HELP!!! I need some help!

[firsttimer2007]

First of all, I need help NOT telling DS's we are going to Disney.

The plan is to surprise them, on my youngest B-Day. This will me two weeks after my oldest B-day.

So here is what I need help with. How do I pack without them knowing?

We are driving and it will take +/- 20 hours to get there. I need things for them to do in the car.

I was thinking of hanging "happy birthday" streamers in the car and then packing little gifts for them to open every hour or couple of hours. That way they will have something new to do.

But...20 gifts times 2 kids. What do I get them as gifts, that will keep them busy for an hour or two?

I can't imagine getting 20 of them, and would hope the fun would / could last for a few hours at least... (and I'm not sure how appropriate they might be?), but if you go into places like Target or Walmart, they have little hand held games that I think cost about $5 - $8ea (which is why it doesn't make sense to get 40!!! but would be small and easy to pack away somewhere if you got 2 or 3 for them to share?).

I don't know if it might tip them off that something is going on.... but you could go through some of their clothes and things under the guise (spel??) of putting them away for warmer weather or something, and put them in your closet so they are all together right there and easier to pack once the big day comes?
