Ideas to Surprise Son on 6th Birthday Trip?!?!

[happymomof1]

I need some creative ways to surprise our boy with a 6th birthday trip to WDW. Should we just tell him when we get to the airport or be more creatice than that? Would love to hear ways you have told kids about surprise trips. Also, if you have decorated a resort room for a b-day, or left a special ?birthday treat" for a child to find...would love to hear about that too. I was thinking a special "pesent" from Mickey, but am not sure what to include.

Less than 1 month until we are back at WDW

Well, we surprised our son when we went for my birthday a couple of years ago (he was 4). We told him we were going to the Bronx Zoo but had to ride a bus (at the airport). It worked.

As far as things to do for his birthday, we go on his birthday every year and just got back for my other son's 3rd birthday. Here are some ideas:

-If you're staying on the property, make sure you tell the people at the hotel which day is his birthday. They bring balloons and a signed picture from his favorite character.
-Make sure you get your birthday button from customer service at the park you go to. Everyone says Happy Birthday and many times CMs will do nice things for your birthday child.
-Make sure you tell the people where you eat. Of course, they sing but some places do cooler things than others.
-We'll usually pick up a little toy for each day we're there and give it to him each morning for his, "birthday week." There's PLENTY to buy there for sure.
-They have birthday hats and even shirts now you can buy.
-It's a little late but you may be able to get into a character breakfast during that week. Let them know it's his birthday.


Birthdays are great in DW!
