I don't know the age of your son...but these are a few ideas! If he's little, throw in a disposable camera so he can take his own pics.

Originally Posted By momof4boys I have seen a lot of Disney stuff ( Cars, Pirate's, MM Clubhouse, Princess, ets) at Dollar General.

They love to get Disney Dollars to spend however they like- the freedom of being able to get a snack without having to ask me is huge to them!

If you are eating any meals in your room, buy Disney themed plates and napkins and cups at party stores and bring them with you or send them to the hotel so that they are there when you arrive.

Each night that we are on our Disney vacation, Tinker Bell magically leaves a small gift for our little one! --But once or twice, "Tinker Bell" has fallen asleep before she puts out the gift, and then she awakens in the middle of the night in a panic and has to tiptoe around and try to remember where the gift is, all the while trying not to awaken anyone else. Of course, it's difficult for "Tink" to fall back asleep, and then she's ever so tired the next day.
