Ideas for our Christmas Reveal??

[saratrw]

I'm not sure which thread is the best to post this question but I'm looking for tips so....

Okay, so our boys are 8 and 9 and we are going on our first Disney Vacation in Feb 09. We are going on a land and sea vacation and it is going to be our boys Christmas' present. So, I'm looking for VERY INEXPENSIVE gifts for the boys to open on Christmas to reveal to them that we are going to Disney!!!

This will be their first (that they can remember) time on a commericial airline,first time seeing the ocean, first time at disney...etc. So we're thinking maybe a little cheap toy airplane, the paperwork that we've been receiving from Disney, the vacation planning dvd... Any other ideas? I was thinking maybe a new pair of tennis for each but would like them to try them on before we buy them. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!

Disney pencils, coloring books, stickers... you can sometimes even find them at the Dollar Store.

You can also order really nifty customized park maps online - they're free!

I also just read on another thread that you can send away for free signed character photos...

Kmart has a scazillion Disney things from toys to clothes to crayon/coloring books etc. I just put a ton of stuff on layaway (thank goodness for that huh) from Kmart this past weekend to suprise my nieces with their Xmas Disney trip (going in January).

Kmart also has a drawing going on where you can win huge prizes for Disney.

Have Mickey Mouse tell them. It only costs $2.49 for each call!
