Y'all know our Disney trip is right around the corner and we are flying once again (because we drove to California this Summer and that was pretty intense... too intense to repeat for awhile). Our flights aren't bad; they're each about 1.5 hours. But still. When you have an almost 2 year old and a 3 year old you need to keep in their seat and entertained for 1.5 hours? Things can get ugly.
Josh and I have been collecting this and that when we've been out and about for the last month or so. This last weekend I took my last trip to the dollar store pre WDW to finish off the loot for the bags so I could check that off my list.
Each of my boys has a backpack. J who's 3 has a Mickey Mouse full size bag and E who is almost 2 has a small Buzz Light year bag. They'll each wear them like big boys through the airport. They'll also be unaware of the bags contents until we're on the plane.
In addition to having our iPad stocked with their favorite shows and movies, the bags will contain the following:
Coloring pad (Dollar Tree)
Pack of Minnie Mouse crayons (Dollar Tree)
A Pez dispenser (Toys R Us)
A new Fisher Price "robot" toy (Target)
Stickers (Dollar Tree)
Bubble gum (Dollar Tree)
Play Doh (Target dollar bins)
Not too much, but enough to give them little surprises and treats and keep them occupied when they get bored with the TV. All in all filling these bags cost me about $15 combined, but buying them ANYTHING like that in the airport or at WDW would have been way more money. ;)
Also going along with us? Take N Toss cup, bags of goldfish, Teddy Grahams, and peanut butter crackers (these things will be great to have in parks too.)
What are your must haves when traveling with tots and preschoolers?

This is such a cute idea (especially that it's a surprise). The flights don't seem too long which is definitely a good thing. Good luck!
