I thank Disney for offering their wonderful celebration options. While I consider myself to be creative and resourceful, sometimes it takes seeing things as done by another to come up with even better ideas on my own.
Disney's offerings include some cheap in-room items such as a banner, hats, plastic toys and cheaply made carry pouches, topped off with a video or two, and a 'medal'. Most of these items will go home only to gather dust until they day they are tossed out.
It takes a bit of prep time at home, but for less, I can put together a Star Wars themed kit in a reusable, quality backpack my child will use throughout the school year (adhere a rebellion logo?), A lego fighter, some well thought out 'missions' popped onto a thumb drive which will play like the intro to any of the SW movies, and finish it up with an ice cream party, light sabre and whatever else.
The best part, other than saving money, is the knowledge that I've tailored the experience to my child and most of the items will be kept and used by my child throughout the years that follow.
