Okay, I'm a real cheapskate.
I love thrift stores, consignment stores, garage sales, etc.
You can't believe how many used Disney t-shirts, sweatshirts, toys, etc. that are out there and are REALLY CHEAP.
I've spoken with many of my friends and realize that it's probably a female thing....it's our version of hunting. You might have to go through a lot of stuff, but when you find something great....it's such a rush. (Okay...it doesn't take much to please me!LOL)
Anyway, I've bought several good quality sweatshirts for my kids, plus t-shirts and night shirts for $2-3 a piece. These include Mickey, Minnie, Princesses, and MGM Studios. I've also found a basic white Mickey sweatshirt and a great red fleece shirt with Mickey embroidered in upper right corder for me. We'll bring them on our trip and wear something Disney everyday.
It is hard to find good quality used men's clothes though......(that's because they never through anything out, right??!!!!???)....so I haven't gotten anything for my DH. I do have a few more weeks to look though!
I also found used lap desks that I bought and cleaned and we will use for the long drive, along with closet hanger organizers that I will tie around the back of the front seats for my 2 kids to put their "stuff" in such as crayons, books, to keep them handy.
I hope you might find these ideas helpful.
