Surprise trip to Disney

[spring]

Yay, your kids are going to be so surprised! It will be something they will always remember.

Here are my thoughts: if you drive, the kids will sleep, but the adults will be exhausted, leaving you too tired to fully appreciate the first day. If you fly (my personal preference), they will probably figure it out at some point. Every time I fly to Orlando, I hear passengers asking kids if they are going to see Mickey. You could lie about where you are going, but you could also come up with a different plan to surprise them. One thought is a special Disney-themed package they open when you get to the airport with a note about the destination. It could even be a backpack filled with Disney items upon arrival at the airport that you suddenly produce for them. You could put Disney items in it to keep them busy during the flight.

My DD has been taking her kids on "top secret adventures" since they were little. It could be to a museum, a zoo, a park, etc. All she has to tell the kids is that they are going on a "top secret adventure" and they get extremely excited with anticipation, trying to guess, but rarely right. You could possibly do something like this, tying in the Disney-themed package in some manner.

Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time with your kids!
