I'm tinkering (pun intended) with the idea of not telling DS5 and DS3 about our trip until the day we leave. At the ages they are they have no concept of how long it is until September. I know that the anticipation is part of the fun, but in the past they've almost been "de-sensitized" to the trip by the time it comes. They ask us nearly every day "when can we go to Disney World?" and we always answer...sometime soon. DS5 remembers, but DS3 just asks because his big brother does. This year we're considering waking the kids up with bags packed and just head to the airport.
I can't imagine how much fun that would be for two little Disney fans, thinking it's a normal day, then jumping on their first airplane ever, ending up in Orlando and then taking DME to POLY with a MK view room. Now THAT is MAGIC!!!!
The hardest part will be for DW and myself. We've already completed our ADRs, packing lists and touring plans, now there's nothing left to do but talk about it. Not talking to the kids will be a challenge but I think it'll be worth it.
Has anyone done this? Either way we'd love to have your input?
