Good gift for girls headed to Disney?

[MrsGoofyMitchell]

We have some friends who are bringing their daughters to Disney for the first time. They are 5 and 8. They are also flying. I am putting together a basket of stuff. I'm trying to think of stuff they might need while down there in the parks.

Any ideas?

Glow necklaces/bracelets. I got my nieces a bunch at Target that were on clearance from Halloween. They are going in December.

Here are some ideas:

* sets of 2 quarters/1 penny for penny press machines
* jibbitz if they croc
* disposable camera
* swim goggles for pool

I was at Target today and they have a bunch of Princess stuff (and Cars) in the dollars bins at the front of the store. I think the notepads were unlined so they could either dram in them or use them as Autograph books. I saw crayons to. Not sure what else they had, I was more focuse on the car socks. DS3 prefers Cars over the Princess...go figure!

The Dollar Store has glow bracelets/necklaces too. Also disney coloring books.
If you have a disney store nearby, their Tshirts are usually on sale pretty cheap, $6 or so.

Target has a cute Minnie Tshirts right now and some Hannah Montana clothes too. Target and Walmart both have princess/tink lip chapstick. Sunglasses are good too. Kroger (and sometimes Best Buy) has Disney disposable cameras.

You can get them a charm bracelet to start...the parks are full of character charms to collect. Walmart has necklaces with Hannah, Tink or Princesses.

Notebooks are good for the plane/car ride. I get my girls the nice notebooks as the disney store (on clearance) and they use it as a diary for the trip. We usually write down our favorite things about each day or what we learned that day.

Can you tell I shop all year long for their Disney goody bags??...we are going in 3 weeks, so I was just going through my storage bin!

They are the perfect age for Guide to the Magic for Kids. It is an excellent book w/ all the attractions, stickers for each, journal pages, etc.

They can use it before their trip to generate excitement, during to fill everything out, and then it is a great souvenier and trip "report" for kids afterwards.

Don't forget Disney dollars, what kid doesn't like their own spening money???

Great replies, thank you!

How about checking out pin trading. You can get some great pin lots on ebay to trade or collect.
