Disney Trip Gift Ideas

[Tbird2281]

Hello! We are planning to take a trip to Disney in Nov. '16 with my husband, our kids, and his family - 8 people total. I want to get the adults Disney Survival Packs for Christmas this year....I'm thinking filter water bottles and ponchos and other stuff. Question is, what would you suggest for a survival pack? My husband, daughter, and I are the only 3 that have been before and only once. I believe my mother-in-law will be buying us magic bands for Christmas so that is off the list. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

Hmmm. Since they are for the adults that makes it a bit harder than if it was for the kids.
I think the ponchos is a great idea. Could you maybe put all your items in a personalized cinch sack with Mickey ears/design - we found some on Etsy last time and they are adorable! What about Hidden Mickey books? Those extra charging banks for your phones - we took those last time and they were helpful.

One thing that is definitely needed and not sold at the parks would be chewing gum and mints. The peppermint kind help settle an upset stomach and subsides hunger until you can get to your food destination.

Not sure how much you were going to spend but a $20 portable phone charge from amazon would be amazing. I don't know where we would be without ours.

CodeGoddess said it, but they also have $8 ones at Wal-Mart. I have the one from Wal-Mart works like a champ.

First aid items (Disney band aids, small sized sunscreen, etc.), hat, sunglasses, Disney gift card.....

These mini first aid kits are $1 at Target, have everything you could need and look so cute if you make a little sticker for the front of them. We did this for the out of town bags for our wedding with a custom sticker on the front.

ETA: Found the image of the ones I made.

You could do a Disney sticker for the front.

Some individually wrapped Tylenol or Aleve and they also sell individually wrapped motion sickness meds. My DH would suggest alcohol but I assume you are looking just for things that can be taken into the park.

I did something similar for my friend's bday last week. I bought her the backpack I used (she saw mine and loved it), Brita water bottles, ponchos, battery charger and a mini sewing kit (they have really cool ones at the Dollar Store that have thread, needles, scissors etc etc etc).

moleskin and body glide in a little travel pack
individual packets of gatorade or powerade drink mix

hard to know what else they are into but I'm an adult (or at least convince most people I am) and I go bezerk over the pressed penny book I got off Amazon for my upcoming trip. And also a pin starter kit. If they have ever collected coins or something like that they might get a kick out of pressing pennies or trading pins.
