We've surprised our kids for nearly every single one of their Disney trips, but the surprises have varied in terms of how I do the reveal. If i want to do a surprise but I also want them involved in planning I either...
a. surprise them early. Ex. right before the 60 day mark if you want them involved in planning FPs.
b. change the dates so that you end up traveling before they thought they'd be going.
But there are so many ways to do a surprise. Before mine could read, we drove them to FL and they had no idea what we were doing until the Main Gate was in view. We've done scavenger hunts, wake up bait and switches, school picks ups where we blindsided them, bags packed around the Christmas tree with big bows on them, etc. I think it's fun and adds to the excitement, but it also does add to the stress.
