What to include in Disney gift package

[klj27]

We are going to WDW with another family who has never been before. They are bringing an eight year old and five year old. I would like to have a package waiting for the two kids when they check in. (They are arriving the day before us.) What things would you recommend putting in the package??

Are the kids boys or girls?

These are always hits:

-Autograph book
-Light up pen or fat pen - walmart, dollar tree, big lots $1 each
-Disney gummies - walmart, nemo, pirates princesses, etc.
-Disney light up fan - $2-3 walmart, big lots, family dollar, princesses, buzz, cars, tink, etc.
-Disney coloring books - Dollar tree
-Disney pens, pencils crayons, etc - walmart, dollar tree
-Disney rain ponchos
-Disney Tshirts
-Disney stickers

Hi! What a great friend! Its all up to how much you want to spend on each...I will either do something as simple as a single peice for each (cause you are going to Disney too!) or if you want to do something filled w/ goodies...
I would put in some Disney Towels (they were just having a huge sale- hope its still going on); Suntan lotion; definatley munchies or Disney Money for them to spend at Goofy's candy shop... You can get some cute shirts made up for both of them; a disposable camera for each (kids love taking thier own pictures); ponchos (in case it rains) and lastly I would add in some park maps and have them circle what they really want to do and see...
I think giving kids the option on doing things really lets them enjoy the trip as much as the adults that are planning it!

I'm having baskets done to be waiting for my kids this trip. They're getting the autograph books, pressed penny books, CM nametags with their names engraved on them, a beach towel, t-shirt, and stuffed animal.

I got the stuffed toys and beach towels when Disney was doing their $5 special last week! YEA!

Who did you order these baskets from?

I went through giftsofalifetime.com
The items I wanted weren't all together, so I just e-mailed and asked for a price on the things I wanted to include. Pat helped me put them together. She will also add anything you mail to her at no additional charge.
You can make it as big or small as you want.
The other thing is that you can just get a few things from her and then add candy type treats once you get there.
I'm checking in while the girls are at Grand Adventures in Cooking, so I'll be able to add the last minute things before they even know there are baskets in the room.

I think that this is a very thoughtful gesture.

I am making a travel car bag for step niece. I bought a canvas craft bag and added trim to the bag. Then I put her name on it in cute glitter letters. I filled the bag with . . .

Autograph Book w/ retractable sharpie
Disney Pez
Light Sticks
Crossword Puzzles
Soduku
Coloring Book and Crayons
Hidden Mickey Guide
The Novel Ella Enchanted

They are driving about 20 hours.

Cool idea, what a great friend! I think I'll make up some for my kids as a surprise

Makes me want to start a gift basket business just for disney!!!

www.memoriesbysarah.com does baskets as well. I had her do one for my family and she was great to work with. She only charges $28 for the 1st basket and $8 for additional ones. She does not mark up the cost of the merchandise either.

She will let you ship any merchandise that you have and include it in the basket for free.
