Check out the Card announcing our surprise trip.

[Catrinabeach]

We are surprising our boys 12 & 14 with 5 nights/6 days at Universal before our Christmas Disney trip. They know about Disney. Not Universal. And the last time we went we stayed off site. This time we are staying at RPR !

Awesome! I'm trying to make up something along that line for my son who's 6. One of his Christmas gifts is a trip to Universal. I have bought a kid's carry on wheeled suitcase and have been trying to design a book to put inside of it telling him of the trip. Hope mine turns out as good as yours :goodvibes

[Catrinabeach]

Thanks !

I had a couple friends who do graphics design make it up for me.

I just printed it tonight and it looks soo good. They are going to flip out !

Ok..

You get a vote for Parents of the Year!!

Congrats on your upcoming trip and also for staying at RPR. My DW & I stayed there back in 05 as I was attending a convention there. Fabulous resort with much to do. Great pool area (if it's warm enough).

If you are an Emeril's fan, definately go to Tchoup Chop. You're a boat ride or short walk away from City Walk and the parks so enjoy!!

[AmandaSparks730]

WOW! A great way to surprise your sons. I would FREAK OUT if that was me! Let us know how it goes!

Happy Turkey Day, all! :banana: :banana:

That is awesome - You are going to have a blast - You are going to enjoy it so much more staying on site. We did that and we could not believe how relaxed we were not having to rush anywhere.

This has been the hardest thing ever to keep a secret. I thought for sure we let it out a couple times but they didn't catch our slip up !

Some of the pics I got online and some are ones we have taken while there. We've been 2 times, this is our 3rd trip. We went in Sept without the boys and took pics just for this purpose.

I can email them to you if you would like to use them
