OK, maybe this is not officially sanctioned by the Walt Disney corporation, and maybe I invented the whole idea, but a couple of months ago I mentioned to the kids that one family each day is chosen by the Walt Disney Corporation to receive Mickey Boxes. I told them that these are shoebox-sized boxes filled with small items from the Walt Disney Corporation and are given to the children in the family. I said I thought it was such a cool idea, but they said they were sure they'd never get picked because A LOT of people went to Disney every day, and only ONE was picked. I agreed, but said it was fun to think about.
Before we left, I went to Micheal's and got two of their photo boxes, one in red, one in blue. I put some Disney stickers on them and filled them each with a Disney t-shirt, a Pez dispenser, a small Disney puzzle from the dollar store, a plastic Disney cup, some Disney stickers and a small Disney stuffed animal. We hid them in the car and snuck them into the condo. When we left this morning, I suddenly had to use the bachroom and ran back in. I put a Mickey Box on each of their beds and met them in the parking lot.
When we got back tonight, you should have heard the whoops and hollers! They knew exactly what the boxes were and they could NOT believe they got picked as the "Disney Family of the Day!" It was a very fun moment watching them open them and be in awe over their luck.

There were balloons everywhere, confetti, 2 mickey/minnie mouses, 2 buckets, filled with shirts, coloring things, coins for the arcade, build a bear like bears, with shirts and stuffing, mickey ears, on the table disney paper plates, cups, and napkins, apple cider, choco strawberries, $200 gift certs, a big welcome written on dining room mirror, and much more I've failed to remember. Every time we turned around we found something else in the room. It wasn't isolated to one area, it was everywhere! We were in awe, and the kids were giddy excited. Come to find out, we had a card on the table, from my husbands boss (CEO), telling us to have a great vacation. It's a wonderful memory, we were as excited as the kids. : )
