We booked our upcoming trip in early September. Wanted to keep it a surprise from our two kids and by some miracle managed to do it.
I had 4 envelopes sitting on the mantle waiting for them each this morning. The first was the WDW luggage tag. 2nd was customized maps for each of them highlighting their favs, from the WDW website. Envelope #3 was a letter from Mickey for me DS and Minnie from my DS saying along the lines of, "proud of you for doing so good in school, we know you are excited for Christmas but we have one more surprise. please open #4" In the last envelope was a December calendar for each - printed from the Disney website. There was an airplane icon the day we fly out and mickey icons the week we are there with another airplane when we fly home. THAT is when they got it!!!!
It was great! They were so surprised and happy and I videotaped the whole thing.
NOW...I feel excited about going and don't have to worry about spilling the beans anymore! I can also start to get organized and pack without suspicion!
Just wanted to share......thanks for reading
