Check-in Surprises??

I am going to WDW in 15 days!! I am trying to plan a small surprise ($20-$30) for each of our guests. It will be my DMIL (55 Don't tell anybody!! ), DSIL (19) & DMIL's best friend (46). I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? We are all having spa treatments at the Grand Floridian on our second day at WDW. I thought maybe something from there, but cannot find a website. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Check-in Surprises??

Have you investigated Gifts of a Lifetime yet? Several members of this board have used them and been quite pleased.

We have had personal autographed pictures from our favorite characters in the room when we arrived. The concierge arranged it for us and it was free.

Re: Check-in Surprises??

I used Fairy Godmother Gifts for my DH (birthday) and DS (from Mickey). I answered a few questions on each of them
and gave them a price range. I was very pleased with the gifts and the attention to detail.Good luck!

Re: Check-in Surprises??

I called Disney Florist and I ordered a gift basket from them. It was for the kids. We got autograph books, pretzels a cool bag, mouse ears, ballons. It was really cool.

Walt Disneyworld Florist is a great place to get gifts for your family members. I have ordered a basket filled with items for the family and it will be waiting there for us when we check in. They are very helpful there and I am sure you could find something you would like.

Re: Check-in Surprises??

You could aslo make up your own little gift bags and fill it with things from someplace like Body Works. Bath jell, lotion, body spray etc. If you keep the bags small enough you can hide them in your suitcase and give them out when you get to the room. If you have a Disney Store near by you could get eveyone matching PJ's.

You will probably get more bang for your buck if you put something together yourself.

Re: Check-in Surprises??

What about booking your entire group on the new Mickey's Magical Milestones tour? It only costs $25/person and it's phenomenal. We took it recently and it's thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish and there's even some character interaction thrown in to make it more interesting to any children who might be in the party. If you decide to do this, you could make up little invitations from Mickey inviting all your guests personally to take his tour.
