Hi there! After almost a year of planning we are 22 days from our trip (1/28/2020). Our girls ages 12 and 8 think we are heading to Marco Island for 2 weeks but in reality we are flying to Orlando for a week first then a week in Marco. My family is no stranger to WDW and my kids tease me that I'd never be able to surprise them because I love to talk about the planning process too much. Haha!
I'd love to hear some stories about how you surprised your kids. Right now DH is planning on making a video the morning of (about an hour before we leave for airport) of us three going over the checklist. Then we will mention we "forgot" to put on the luggage tags. I will hand them those telltale yellow Magical Express tags and ask them to help us put them on. DH will say "oh, and you're going to need these" as he hands them their Magic Bands. And the screaming/crying will begin! I have been to our local Disney Store a few times and will have a bag sitting on their beds with clothes and ears, then give them a little time to collect pins, Duffy, etc all their "Disney" things. I am losing my mind with impatience!!!
We normally stay at Pop, but we decided to splurge and do AKL. They are going to lose their minds!
Tell me your stories, how did you surprise you kiddos?
