I need some creative advice!!!!

[aunt2brant]

We are planning a 50th birthday suprise for my mom on the Wonder 11.28.04...(I talked my aunt an uncle into spending the extra $$ for DCL) and I was wondering what would be a creative and exciting way to give it to her. We are having her party on Nov 19th and I was going to tell her then...
the only thing that I can come up with is putting the docs in a gift box and letting her open it, or doing a video of folks around town 'talking' about mom (staged, of course) and having the TA tell her on the video.
I would appreciate any advice!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you could do a sort of treasure hunt. Give her clues and everytime she finds a clue have it be something that has to do with sun, sand, or surf. Like for you first clue make a little rhym to lead her to place and have a beach bag with suntan lotion, then the 2nd clue have a pair of flip flops and a hat, etc.. until she finds the grand prize of the cruise documents. Good Luck and have a ball.

I like a combo of all the ideas already posted by other Disers....do clues, treasure/scavenger hunt with the video being the last thing she finds. What fun! Have a ball...and let us know how you decide to "tell" her and how it all works out!
