Re: How to surprise the kids with a Disney trip
Kind of cheesey but if there's a birthday between now and then you could always incorporate that into a gift or something ... Maybe a scavenger hunt that ends up with something very Disney Worldish ... Again, cheesey, I know ... but hey! Its Disney!

do it in the middle of the night

These are all such great ideas! I don't know if I'd ever be able to keep it a secret, we always have a countdown as soon as the trip is booked.

Had some friends of ours go to a local Pizzaria.... and asked them to make a pizza in the shape of the famous
Mickey head. Then they had it delivered and told her that dinner would be a clue to where they were going for
vacation. Cute Cute

Re: How to surprise the kids with a Disney trip
I've got a good one from the news the other day. An iphone owner sent a text message to his daughter that read:
However, as many iphone owners know, that the auto-correction can be quite pesky sometimes, and his did not recognize "Disney" as a word and substituted with some word that had to be randomly picked:iphone owner wrote:Your mother and I are going to Disney next month.
Needless to say, the college-aged daughter was freaked out by the text. Imagined how surprise she was to find out in the end it was really a Disney trip?iphone owner wrote:Your mother and I are going to divorce next month.

She might have been mad since she wasn't invited.

Re: How to surprise the kids with a Disney trip
Don't know about your local television markets, but over Christmas, our television stations were running commercials for WDW in which a set of parents surprised their kids on Christmas morning by saying, "We're going to Disney World today. We're on a plane in 2 hours."
Ever since then, I'm breathlessly awaiting the moment I can re-create that with my own kids.

She never got the divorce message, not the Disney message - thanks the Apple's auto-correction on the iphone.Wizzard419 wrote:She might have been mad since she wasn't invited.

Re: How to surprise the kids with a Disney trip
Sorry, I had the word "never" in there and it shouldn't be there - and I can't blame iphone auto-correct for that! Thanks for posting that! I had only heard it reported on the news, but they didn't have those graphics.

Re: How to surprise the kids with a Disney trip
That would be hillaroius if the wrong kid picks it up... wait that gives me an idea.
I need a zodiac, 300 bottles, and 300 notes that say "Surprise! Mom and dad are taking you to Disney World!".
