Candy and gum are good ideas. If they are like most teenagers, they will probably use an IPod or MP3 player. You could always get them a couple of handheld games. You can get classic games like Yahtzee or Battleship, or many other varieties in the toy section of WalMart for less than $10 each. It's amazing how much time you can kill playing these games.

A couple of cool teen magazines
a note pan and a few cool color pens to doodle
A pillow so they can snooze!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the candy idea!!

ear phone and the ipod are great too.

Both of my kids get a new CD before every trip...they listen to it over and over and then usually switch with each other and listen to the other CD.
Have a great trip!

Next time we go to Disney, I'm planning on getting a few things to keep me (13) occupied. I was thinking about getting a couple of magazines and not reading them until I'm on the plane, the same with a book. Other stuff I might do is get myself (or rather, have my mom get me) a journal-type book and some funky pens, such as gel pens or colored pens; put some new music on my iPod the night before the trip that I can only listen to when I'm on the plane; Buy 1 new game for my gameboy, seeing as the games are so expensive; or get a sudoku book or a puzzle book to keep me occupied. Handheld games are a great idea too. I like the candy/gum thing also.

I normally take my daughter (13) to the bookstore and tell her two thing:

1) Here's $20
2) You're carrying whatever you buy, keep it light.

This way, if she wants a new CD to rip to her MP3 player or a book or two books and a magazine, etc. Of course, some of our trips are extremely long (20+ hrs.).

Nail polish pens or those new press and trim nail enamals from avon. It would have to be a pen or the enamals. FAs get so ticked with open bottles on nail polish. Also hand held games that can be two player is best. My sis and I had a battle ship showdown last time. Try salvation army for them dicounted.
