What have you given away?

[Samandmom]

I could not figure out where to post this, so here it goes.

I thought this would be fun. On our last day last week we gave away a few things. We gave away a unopened 12 pk of diet coke, a stryofoam cooler with about 6 waters in it, and our fan/water sprayer from Walmart (made a little girl very happy )

What have you given away?

I have given away left over snack credits (bought a family just checking in mickey bars on the same day we were checking out). We also buy 1-2 pool noodles per trip and then give them away on our last day. Also, we gave a light up necklace to a little boy watching the MNSSHP parade with us as it was our last night.

The only thing I can really think of are fastpasses. Many times we get a fast pass and then change our minds and don't want to hang around that particular park anymore, so I've gone to the entrance to the ride and given folks fastpasses that would be much sooner than the ones they were about to get.

Same - last time I was there (2002), I hd to give away my FastPasses to Test Track. Too tired to stay till the return time. Hope the people we gave them to got to use them!! Therefore looking forward to doing Test Track next year!!!

Oh yes we gave away some fast passes also.

DH had a convention where there were about 8 bottles of wine left over (unopened). They told him to take it... we are not wine drinkers, so we just left it in our resort room when we checked out. I wonder if housekeeping had a party???

Last year, on our way out of the resort on our last day, we gave a Mom with a few kids some bottled water and juice boxes that we had leftover. Proviously, my son gave away his Pluto balloon that he got at MNSSHP.

On our last trip my kids and I gave away over 700 lightsticks to kids near us during night time events (Spectro, Fantasmic, Wishes, Illuminations, resort pool, etc).
Kids love them and the parents are always shocked when they're offered for free. Sometimes it's hard to convince them that you don't want anything in return. You can really strike up some nice conversations with folks over of a simple little gesture like that.
I give 'em out at home as well. Anywere there are kids at night like fireworks or baseball games.

We also give away unused fastpasses.
Sometimes they are hard to get rid of too. People are too suspicious. It took us quite a while to get rid of 5 RnR & 7 TT FP's.
It's sad that people just don't expect strangers to be nice for no particular reason.

My DD gave her balloon away once. We left a ton of snacks in our room our first trip. Learned that lesson.
This Christmas we plan on being in Epcot. We hope to buy some paper flowers in Mexico and hand them out as Christmas presents. Spread some pixie dust.

Definitely fastpasses. If we haven't used them, I always hand them to someone else. It amazes me how some people look at me sideways for offereing, though. It's Disney people - be friendly!

 

[julsmom]

Last trip, we gave away lightsticks. I agree that the families are always so shocked. We live in a small town where everyone smiles/waves as you pass, so it is hard to see people who do not experience that every day.

We left one beer in the fridge at AKL on the day we left.

 

[CoolDisneyCat]

We've given away pins to kids .. that's really fun!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

We gave away all our desserts from the DDP since we found it to be sooo much food.

(love the lightstick idea btw)

Thanks, I drank it by the fireplace in the lobby.

Fastpasses. One time I was at the front Desk at WL because I had lost $40 in Disney Dollars, I knew I had lost them that morning at the bathroom by WWC, so I thought what the heck--& they were turned in And there was a little boy there who had lost his backpack, His mom said when they checked in the lobby was packed & she was sure someone must have grabed it by mistake, but nobody had turned it in & he had a new toy in it he had bought with his own money. So I gave him half of my Disney Dollars, I figured I should spread some pixie dust too. Saw the family at the end of the trip & still no backpack.

Fast Passes have been it for us. Since we drive, we take any left over drinks, snacks etc with us.

I was wondering if a bunch of Southern Baptists had the room next.

We give away the lightsticks every trip. This past trip we had a minnie mouse costume and a tinkerbell costume that my neice wore to the princess breakfast. On the last day of our trip we found two little girls in the parks that were about her size and gave them away. The mothers couldn't believe that we were just giving them away.
