We just booked a "secret" vacation for my DD and her BF. Her BF has never been, but this will be our 5th trip in the past few years.
It is a trip of a lifetime for the two of them, as they have been master planning this since they were toddlers, but WDW was never in the cards for her BF's family-until this past weekend. So, whilst we had no plans to return until all the rehabs were completed, we jumped at the opportunity to join them!
I couldn't keep it from my daughter, as she is the type that likes to plan and prepare, so we told her on Family Day (Ontario, Canada holiday). She is so excited-she doesn't know where to begin.
That said, it is 2 mos from now and we are busy planning/packing for an upcoming Mardi Gras trip atm and this is going to overpower any interest in our current travel plans, so at the very least, I would like it to be productive obsessing
We've always traveled with our youngest daughter (now 4-dx'd ASD), so we made an effort to be as inclusive as possible when tripping around Disney.
We are now on the hunt for pre-teen/teen ideas that are budget friendly-as her BF's family is limited in what they can afford and would like to include fun things we might not have been able to do with the youngest in tow...
P.S. My 12 year old is a bit of a killjoy when it comes to anything with a drop-but wants to do the rides this time!
That's a huge start!
Thoughts?
