Well this wk has been so so very hard for me!Ive wanted to tell the boys every single day
Dh says that ive manged this long"just over a yr" and so do not blow it now.
The hardest part was when i got the mail from Mickey!!!
Disney Uk sent us our Gift card,Voucher book,planner etc and it took all my strength not to run around the house screaming
Infact i wanted all day for Dh to come home to open it & then he made us wait until the boys was all in bed.......
We have just ordered our Photopass-plus (we have never done photopass so im very excited) I love pictures and now Dh wont be abe to say anything about me already done too many as he will want his money's worth too haha.
Postoffice insurance is done.We got the yr one as im determined to sneak a 10day trip in for Dh and myself next yr if we dont move stateside for our posting!Plus my mum and I are ment to be doing a China trip together as her 80th Bday present.
We buy our waterproof video camera this wk end so we can play around with it before the trip.
All clothes for the boys are packed they have a whole new case full including shoes pants socks etc as part of their surprise.
My case is growing by the day it nearly doesnt shut
Dh has finally taken an interest in the planning and has taken over by doing spread sheets etc of all our ADR's.
Plus he made the SURPRISE WK END countdown calander which is really cool.The ask everyday where it is we are going they have NO clue as they still think its Alton towers or Chessington.
We are now stuck on how to tell them though.
Originally it was going to be a treasure hunt around our Camp that would lead them home to the car telling them we are going out to dinner at the Mexican and then after dessert a cake would be brought out saying were going to Disney tomorrow!!
BUT
While at Frankie & Benny's the other day I noticed they do Pancakes and bacon for breakfasts and so the restaurent is actually on the eay to the airport its only a tiny 2 mile detour SOOOOOO...I was then thinking how cool would it be to tell them over PANCAKES!!
We would still do the hunt that would lead them to the car...My mum will have all the cases in her car as we need to take 2 cars so they wont know how much we are taking with us,We would then tell them were stopping off for breakfast when they arrive we will have them put up balloons they say SURPRISE and then after pancakes we will have them bring out the cake that tells them were going to Disney TODAY ....They will still have time to plan and get excited as we are staying at the airport that night due to Twilight check-in.
I actually now prefer the breakfast idea as there fav food is pancakes! plus i will get them to bring them out in the shape of Mickey i might even get them to write your going to Disney in sauce on the pancakes plate
