Looking for ideas - Taking friends for their first trip!

Hiya! So I've got a trip coming up in June with some college friends, and for most of them it's either their first time, or they went yeeeaars ago, whereas for me this'll be trip 10. I really wanted to do something cute for them, I was thinking maybe ordering some pins so they have a mini starter kit (because I've introduced them to my obsession with them already

) but I was wondering if anyone else has done this kind of thing, or if you have any other ideas, because this one could get a bit difficult or expensive! Thanks!

I've not done this myself, but a lot of people buy "job lots" of pins from ebay. This would mean everyone had a few, and could choose their own lanyards at DLP (they have a few different styles there) and start trading/buying themselves. Something else could be to make/buy autograph books for everyone

Thanks, daddyof2 ! I'm gonna have a look for some bundles, that'd be brilliant

You could print t-shirts for your group with a Disney theme.

I got these for hubby and I last year.

The "job lots" are often fakes.

That's one reason why I've not done it myself but others on here have reported success with this tactic

I've spoken to a friend of mine who recently got a job lot, and when she went to Disney, they were happy that they were all legit pins, so I think I'll use the same store
