What Are Good Gifts for a Family Preparing for a Disney Vacation?

• One of the most exciting events for families with young children, a trip on a Disney vacation gives a lifetime of memories, especially if its the first time. Disney vacations include Disney Cruise Lines or Disney's amusement parks around the world. A good gift for the travelers must involve enhancing the experience on the vacation.

Disney Movies

• Families preparing to head on a Disney vacation would love gifts of Disney movies on DVD or Blu-Ray disc. Chose lesser-known Disney animated movies or older classics the children might not yet have seen. These movies will help the family get familiar with a number of minor Disney characters they may run into during their visit. The movies are also a good way to keep impatient children at bay in the days leading up to the trip.

Named T-Shirts

• Have custom matching t-shirts for the family. They serve two functions. They all match -- making it easier for parents to keep an eye out for their little ones in the crowed -- and they produce that intangible family pride, adding to the good memories of the trip. Ideas for t-shirt graphics include the family's last name, a popular family saying or another statement of the Disney trip such as "Disney First-Timer!" or "Disney Or Bust!".

Beach Accessories

• Disney-themed beach accessories are a fit for both tourists on a Disney cruise and a family staying at Disney resort. Beach towels are a good way of reserving a beach chair as well as showing off Disney pride and a pair of Disney-themed flip-flops or sunglasses works well in the hot sun. A Disney-themed beach bag or gym bag helps families transport a lot of accessories down to the pool area, into the parks or around the cruise ship.

Car Games

• For families traveling to a Disney vacation by car, playing games often helps the time fly by during the long trip. Disney-themed travel games and activities such as crossword puzzles and word game books make good gifts for families. These game gifts also include Disney decks of cards and hand-held Disney video games.
