Surprising our Kids: What would you put in the surprise box?

[aristocatz]

We are planning to surprise our kids for their WDW trip!

Our plan is to put some Disney helium balloons in a bog box & have them open the box so the balloons float out.

We were wanting to put a few other things in there, that are WDW or trip related, to get them excited about their trip.

So far, we thought of:
Disney coloring books & crayons for the plane ride
Disney sunglasses
Disney autograph books
Kid binoculars (we are staying at AKV)

Anything else you would recommend?

Thanks!

1. Magic Bands
2. Change for the pressed penny machines
3. Maybe a couple of Disney t-shirts.
4. a puppy.....what? how'd that get in there!?!

......also don't make the same mistake as us. Make sure the ceiling fan is turned off before they open the box.

Glow sticks for late nights at parks
New bathing suits
Disney themed snacks (fruit snacks, graham crackers, etc)
Gift Card preloaded with souvenir money
Clickable fat sharpies for autographs
Pressed penny book/ Mini M&Ms container loaded with alternating 2 quarters and a penny
Disney calendar with your trip date circled
New Disney movie you can watch together
Luggage Tags (if you have a package and have received them, or you can try to find Disney themed ones- there are also little kits where kids can decorate Disney luggage tags)
Disney Guidebook if it's their first trip (Guide to the Magic for Kids is a great one)
Disney photo album
Disney beach ball for the pool
Disney lanyard or starter pin set (depending on age)
Sunscreen
Disney sippy cup or water bottle
Disney Bubbles
Disney magic wash cloths
Mickey/ Minnie ears/ headbands/ hair bows/ hats
Disney PJs

I think those are all of the ideas I can come up with.

Definitely Mickey ears or a Disney hat!

I love the gift card idea ( 1 per child) so they can proudly get their own souvies or silly snacks!
Doesn't hurt learning to budget ...
Have s Magical Visit!

One year we put a Disney countdown chain in a box.

Mickey or Minnie ears are a must!
Our kids love their jammies so we included Disney pj's when we did a surprise.
Some park maps they can study are also nice.
I love the balloon in a box idea, btw!

We did the surprise box last Christmas. I wrapped multiple boxes and in each box there was a Disney-themed presents such as Disney t-shirts, Disney Kinder surprise eggs, Tsum Tsum, stickers, etc. In the last box there was a WDW ticket and a magic band (from a previous trip but they didn't know the difference).
