Or planning on doing it?
This is our second time to DL. We are staying at the SP mid Sept for a week. I looked at the welcome packages offered in the resort hotels and thought about having gift baskets delivered to our hotel. I thought about what I could do for much less money leaving more in the budget for a couple fun meals in the parks. (Blue Bayou resi made!)
I plan on checking in (around dinner time) sending the kids and DH for a swim and doing the room up then joining them.
I have gift baskets for each child with disney beach towels, swim suits, flip flops, pj's, t-shirts, toiletries, lanyards, pins and random fun bits and pieces. I have been scouring the sales at the Disney Store online...and made a few good scores at Kohl's and Target. I live in Canada so was finding Disney merchandise here is made for the younger kids to size 6x....my kids are 8-13.
I have some die cuts coming from Etsy. I am planning on making a "Surprise" banner for the door and a "Welcome" banner for over the dresser mirror in the room. I also have big mickey head confetti and some Tink silhouettes. I was planning on using poster tack to hang anything...no chance of damage!!
I am thinking of ordering a balloon bouquet to be at the hotel when we arrive and am going to try and find some treats. Anyone have any ideas? We are driving so do have some wiggle room with packing. I was also thinking mickey rice krispie treats. I could make them and they would hold and travel well.
So....I know this is a popular thing to do at DW. What about DL??
I'd love to hear anyone's experiences or ideas!!!!!
