Make it EXTRA SPECIAL for 3yo

We are getting SOOOOO close to our trip. My friend and I (who will both be at WDW over the same week) are meeting next week to come up with some ideas on how to make it EXTRA SPECIAL for our 3 year olds. We are thinking about going to some local stores and buying lots of Disney related things (dolls, stickers, coloring books, etc...) and make goodie packs for the girls (and probably reserve some things for the trip).

Does anyone have specific ideas (perhaps tried and true) that we can do for them during our trip?

One idea I had was to keep a bag of labled items in the closet (Sun, Mon, Tues, etc...) with goodies for the girls that maybe the Mousekeeper could have layed out on the beds each night? Has anyone done this? I would of course, leave a note and extra $$$.

I am looking for any ideas.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR HELPING ME PREPARE FOR THE BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE!

Re: Make it EXTRA SPECIAL for 3yo

Sounds like a great idea. How wonderful that you're taking the extra time to make preparations like this beforehand! What about something related to each days event/park? Like a Christmas Mickey item for the day you go to MVMCP?

First of all I have to tell you that I think the Monday, Tuesday....idea is really cute. You don't need to engage the mousekeeper for that and hope she/he does it right. You can, just as you exit the room each morning, conveniently run back inside to get something or to pee and put out the goody bag.

I think it would be so much more fun to have surprises each day leading up to the trip While you're at WDW, you will all be so busy with exciting things, I cannot imagine that you'd make a big impression with your surprises.
What do you think?

See Dopey....THIS is EXACTLY why I need you guys! You are right...I forget that we are going to be completely SUBMERGED in magic and that those things might not even be a big deal after such a fun day.

Perhaps I'll do a little "intro" into what our day will consist of while we are there (like have a map of the park we will be visiting the following day on the beds along with some coordinating stickers or something) and focus more on our week leading UP to WDW.

Thanks Dopey!

Go and look for Emmerson613 (not sure about the number after the name) and find her Trip report from this spring or summer. she had the most amazing things for the kids. Maps and letters from the characters....well, see for yourself, it was darling.

Yes, Avery loves it. The last ten days on the chain I wrote special messages about a certain book we need to read to or a certain movie to prepare (and get us EXCITED) about the trip.
