POP Aug 17-24 !!!!!!

I voted the 22nd-28th since we'll be there on all those days, but we're actually leaving WI on the 18th and driving down over the course of 2 days. So technically we'll be in WDW from the 20th-28th, but our official vacation starts the 18th - 29th.
We're staying at All-Stars Sports ... DS' 6th birthday is on 8/6, and our 10th anniversary is on 9/30, so this trip is part annual vacation/part birthday celebration/part anniversary celebration.![]()
I hope your surprise holds out for you. It sounds like a blast.
We kept one of our trips a big secret until the morning of; when we woke our kids at 5am and told them, "let's go to Disney today!" - priceless.
We're scheming this trip in August as a surprise as well.
On the subject of when, usually we take them out of school in Sept., but this year we're testing the last week of August. It will be very hot still (yuck!), but then again, with fingers crossed, the crowds will have lightened some what from earlier in the summer.
My family is going Oct 7th thru Oct 16..14 of us and the kids don't know either. We will tell them the morning of also. Can't wait to see their faces!!!!
I'm still relieved that only 59 people will be at WDW from 8/3 - 8/14 when we're there. I don't think we'll be needing any FPs or ADRs this visit...
Ha - there will only be 21 people there with me!
