I think that is a wonderful idea! We plan on going the week after you. Since one of our kids (age 4) does not read yet, this will only work for one of our girls. We have not told them, we are thinking about surprising them all together. I work in MA so, I have April 17th off because of Patriot's Day (Boston Marathon) so, I was planning on packing the kids while the oldest is in school and we leave the following Monday. We were thinking about getting them ready the morning of our flight and when they ask where we are going, we plan on giving the two of them each autograph books and telling them that they will need these for our Disney trip. I can't wait to see the look on their faces. Hopefully we can keep a secret, my husband and I are so excited, we feel like kids again.

its like that Disney commercial with the little kids -- i just love the little boy who is rolling around on the bed saying " we can't sleep cause we are soo excited" !!! Its so worth the look on their faces when they discover where you are going - I did surprise them one other time - they thought we were just going to KY for wedding when really we drove down to Disney for Vacation after!

We are going the first of March and the kids do not know. We are planning on picking up DS7 from school with the car packed. I am making a sign stating Disney World Here We Come or if someone can make a cute riddle for him to read. Last time it was a surprise I spilled the beans . I am trying hard not to tell them this time, but I am soooo... excited. My friend told me that next time DH will need to keep it a secret from me so I don't squeal .
