Surprise Trip Revealed!

[Magical JenK]

What a great way to surprise him. Love the clues. It is so funny that he asked so who is Cindy? My dd talks about Cindy all the time and dh still asks who is Cindy. She told him the other day that Cindy is Cinderella - why can't you remember that she is a real princess.

Well I originally had it signed Cinderella, but I didn't want it to be toooo obvious. So I figured, if I signed it Cindy, he would open the letter & look immediately to see who it was from & see Cindy & be confused & then figure it out from reading the invite...but no...he was just plain ol' confused!!

When I asked him what he thought the "invite" was, he thought it was something like Disney on Ice!

Yeah, I'm very, very excited! Now everything I earn goes towards FUN money down there!! Only 77 days left! Now...if I could only be content w/my ADRs!! Doesn't it always seem like you want to plan, plan, plan even when everything is set? You just don't feel "normal" unless you're planning??

Oh how exciting. What a great surprise.

This is so incredibly cool!! I can just imagine how excited you both are to be going. I wish I could do something like that for DH some day. I bet he thinks you are the coolest wife in the whole world.

I didn't think I could pull it off (financially & otherwise), so I'm very, very glad that it all worked out how I had hoped!! And while I did read to him what you wrote, he said, well I don't know about cool...but you're pretty darn amazing!! :0)

Your so lucky, well the both of you are!! Him for having such an awesome wife, and you for having a hubby who likes Disney !!!lol Thats way cool for you guys! Congrats!

You know what's sooooo funny? Is that HE'S the one who started me on my Disney obsession! He thought we should go in 2004--our first trip since our honeymoon in 2000--and HE wanted to stay onsite, I didn't even know about onsite or offsite or anything. Well, let's just say he created a Disneymonster in me! And he'll be the FIRST to say that he's the reason I'm the way I am w/Disney!! he he he he

Thank you all for your responses & reading the "book"!! I just HAD to share!

Isn't it great when the guy is the one who creates the monster. I swear my bf is the same way as your dh. He wouldn't allow himself to get too excited about disney until a few weeks before we left then afterwards he was like we can't do this every year but maybe every 3 years. then we started pricing "other" vacations and he realized what a "bargain" disney was and we are now on the once every 2 years schedule and he can't wait to go back either. He is warning me though that I can't compare our trip next year to the trip last year because it might not be a good/exciting. Who is he kidding??

BTW. I should ask. How long are you going for and where are your ADRs at? are you doing MNSSHP?

You're sooooo talking about DH!! From the not allowing himself to get excited to saying we'll come back again someday....to next year!! Last year, DH was sick w/some stomach bug for almost our entire trip, so he's hoping this year WILL be better than last!! But the year before we were Grand Marshalls at MK so we really didn't know if 2006 could live up to 2005, but we still did have a great time...well, I did anyway!!

BTW. I should ask. How long are you going for and where are your ADRs at? are you doing MNSSHP?

We are going for 11 nights...but shhh.. that, too is a surprise. He thinks were' going for 10 nights (like the last 2 years), but when I found out about MNSSHP & the fact the day we were leaving is the date of the first night, I couldn't help myself by adding an additional night on & getting tickets!! This will be our first time at MNSSHP, last year we saw them setting up a couple things, but didn't think much of it. A friend of mine went & she totally convinced me. Have you been? How did you like it? Did you dress up?

So if I can pull it off, I don't think I'll tell him about leaving Saturday instead of Friday until our anniversary (Sun the 9th) & then tell him we're staying one more day & give him the tickets for the party (Fri 14th)...again, if I can pull it off. I'm not worried about time off from work or anything, but I'm just wondering if at the airport or when we check in at CSR he'll catch on that Saturday is the 15th...he he he

As for ADRs, I've got:
Liberty Tree Tavern, Le Cellier, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Turf Club (never been), California Grill (Anniversary night), Momma Melrose, CRT, Kona Cafe, Concourse Steakhouse, Coral Reef (never been), Tony's Town Square, Crystal Palace. Thinking of doing O'hana or Boma, but not sure which to take away just yet....any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks for asking...as you can tell, I could go on & on & on & on about Disney, this trip or weddings....

So, are you going to surprise him with a costume to wear for MNSSHP? I love this surprise. I surprised my DH with a trip to Ireland for his 40th birthday in 2003. It was fantastic. Now, he better remember my 40th in a big way or he is in big trouble. I've got 15 months, so I'll start hinting now.

I love to hear about surprises!!! How excitiing!!!! We surprised our kids 2 years ago and that was fun. We waited until the morning that we left and told them. Their faces were priceless....

Now...if only to get my DH to plan a surprise WDW trip for me......

We went to MNSSHP last year (see siggy pic ) We had a lot of fun. We semi dressed up and glad we only wore what we did because anything else would have been too hot or painful on my feet. The characters all get dressed up and then they'll bring out some you don't see very often so skip the candy lines and go for the characters. Also the carriage is somewhere by frontierland and adventureland. I'd go there kind of early as the line easily builds up. We absolutely loved the party and we will be going back next year.

The only ADR of your's I've gone to is LTT and we really liked it. BF still talks about the "thanksgiving meal" restaurant there as his favorite. My favs were chef mickey's (love those mickey waffles) and then Biergarten - Yumm-o! I was instructed for next year - character meals only (except Beirgarten) haha. We got a kick out of them.

I'm not a big Halloween fan, so no, we won't be dressing up. But I will be having some t-shirts made & give him that & the tickets. If he wants to wear the t-shirt fine, if not, no biggie.

Yes! You better start hinting to your DH for sure!

Ohhh I didn't know that your pic was from MNSSHP! Awesome! Yes, I've heard that some costumes make it hard to get around. We're eating at Tony's that night at 430, so we'll be hitting the party right after & I plan on staying until the end!!

I'm very excited about the characters in costumes! I know DH would be too! I think I showed him a photo of Piglet as a flower & he said that was cute! So I think our PhotoPass card will be FULL!! We also love character meals (& photo ops for that matter)! LTT is our "traditional" first night & Crystal Palace is our traditional last morning! Love them both!

I'm kinda afraid of Biergarten & I can't really explain why because I do like German food....but I guess it's the cold buffet that scares me??

Did you get to see the parade & Hallowishes? I'm excited for those as well! Well, heck, I'm excited about the whole night! What's funny, is that I bet if I were to ask DH if he wanted to go, he'd say nah, that's ok. But I KNOW when we're there he's going to LOVE it!! He's such a little kid when he's there...well, we both are!
