what "cheap" stuff at the dollar store did you buy

Toiletries
Ponchos
Snacks
OTC meds like aspirin, tylenol, etc...

You can't beat the dollar stores for stocking up on trip provisions.
 
The over the door shoe holder or the one on a hanger work great. Especially if your in the value resorts. Not a lot of counter space or storage. Just hang it right there in the closet. We loved it.

That's a great idea. I think I'll swing by and pick up two of those.
 

I'm in the process of stocking up on stuff from the Dollar Tree. So far I have glow sticks, ponchos, and water bottle carriers (I really want to keep my hands free). I didn't see any shoe organizers or pop up hampers (only laundry bags). There's a second dollar store in town that I haven't hit up yet; I'll try that one.

Hey....another great idea.....Glow Stick!
If these tips keep up, I'll be spending lots of dollars at the dollar store!:rotfl:
 
Great ideas you guys!!! :cool1: I have also found the small boxes of white or choc. milk(about the size of a regular juice box) for a dollar a piece at our local Dollar Tree. This would come in handy if you were going to eat cereal in your room before hitting the parks. Walmart also carries it is a large box of groups of 3. Last summer that had great hats that my DD9 and her friends loved! You can buy bandanas there too! Lots of Disney stickers, pens, coloring books, crayons, etc. I just bought two to a pack Mickey Mouse card games-Go Fish, and Swap. If you take your time and look around it's amazing what you can find.
Also, check your local Walmart right now-I just happend to glance up in the check-out line and found large ponchos-yellow-two to a pack on clearance for $1.00! Bought 2 packs and now my family or 4 are set!!!!:banana:

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE AND GOOD LUCK HUNTING FOR THOSE BARGAINS WE JUST CAN'T DO WITHOUT!!!:thumbsup2
 
I got some Disney "light up" pens. Mickey, Minnie, Princesses and others. The character lights up from the pressure of the pen on the paper. I gave them to the kids in WDW and they thought I got them there.
 
I got a thing similar to the over the door shoe holder, except that it goes in the shower instead of over the door. Also, it is made of nylon mesh and has the same kind of pockets. It can hook onto the rings of the shower curtain (my preference) or hang over the shower head. It holds all our shampoo, conditioner, etc.

I need to look for an over the door shoe holder also. We will be staying at POP next time, and there isn't much room in the vanity area.
 
Tinkerbell also leaves surprises for our DD5 when we go. The only difference with us is that she tends to sleep later than us, we're up at the crack of dawn watching the bunnies scurry across the lawn:goodvibes So what we do is we crack the door, drink our coffee outside and leave a disney bag on the door handle every morning. She gets so excited when she sees the bag because she never knows what will be inside. My mother likes to keep her eyes open for good things. Last year her ultimate present was a stuffed Duchess, this year, it's a Giselle barbie.

We also find lots of good stuff at the dollar stores here although I haven't been able to find pop-up hampers, those would come in VERY handy!! I just went the other day and got glow necklaces, an Ariel night-light, spinning tops and especially disney chalk! She had so much fun with the chalk last year!! Colored everything in sight and sometimes disney cast members would stop and ask if they could color too!
 
I also purchased a lot that was mentioned, but I also was able to find light-up/flashing glasses for the kids to wear at night. They loved them, and I loved the price!
 
Dear disfan from UK, You will find a dollar tree on 192 E at around mile marker 11. There is a Nike outlet there. There are many different dollar stores in the area, but I like Dollar tree the best especially for Disney goodies. Grammy
 
Disney spray on Sunscreen!! They had Nemo and POTC!! i stocked upon like 6 of them! Those things are normally $8 a piece!
 
Just went yesterday...pretty sure I'll be back before our trip!
-Mickey and Cars stickers to decorate Mousekeeping envelopes
-Pooh and Princess folders to keep our "stuff" organized
-Mesh laundry bag
-Aloe
-Antibacterial hand gel
-garage sale stickers for our "Mickey Fund" yard sale this weekend!!!!
 
just got back from the $ store and boy did I hit the Jackpot for my Niece! :cool1:

Lighting McQueen lanyard
Mickey and gang tin box for pressed pennies for when we get back
Mickey and friends stickers
Cars pencil pouch for her plane ride acitivty notebook
352 page Mickey and friends coloring book
 
Wow - I can't believe you found a Disney lanyard at a Dollar Store! I love the hamper idea - will be using it!
 
I have been to a couple of different ones. I have found:

Disney jibbits for my kids' Crocs
Pop up hampers--each one of us has a different color
Glowsticks
Ponchos
Tinkerbelle nightlight
Key ring flashlights

A lanyard would be awesome!

Still looking for more....
 
i found a ton of glow necklaces, bracelets and glowsticks. I bought extra to make a little of our own "disney magic" during the parades. Although we didn't buy them, there were lots of Mickey books, coloring books, little disney princess figures, wands and crowns and lots of other goodies for the younger disney-goers. I will be checking back once a week to see if we can be lucky enough to find lanyards!
 
What area of the store were the lanyards in? I bet I could make one for our DS if I can't find one.

Has anyone else seen the Disney sunscreen at $ Tree?

I also saw foam puzzles and lots of pirate/princess candy when I went.
