This back to school season kids can wear their favorite Disney characters to school and beyond! Disney Store has your back to school essentials. I was sent a Jake and the Never Land Pirates backpack, lunch tote and water bottle as well as an Ariel backpack and lunch tote to review. You can always count on Disney Store to offer superb sale prices (backpacks are currently $12!) and adorable designs of your favorite Disney, Pixar and Marvel characters.
My daughter and her friend A are shown here modeling the backpacks and lunch totes for us!
We had a backpack last year that completely overwhelmed my daughter. I feel that these Disney bags are the perfect size for preschool/elementary school kids. Another issue that seemed to plague many families was lost and found. I don’t know about you but my daughter has misplaced a few items. I didn’t get into the habit of labeling her belongings until the end of the school year. The Disney bags have a “belongs to” area on the flap of the bag. Your child can write their name in the bags. Hopefully nothing will go missing.
I also love that the backpacks have a matching lunch bags and water bottle . The water bottle will easy fit in the mesh side pocket for easy access. The bags are colorful, padded for comfort and the quality is terrific. Backpacks are personalizable (extra charge) and there is a loop for the lunch bag to attach to the backpack. Rolling backpacks are also available for a kid which is a relief for their back!
For those of you who are looking for a lunch snack idea, I usually stock up on snacks every couple of weeks to make packing lunch easier. Foodles have come in handy. They are Mickey Mouse shaped trays filled with grapes, cheese, pretzels and more. Sure, I could take the time to slice and prepare these things but realistically I don’t always have the time and my daughter loves the surprise treat! Foodles can be found at Target and other stores!
I think my daughter is ready for school? Me? I’m not so sure!

My daughter would love the Ariel set. She’s her favorite Disney character. My best school packing tip is to pack it the night before.

My son loves Jake. I used to pack my kids lunch but they like eating with their friends, plus their school actually makes really good food (shocking, I know!)
Ariel please! Freeze their juices or yogurt tube to keep the rest of their lunch cold until lunch!

I really like them both. I would like to win the Jake one more. Make lunch the night before.
I would like to win the Jake set. My back to school tip is posting a Morning check list by the television, and let the kids know that they are not allowed to touch the tv until everything on the list has been done.
My son would like Jake. Try to make the lunch before the kids get up.
I would like Jake for my grandson. My tip is to buy a lunch ticket for those days when the kids forget their lunch or you haven’t had time to make one.
I would like to win the Jake set. I put freeze dried green beans in my son’s lunch. They hold up well and are a great crunchy alternative to chips.

I’d love the Jake. Get ready the night before…no morning stresses.
I would want to win the Jake bookbag for my son and a great tip is not to stress yourself out. Get as much done the night before as you can and put the lunchbox in the refrigerator 🙂
I would get Jake. Have your kids help with making their lunch. If they are involved they are more likely to eat it.
Ariel…
I like the Ariel set. Pack the school lunch the night before whenever possible.
Ariel would be our choice. We try to get ready what ever we can for lunches the night before. It is less hectic in the morning for us then.
I think we’d go with either Jake or Ariel – I have a boy and a girl.
Lunch is easy because my son is picky so he only eats one thing.
I would like Ariel for my niece. My tip is to make lunch the night before so it is ready to go.
Thanks for the chance.

I would love Ariel and create variety in school lunches. I like to mix sandwiches and wraps throughout the week.
I would love to win Ariel. My back to school lunch tip is to be creative with leftovers. Last night’s roast chicken and corn would make a great wrap with a little ranch and romaine.
I would like Jake and my tip is to make the lunch the night before except for the sandwich .
We would love to win Jake. My back to school lunch tip is Bento Boxes! My son is a very picky eater but its one way to get him to eat properly.
I want to win Ariel and pack lots of veggies in lunches and crackers
We like Jake !!! I try to include something I know my son would be excited about, like yogurt or fruit snacks 🙂

Jake – Make a smorgasborg lunch. It’s interesting and fun for kids. I put a dip, veggies, pickles, olives, salami, etc.
Ariel I let them choose 2 days a week they can get hot lunch
My son loves Jake so I would choose that one.I freeze yogurt tubes and partially freeze small water bottles so they are still really cold at lunch time.
Ariel – definitely

I always let my children help pack their lunch so that I know that they will eat what is packed in there.
