I am planning on surprising my family with an event from Gifts of a Lifetime when we are at WDW right after Thanksgiving this year. Jane has a fun event planned (she's calling it the "Amazing Family Race"!) that will end with each family member earning a "prize" for completing their portion of the race. I LOVE the idea, my problem is I am having trouble thinking up what some of the prizes should be. The players will be me, my DH, our DS12, DS6, my older brother (mentally handicapped), and my parents. I know that I plan to make my brother's prize a Pal Mickey, and I think I'm going to try to get a nice photo album with the year on it for my mom, but I'm having trouble with DS12 - I know I could go with a game boy game or Disney Dollars, but those are both things he'll be getting before the trip too. Jane mentioned an interactive, hand held Disney triva game - anybody know anything about these? I'm also stumped with my dad - he's an easy going kind of guy but his interests are kind of limited - his biggest hobby is fishing and I can't afford (or have the time) to do a fishing excursion or anything like that! He also doesn't really wear t-shirts or sweatshirts (just button downs!) He does like hats and coffee cups though, so if I can't come up with anything more original, I might have to go with something like that. I think I'll probably try to find some Toy Story theamed toy for DS6, although he's BIG time into Batman (or other super heo's with a cape)...For some reason though, I just would love to make all the prizes Disney theamed - seems more appropriate to me. I even considered trying to do an illuminations or wishes cruise as a "collective" prize, but my mom is not a big fan of boats - they make her nervous and that doesn't seem like a very good "prize" for her! I know there's always Disney Dollars - but there will be lots of those flying around here for b-days etc. before the trip, so I was hoping to think of something different. If anyone has any idea's for me I'd LOVE to hear from you! Thanks for taking the time to read this - sorry it got so long!
