The Culmination of Well Laid Plans...
Or at least plans I hope are well laid.
Upon completing his photo scavenger hunt he will receive one last clue from the club CM. Along with the clue, the CM will hand him a set of sand toys (once again, the IPO is doing some shopping with my credit card before we arrive). His last clue will direct him to head out to the beach to make use of his new toys. In the event of rain, I have a back up clue printed out that will take him back to our room instead.
Hopefully it will be clear because I am really looking forward to digging my toes down into the sand and helping my little
Goof build a castle. The best part of this moment? While
Goofy and I am busy building a castle he is sure to get an offer to help him. From who?

Well, his brothers and Dad of course!
Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!
YES!!! All of my plotting, planning, sneaky sneaking and tricky tricking will finally come together into one SUPER great moment for all of us!!
NOBODY except dh has ANY idea about this!
I have kept my big mouth shut! Not one boy suspects ANYTHING of this sort will be happening!
Yay me!
Let me pause on our beach scene for a second and back up here and share a bit of my previous planning. When we fly out, we are flying out from a city about two hours away. I did this by design so that the boys would not just think we would be coming back in to our local airport (normally we just fly out of the airport that's about 30 minutes away) on our return flight. Instead, they will think it's no big deal when dh gets them up in the middle of the night (they will be told it's just early in the morning) and shuffles them from their beds to the van to 'drive to the airport'. While they sleep dh should be able to put a lot of mileage between home and WDW. Somewhere along the way they are going to realize they have long since passed up the point along the route where they should have gotten off of the freeway to go to the airport. At that point, dh will have the immense pleasure of springing the surprise on them. I do so wish I could be there to see and hear their reactions. It's going to be a wonderful moment!
He said he will most likely ask them if they would like to pick us up at WDW instead the airport. My guess is the answer will be the 'right' one.
I already have their suitcases packed and put back where we store our luggage so they won't have a clue that anything is going to happen!
All dh has to do is pop it in the van after they go to sleep the night before.
Once they know where they are headed the boys should have about 6 to 7 hours ahead of them of drive time. Hopefully that time flies by for them since they will be so excited about their surprise. And I imagine that they will be very excited to hear that they are going to get to surprise
Goofy on the beach. They will love being in on his surprise (even if they only know for a few hours before they get to surprise him).
Cut back to the beach...as we are digging in the sand, dh and the boys will approach from behind
Goofy and ask him if they can help him build his castle.
I cannot WAIT to see his face. I think he will either start screaming and laughing or go into shock!
I am hoping he forgives me for using
MNSSHP as a 'red herring'. It was just the most plausible excuse I could come up with for us moving over to the Poly for 'only one night'.
I had to lead him down the wrong path to be able to surprise him with this (my granddaddy of all surprises).
So...no, we are not going to head to MNSSHP that night (they won't be having one). Instead, we have dinner reservations at Kona and another week's worth of Disney fun to have! I am hoping he will forgive me for the tricky stuff once he sees the outcome. Actually, I know he will. He LOVES his dad and brothers and I know he will be over the moon (and back again) to see them! It's going to be great! FOR ALL OF US!
I cannot wait to have my whole family together again at my favorite place. It's gonna rock!
You have outdone yourself once more.
) Then again, after a week helping you and your lovely family, I'm sure they will all be in great moods for my family's visit.
I can't even begin to comment! (I too was going crazy trying to figure out your HP night...) What a great surprise for Goofy, but also what a gift for you!!
