What is the best way to add a little bit of pixie dust to a DLR vacation?

[PacNWTigger]

My cousin is talking about taking his family to DLR for a much needed vacation after a very rough year for them. He would be going with his wife and 3 girls...two of them are in college, and the other is in 6th grade.

I am wanting to add a little bit of anonymous pixie dust to their vacation. I don't know the best way to go around it though, so I am throwing out to the DLR vets to get some ideas. My best idea right now is surprise them by showing up myself, and allowing my cousin and his wife to have a little bit of alone time...and that way I get to enjoy DLR too. The hitch is that is also the most expensive route for me, and I might not be able to get the time off work depending on when they're going.

Any ideas would be super helpful and highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

If they are staying on property you can always buy gifts, gift bags and what not and have them waiting in the room when they arrive. My brother did it for me on my wedding anniversary trip.

That would be a wonderful surprise for them! I'm not quite sure where they are staying, but I'm betting that it will probably be off property to save a bit of money...I could still arrange for something to be in their room regardless of where they stay with a little bit of help from the front desk staff.

A fun little gift can be slipping them some Disney Gift Cards.
You can order online and have them mailed directly to them pre-visit.

Disney Gift Cards can be used at any Disney Resort, the Disney Theme Parks, the Disney Store, and even for shopping online if they end up having money left over on them.
At Disneyland they can be used towards the purchase of Park tickets, paying for meals, and of course for shopping.

The best part however is you can personalize them -
Choose from a plethora of Disney related designs, or upload your own photo to create your own unique image to put on the Gift Card itself for a small additional fee.
Choose a free personalized mailing greeting card to go with it, and say it*s from *Mickey*...or whoever you wish to keep it anonymous.
Gift Cards are also reload-able...so if you make a custom card, they can keep adding money to it if they wish to keep using it after the original dollar amount is used up.

Order directly online and have them mailed directly to them before they leave for their visit.

I recommend at least 3 weeks before they leave to be sure they are mailed to them in time

Awesome idea @Figments Friend!! They all have their favorite characters, and I can keep it anonymous too!
