What gifts would you want before a Disney trip?

[seashell724]

What kind of things would you ask for ahead of time (for gift giving holidays) so that the cost of your trip wouldn't be ask much.
I am thinking things like travel toiletries, autograph book, a stuffy etc.
We are out of country so US gift cards for Disney, restaurants etc. aren't available to us.

What you listed is a good idea. I would also ask for maybe stuff for the flight if you are flying. Neck pillow, small roller bag or backpack, small games/toys to play with on the plane. I've also been stocking up on glow bracelets and necklaces when I see them and disney character t-shirts when I find them on sale. Oh, and I just found these light up Mickey and Minnie cups at the drug store.

Anything to help with the heat... Mistymate personal misters are a personal favorite, but any mister &/or fan will help.

Cooling towels-- google Frogg Toggs cooling towels for an example.

Comfortable walking shoes.

An autograph book with a Sharpie marker are great for the kids.

You didn't say who the travels were but my kids love to pin trader. You can get them some pins and a lanyard. You can sometimes get them inexpensively at the Disney store or on disneystore.com or you can try ebay.

For my girls...princess dresses so they can use them when they want to dress up in the parks!

I'm buying my Mom really good walking tennis shoes and wicking socks as she is joining us and won't buy the quality for herself that I will.

Thanks for the ideas. It would be for my two children PLUS my husband and I. Doesn't hurt to ask for some things for ourselves.

Our family knows we go to Disney every year, so we always get a TON of Disney gift cards at Christmas between DH and I and the kids.

We love wearing Disney "gear" while at the parks so whenever I find something inexpensive while out and about shopping I pick it up. Like bracelets, jewelry, hair clips, socks, etc.

Instead of Easter baskets this year I did suitcases. In the suitcases I put some Disney shirts, some shorts (we just went a couple of weeks ago), earbuds, some gum/candy for plane, Brita water bottles, small personal mister fans, gosh now I can't remember other things.......

Bottles of sunscreen, hats, sunglasses...

Great ideas everyone! I love the suitcase instead of an Easter basket idea.
