Need Sailaway Party 'gifts' ideas

[cotomom]

Ok guys, I've done a search and I'm at a total and complete loss figuring out what a neat sailaway party gift/favor is. I know about bubbles, but other than that

Please give me suggestions on what you've done or seen before. Things you love, things you hate!

TIA!

Maybe not helpful for the sail away party, but for the pirate night party, we are bringing neon glow necklaces and fiber optic wand thingies for the girls. All I have for the Sail away party right now are the bubbles. I would love some other suggestions as well.

I picked up a pair of the large Mickey Hands to wave back at the terminal on our way out of port. I will suprise my son with them after the lifeboat drill.

I went to a party store and bought "Mickey & Friends" blow out party favors (you know... those things you blow into and it looks like a tongue sticks out?? ). I think they came in packs of 8 and it was fun to hand out to the little kids around us. My two little ones enjoyed them too!

we had tons of stuff with us...the standard bubbles, but also silly string, party poppers (they have a small amount of powder in them, and when you pull a string out pops confetti...no prob getting on ship)...other types of streamers etc. We did the glow necklaces on 80s night, but with a twist...there was a group of 8 of us together, and we brought enough to pass out to the staff and other cruisers. Hope this helps.

We did this, and it was a lot of fun. The folks on the dock were pointing back at us. You can also do this at Castaway Cay.


Also remember the Sail Away party is before dinner. Not sure if glow necklaces will show up in daylight. But they are a definite for Pirate Night.

Where do I find Mickey Hands?

AND, how large are they to pack?

I have got to have the Mickey Hands.

I picked them up on e-bay many months back. They are double the size of a regular hand and very padded. I just hope that my son does not see this thread, or the suprise is over.

You can also call the WDW or DLR merchandise ##, both of which I don't have anymore , for the Mickey Hands. Last month I just called the WL to get the number because DH was still complaining about the mug he really wanted and never got last September! The gift shop at the WL said they cannot ship directly themselves, but the merchandise number will take care of it. I am certain it would be the same for the Mickey Hands!

But the Hands are great! I had mine that I got at DLR for the sailaway! It was fun
