Hi, Stacey! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I just love your question! You must be so excited for your first visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! I know we can sprinkle some extra pixie dust on your mom's birthday to get her ready for your amazing vacation.
First up, we're going to visit
ShopDisney.com for one of the most basic essentials of any Walt Disney World trip - mouse ears! They're fun for all ages, and there are
mouse ears in just about every color, style, character, and season you can imagine. My favorite are the
Potion Purple ones, but there are lots of choices so you can find some that fit your mom's style perfectly.
Also at ShopDisney.com, you can
customize shirts for the whole family to wear on your Walt Disney World vacation. Your mom will love these! It's a great souvenir, and just think how amazing you'll all look in your
Disney PhotoPass photos! There are a few different styles to choose from, so pick your favorite and start customizing!
One more thing she'll need is
a fabulous bag for the Theme Parks. You can order one of these super cute bags and put your other goodies inside. In addition to these ideas, you'll find lots of Disney themed items at retailers in your area (one of my favorite Disney shirts came from a non-Disney store!). Pick up a couple of little Disney gifts for your mom and throw them in the bag for an extra dash of fun, then add a birthday card with a Disney design and you've got a magical gift to celebrate your upcoming trip.
Stacey, I hope I've given you a few ideas for your mom's pixie-dusted birthday gift. I know there's a lot that goes into planning your first visit to Walt Disney World, so please come back and see us if you have more questions as your trip gets closer. See ya real soon!
Keep Disney Dreaming,
Kathy K.
