i would say invite everyone over for dinner and get mickey ears with everyones name on it..put them on each plate

Cool idea, Blue eyes! Do you think our local Disney Store sells personalized Mickey & Minnie ears?!

OMG I need to subscribe to this thread if only to find out what the end result will be. Its so exciting, I love the scavenger and trivial pursuit ideas.

edited to add: just thought how about a fortune cookie message?

Hmmmm....quite creative carolfoy! My mind is going a hundred miles an hour with this one. I do have a recipe for homemade fortune cookies...hmmmmm...

I agree however you tell them do it quick ! Kids are bringing home summer school sign ups and summer camp sign ups and many places you need to put in for summer time off asap. This is so nice off you I would hate for it to be ruined if someone couldn't get off. I'm a VBS director and we scheduled our dates last Monday. so it is sneaking up.
Your kids are so lucky. My Mom wanted to do the same but things kept interferring actually coordinating it and then my Dad came down with Lung cancer then a stroke with chemo and was gone in 8 mos. So get everyone on board fast, go and have a great time.
ps. take alot of pictures and make sure there is a picture of everyone that is there alone with you.

Hey I have an idea for your Xmas gift to your kids next year how about photo albumns filled with the photo pass group shots you have taken thru the world and print off at walmart from the disc you buy at Disney .

Oh, Hannathy-your post brought tears to my eyes. I wish I had something profound to say yet I am at a loss for words....I am truly sorry.

I like the gift bag idea and tell them only one bag is a winner. I also like the cake idea. You won't spend as much $ on a cake and you can eat it while y ou talk about the trip.

I think you could mix up the t-shirt/game idea and make shirts for ALL of them. Put only a few letters on each of their shirts in no particular order. They had to figure out what order they have to stand in to figure out the message. You could use whatever message you want depending on how many letters you want on each shirt. If you really wanna be creative you could put a couple letters on the front of each shirt and wrap it around to the back but that would make for more thought. But this way the adults would definitely get to be in the fun and they will SURELY be excited when they figure out both the puzzle AND the meaning!!!

What a great idea, tommygirl! Everyone has such wonderful ideas!!! How to choose??

carol,
We have "narrowed down" the list of possible ways to announce the surprise-and have given ourselves this weekend as a "deadline" for our final choice. I must say, the fortune cookie idea is very cool.... stay tuned!

We have given ourselves a "deadline" of this weekend to decide on how to announce the surprise!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

cant wait to see what you end up doing

 

[lynninpa]

Anyone else?!

 

[MOMOFMNM]

the fortune cookie is cool if you can get it done asap...

I like the Mouse ears idea on the plates...
and under the ears have a word game like the fortune cookie idea...like a puzzle made out of card stock or some thing

how NICE...

my mother just went to Mexico, did not take us or the grandkids!!

you are very wonderful

Not trying to hijack the thread here, but I'm looking for ideas too. We have a surprise trip planned to celebrate my dad's retirement. We need to do our big reveal on the weekend of 4/1. So keep the ideas churning...

Putting the puzzle "pieces" under the ears is a cool idea! Thanks, MOMOFMNM!
