Help me plan a little surprise for my family!

[TheLittleKatie]

Hey DLP board!

Can't believe I have only just found this board

My Dad has booked 4 nights/5 days at DLP for my brother, step-mum and myself. We go 14th - 18th September 2015. So plenty of time until we go!

My Dad, bless his heart, won't let me pay anything towards this trip. But since I'm 22 years old I figured I should do something for him and the family. But I'm not sure what.

Does anyone have any nice surprise ideas?
Just anything I can do that will put a smile on their faces.

Thanks in advance

Ooh how exciting for you!
You could sneak off while you're waiting for Dreams/the parade and get some snacks and drinks for everyone....or if you're thinking of something a bit bigger you could book a nice restaurant such as Walt's or Blue Lagoon and tell them the bill is covered! Or if it's something you'd enjoy, you could do the guided tour of the parks? Good luck!

Some good ideas above

How about booking a meal in cafe Mickey and enjoy the character dining experience?

Not sure of budget but here are some ideas:

Cheap - get everyone started towards their own Disney pin collection and treat them to a disney lanyard and a starter pack of pins

Mid-range - treat them all to a pair of Mickey ears...or pluto or whoever they like most

Expensive (but worth it) - if you will be there over a sunday you could treat them to sunday brunch at the Disneyland Hotel. Not kind to the purse strings but so so worth it...best character interaction in the parks.

Tickets to the wild west show? Or as mentioned sunday brunch should be fab too

You could do the one of the tours (Disneyland Park or Walt Disney Studios) and follow it by tea and waffles in Cafe Fantasia in the Disneyland Hotel. The tour is €15 each and waffles are €7.50 each I think.
Or you could treat them to dinner or lunch at the newest park restaurant, Bistrot Chez Remy which looks to be amazingly themed. Prices are €16.99 for children, and €29.99 to €39.99 each for adults.
Sounds like you are going to have an amazing time

Thank you so much everyone!

Like I said, we still have a while left to plan, so I'll definitely start researching these ideas soon!
