How do I pull off a surprise?

I had planned a Disney vacation with my daughter and we were going to leave at the end of October. I ended up moving it up a month to take advantage of the free dining. I know that I told her this, but for whatever reason she still thinks we're going in October. Is there any way that I can surprise her for this trip?? I'd rather her not know until we pull up to the airport. I'm pretty sure that I can do the packing without her knowing anything. Just not sure what to tell her the day we're leaving as to why we're not going to school. Any ideas?

When we surprised the kids, we were leaving on a Friday morning, and they have tests on Friday. Since I wanted them to take the tests on Thursday, I told them that they weren't going to school on Friday because we were driving 3 hours to a nursing home, to celebrate a great-aunt's 80th birthday. Needless to say, they were more than thrilled to learn they were going to WDW instead!

Maybe Great Aunt Bertie is coming for a visit and you have to go pick her up from the airport?
