Hi, Carey!
I have been a long-time lurker on your trip report (and your previous TR, too) - sorry for not speaking up sooner!
I really have enjoyed both reports and am looking forward to Kadence's remarks. As you can see I'm a fellow Wisconsinite and my DD is 7, so reading your TRs have been really interesting to see how other girls near to her age do at WDW. My DH and I took DD to WDW for her first trip this last November for her birthday.
I currently have a surprise trip for her and I planned for June. We leave on the last day of school. I've been discussing ways with my DH on how to give her the news. He wants to wait until we get to the airport (he's taking us to Milwaukee. Frontier has non-stop out of Madison but inconvenient times, which is too bad because we're only 15 minutes away from there!), but I want to figure out away for her to say goodbye to her friends before summer break. Flight leaves Milwaukee at 12:45, so we should be there by 10:45, which means leaving home by 9 am to make it. I'm kinda leaning toward having her go to school with a fake story of picking her up early for a doctor appointment. Then when we pick her up in the school office, have a Mickey balloon and reveal the surprise there........ I have a few months yet to figure it out
Anyway, just wanted to say it's been fun reading along!
