Hello!! I must not live that far from you.. you are only in Kent -i live Greenwich.. do you know it??
yeah i heard it wasnt happening any more because i wanted to do it too!
Instead... i am going to get a surprise made for him at
www.giftsofalifetime.com
(i sound like im bloody advertising them as im always raving about them, but honestly, they really are amazing!!! )
After i filled out a form so they can think of what to do and tailor make a surprise / gift, they send you a suggestion of what they can do for you. here is what they sent me:
The Amazing Disney Lovers Race,
Our race takes place in EPCOT and involves lots of places in the park. Wayne will be met in the park and informed that a special present is waiting at the end of the race-if he earns it. To find it, he will have to go to places we send him and find hidden clues and in some cases perform certain feats in order to EARN the clue. (For instance, he will have to drink the Italian Cola drink found in the Cocoa-Cola Cool exhibit). He, with you, will be criss-crossing the different countries to locate his clues and he will be on a time limit. If he finishes on time he will earn the prize gift, if not, his gift will be given to a random person in the park.
- so of course he will win. One of the things we will work into the event is a trivia test on Wizard of Oz trivia. This is a fun event and works in rain or shine. The final gift is up to you and is not included in the cost of the event. You can choose anything within your budget and either send it to us in advance or have us pick it up for you. The cost of this event would be $345.00.
Jealous Princess:
For this event you bring Wayne to the starting location and there he will find a warning letter addressed to him, signed from some Disney princesses. Snow White, jealous over Wayne's love of Stacey, has arranged with a Disne villain to put a spell on Wayne so he will fall in love with Snow White and her only unless . . . Unless Wayne can complete three tasks that are necessary to break the spell. The tasks will be found in hidden locations and will be in rhyme. The breaking of the spell will take place with a special kiss between the two of you and during that kiss, to show that the spell has been broken; we will douse you both with pixie dust. This event would be $295.00.
I know they can be pricey, but they do all sorts of package gifts that can include interacting with characters in the park. its worth taking a look at, even if you fill in the form on their website and just see what they come up with?
I hope this could help you get a surprise for your DF... i am certainly going to go with a gift from giftsofalifetime.com - because same as you, i wanted to get the diver!
