OH! WOW! Cindy Ann, you and dh are amazing! Your kids must be soooooooooo excited! To keep such a wonderful secret must have be soooooo much fun! HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME! I heard the weather has been great! Where are you staying, how long are you going for, what airline? I would love to hear your details and how you kept it such a secret for so long! CONGRATS AGAIN! S
 
Thanks, Sandra. That's really kind of you! :)

Well, we're leaving on January 4th for 4 nights at All Star Music followed by 4 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The only way we were able to keep it a secret was to not tell anyone! I think I only mentioned it once even here on the boards. Our mothers didn't find out until the children had opened the gift, since they're both notorious for accidentally letting secrets slip. We've also only had it planned for two weeks (which also made it an easier secret to keep) so, manic planner that I am, I haven't even made a single PS yet!! With Christmas to get organized, I didn't have time for anything else.

We got a postcard for the moderates, but since they were booked for our dates, they allowed us to use the code for the deluxe resorts instead, at a higher price, of course. We've rented our car through National, and DH got us flights via Air Transat. I think our flights were about $1350 for the four of us, so that seemed relatively reasonable. Now we only have to get the special Canadian 7 day hoppers and we'll be all set.

I can hardly wait, I'm so excited! We've been listening to the Main Street Electrical Parade CD - that always gets me in a Disney mood. We've also been playing with the Walt Disney Explorer on the computer this morning, and that's fun, too.

Thanks again, Sandra. We're looking forward to it!
 
Wow, what a surprise for your family, Cindy Ann! :) They must have been thrilled! Have a great trip. :earsboy:
 
What a wonderful surprise!I hope you all have a great trip.:)
 

Lucky Cindy Ann and family! I hope that you all have a wonderful time!
 
Great present Cindy-Ann. You are going to love AKL. Have a great trip.
 
What a wonderful Christmas surprise that was! Hope you and your family have the best time yet!!;)
 
Have a wonderful time Cindy.:pinkbounc :bounce:
 
Thanks very much, everybody. We are all VERY excited. The All Star Music has now changed to All Star Sports, because we could get all 4 nights there at the discounted rate, but otherwise everything remains the same. At least now I've planned out the parks and the meals so I can call for my PSes tdoay.
