Shh. Its a secret we are going to Disney World Christmas 2014.

Today I booked a surprise disney vacation for next Christmas 2014 (haven't even told DH yet )
So now I have a huge task, keeping it a secret. I did manage to do a surprise disney trip in 2009 but I planned it in one month and DD & DS were quite a bit younger and pretty oblivious to what was going on around them. In fact we made it all the way to the airport ( a two hour drive, i told them we were going shopping at 4am) before they were even aware of where we were and all they asked was if we were picking up someone up. They will be 12(almost 13) and 15 when we go this time and I'm not sure how to pull this off or when to let them in on the secret.

Now for the details

Dates: December 26th-Jan 1st (may add more)
Resort: Pop

I talked to DH last night, I intended to do it sooner but I've been sick so he has been picking up a lot of slack so he's been busy, anyways he is totally on board!! Now the real planning begins. Still need to figure out how/when to reveal the surprise.

The holidays are over and its time to plan this vacation!!!

I have made a few changes over the last few weeks
~First, dates changed December 26th to January 1st (DD will have confirmation requirements and an advent Christmas program during our original dates)
~Second, We are now staying at Pop Century (We decided it worked out better financial as we have 3 other small vacations planned this year)
~Lastly, we will be using the DDP for the first time.

Now that the details are settled I will introduce my family

First, Me~ Jessica, I am a Legal Assistant (Paralegal) and am in the process of finishing my second bachelors degree in Business Administration. I am the vacation planner in my family (with a little help from my DD, but I'm planning this trip alone). My hobbies are cooking, baking and photography.

Next, My wonderful Husband Adam, he is a Electrical Engineer at a large steel mill. He also plays the Bass and the Guitar and he lets me plan Disney Vacations!!

Next, My awesome son Jordan, he is an 8th grader who plays Football, Basketball, Wrestling and runs track. He loved Disney world last time we went but is now in those teen years so I hoping he still loves it!!

Last But not least the princess of our group, Brianna, she is a 6th grader, plays volleyball and soccer and is a pageant queen. She is my Disney buddy, we both love Disney World and she will be so excited when I finally reveal the surprise!!

Joining in! I'm glad to see another report for December 2014!! It seems far away now, but it will come up so fast. Good luck keeping everything a secret, I'm always impressed by people who manage to pull that off because I get too excited and end up blowing it
