WDW gifts for gild scout troop?

[jmartinez1895]

We will be going to WDW in just a few months. My daughter would like to get some gifts for the girls in her troop while we are there ( we would need to buy for 9 girls ages 6-13). Do any of you have an idea for souvenirs that would be cute, but easy to bring home as we fly and will not break the bank?I thought about getting each girl a set of ears, but when I checked the prices online I changed my mind.

Pins are small and easy to carry.
Crushed pennies are also pretty small.
Gummy Mickeys are an edible item you could get--though they would take up a little more space in your luggage. Mickey Pasta would take up a little more room.
There are tin foiled chocolates with Disney Characters on them..

It's been a couple of years since we were there, but if they are still available - Mickey head shaped crazy straws! I bought them at the food court at Pop Century for 50 cents each (not sure if you can buy them anywhere else). Yes, you read that right, 50 cents each! Add a pressed penny or a small Disney candy and you have a very inexpensive gift for each girl.

Pick up some Mickey head sprinkles and make cupcakes when you get home to take to the next meeting when you give them their gifts. It's a fun way to include the other girls and share in the Disney fun.

check the candy stores. also do you have the dining plan? one thing i know people do is use their extra snack credits to pick up candy/treats to bring back. i think there are multipacks of candies at the store on main st that could be broken up.

a cute way to personalize might be to buy packs of postcards and have a character sign for each girl and then send them back while you are still there (more work as you need an address for each girl but cheap).

Straws and the cupcakes are a great idea!

not sure when you are going but there is a GS event coming up at disney... here is the link: http://www.disneynow.com/profile/web/index.cfm?PKwebID=0x3653882d2

They will most likely have GS/ disney related merchandise at that time and if going later you may get it on sale. Also there are fun patches you can purchase through the GS site about Disney, that way all the girls could get a disney fun patch

Wow, that looks cool!

Does anyone know if they do this every year, or every so often? I have a few girls in my troop that would save for this!!!

Mickey Head Rice Krispie Treats. Believe it or not this is the favorite thing that I've brought back for people.

I believe it is yearly, I remember doing this maybe in was 1983 or 84 and we did get a patch for going to certain attractions such as Hall of Presidents, and the movie about Walt on Main street ect

we are going two weeks before this, I wish I would have seen it before booking, being that I am a leader of a Brownie and Junior troop, I have 20 girls to get for...hope they have some stuff available before hand.

Thanks all, I knew you would have some good ideas. I love the straw idea and I might look into getting some post cards and having them signed, but just take them to the meeting.
We will not be going during the girl scout week, but I so wish we were. I hope that this is an annual thing because now that I know about it I may look into going next year.

Pins would be cute if your troop does SWAPS. They also have bead stations and you could pick up a few beads (usually about $1 ea) and have your daughter make friendship bracelets.

How about purchasing a Disney Dollar for each girl. They cost a dollar each and come in a cute enveloppe.

Have a great trip

We always brought back Mickey shaped pencils they come in lots of colors and everyone can use a pencil.
