[wee-haggis]

U]Cast Of Characters[/U]
DH - Rick (49) - Driver and chief worrier
DW - Julia (42) - Co-Pilot and wanderer (where is your mum?)
DS - Matt (15) - Chief Babe Spotter
DD - Nicole (13) - Disney "wannabee Animator"

This is our 12th visit as a family and first time to Cypress Pointe.
We have surprised the kids twice before but this time is definitely the biggest yet (Suprised will be revealed on Trip Report for Aug/19th).

Day 10 - Aug/19
Today is very a exciting day because DH and DW will be revealing later in the day a big surprise that DD and DS have no clue about.
Everyone is up early and the kids are very depressed because they think it is their last day on vacation.
DW finishes the laundry,everyone has breakfast and we head out to DTD.
We start at the West Side and visit Virgin,Starabilious,The Magnet Store. We then walk straight through to the Marketplace and take the boat ride to Port Orleans French Quarter for lunch. After lunch we take a walk around the resort before heading back to the boat.

We took this photo for the cousins who had stayed there last year.

From the boat on the way back,DH takes a photo of the construction going on in Pleasure Island where they are updating the Club areas.

We return to the villa and the kids are even more down in the dumps because it is our last night and they have said there goodbyes to Mickey ,Minnie and crew.
DH comes out from the bedroom with the video camera rolling pretending to interview them asking them their opinions on how much they enjoyed their trip. DH tells the kids that we have a last surprise for them and we then toss them a homemade T-Shirt each with a photo on the front.

After some confusion the kids realize that the surprise is not the T-Shirt itself but whats written on the T-Shirt !. The kids were so happy ,it was hugs all round!!!
We are going on a 4 night Disney Cruise the following morning !!!
After much hooting and hollering DW throws them another bag with various Pirate Gear (to be used on the Wonder Pirate Night)she bought in Canada.

Everyone is very excited and talks about the upcoming cruise. DH and DW breathe a huge sigh of relief because they have kept this secret for 14 months !!!.
We then go to Walgreens to pick up some last minute items and then return to the Villa to do the Happy Packing Dance
Sweet Dreams for everyone tonight.

Faves Of The Day
As if you need to ask !!

Dislikes Of The Day
The kids thinking they were going home!!!

Wee-Haw, Wee-Hagis! What a surprise! I couldn't last a week let alone 14 months.

I am enjoying your trippie, but wish it was all in one post. Not that I am complaining, just giving my thought.

Thanks for all the work! It is a fun report

 

[Cyrano]

What a magic surprise. Can't believe you managed 14months on this one. We kept secret about DLP for 5months and we managed but it was hard
