There are 4 families going, 5 kids ages 10 and under! My step son is 10, he knows Disney isn't inexpensive and he really doesn't need to bring back toys and gadgets that he WILL NOT USE. There are 4 girls and 1 boy. This is our 3rd trip in 3 years, 2005 Disney free dining, 2006 Universal free dining/free rental car and 2007 Disney free dining. I found these adorable Disney gift bags that fold into boxes, they acutally look like a hat box, once they fold up, they have them in all the disney characters, including Mickey/Winnie/Princesses and even Pixar Cars. We are there 5 nights, each morning we are there, I bought a bag/box for each kid, and some are big, some are medium, I am going to surprise them with a note from "disney" with surprises in their bags, left outside their doors (their parents will know and after the first morning, I am sure the kids will be looking early in the next am, for their surprise bag from Disney, while I walk in the am, I will leave them at their doors and then call their parents via cell). I have been picking up little gifts here and there to fill the bags.....disney pez's, their favorite candy, pajamas, small backpacks, koolaid singles (they love them), lip gloss, keychains, card games, webkins, disney straws and etc......its amazing what you find at the dollar stores through out the months, and other stores with sales. This will eliminate the need for the kids to ask for a lot of souvenirs. The gift bag/boxes are adorable and very sturdy, I can't believe I found them at my dollar store, in a normal store these bags sell for $5 or $6 just for the bag/box. If you want pictures, just ask, they are so neat and colorful. I will just pack everything in one suitcase (using magical express, I don't have to lug around luggage) and take tissue paper with me, along with my computer Disney notes for each kid for each bag, each day.......
