We have booked a surprise holiday to WDW for next October, which will form part (well, most actually) of my two girls' Christmas Present.

My original plan was to do a treasure hunt but, as they are 11 and 12, DH thought we could make it more interesting by having a puzzle for them to solve at the end. So I came up with the idea of having the clues to the TH on one side of the card and then a letter (with 11 letters spelling out DISNEYWORLD) on the back. But, DH reckons it will be too easy as they will realise as soon as they have a few letters.

Anyway, getting to the point I then thought of putting a word on the back with the initials spelling out DISNEYWORLD instead.

So far, I have got

DO
INITIALS
SPELL
N-E-THING (cheating, I know)
ENJOY
YOUR
WONDERFUL
O
RECREATION
LOVE
DANIEL, GARY & MUM

However, I am stuck with what to put for the 'O'. If I put the obvious (Orlando), they will get it instantly as soon as they see that word. So, has anyone got any suggestions, either for the letter 'O' or for other words I could use.

I'm sure you seasoned Disney fans can come up with something better.

Thanks
 
As you are going in October could the 'O' not be October??

Claire, you are a complete star :sunny: - why didn't I think of that?

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees.

Having treasure hunts is our 'thing'. For reasons best left unexplained (too complicated), I went almost 4 years without seeing my DDs (NOT my choice). When I did finally see them again, one of the first things my oldest said was 'Mam, do you remember when you hid our Easter Eggs and we had to find them with clues - and one of the clues was in the Snow White video'. I nearly cried that they remembered it from when they were only age 3 and 4. No prizes for guessing where the first clue will be hidden this year :teeth:

Bless - I love the way that its sometimes the 'little' details they remember. It is going to be so special for you all Christmas morning :goodvibes
 
What a great family Christmas present :) The treasure hunt idea sounds fun :goodvibes
