I am getting excited and nervous... My DH and I really wanted the trip to be a surprise this year, so that he and I would not hold the trip over their heads everytime something went wrong... "I hope you don't act like this in Disney", "I sure don't think Mickey would like to hear that word come our of your mouth". "Boy Minnie is going to be so excited to see you!"... etc. I think it put a little damper on the trip prep last year, and drove me nuts everytime I got so frustrated and I used it!
However, I could not do it, there was so much we had to talk about and not enough time, so we ended up telling the kids we are taking them on a vacation and we were going to Washington DC to see the Presidents House. Of course they were not that excited. So, we had to add some more suspense telling them we were going to find a great hotel with an awesome pool... then we got some excitement.
DH pulled up a picture of the WL pool, and then a picture of a dumpy hotel pool big enough for two people. Showed them the 2nd one first, DS almost started to cry. Then showed him WL (hiding all things Disney) and he said "oh boy, I hope you can get that one!"
We are taking the auto-train down... arriving the night before. I think we are going to keep it a secret until we get to the train... that part has not yet been figured out.
I sure hope its not a bust! I know I may not get the over top squeals out of them... but I sure would love them!!

!! I think this sounds like so much fun, surprising them like that! Whatever happens and I'm sure they'll be thrilled but they will remember it for the rest of their lives and tell their own kids about it 
. Have an awesome trip!
