Now, on to the 2 month Disney Countdown gift. This month is something cheap for the kids to take with them, its Pixie Stix. This cost me a whopping $2 for 2 bags at the Dollar Tree, I then split the 2 bags between the 3 children.
The front of the tag says: "Here's a little pixie dust for your vacation." I got the Tinkerbell graphic from here:

I just saved it to my computer and edited it in Picasa, where I added the words with the Curlz font.
The back of the tag says: "All you need is faith, trust, and a little pixie dust." I got this entire graphic here:

There were several choices on Google images for Tinkerbell graphics and the pixie dust quote but I liked these the best.
Since I reuse the same bags, the Mickey paint chips are free from Home Depot, and I already had the spool of yellow curling ribbon (which I use every month) this months gift cost me: $2! This gave them a gift and some candy either for the plane or for when we are in Florida.
Now that we only have 2 months left I need to get busy booking a rental car and buying groceries from http://www.gardengrocer.com/ . I highly recommend having some groceries delivered from this company to your Disney resort. For a small delivery fee you can have groceries delivered to you. We usually get some Pop Tarts, snack foods, and a case of bottled water.
We only have 1 more monthly gift (Sept 23) left to get then starting October 1, I will be giving gifts every day until we leave on October 23. Since October 23 is a travel day their gift that day is to finally find out what hotel we are staying at. I think I am going to make them wait until we are on the Magical Express :)
I'm doing a 7 day countdown with a small gift each day before we leave, I've seen this idea previously and I love it! Such a cute easy way to get the kids excited. I love that you waited to surprise the kids with what hotel they'd be staying at! We ordered our groceries from Garden Grocer as well. We actually booked a rental car with our flights and it ended up being a TON cheaper!
