Gift basket for teen boys

[snowman]

When we head to The World this summer DNephew will be making his first trip as a Teenager (13) and we will be bringing his best friend (14) ...another teenager . Anyway - this is DNephew's 3rd trip and his friend's 1st so I wanted to have a gift basket type of thing in our room for them, to start their trip out special.

I need ideas of what to do for teen boys that says Disney without saying Baby or Girl....though they have both declared they want Ears (Carl already has two pairs and believes he needs a pair every trip), so I guess baby is a relative term. They also have Stitch, Mickey & Pooh on their list of must sees.

So here's what I'm thinking so far - a Custom Passport for Epcot - WS (I'll make this as I want to use maps, etc), autograph/photo album book, huge pen, disposable camera & ears...and of course a Mickey snack. Any other suggestions? Somebody out there must have boys and have run in to this concern.....puhleeeze?

What about a water bottle holder and a mister fan. The summer is so hot and these would come in handy

A card with some money on it for arcade games. A t-shirt or ball cap from ESPN or Planet Hollywood. A certificate for a round of mini-golf. If you're really rich, a Richard Petty Driving Experience. I may come back with more. These just are off the top of my head.

I really like the idea of the Pirate ears....now, I can I get them before our trip? I looked at laughing place and they only appeared to have the youth sized ears. Any other suggestions for those?

The card for the arcade sounds like a great idea. Can you purchase these ahead of time or only at the arcade when you arrive?

We are all going to have the Cool Downz neck wraps, otherwise the mist fans would be a great idea. Maybe I'll put the Cool Downz in Disney fabric for added effect.

WDW does have a mail order option, (I've used for Mickey mac&cheese to surprise the kids every now & then) however check out the shipping rate I hear they have increased & can be high. I imagine they could help with the arcade cards too. WDW Mail Order 407-363-6200 or email wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com.
Wonder if they would even the mongram the boys names on for you?, Cute!

Disney $ for snacks. Teen age boys snack a lot!!!!!

They might still be into the pressed coin thing. That is a lot of fun.

cool sun glasses
