Giving the gift of Disney Parks or Disney Cruise Line is giving the gift of memories which is SO much more than a present! But how to make an impact with your gift can be a challenge since there’s nothing to “wrap”. Here are a few simple ideas to help you put the magic under your tree this Christmas morning.

6 Quick Tricks to Unwrap the Magic
- Wrap a giant box of balloons and attach a tag that says “We’re off to Disney on ___ date”. Be sure to leave the top of the box open when you cover with wrap so that the balloons pop out upon opening!
- Make a scavenger hunt with clues sending kids from room to room and ultimately to open the final clue telling them they’re going to the most Magical place on Earth!
- Have a Disney themed breakfast on Christmas morning complete with Mickey pancakes or waffles.
- Photo opp: Ask someone to take your picture or do a family selfie under the Christmas tree and announce…”Smile and say we’re going to Disney!” You might want to set your phone to record or burst photos to capture the expressions
- Wrap mirrors from the dollar store with added on black circle ears at the top and write “look who’s going to Disney!”
- Let your elf get the credit by making and wearing mini ear hats with a chalkboard note announcement .
