So I went to Target and sure enough they had some really cute Disney Stocking with Mickey Mouse on them for the boys and Tinkerbell on the ones for the girls. I was so excited and they were only $9.99. So then I went on the hunt for some great stuffers for this years stocking. Target has some great Disney stuff for girls for the stocking but nothing for boys but I did come up with a DVD and some other little goodies and so now I will go back to the Disney Store and buy some Disney Dollars and a gift card for the stocking. I just wanted to tell everyone about me find I am very excited about this again.

I've already started looking at items to take for next year to give them. Have a great time shopping for stuff to fill up you DS's stocking!

My big splurge was to get them each a Disney Character shirt from Zazzle for each of our trip. I did themes 'cause I'm kind of a geek that way. People stopped us several times to ask where the kids got the shirts. Especially the days when the kids were wearing their POTC shirts, and the Sleeping Beauty day when the girls had on Aurora shirts, but not princess ones. If that makes any sense, it was Aurora but dressed in her peasant garb.

I think each keychain was $3.99. I also got the boys some Disney figures....my 2 boys got Peter Pan and Mr. Smee (those came from ToysRUs) and my nephew got Woody (that came from Kmart). Another day they got a plain notepad (couldn't find any Disney themed) and some Disney pens from the 99 cents store. Another day they got Disney sticker books. One was Finding Nemo and the other was Woody, teaching about time & money. Those both came from the Dollar Store. Just some boy ideas for you. I agree though, sometimes girls are easier to buy for since there is sooo much princess stuff these days!

I also found glow in the dark POTC T-shirts at Target which were great for dark rides. We got lots of compliments on those shirts. I told the boys Tinkerbell and the Tooth Fairy are cousins(another LPer's idea-Thanks). They are still telling anyone who will listen that tid bit of information. Happy shopping!!

Oh and they are releasing a new Disney Christmas movie on Tuesday so I will be sure to add that to his stocking for DL. Thank for all the great suggestions I love shopping for goodies like that. LOL

He calls Pluto all kinds of names and frequently uses "idiot" "stupid" "bonehead". My kids are 3 and 5 so I try not to let them watch shows that use words like that. (Even though most Disney movies DO use those words). Anyway, I just liked the idea of borrowing DVD's from the library before purchasing them. Sorry, I go off on tangents when I have too much coffee.

I cant wait I hear you Mickeynewe. LOL I am so very excited about such little things. Hee Hee BIG BIG GRIN )

I bought some other Christmas movie for the kids along with Cars and will take it back and exchange it for the Disney one!!

I will have to get the Mrs. Field's Cars cookies for my boys for Xmas stocking stuffers. Anybody know of any new coupon codes at disneyshopping.com?...I know you've been there shopping! ; ) I tried Merry25 and Familyfun20 but those didn't work, I did have $100 worth of merch in my cart too.
