Disneyland - Care Package

I am so excited to finally have another care package post. I have been totally slacking in the care package department. When Joe first deployed, I was sending a care package once every two weeks. But, after the move and starting a new job, I think it has been almost a month. Hopefully, I will be able to get back to at least once every three weeks. I made sure to make this care package a good one. I have a bunch of really awesome things in my mind of what a great care package should be, but most of my ideas really take some time and planning. I knew from the moment that I got my Joe Doll, that I needed to take him to Disneyland! It is my favorite place in California and it gave me an excuse to take a picture with all of the characters (not that I needed one).
The finished box!
My main idea for this box as to go to the park and get as many signatures in an autograph book and get a picture with me, Joe Doll, and the character. It was so much fun and everyone was so thankful for what Joe is doing. My sister and I were able to get the book filled up by noon! Later this week I will share with you another secret of Disneyland and how I got to meet all of the characters. But for now, here are a few of my favorite pictures.

Back to the box,  I went to Michaels and found some really cute paper and stickers. I decided that I would put Disney quotes on the main flaps of the box and I even put some on the outside of the box (there were way to many good ones that I couldn't leave out). 


Inside of this box I put the following items:
  • An autograph book with signatures and pictures
  • Chocolate and caramel popcorn from the park
  • Mickey Mouse rice crispy treat
  • Chip and Dale Pretzels
  • Mickey Mouse head shaped "gold fishes" (Joe loves Gold Fish)
  • Candy from the Candy Shop at Disneyland (Joe's favorite, Candy Corn) 
  • Cookies, Crackers, and all kinds of snacks
  • More water enhancers, Mio
  • More wipes 
The autograph book couldn't have came out any better. I loved that the characters where all very excited about the Joe Doll and some even left personalized "thank you" notes to him. 


This is one of my favorite boxes that I have done. Disneyland is my favorite place to go and I am so happy I was able to share that with Joe. We will be going to Disney World early January and I am planning on getting an autograph book there and getting pictures with all of the characters with me and the real Joe!

  1. This is adorable. My husband is on shore duty right now so he doesn't go back to sea for another 2 years, but next time we'll have kids, so I think this is a fantastic idea that I'll have to file away in my head for the future. So cute.
