We plan to hang them with suction cups on the glass doors at in our hotel room. At some point during our trip "Santa" will come with goodies. So far the stockings have: -a Tink or Belle yo-yo (found at Michael's $1) -a tink or princess pencil case (another Mihael's $1 find) -a Tink notepad (yep, Michael's $1) I plan to hit the Dollar tree to get disney pencils for the stockings...Disney themed of course. I just wish that we had a Disney Store in eastern washington. I also plan to get a few goodies once we arrive at the park. Oh, we also bought a small fiberoptic tree at Walmart for $10 that we'll be bringing along too. I can't wait for the this weekend to roll around.

Originally Posted By funnygarcia I wish I was good at crafts, the mickey ears on the stockings sound really sweet.. I'm so jealous! I find it's harder to pick out things for my boys (10 and 13), no princess and Tink items (as much as I would like them for myself!). As they get older the more creative I need to be-- sigh.. why can't they stay little for a bit longer?

Dd just turned 7 so she was easy to buy for and the week before we left when I put all the stuff out, I realized she had tons more than he did! I went up to the Disney store and got him a bunch of cool shirts on sale and then went and got him some pants he really needed and each night, Tink brought him a whole outfit to wear the next day. He loved it because the shirts were so cool. I also got him books but his favorite thing was candy-lol. I got him a pirate dagger that was filled with candy and he carried that thing into the park 2 days straight! I also got both of them a dvd for the ride home so that worked out well too. RangerPooh, if your DH is anything like mine, you better get yourself something and wrap it up-lol. Almost every store in our town carries something Disney, even Kmart had cute Disney shirts for women that you could wear into the park! You could always pick up some Disney Dollars and make a big show of getting them from Santa and then pick out something you love in the parks. They have so so much cute stuff right now! Our Dollar Tree had the Disney "barbie" type dolls again the other day and they had a lot of Disney stuff like the little plastic figures of Pooh and friends. I love the Dollar Store-lol! I bought a pack of 3 juggling balls there for ds too and he has actually taught himself how to juggle, so funny! I bought a string of lights at Target that were so looong for just $1.00 and strung them around the DLH window using the hooks for ornaments. It looked great and was simple to do because they have the big valance with a "roll-type" seam and the light string was so long it went all the way up both sides framing the window. We left them on the whole time and every night walking back to our room, it was exciting to pick out our lights! Cheap joy-lol! Hope you have a great trip!

I was thinking of buying them at Target,but cringed at the price. Glad I found them at Kohl's with my sis today! They had cute night lights: Princesses standing on a porch, Tink with her wings changing color, Tink, Buzz and Mickey with a lava lamp effect.
