Suggestions for Small/Inexpensive Park Gifts

[BK2014]

DW and I are going to be at WDW in early December. We were talking about getting Christmas gifts for our nieces and nephews (8 total, ranging in age from 3-13), but decided that might be too costly and take up too much luggage space.

So now I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions of small/inexpensive token gifts that we might be able to get at the park to take back home as gifts. If you have a suggestion please let us know the cost and where to buy it, if you know. Thanks!

I'm not sure if this would fit your definition of small, but in Disney Springs at Once Upon a Toy, there is a selection of Mr. Potato Head accessories, most of which are Disney World themed. They are adorable! You can get as many accessories as can fit in a small box (like a Chinese food container) for about $20. Would be great for the small children. If they already have a Mr. Potato Head, they can add this to the accessories. If not, you can get Mr. Potato Head figures inexpensively at home to add to their Christmas stockings.

Not sure what budget your thinking but what about if you gave them each a small gift card and them make it stretch or not stretch how they would like it. i'm sure they would love extra spending money.

Might sound REALLY cheap, for for the littlest ones, there is always Disney stuff at Dollar Tree. Buy a few things before you go. The 3 year old will neither know the difference nor care. Will just be happy to be getting something like the big kids!

Something little and sure to fit - any of the Disney Candy. There are lots of options, and it's usually fairly inexpensive when compared to t shirts and such. Found on Main St. or Disney Springs (probably other places too...)

We've started getting our kids the little Mickey figurine that has the year on it. They were around $5-$6 when we went last time -- the arms and legs can move, the head can turn and I'd say they are maybe about 6-8 inches high. Found pretty much everywhere, but we bought ours near Philharmagic. I think there is also a Minnie figure so you could do that for the gals if you like.

Another thought would be a Pen or pencil, or a magnet with their favorite character. Those are also small and relatively cheap.

Or - you could get a postcard and have it signed by a favorite character -- one for each kid. If you want them all to be from Mickey, there might be worth a stop in to Guest Services and asking if they can help, rather than taking up a huge amount of time in line... If you're staying on site, the front desk at the hotel might be able to help with that also - worth asking.

I would also start looking on the Disney Shop Parks app for ideas. You can even shop from that app.

When we brought back gifts for DS's class we usually did Disney pencils. When we bought small gifts for young relatives we did figurines, keychains, stickers and name pins. I also bought small lego figures and lego keychains for the adults at work.

Not sure it works for you but we take our own toiletries and then bring home the Disney ones, even the soap. At Christmas each niece (5 of them) got a full set of Disney toiletries, did this for years. Cost = Zero.

Bags of Mickey shaped gummies
Mickey shaped lollipops (I personally think these taste like cough syrup)
Pack of Disney pens (you could break those apart and give 1 each to the older ones)
I think you can buy mickey shaped straws at some of rest. for around $1 each

Pressed pennies from each of the parks? A pressed penny costs only $0.51.

You can even glue a magnet on the back so they can put it on their fridge!

t-shirts if you can find on clearance. Candy. If they will all be there together, you can consider doing a box of various treats from around Epcot so they can try treats from around the world

A couple years ago, my DD13 really got hooked on Disney pins. She loves looking through every pin station we come across, at every pin, and finding the perfect pins for her collection. Maybe get each kid a pin specially picked out for them!

Mickey straws - they are $0.69 and sold at many CS

Thanks everyone for the great ideas!

Mickey Lollipops are sold in bunches of 5 or so, they can be easily separated to give to your family.

If you have a car, hit any of the cheap souvenir stores. There's a couple on 192 (if you go out the back way from AKL down Sherbeth Rd to 192. They have loads of cheap Tee-s, mugs, etc etc.

Mickey Drink straws! I'm not sure if all the quick service places have them or if it's only some of them, you can ask at the register at the Quick service place. They are colorful straws with loops in them in the shape of Mickey ears. I think they were 69 or 79 cents each, and they come in about three different colors.

Not sure of your budget, but we like to bring back those little washcloths that expand when you put them in water. We usually pick up a couple to put in our kids' Christmas stockings. I believe they run about $5 each and they last a long time. We still have our Christmas themed ones from 2011! If you have a bigger budget you could also pick out a trading pin to go with each washcloth.

I brought huge lollipops back to my students one year and they loved them. Some I used snack credits on and others I paid OOP.
