ideas for surprises in room

[alliebug]

I would like to try to have something in our room to surprise DD2 when we get to WDW. We leave in 6 days so that doesn't leave a whole lot of time, but since we live in Jacksonville, FL we should still have time to ship something if I move fast.

I thought about the Christmas tree, but aside from them being pretty much sold out the high price tag is a bit of an issue.

I would love to hear what other people have done and get some ideas. She loves the princesses, Mickey, and Pooh if that helps anyone think of things to recommend.

Thanks a bunch. I have only had 2 weeks to plan this trip so I am really scrambling to get it done.

I have started to pick up little things already for DS7, DS4.5 and DD4.5 ...the first morning will be a Pal Mickey to share, two mornings will be matching Disney Tshirts from Disney Wharehouse, new Disney themed coloring books, one morning will be a new Disney Movie (not sure which one, I bought three for Christmas but will save one for the trip), one morning will be a new trading pin. The last morning will be something from Disney that they have asked for while they are there. I think that leaves me with one day to figure out.

"Mickey" visits our room while we're away at the theme parks. Usually DH or I will "forget" something in the room and at that time we pull out the presents, cards and/or decorations. DD is 3 and she always looks forward to her presents from Mickey.

I usually stock up on Disney merchandise at the St Aug outlets. So I just pack it along in our suitcases.

We just moved to Jacksonville and I haven't made it to the St. Augustine outlets yet. I may try and get there tomorrow or the next day. What store do you find the Disney stuff at? Is there a Disney outlet?

Look at the Dollar Tree too. They had alot of Cars and Princess things. My parents always did the same thing. They would leave little things for us each day. Ha we thought they were from Mickey. Even as teenagers. Oh and the dollar section at Target has cute Mickey things.

I think I have decided to play "Mickey" and leave things in our room for her each day myself. I checked out the Memories by Sarah website and it looks great but after talking to my husband, we (he) decided to leave that for another trip.

Any more ideas on where/what to get or special things to do would be appreciated.

Thanks
