Me and Jolly Old St. Nick need help!

[Tootles]

Hi everyone! Will be going to WDW the end of November/beginning of December and plan on doing all our Christmas shopping while we're there. Yes I've budgeted! Been saving forever it seems! We have a DS8 and DS6 who will be getting a WDW postcard left by Santa himself on Christmas morning. What I want to know, is what great ideas do you have for Stocking Stuffers? I was thinking Disney Racers, candy, a CD each, a keychain for their backpacks etc. What great ideas can you give me for items $10 or so and under to help 'ol St. Nick out? This is our first time to WDW since '95 and our first trip at Christmas. So I don't have a clue what's out there. Can you help me out?

There is a great store at DTD where everything is $10 and under it is right beside the Winnie the Pooh store. They have all kinds of little nick nacks that are great for stocking stuffers. Also take a stroll into Goofy's Candy Co. there are some great things that will last until Christmas that would be perfect.

Thanks for the heads up! I have read up on DTD's Goofy's Candy Co. and have planned on stopping there for sure. From pictures on this board, some of the items look amazing! Has anyone been to this store at DTD where things are $10 or less? What sorts of items do they carry that would make great stocking stuff?

The $10 or less store changes frequently. It has a lot of key chains, small plushes, various seasonal items, toys, etc. They really have a large variety of things, so you may be able to get quite a few items from in there.

Have the kids been before? Another option that would be neat would be to get each of them park maps signed by their favorite character(s). That would take up some room in the stocking and be a very unique, albeit free, gift from you guys.

All-Star Movies. We stayed at Dixie Landings on our Honeymoon, and DH was rooting for Animal Kingdom Lodge this trip. But alas, we let the kids decide!

Nope. This is my kids first trip ever! Yippee! Love your idea about having characters secretly sign a park map too! Thanks

some ideas for you.... getting an ornament from the christmas shoppe in DTD... if the kids are getting a picture w/ santa you can have it framed (pocket size w/ a note from santa on back), Mickey Head Rice Krispy treats, Disney Dollars to spend at the local Disney Store, Some kind of disney dish or cup, socks, gloves (depending if where you live is cold) and maybe a time frame for the next time they will be going to WDW!!!

We live in Ontario, Canada so yup...we get the cold.

These are such specific ideas! That is just what I was hoping for-thanks!
