Well we did it. We spilled the beans.
This trip was set to be a surprise, but my kids were asking..sometimes begging for us to book a trip EVERY day. We were all set to go in August and cancelled to bring our new puppy home. So I got the great idea to surprise them with this trip. It was becoming more and more apparent that while a surprise would have been exciting, the kids were missing out by not being able to be excited and anticipate the trip. Last week my 16 year old sent me a text with a list of 30 things she would give up for Disney (one of which was her brother
).
Today, my 9 year old was actually in tears saying "I don't even care if it's a year away, or two years away!! I just want to know we can go again one day."
So it was time. We sat them down and said "December 13th.. what is that day?"
Dd said "2 months after Thanksgiving". Ds said "12 days before Christmas".
We then said "Nope.. it's the day you leave for your trip to Disney World."
They FLIPPED OUT. Dancing, cheering, hugs and teary eyes!!!
We then discussed all the details and looked at all of the Wilderness Lodge pictures in the photo thread. They are SO excited.
They are both glad we told them. So it's official..I can't keep a secret to save my life, but I have 2 ecstatic children!!! 75 days to go!!!!
