We have taken our kids several times and have done surprise trips twice, but by far my favorite trip was a surprise Spring Break trip. We went to my mom's in Indianapolis and told the kids we were gonna stay at Nana's for a couple days and maybe do the Children's Museum, etc... We got up early for our flight Saturday morning (4ish) and started getting ready. Our kiddos heard and us and got up too, but they are morning people so they really didn't question why we were up so early. I then asked DS7 what he wanted to do that day, and he said, "Go to the Museum." I told him we were thinking of somewhere else, but he had to get dressed quickly. I handed him a shirt I made with a Disign from the Disboards with the fab 5, his name, and April 2011. He just kept asking where we were going and I was like, read the shirt! His face when he finally figured it out was absolutely priceless! And off we went to the airport and had a great trip! Anyway, long story but my point is, I would try to wait until the day of because it is truly awesome to see their reaction!

I love the t-shirt idea! Our original plan was to keep it a surprise and after reading your post I think we need to just suck it up and not tell them. I'm just so excited! Usually when we go to the world there are at least 14 of us with grandparents, aunts and my sister and her family but this trip it is just the 4 of us and I can't wait!

Tiffany, I'm so excited for you and all of you others getting so close to going. I can't believe that the LM will be open in just two short weeks! I don't know how many photos I want to see!

Awesome! That will be a wonderful surprise. A
few of the disigners even have shirts that say,"
Surprise, We're Going to WDW!"

I will be staying in a LM room on 9/22 then moving to a Nemo suite for the rest of the week. I will try to post pics of the LM section. I'm new to the dis board and know how to reply to threads, but how do I create one? Can someone help me with this?

I saw that you were from Ohio and going to be there the same time as us, how cool are you driving or flying? We are driving and leaving 2 weeks from today.

I have never stayed in a new hotel before, isn't it exciting!!!

An FYI -- LM is FAR from everything -- even far from LK! They could almost add a new land between them! I was surprised by the distance!

Oh no! This is my only worry about staying at LM. Of course when I called Disney convinced me the distance wasn't bad at all. I hope it's not awful. I'm mostly just worried about nights when we might want to go grab a soda in the mug or something...

We're going March 17-23 and staying in the LM rooms. I worry that it will be too far of a hike, so I'm looking forward to hearing other opinions on that.

Awh well. I was really concerned about this at first, but DH and I decided to just relax and not worry about it, and to turn it around so that we're just enjoying walking through the brand new resort. I hope we can keep that mind set when we're exhausted!

The good news is, each pool has its own drink station. So you should be OK as far as that goes.

I am still trying to wrap my mind around this distance. Can you compare it to something? For example, is it like walking from the Castle at MK to the Ferry? I know it may be weird to ask but it helps me visualize the distance in my little brain.

We are driving! We are leaving Friday night and driving through the night. We are a group of 8 adults and 2 little ones. So among the 8 adults, and 2 cars we should be fine with driving through the night! We are so excited too! 12 days until we leave!
