Announcing a pregnancy!

[AKJ888]

Hi all!
So a big group of 15 of us (ours and my husbands family) will be going to Disney world next month. I will be 15 weeks along, hoping to hide any bump with a baggy shirt that first day!
I'm trying to come up with a fun way to announce baby #2 to the family. We do have a reservation at Cinderella's Castle. Also, I am due on my mother-in-laws birthday! She will be there too. I thought about seeing if the princesses could say something but what?
Any ideas??

Here is an article that my wife wrote a few years ago about how we did a baby announcement at WDW:

I think it would be awesome to include baby#1 in the announcement, though I don't know how old he or she is. But they could make a toast at CRT and include that he/she will be a big brother/sister. Or maybe make a shirt that says BIG____ on it and have he/she reveal it at the dinner!

Before you do anything including your MIL or another member of the family, make sure they don't mind being the center of attention. vs.

I would love to include our first child somehow and a shirt revealing the news is definitely an idea I've been tossing around!

That is an awesome story. I would have a hard time riding it without trying to rack up as many points as possible though!

I'd order a specialty cake for her birthday & have the message on it something telling everyone the news...

...like "Happy Birthday Grandma, Love your TWO grandkids." (or 1 more than whatever number grandchild she presently has)

If you go over to the restaurants board there's a specialty cake forum with all kinds of info & pictures. If the timing worked I was going to have a cake topped with the classic ear hat delivered to my DH at dinner & instead of having my DH's name written on the hat, it would have had "Daddy", but the timing didn't work out.

Either way, good luck & congratulations! So fun!

When I was in WDW 2 weeks before we were finding out the gender, I took a pic in front of Cinderella's castle at night and posted the picture on Facebook with the caption--"Prince or Princess--2 more weeks". You could do something similar to that effect and even send out the photo to everyone early one morning or even send it in the middle of lunch/dinner when you are out with everyone.
