What a great way to surprise your kiddos! How exciting, am sure they will have a great reaction. We tried to surpirse my siblings but werent as organized as you but they were still quite surprised (once they got over the disbelief lol).
OMG! We are SOOO excited!!!
DH and I are going to spring the SURPRISE on our boys TOMORROW MORNING! I can't believe we have managed to keep this trip a secret for so many months...
Our trip to POFQ 8/25 - 9/1 is smack dab in the middle of our boys' 8th and 11th birthdays, so we are wrapping up a GIANT gift box for each for them to open . Outside will be an "Invitation" for them to CELEBRATE their brother's birthday... on 8/25....at.... then they will open the box and have balloons fly out (Mickey Mouse, too, of course!) with a whole bunch of Disney stuff inside.
Now, if they don't absolutely go BANANAS, it will be a huge let-down, of course... DH has been planning this surprise for MONTHS, and wants them to, as he delicately puts it, "absolutely lose their $%&!"
We made our first trip to DW last Christmas and FELL. IN. LOVE!!! None of us has been able to stop talking about it since we got home. When the Free Dining promotion came up again, we jumped on it! Wish us luck (and a little pixie dust!)!
(Didn't want them too excited!)

It may take a few moments to sink in but I bet they will be thrilled.
We surprised our kids in 2010 and it honestly could not have gone better. We just did it around the supper table a few days before the trip. We had told them we were going camping and talked about camping for a few weeks.
They were ok to go, but not really thrilled with the idea.. especially since we kept talking about how hot it would be and how it might rain the whole time
So we shared with "good news and bad news". They thankfully chose the bad news first (they always do).
Bad News.."We've decided it isn't the right time for us to go camping"
My then 6 year old .. "That's ok you guys.. we can have fun at home"(he's such a doll).
Well the good news is..."We leave for Disney the day after tomorrow". There was about 30 seconds of silence, as their faces contorted and they looked at eachother, then back at us..
And then shouting and squealing and laughter and actual happy tears from both of them!!!!
I wish I had filmed it but really didn't think to. It's one of my best memories ever.
My 6 year old told us he had to go to his room to think and calm down
Excellent surprise!!!!

I finished by DIS and Team August buttons for my hat. Hopefully I will be able to meet a few Dis'rs with them. I just hope they survive in the rain
Just got these two shirts at Kohls today for DD and I. The gray one is hers and the white one is mine. Ended up paying 69 cents total, for them both, using Kohls cash and a coupon I had. Can't beat that!
OMG! We are SOOO excited!!!

Awesome surprise! let us know how it goes!
We tried to surprise DH's parents (he and his sister & brother all planned this for a year) and arranged for everyone to get together in May. As much as DMiL& DFiL tried to act surprised, you could tell they weren't. It was a huge let down for the little kids. Turns out Disney, under strict instructions NOT to contact them, mailed them everyone's invoice (we all chipped in together for the trip and didn't want them to know even how much it cost) not once, but twice!! They were happy though, especially once they figured out they weren't paying for everyone (as it seemed by the invoices).
to our group!
