Disneyland Survival Kit

[redshoes]

I'm trying to come up with a cute idea for a gift for my MIL for Mother's Day. She is taking half of her kids and grandkids (it's not our year to travel with them) to Disneyland the end of May and I thought it might be a nice idea to put together a little survival kit for her. I thought about buying a cute tote bag and including a guide book, but thats where my bright idea goes a little dim. What else would be fun to have in a Disney Survival Kit?

travel size containers of otc meds (immodium, pepcid, tylenol, sudafed or benedryl), a tube of desitin (it works REALY well on heat or any other types of rashes as well as can be soothing for sun burns or insect bites), sunscreen, insect repellant). a fanny pack (so much easier to carry the bare necessities in), a roll of quarters (if they need to use laundry facilites or rent luggage carts at the airport), a phone calling card (if you use these instead of dialing direct through a hotel or motel phone you can save big buck-esp if your cell phone has high long distance charges). i also like $2.00 bills which i get at the bank prior to leaving-great for tips! if she is taking a camera and does'nt have a waterproof case that would be a great addition as well.

Those are some good practical suggestions.

Some to add that would be more in the sanity saving category:

Roll of quarters and shiny new pennies for pressed pennies.

Disney Dollars to hand out for Mickey Bars.

Those tiny books of word search, crosswords, etc and some pencils.

Is your mom of an age to know how to do cat's cradles? Some string if you think she is...

Maybe a scavenger hunt for them? Although there are the 50 hidden golden mickey's to look for at Disneyland this summer, maybe you could think of something else for them to be looking for while they wait for the parade, fireworks, etc?

Film, or a memory card, or however she takes photos.

Small snacks like cereal bars, cheerios, etc. Lifesavers, mints, etc.

And maybe you could make a tee shirt that says something like "I Survived a trip to Disneyland with my Grandkids" if that is something she would wear. I know my grandma would wear that to her meeting just so she would get the attention.

Then some small packs of tylenol, those bandaids with the antibacterial on them already, small package of kleenex...etc

And come over to the Disneyland board and print off the list of free things to do and secrets for her as well.

Cute present!
