Going to Surprise the kids this weekend!

Two years ago, I tried to plan a trip for my sister's family to WDW and we made the mistake of telling the kids really early. The trip fell through and the kids were very disappointed.
This year the trip is definitely on. We have DVC ressies, parkhoppers, airfare, car and stroller rental and our ADRs.
We're spending a week at WDW early June and then 3 days at Vero Beach. So I bought three personalized Disney themed beach towels and this Saturday after Little League, we are telling the kids that when school ends in 6 weeks, we are going to a beach resort for vacation, but we have to make a stop first--at DisneyWorld!!!

DBIL will be videoing their reactions. I have seen some reveals go very wrong so wish us luck!

That sounds fun! I hope you have a blast!

How fun! Good luck. I would like to see their reaction!

Wonderful! Hope all goes well.

We did this last Christmas for a trip to Maui - we were leaving the next day! Not sure how we kept is a secret until then, I was sure DD had figured it out as we would get those sideways glances sometimes where we were trying to speak in code about the trip.
We wrapped a gift that started a scavenger hunt, and had them open it last. It had clues to the next hidden clue, then a riddle at the end.
It was so fun, the kids thought it was great! I was hysterical to see them read the clue, look at each other, shout the answer at the same time and take off running to the next clue.

So the personalized Disney towels arrived last night and the one for my niece is flawed. The machine/machinist stopped the embroidery half way through the first "A". They are sending a new towel but it won't arrive until next weekend, so she'll just have to make do with the T-RA Tinker Bell towel until then, lol.

T-Ra is a good superhero name. It's like She-ra.

So true! That's what I'll tell her tomorrow! In the end she'll have a matching set of Tinker Bell towels!
