What to include in goody baskets for my family?

[ms_missy66]

My whole family (eleven of us in five separate rooms) are going to WDW in three weeks. (!!!) A few of us are driving down and a few are flying. We're among the drivers and I really want to put together some goody baskets for each room. I'm going to include bottles of water, sodas, chips, cookies. We're staying at the Wilderness Lodge, so we'll have refrigerators. But what else can you think of that would be nice to include? Sunscreen maybe? What else can you think of that would be a nice little treat. It doesn't have to be food related. But we're not really into the whole matching shirt thing.

Five of the eleven were there less than a year ago. Three were there 30+ years ago. Three have never been and are ages 17, 20 and 24.

I would love some ideas! Thanks in advance!

I would add a book like The Unofficial Guild or a Passporter.

I love the idea of welcoming everyone w/a basket! Here are some ideas:

* water bottle strap or carabiner water bottle holder

* photo album or frame

* chap stick

* misting fan

* powdered drink mix-ins

* some rice crispy mickey ears would be great too!

I second the book idea. Maybe a guide book for those who have not been at all or recently, and something different for those who have been, like a hidden mickey guide?
Gum is a good one, since they don't sell it there.

Even though they are free, a few extra maps could be good

Stop by your local Dollar store for disney-themed items - stickers, etc.

I like the idea of powdered drink packets and carabiner water bottle holder as
Perditamarie mentioned

There is a Walmart super store on 535 (not far from your hotel)
It has TONS of inexpensive disney stuff.

If there are kids in any rooms you could do crayons & Disney coloring books.. or stickers.

I'm lovin' the Hidden Mickey idea. It's something everyone can enjoy.
Maybe a few Disney Dollars?

How about ponchos? I found some at Wal-Mart for 88 cents. They will come in handy, especially during the summer months.

Glow sticks for the kids. Found cheap at Dollar Tree and Michaels.
