Creative Help Needed - Tink Type Gifts

[DINKDisneyAddict]

As my nickname says, we are double-income, no kids, Disney Addicts. We are going to see the Mouse again in September, and we are taking our three year old nephew with us. (We are letting his parents come, too ) This will be his first trip to the World, so we are excited to see the magic through his eyes. We *love* to spoil him. He is cute as a button and so well-behaved. That being said, I have tons of fun things I have found on this board that I would like to do to surprise him. I just need your help with some creative details. Here's what I would like to do....

1. Before we go, sending letters from the characters telling him that they can't wait for him to come. I also want to include something like...."and remember, we may look small on TV, but we are really much taller than you think. So don't be frightened when you see us!" I am concerned that he'll shy away from the "big stuffed animals" (characters).

2. Countdown calendar with HD Mickey Heads to pull off every day.

3. During the trip, a gift every morning, a gift when we get back to the room in the afternoon for a nap, and a gift before we go to bed. All of these gifts would also come with a note from a character. I want to coordinate these gifts with what we are doing for the day. For example, the day that we go to Animal Kingdom, the note at night would be from Simba, saying how much he enjoyed seeing him today with a Simba stuffed animal. Here's what I have collected so far....

7 short and shirt sets with Disney characters on them
Nemo swim trunks and towel
Mickey sunglasses and flipflops
Pooh nightlight
Stuffed Animals: Tigger, Pooh (dressed like Buzz Lightyear), 32" Mickey, 16" Mickey that you use to teach snap, velcro, etc., 10" pooh, large Simba, Brother Bear, 16" Minnie, 24" Tigger that talks when you hug him, Nemo and a couple more that I don't remember. I picked these up at Goodwill and garage sales. I didn't pay more than $2 for any of them! Most of them were 50 cents to $1!
Disney themed jump rope, paddle ball, silly putty
Light spinner
Basically all the little Dollar Tree Disney stuff
Disney books and coloring books
Disney 3D stickers and paper to create the cards for the notes

So there are most of the things that I have. I just need help putting them all together. Does anyone still have a copy of the notes that they sent to the kids/grandkids? Does anyone have any cute ideas to put all of this together or how to phrase the letters from different characters? For example, Mickey says things like "Golly" "Pal" and "Oh boy" a lot. Also, do you know where I can get the Disney fonts? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

And, yes, I do know we are spoiling him rotten!

I thought I might need to be more specific in my request for help. I am looking for help writing the notes from each character. Here’s what I have so far. Dis-ers will be able to tell where we will be going each day from some of the notes. I can’t think of something to say for some of the characters…Please help!!! All the notes are basically going to be scrapbook pages with the 3-D Disney stickers.

Note from Mickey Mouse
“Welcome to Disney World, Pal! I am so excited for you to be here! There are lots of fun and exciting things for you to see and do. Come see my giant sorcerer's hat, but remember to keep your elbows off the table at dinner! All of my friends are excited to see you, too! If you are a good little boy, some of them will visit your room and leave you lots of presents. But remember, the magic can see everything you do, so you have to be really, really good. Are you ready? Then let's get started! Your Friend, Mickey Mouse
P.S. Think your Aunt Ellen packed a lot of stuff? Well, she forgot the Kitchen Sink! You should go by Beaches and Cream later tonight to pick one up with her!”

Perhaps tomorrow you will visit EPCOT and see more of my friends. There are lots of new things to see and do. Tigger and I brought you a night light. It will scare away all of the heffalumps and woozles! Use it in the bathroom, so you don't get scared like Piglet. Pooh”

Hey there Little Saul, no no no, Little ummmm, Big….hmmm, I just can't see to remember……what was it again, oh yeah, Little Paul! Hey there Little Paul!

She told me she might stop by with a present from the Lost Boys. Are you wearing your tag every day? We wouldn't want you to become a lost boy, too!

[nonzerosum]

Will you adopt me! You sound like such a fun and loving auntie. Have a great time!!

 

[MrsSilvaStrat]

Adopt me too!!! lol

Have you included any of the candybars?? Or maybe some Disney Dollars for him to spend??

Also - DoNatalie's Epcot Passport maybe a character could leave it for him and if he gets all the stamps he could get a reward of Disney Dollars or something.

Good Luck and have a fantastic time!
