Disney Pencils

[lynnanddbyz]

I am a teacher's aide. I am going to Disney in a few weeks. I will be missing time from school. All of my kids know I am going. I would like to give them a little something when I come back. They all know I am going to Disney. They are ALWAYS out of pencils. My problem is I work with 3 classes. I have 65 sometimes a little more students. My question is where can I buy Disney pencils in quantities? I would buy 100 if that is how they came. I do not have a fortune to spend on them. I can find princesses at Dollar tree but only 3 in a pack. Any suggestions?

A party store like Party City usually has packs of 12 and lots of variety.

I remember buying pencils at WDW for my son's 1st grade class when we took him out of school to go. It seems they were only a few dollars for a dozen at World of Disney. I know I wouldn't have spent a lot of money on them, but I wanted him to have something to bring back to his friends.

Amazon has a small selection of character pencils that come in 144 ct boxes http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Doffice-products&field-keywords=disney%20pencil%20144 (If that link doesn't work search disney pencil 144).
Smilemakers and Oriental Trading carry Disney stickers if you wanted to go a different route, though I think the pencils are a great idea! You could also try searching ebay, I got a number of bulk pens for my vow renewal off of ebay.

I teach Kindergarten and just came back from a Halloween party getaway last week. I told my kids I'd bring them something back (something small) and tried for pencils. The ones I saw came in packs of 8 and were $9.95 a pack. I would have had to get 3 packs. Instead, I asked at the resort desk for the Mickey stickers and then cm gave me 100 for free lol My kids LOVED the stickers!! You can still get them regular pencils that are way cheaper at home and give them a sticker and a pencil.

Many times Target has pkg of 8 pencils for a $1. Sometimes they are the pop point type where you pull the lead out when it is dull and push it back into the top. I've seen disney pencils several times.

I've also seen pkg of tattoos at the Dollar Store with several Disney varieties.

Michaels seems to have a lot of Disney stuff in their dollar section.

Party city also has lots of inexpensive Disney items including stickers.

I second the free stickers. You can get them everywhere and the CMs have no problem giving you a bunch to pass out to the kids at home. My grandson loves to bring them back to the kids in his class and they love stickers. There are two different Mickey designs that are easy to find and there are other designs that I have only seen a few times. The booths at the parks for DVC have stickers but they are advertisement type for Aulauni in Hawaii. Sometimes the monorail drivers and the CMs standing at the monorail will have transportation cards and monorail "wings" stickers.
You can also go to MK each day and get a packet of Sorcerer cards. they are free at the old FireHouse. There are 60 different cards but you get a pack of 5 each day for each admission ticket you have so if you go with others you can get enough for all the kids in a few days. One or two cards would be cute. They are character photo cards with powers etc... written on them, kind of like the "Magic Cards" the teens collect.
Pop and All Star food courts sell Mickey straws but they would be expensive for all the kids. I remember them running about $.50 each.
I would check other places for Disney type pencils. They are more expensive at the parks.
Now here is a silly souvenier, not sure if they would give you a bunch, but my grandson loves the kids meal menus from all the sit down restaraunts. They have games and word search, puzzles, jokes etc all printed on them. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
That is all I can think of right now, I will ask my grandson in the morning what other little free things he has gotten at the parks and let you know.

Thank you for the sticker idea. I will ask when we go. That is a great idea to give the sticker and a regular pencil. I have those I got with the back to school sales. Will see if I have enough for everyone. Did not know they would give me that many stickers. I will ask. Thanks for the tip.

I teach Kindergarten also. During spring break trips, I always bring each of my kids back a map of the Magic Kingdom. The first year I did it, I asked a CM if it would be OK to take 25 maps, she handed me a stack from each park. Every year since then I always bring back a Magic Kingdom map. I can't believe how much fun the kids have with a map! I have turned it into a lesson now on reading a map and finding what the key means. Most of the kids in my class have never been to Disney and get so excited to "read" the map!

If you have transportation the Walmart near WDW has an amazing selection of disney souvenirs and packs of pencils are super cheap!
