Resort check-in gift for 5 year old

[Terry's Angels]

Hi all,


I was wondering if anyone has used Disney Florist or memoriesbysarah or any other delivery service that would do a basket. Any ideas for what would be really nice or had a "wow" factor. We're flying so I really won't be able to do a basket myself. Any ideas or experiences would be great. Or if there is a thread that people have talked about it before that would be great.

I have heard good things about memoriesbysarah on these boards, but it is so much fun to do the basket yourself!! Since you are flying, you could ship it down to your son at the resort and make it look like Mickey mailed it or you can smuggle in your luggage....I did this successfully w/gifts in large cellophane bags. I locked the luggage w/zip ties.

Here are some ideas, and I bet you could get some great gear at the Disney Store at great prices (stuff you would probably buy anyway for your trip):

* a Disney swim gear bag or back pack full of swim trunks, goggles, sunglasses, flip flops, light spinner toy, t-shirts, stuffed animal, character watch, Cars diecast cars, hat, Disney DVD etc.

* wow factor ideas: Disney mix clip, fully loaded w/Disney songs, that cute Disney digital camera (Cars or Pirates OTC, Target $19.99), cleverly created invitation to character meal or pirate cruise (or P&P party, MNSSHP or MVMCP, depending when you are going and what you are doing)

There are a ton of gift basket threads, but I find it really gets you in the Disney spirit to shop for and create the basket yourself.

Thanks for the ideas -- especially the disposable camera ideas

I e-mailed memoriesbysarah a few weeks back and got no response. For anyone who has dealt with this company, is this normal? Does it take a while for them to get back with you, or should I look elsewhere? Any other suggestions for this type of gift service?

Maybe there was a problem and the email didn't go through. She is very fast so if she got your email I am sure she would of responded. I would suggest that you check the email address and try emailing again. I heard back from her the next day. GOOD LUCK !! Don't get discouraged she does great work.
