I am taking my grandson on his first Disney trip in February and wanted to put together a pre-trip goodie bag for him. I wanted to include one of the Epcot Passport Kits and a Pressed Penny collector book but the ones I found on Amazon cost more than twice what they do in the parks (which is saying something).
I can't find them at the disneystore.com - anyone have another idea where I could order them in advance? We do not have a physical Disney Store anywhere near us.
Any other fun things I should include in his pre-trip goodie bag??
You could try contacting Disney merchandising at 877-560-6477. They may be able to help you out. I'm not sure how old your grandson is but there are some items you could pickup at your local dollar store like wearable glow sticks for the parade, an autograph book and a big pen. My local store actually carries some Disney themed items.

If you can't get the actual items, you could get a gift card, and a note saying this is what you'll buy when you get there.
Will still add to the excitement, but might be easier on the wallet.

If neither of those ideas work, a few of our moderators hang out at WDW daily almost, so maybe we could connect you with one of them and they could purchase it and mail it to you....

The glow sticks are one of the items we always bring for our kids. Way cheaper buying in advance and they love them. We get the packs of necklaces and bracelets and normally hand them out to kids around us waiting for parades. The smile on kids faces when our kids hand out extras is priceless. Disney Magic at it's best.
Have a great trip.

I had great success with Disney Merchandising. I would contact them very soon for a trip in February. It took several weeks for me to receive the item I ordered through them.:mickey:

Glow sticks also make the BEST night lights - snap one and shake - then leave in the bathroom at night - its just enough glow to not be obnoxious...
