A growing trend is to gift kids “experiences” instead of “stuff” toys for birthdays and holidays. When you’re planning a trip to Disney, why not get them excited by sharing something that they get to do. We’ve put together a solid list to give you a starting point for experience gift ideas that your kids will love to receive!
Experiences Are Customizable
Did you know that Disney offers experiences that range all budgets, including both time and financial? You’re going to be able to create something that is so much more exciting and memorable than a knick-knack could ever do. In fact, some of the coolest gifts come from the heart and will show how much you know your family!
Experiences are Subjective
Taking into consideration the age and interests of your kids will give you license to create something awesome. Our goal with this list is to start the creative juices flowing in order to really see what kind of fun you can get up to.
