Surprise Discovery Cove Trip

[choppee]

Wanting to surprise our kids with an upcoming trip to Discovery Cove! Any ideas how my hubby and I could pull it off? Any ideas are welcome and appreciated! Thanks

I am not sure what you are asking? Is it how to tell them about the trip?

Just pulling into DC entrance will probably have them bouncing in their seats lol

Not sure when your trip is (or the ages of your kids), but if its after mid-April, what about DC-themed Easter baskets?

Use large sand pails as the 'basket'. Fill them with flip flops/water shoes, Panama Jack sunscreen (which is what is used at DC), sunglasses, and maybe a disposable waterproof camera. Add in a stuffed dolphin and a plastic Easter egg with a note inside ["Surprise! We're going to Discovery Cove on ________!"].

Amazon has a good selection of dolphin plushies if you can't get them locally:

We are giving D.C. as a birthday present to our DS 12 days before he goes. We are giving him a birthday card that has a picture of a dolphin in it with a clue to his gift.
