The first time we went to DLand, I learned a lesson...
my kids saw the merchandise and wanted it all!
To cure this disease, I started at home. I packed up every Disney toy or dress up
or movie that we own and took it with us. They play with it in the hotel
or take it with them into the park and it reminds them that they
already have so much and they ask for hardly anything.
And I like buying souvenirs that are useful. One of my favorites was
a princess Tiana cookbook for my 7 year old. That way it doesn't just
become clutter when you get it home.
