Hi all,
I just want to get this written so i can go to bed, otherwise i'll be awake all night thinking about it.
ok so we're off to the SL on May 5th and my children don't know anything about it
I was thinking of all different ways of breaking it to them and when to do it etc but I wanna see what you guys think (being a lot more experienced than me)
here's my idea , very roughly. please add your own because i really want to make this as magical as possible for them . this is our first family only holiday ever and dh's first time in DLP.
anyway, i was thinking of just waking up ds and dd on the morning we're going (4am!) and telling them we'd gotten urgent post in the door. I'll act as surprised as them
i'll show him a letter that says we must all be at the airport by 5.30 am with some bags packed and wait for further instructions.
I'll magic the pre-packed bags out from under the beds
then at the airport dh will go "rendevous" and come back with another letter that says we have to fly to paris and wait for instructions again.
i was gonna say some other city but they'll hear the pilot announce it.
then when we land another letter will "appear" telling us to get the tgv to marne le vallee station for a special suprise.
we wont be able to keep it a secret any longer than that because ds will recognise the station and sure as soon as we come up to the bustops he'll know exactly where he is ,
so hopefully they will only have discovered where they are going when we are actually checking them into the hotel
wouldn't that be awesome!! i wonder could i hold it in until then
anybody any other ideas for surprising them? please share them! I'm sure everyone would love to hear them
I think I'm getting more fun out of this than they will
now i can rest easy i got that out of my system
g'nite all x i'll check back tomorrow for any replies
