Last minute suggestions

[kimis]

We are taking three of our granddaughters on monday for their fourth birthdays but we haven't been a while. :: So I am hoping some of you will have some last minute ideas for us. We haven't been in four years and so much has changed. Thank you for all your ideas in advance

Take plenty of snacks.
Make sure you have a rest period.
follow their lead.
When waiting in line make sure you have something for the girls to be occupied with.
Use rider swap if needed.

Have fun

Pick up the birthday buttons at City Hall

We took our DDs when they were 4. They really liked the autograph books. They are 13 and 20 now, and still have those books. It was our best investment. So, my recommendation is an autograph book each and big pens so it is easy for the characters to sign.

One more...rent the strollers, it was soooo worth it!

If you're driving, be sure to have plenty of things to do in the car. We blow bubbles, open a little gift every couple of hours (something from the dollar store), stop at a Play Place half way, etc.

You could go to Bippity Boppity Boutique for princess updo's.
Ask at the Mark Twain to ride up in the wheelhouse.
There is a birthday party celebration at the Plaza Inn (not sure of the cost maybe around $18 a person).
Get birthday buckets.
Ask at the Main Street train station, to ride on the tender.
You can have a birthday cake(s) delivered to a Disney restaurant or hotel room.
Get them those big funky birthday cake candle hats.
My kids wear flashing buttons that read "It's My Birthday"
Have face painting done.
Go to Build a Bear Workshop.
We head straight for Alice in Wonderland first thing (or if we haven't seen Tink in a while, we head there). Then to Autopia, Nemo, IASW, back to Fantasyland for the happiest potty on earth, then Dumbo, Casey Jr., Snow White, Peter Pan, Storybook Canal Boats, that's our order.
Bring baggies to split snacks in the park such as a popcorn or candies.
We make a sit down ressie for one meal a day to regroup, relax and plan our rides.

Have fun!

I agree with this! Still have mine from my first trip, and I'm almost 25

My DD is 18 and still has her autograph books and penny press books. The penny presses are great for little ones!

Stop at the dollar store and get some glow sticks if you are planning on being there in evening. And some cheapie gloves, its getting chilly here after sunset.
