I would like to surprise a friend - suggestions please

[Rachael Q]

My friend and her family are going to the world July 2006. She is a huge disney fan and her and DH have been before (last time was 98 or there abouts). Her DSs will be 6 and 2 1/2. The older one has been to DL but not DW.

They are staying offsite in a timeshare with other family members.

I would like to organise a suprise for them.....I am currently making some family trip t-shirts, and for birthdays and christmases we have given them some Disney dollars, Unofficial guide and kids' guide, disney ponchos, luggage tags etc. I have already organised a gift basket (one of other family members will take stuff with them and set up once there) with autograph books, GOH badges, lanyards, a few pins, pens, chocolates, water bottles and a nemo and woody toy. I have ordered two pal mickeys from the outlet store (thanks to the DISer who posted they were on sale for $13.99).


But I would like to set something up for them there. Now should I get something for the two adults - tickets to La Nouba ? - they both like cirque du soleil and the other family members would baby sit orthe Segway tour? Any other suggestions?

Or should I do something for all four? and if so what?

I know you will have some great suggestions.

Sounds like you are a great friend, and have already set them up very nicely!

Since the kids are going to love everything anyway, perhaps a special event for the parents, as you suggested, would make their vacation extra-magical (assuming someone is able to care for the rugrats).

I like the La Nouba idea, but perhaps a quiter evening would be better? You know your friends the best, after all. Would they enjoy the excitement of the show, or a nice, quiet dinner without the kids?

Congrats on being such a great friend!
