I Know This Has Been Asked A Thousand Times Re: Gift Baskets

[Lilysmom]

But the search function is down so I have to ask it again.

We will be going to WDW for DD's 5th birthday in the beginning of March. DH and I just booked it yesterday and it is a surprise. I'd like to have baskets done for her and her sisters. I was also wondering if it was possible to have the room at the resort decorated with balloons. Any helpful advice or links are GREATLY appreciated.

She is "Feralpeg" here on the DIS....and quite popular.

We used Peggy at Christmas when we stayed at AKV.
She decorated & brought in a Christmas tree.
The kids loved it!!

Hi
I wanted to make my family a special treat for March break ,,I've been working on them for the past two weeks. I bought inexpensive Disney character bags and filled them with :

5.00 Disney beach towel from sears.(Nemo, Little mermaid ,Pooh,Tigger)

4.99 Nemo spray sunblock

Disney lip balm (dollar store)

Disney shrek chocolate treats (dollar store)

Disney Vintage tin card deck ( 2.99 Giant Tiger store)

Disney shaped Mickey head ears tupperware container -to hold Shrek candies
(Disney store)pkg of three 2.99

Kids disposable cameras (3.99 each walmart)

Disney flashing pins (dollar store)

Night light glow sticks (asortment of 5 colors) great for parades.

POTC tattoos (Zellers 2.99 )

Disney's character head bubbles (Sears 99 cents each)


After I fit everything into the bag I slipped the bag into a clear plastic (basket) bag wrapper--(4 for a dollar at the dollar store). I used one small dollar store pk of Disney stickers to decorate. I bought some Disney ribbon after christmas on sale cheap and added a bow to each of the bags.
I plan on using Home Depot's paint chip cards as gift tags.
I will be taking them down in my extra suitcase and upon check-in ask if they (check in Castmember) would give them to my kids when they arrive --later flight than me this time. If not I'll just slip them into the room.
I had fun searching for and making these and the cost was around 25.00 each bag,,however much cheaper than had I called Disney florist or an outside agency.

Well off to work on my Treasure Hunt game for them,,thanks for letting me share
Hugs Mel
