We got home Saturday! It was an awesome trip, but we were ready to come home. It was humid & hot, but not crazy crowded like I had feared. DH has even said he would go back to WDW in a few years, so the pixie dust worked!
My brain is still on WDW overload, so trip reports must wait.
I don't know how people do WDW without these boards. DH said I did a great job with planning our schedules.
Good luck! I tried to do the suprise plan once and was 7 days away when my Mom let it slip by accident. She called to offer to take care of the dogs. But I wasn't mad she still hadn't realized she was going with us for her first trip to Disney at 63 years old.
