Need ideas for how to tell the girls about an upcoming Disney trip

[pantherlj]

Here is some background.

I want to tell them in the next couple of weeks for our upcoming trip in late October. I want to do it in a fun and memorable way.

DH and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary in September so this trip is our anniversary trip as well. We honeymooned in Disney

Girls are 13 and almost 10. We have been twice before. We are going late October for a week.

Any ideas?

We did a scavenger hunt, I made up clues to lead them around the house, at each location they got another clue and the end was the "treasure". This was our vacation packet wrapped in a Pirate bandana, they loved it.

Well when we went with our grandsons last June. we waited until the day off,which was the last day of school and told them in the morning...we gave them Disney duffle bag(or back packs) for carryons and told them when we got home from school we were getting on a plane and going to Disney...they went wild... but I know you want to do it early but the duffle could still work and they could start to fill it with their stuff for the plane or costume if you are doing the MNSSHP... we decided not to tell the boys early so they would not drive us crazy like in the past...it was just tough keeping a secret...
I like the scavenger hunt and maybe the duffle/backpack/tote at the end..
Have a great trip and anniversary. Oh maybe I will see you we are there at that time too...going from Oct 16 thru Nov7.
