Just discovered this board and have been peeking through threads, so thought I would introduce myself.
I'm Karyn, married to Colin for almost 11 years. I'll be 42 in April. I've been a social worker for over 16 years. I have a 6 year old son who I adore and 2 furry kids (dogs, Winston and Blackie).
I have been to Disneyworld 4 times. Once in 1974, the second time in 1984, the third time in 2007, and the last visit was 2010.
We are hoping to surprise my husband's brother's kids in June with a trip to WDW. They are 17, 12, and 10. We are just waiting to see when school lets out, since school will be extended due to excessive snow days this year. The surprise will probably be revealed at the hotel the first night, after we've led them to believe we are going to someplace kinda boring. We will either get a pizza, tell them to come and get some and have them lift the lid right then and it'll say "Surprise! We're going to DisneyWorld!!!" or give them a folded map of Florida and say "Find where we are on the map as a school assignment," and when they open the map, WDW will be circled and it'll say "Surprise! We're going to DisneyWorld!" I am open to other fun ways to surprise them, although I'm partial to the pizza idea (which I found online).
I feel like we've done our last 2 trips and missed so much from not being "in the know," so I'm hoping to get some good tips from this board this time around.
