Making Her Wishes Come True: Surprise Proposal Trip!

Heads up, if you tell her Savannah and she is awake when you get through Macon, Ga she might get on to you then. That's where you turn to get to Savannah and I faintly recall there being a few hard to miss signs indicating where to go.

If you tell her southern Ga and you can keep her asleep when you cross over the boarder you'll probably be in luck for a good while at least. You can't really tell a difference till you get within the last 2 hours or so.

And remember those Disney billboards start popping up about an hour or so out of Atlanta.

This is exactly what I'm worried about. I'm pretty certain she will be awake for at least the Southern part of Georgia. It's going to be sketchy to try and play it off going that way. But, the other option really isn't much better.
 
We will be there at the same time all this is happening! i will be sure to be on the look out at Ohana that night! OUr reservations are not until 8pm, so we will be coming in as you leave.

Following along, this sounds like a great way to propose!

The amount of people who will be at The World at the same time as me and are now commenting in this thread is pretty cool.

I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for people the whole trip, I'm sure there will be someone who recognizes us, or that I recognize at some point on the trip.
 

Maybe you should tell her that you are going down to Florida but somewhere further south like Tampa. You have to take the same highway so it will be ok to go past the Disney signs.

That's why I was saying I could possibly use Ft. Lauderdale. It's a place we've talked about going before too which is a bonus.
 
That sounds perfect! I love it there lol. That drive is going to be the longest drive for you, I know I would be bursting at the seams
 
Oh that's so good! I'm glad I have tricksters like you guys in my corner for this. I never would have come up with the idea of implying a cruise.

That's totally going to be the plan.

I am the trickster. Actually I can't lie to save my life. My girls have no idea we are going to be in Disney next weekend. But we told them we were going to Savannah, GA. And we are going there, but just for two nights and then we go to parks.

If we were really not going there, then I can only guess at how badly I would have fumbled around and given the trip away to my kids. :)

Savannah is a beautiful town! I enjoyed the trip my family took there immensely. Have fun!
 
We only do what we can! I can't lie either. I almost always spoil birthday and Christmas gifts unless I do last minute shopping

I'm infamous for spoiling my surprises with her to the point where she doesn't think it's possible anymore. Boy is she going to be surprised when this one happens. haha
 
If all else fails you could always slip her a Benadryl!:rotfl: That is unless she's the type that gets really awake and wired when she takes it.
 
I think the cruise idea is a great one!

I give it to you for being able to keep it a surprise for so long! I suck at keep surprises and would've spilled a long time ago!
 
Ahhh, I missed out on the surprise planning. :sad1:

Kidding! So glad you came up with a workable plan. I'm pretty sure my oldest is on to me, but she's keeping her cards close to her chest at this point so I'm not 100% sure how much she knows. :scratchin I suck at secrets.

I hope you pull it off, but even if she figures out the destination on your drive, she still won't know everything that's coming!!!

Good Luck with the plan! Can't wait to hear more. (By the way, how smart of you to spread out your plans. I'm out of things to talk about in my PTR. Doh! :upsidedow)
 
TRAVEL DAY!

After months of planning, saving, re-planning, and waiting the trip finally begins on this day. Just writing this paragraph is getting my blood pumping! It’s finally getting real and I’m getting extremely excited. I think there is a reason why I have waited so long to write out the details like this and it’s because the excitement is starting to get to me already. Let’s pause real quick and get my Disney fix in before I blow it…..

This should work.

….. If you’re wondering, yes I did take the time out and actually watch that whole video before moving on and yes it did help. That family has some of my favorite Disney videos.

Alright back to the trip. The plan is to have her come to Ohio from Michigan either late Friday or Saturday morning. She will have packed everything she needs from Michigan so she will be ready to go already by the time she gets to my house. I will of course have everything packed as well. The plan is to nap on and off through the day Saturday and leave Saturday night around 9-10pm and start heading south!

She is a night owl to begin with, so if you take that into account along with the excitement of the trip then I fully expect her to be awake until midnight or even 1am while I’m driving. This means she will probably be awake for the most part of Kentucky and MAYBE into Tennessee. This is why I really need the false clues to lead her astray before the trip because I know she will be hammering me for clues and trying to get me to crack during this time before she passes out. I can only say, “I’ve held this secret for months you really think I’m going to spoil it now” so many times. Haha

In any event if I am able to stay awake like last time and power through with some energy drinks etc then we should be arriving at the House of Mouse between 11:30a and 12:30p or so. We got their earlier last trip but were not able to check into a room until much later so it’s not really worth it to show up too early. The plan once we get there is to check in, go to downtown Disney for some Earl of Sandwich and shopping, and hit up Winter-Summerland for some putt-putt fun.

After a long day of driving and probably more than 24 hours straight of being awake I’m going to be ready to crash early on this night even though I’ll probably be too excited/nervous to sleep. She will probably be ready for bed too early because she will know how I like to attack the parks (get up early and hit EMH, relax in the afternoon, then hit the parks again at night). At this point last year I went over the full plan with her as far as what parks we plan on doing which days and where we will be eating. This time, that’s going to remain a secret. I know she will be BEGGING to know details but there is no way I can give up any of that info because I’ll be forced to keep the Trek a secret and when that time comes and it pops up as a surprise she will know right away that it was planned and that’s when the proposal is happening. I just risk WAY too much to give her any detail, I know this will be driving her nuts. Haha.

You are sooo evil, leaving her guessing like that for so long. I love it! :lmao:

Looking forward to the rest of the plans!!
