They have a silver charm necklace with either Micky or Tinkerbell on sale for $24.99...the regular price is $99.99!!! I also had a 20% off coupon code, so I just got a $99.99 charm necklace for $19.99. You also get your name engraved on one of the charms. Molly is going to be so excited when she sees it. I plan on giving it to her in the morning before we get on the plane.

I started him out trading with CM's (because they wear company owned lanyards with pins to trade), and he LOVED it. I want to say he was 6 or 7 when he started. Very quickly, he became confident enough to even go up the the 'suits' at the parks and ask to trade. They would stop whatever they were doing and give him their attention. It was a great experience for him. The briefcase and other holders full of pins are tucked away in a drawer now, but he's got a LOT of limited edition pins, CM only pins, and great memories.
Originally Posted By fidoprincess Wow that is a nice deal on the necklace. We go in Nov and also do surprise gifts from Tinkerbell. Our "Dollar Store" had tons of Disney stuff today. They had all 6 of the Pooh figurines and also a bunch of Princess Dolls, the barbie sized dolls. I could not believe they were only $1, too bad my little darling is not into the Princesses. They had Snow White, Ariel, Cinderella, well all of them I think! She does love the Pooh stuff though and even Target had Disney Stuff in their dollar section today. I got her a Pooh journal, notepad and some other stuff, very cute! I highly recommend this "surprise" gifting. Tinkerbell comes at night and leaves them gifts "if" they are good and they are always good at DL! It saves me tons of money and they never ask for anything in the park although I do let them pick one thing to buy at the end of each trip just so I have an excuse to shop-lol. The only drawback was my dd getting up at the crack of dawn to see what Tink left-ugh!

She got an Italian charm bracelet with Disney character charms, a Universal Studios charm on the morning we went there, a Sea World charm for that day, a Tinkerbell necklace, a Mickey and Minnie watch, and a Tinkerbell keychain. She really loved waking up to prizes each morning. I hear ya on the Dollar Store stuff. Our store has had TONS of Disney things lately. I snagged up several Tinkerbell items for my DD. I put those away to stuff in her christmas stocking. I can't wait to get the necklace I ordered, I know she'll love it. Have a GREAT time on your trip. As of this morning, my trip counter says 331 days. Since I started my counter at 568 days, I feel like I've made a lot of progress.

I wish my little princess was into it! Mollysmom, Gotta love those coupon codes! I decided to order myself a costume yesterday to wear to my kids' school party and with the 20% off, I ended up adding a bunch of tink stuff. Got the donald and daisy 16" plush for 7.99(I have one boy and one girl)! Pjs for 3.99! Backpack($6)with matching lunchbox($4) and more! 20% off the sale prices are pretty great plus free shipping. Geez, I even almost bought myself that Tinkerbell outfit with the jacket and pants. Each piece was around $13!! Oh and the bracelets are already gone, just have the "welcome baby" ones left! That was an incredible deal!! I didn't though 'cause Tink doesn't bring mom and dad stuff. For those of you just starting out this tradition, GET YOURSELF something, anything just to set the precedent for the future-lol! Today my count down says 59 DAYS!! I can't wait, can't wait.....
Originally Posted By MOLLYSMOM I'm with ya, fidoprincess...love the coupon codes. It sounds like you really got some great deals, too. My stuff is supposed to be here next monday, and I can't wait to see it. I got my daughter the Tink outfit you spoke of, plus the Tink sneakers. I'm putting that away for Easter....always thinking ahead. I also got us all matching t-shirts for our next trip....now at 327 days. I'm SO jealous that you only have 59 to go. Oh, well, in 300 or so days, you can be jealous of me. I think I might need to shop some more...my DH needs a sweatshirt. Oh, ya, I already got the Tink swimsuit and flip flops for my daughter for our next trip...soooooooooooooo adorable.
