Adult Fish Extender Gift Ideas
There are so many great Disney gift ideas for kids, but adults can be harder to shop for! Here are a few fun ideas that will work for any age!
- You can't go wrong with this unisex Disney Baseball Cap! I can't get over how cute it is!
- Cute Minnie Mouse Wallet Lanyard would be perfect for holding your key to the world card and a few other necessities!
- Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World Book my husband and son would love this book! They are all about learning Disney secrets and trivia!
- I bought these Minnie Mouse Earrings for myself before our cruise and I love them! They were comfortable, and super affordable! I already want them in one of the other fun colors!
Castaway Cay Inspired Ideas
The Castaway Cay day on Disney Cruise Line is most definitely our favorite stop! Make it extra fun with some of these cute beachy ideas!
- Beach toys for Castaway Cay are always a good idea!
- These no-spill bubbles for toddlers are so much fun! Plus, so nice for mom and dad who don't have to clean up any messes!
- My older kids would love these emoji inflatable beach balls! They would be easy to pack too, then people can inflate on Castaway Cay!
- Not only would goggles be great for that clear blue Castaway Cay water, but they could be helpful on board the ship for chlorine sensitive eyes too.
Cruise Preparedness Gift Ideas
Especially if you have first time cruisers in your group, things like lanyards and sea bands can be life savers, and are also cheap to buy! Three cheers for practical gifts.
- Cruise lanyards are a great idea for new cruisers. Perfect to keep your key to the world card handy without having to carry a bag!
- Sunscreen, Dramamine, or other cruise essentials would be a good idea for the first day of sailing.
- Sprinkles and toppings for the soft serve ice cream are so fun! Nothing better than the ship's unlimited soft serve!
- Re-usable straws to use while on the ship are a great idea because Disney Cruise Line has done away with all paper straws to help the environment!
