeping.

DD thinks she is too old for Glow necklaces,but I am getting some to hand out to young children we meet in the evenings. Spread the Magic:wizard:

[Poohbr98]

Target has had a lot of Disney stuff in there dollar bins. I was there today and they had a bunch of pirates and princess stuff. They had pirate lanyards, stickers, and notepads. The also had princess crayons paper and pens. They have had stickers and paper and had a lot of pooh stuff A couple weeks ago. It changes so often but they usually seem to have disney stuff in there.

This is a great idea, I am just subscribing.

We do a surprise bag for the first night and then little goodies appear on their pillows each night. It sounds silly to write but I have pillow cases made (I don't sew). We've done this for several years for all sorts of special occasions. My teens now KNOW they are coming but still like the surprise of seeing what material and trimmings will be used. They're Mickey cases this year.

Penlights, flashlights
Small deck of Mickey Mouse playing cards from Cracker Barrel Restaurant
Cheap handheld electronic games for waiting in lines
Teen daughter received a ebay gift card to find her "perfect" backpack to carry in the parks.
Hair ribbons with little Mickeys on them
Baseball cap
Avon lip balm in disney cases .99
Postcards and stamps to send to friends and family at home.

Since you are a fellow Ontarian, I would recommend Dollarama as it had tons of Disney items for $1 (that's only about 75 cents US:lmao: ) For my US friends, it's worth the trip . . . throw on your parka and come on over for the deals;)

Dollarama has a whole bunch of stationery-related items and the cutest round lipbalm, hair accessories, mini change purses, frames, etc. You can FILL the bags for cheap!!!

Also, if you go to Claire's, they have wonderful Pirates items that can be added (If they like POTC). I just bought my kids replicas of the necklace that Elizabeth Swan wears! (buy one get one 1/2 off) Claire's also has a lot of pirate items for .99.

I am also subscribing to this thread.
I think I will do up something like that for DS 11.
I am getting excited just thinking of all the stuff I can put together.
Thanks for the great ideas!
Should I give it to him for Easter or wait until we leave?
He actually graduates from 5th grade the day we start on our trip.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

[4daubers]

Begin anytime! It extends the magic!

[nettii]

4daubers I love the idea of the pillow cases. I thought of doing this and having them waiting on their own beds at home with a note from Mickey saying Miss you come back soon or some thing like that. I never thought of doing it at the resort. Do you use their pillows? Does house keeping just leave them on?
Thanks Hope you have a good trip!

Teen Bags! We have a Save a Lot and this last week they had Mickey suckers,cheapie ones in a bag with other soft candie. They also had some pens and pencils and a ton of stickers. The stickers are very cute! They would be good to decorate bags ect.
Happy Packing All! Nettii:goodvibes

[toofarnorth]

Thank you fellow Dis'ers !! :cool1: As always, these ideas are fantastic and very creative. We are taking our second family Disney trip in August and I thought DDs (14 and 11) were past the thrill of treat bags. Wow, am I wrong. Perhaps this will bring some youth back to my "talking back, attitude filled" 14 yo. :rotfl:

My girls loved the glow earrings that I found at the dollar store. I bought several earrings, bracelets and necklaces and did what pp did, let the girls give them to some children who loved their earrings.

the 20 questions hand held game is always fun to do while waiting in line. My DD(13) and DS(11) love theirs.

[pooh2001]

What I am doing for each if our teen's Easter baskets at WDW - DS game, Chocolate bunny, Pirate of Caribbean book marks (barnes & noble had them), and something small from the resort gift shop. :goodvibes

[emerymt]

Today Target had nylon Pirates bags with Jack Sparrow on the front for $1, and little spiral-bound Pirates notebooks. Also found tiny Disney digital cameras- really cute!

I also ordered books from Amazon: a disney trivia book, one on Imagineering, and the Star Wars Visual guide by DK (They make the Eyewitness books which are fabulous). We will be there during Star Wars Weekends. Plus, we all just like Star Wars!

Also, picked up a 20 questions game and the little bottles of hand sanitizers that clip to the outside of their fanny packs. Thanks for the tips!

[4daubers]

netti - we bring our own pillows but I bet WDW housekeeping would leave them on.
