what is a must for the kids??

[islandmum]

I'm arranging backpacks to be delivered to our rom for th boys with some gifts in for them. I've got stuff I know they want - but what would you recommend for must have's for a 3 year old and 5 year old?

Is there such a thing as a Disney passport? do they like Disney ears? what would you get?

Autograph books were always a big hit with my kids. They also like the refillable mugs from the resorts. We use them at dinner on "special" occations.

What a fun surprise! some things my boys love:

1. Light spinners
2. swim goggles
3. die cast "Cars" cars
4. pressed penny books (they love looking all over the world for the pressed penny machines)
5. definately Autograph Books
There are so many fun, clever hats at WDW you may want to wait and pick them out in person.

How do you do this? I've heard of baskets, but never backpacks.

theres a lady who does gift baskets - click this link - and I wanted something different and tailormade so I emailed her, and sent her a list of everything I wanted (I chose most of it from Disneyshopping.com) including personalised things, Paylpal the money and she goes and buys it all and then gets it sent to your room booking.

We made sure to bring glow necklaces/bracelets etc with us so that we weren't spending a fortune when DD asked for them in the park.

Not sure when you're going, but my kids love sunglasses.I would buy a pair of Disney glasses, and I also bought mini Disney themed notebook, so they could draw, play hangman while in line. I also bought each one a disposable camera. They realllly loved being able to take their own pictures. Granted, they are often of peoples feet, or blurry, but it definately made them happy.

In my daugthers back pack she had autograph books x 2, pressed penny booksx3, Mouse ears, and Pal Mickey.

Cheap disposable cameras. We usually give our girls 2 each. The pictures are not always great, but some turn out pretty good! Once we're back home the 2 youngest and I make picture books, and write a short story about the trip. They love reading their stories to Grammy and Pap. The oldest(11)makes a small scrapbook, which is alot of fun to share with family too. Have a great trip. Janice

Where can you buy pressed penny books? That is a great idea???

If you plan on touring the world showcase in Epcot you can add the passports, they get some stickers to put in it, and they will stamp them at all the countries there.
