Disney tips

[kristinarvold]

We are surprising our 3 kids with a Disney Land and Sea vacation in Feb. and are telling them at Christmas. Would love to find a place to get the Disney autograph books and any other fun ideas

The easiest way to purchase autograph books and related merchandise is at the resort gift shop. Why stress trying to find it outside of DL?? As far as fun ideas, go to the Disney for Families Board and look over the pages for similar threads. "Fun Ideas" is so individual to each family...I'm sure you'll see things on past threads that you can use or discard.
Have a wonderful time. What a nice surprise!

Go to your local TDS and pick up some inexpensive trinkets and put them in little baggies with a note inside telling them they're going to Disneyland and Sea World. Kids love this. You're giving it to them for Xmas so give it to them in gift form. JMO.

although everyone is mentioning Disneyland (california) I assume you actually mean you are going to WDW and on the Disney cruise, what a lucky family!

there is a wonderful bunch of people if you go to the cruise board on this site that would love to help you surprise the family and can help you prepare for your trip.

As far as ordering things from Disney World, your best bet is to call their merchandise number (which I don't have handy at the moment) they will charge you the actual price (around $6 each) plus a shipping charge but no sales tax.

If you do have a Disney store near you, it might be nice to wrap up some Disney Dollars that they could spend on the trip. They are charged dollar for dollar in $1, $5, and $10 increments.

Do they have any clue what a treat is coming their way?

Not a clue!! They are convinced that we are waiting to go until our youngest is atleast 7yrs., she is 5 now. This should be a shocker
