Any Ideas to make it a special trip for first timers?

[mickey66]

Hi
We are going again in January(counting the sleeps)
That's DH(41), DD(11)DS(8) and me(40) and this time will be accompanied by my Mum(75), my sister(55), her daughter who is my niece(30) and her daughter who is my great niece(3)
We have been a couple of times before but they haven't and am wanting to make it a real holiday for them to remember
My great niece, bless her watches our latest holiday DVD every day and is soooo excited. (although we may get into a fight over Mickey as she loves him too )
DH has finally got someone to go on the big rides with (niece)as DD,DS and myself are wimps,although we are tempted to go on BTM this time

I have lots of ideas,although it is getting to be a bit of an obsession now and they are all taking the mickey out of me and my meticulous planning but wondered what people's opinions were on making it really memorable for them all....especially Mum who without going into detail, will never have this opportunity again.?

Thanks in advance

Pam

Definitely a character meal. seeing the children have a good time is always magical for grown ups.

Have to agree on this.
When MIL and FIL came with us the joy in their faces watching the joy of the troops was just magical.

I agree ~ apart from the characters and the lovely food it's also nice to use the time to relax.
