Thanks again Mel! The Dumbo one is ADORABLE!
It's been slow at work, so my brain went Disney over the past month or so. I finally finished most of my purchases and will start assembling my "park explorer kits" soon. I got the idea from a few other Disers. Basically, the kids get a kit each day with relevant surprises. Some people do candy and tchotchkes, but since our kids are missing a little school, we tried to stick to (slightly) educational. I want to start a whole thread about what I have done/made, but here's a brief list of the top of my head without the disigners names:
