Best gift for Mickey...

[jjb1974]

So, 2 years ago I went to WDW and my son was obsessed with giving gifts to Mickey for each character meal. 2 years on and we have just one meal planned at Chef Mickey's on our first full day (thanks foodies, but I know already). So, I don't know if anyone here has ever been a friend or assistant of the Head Mouse in Charge, but is there any special gift that might resonate a bit? Last time, I transcribed a note for my son where he told Mickey that he was his best friend and he loved him and that got a response, but I'd like to do something special for the Mouse and his pals. Anyone have any advice they can give based on experience?

I mean, I'm of limited means, so Mickey is not getting a Lamborghini nor am I deeding him my home, but beyond that, I've got a kid who things Mickey hung the moon and would like to say thanks with a gift.

Advice/insight/experience appreciated.

I don’t have a clue, but that is adorable.

Thought:
A prize ribbon (like a proverbial blue ribbon) that could be stuck to his costume easily, that read "Mickey Mouse #1."
Donald would not like that. If there was a playful bunch of chars at the time you were there, I bet it (they) would cause a scene.
Everyone knows Donald is #1
Maybe even a small towel with "Mickey Mouse #1" on it. I could see that causing the whole towel waving craze to break out.

Suggestion: Tell any "handlers" you see that you have a special gift for Mickey, and tell them what it is. They might plan/work out a spectacle of a scene for you before Mickey even comes to your table.

My DD has been Mickey’s bestie for quite a few years. Handmade cards and coloring pages adorn her refrigerator. One of the most cherished gifts that sits on her nightstand is a soup can decorated with felt to resemble R2D2...and it was gifted to her friend Jedi Mic during Star Wars Weekend.

So anything that your son has fashioned will be loved by Mickey.
