So, we had a vacation planned for the end of September, which our kids (DS 7, DD5, DS1) were aware of.
But we took advantage of the great discounts on Deluxe resorts to upgrade and to move our vacation forward to May 4th, staying at the POLY.
Our kids have no idea!!!
It is driving me and DW crazy with excitement!!
1) the Poly is our dream resort to stay at.
2) the kids are going to flip their gords when they find out.
Our plan is on the 3rd to drive down to Kansas City (its a 3 hour drive). When I get off work on the 3rd, the van will already be packed (while they are at school) and they will be told that daddy has a surprise for them tonight.
When I get home, the 1st surprise will be that we are going to go out for dinner.
However, we will get dinner to go and head right out of town. We figure they will ask right away where we are going, so we are going to tell them "for a drive".
At some point during the drive, we are going to have to admit we are going to Kansas City. So, we will tell them we are doing a surprise vacation there.
We have a flight at 8:30 am, so.... we will get up, have breakfast at the hotel (at this point the plan is for me to go get the luggage from the room and get it to the shuttle) and take the shuttle to the airport.
We are guessing that by the time we get out of the van, they will realize that there is more going on than a trip to KC. :D
Both of the older kids had their first haircuts at WDW. We keep joking about how our baby's hair is getting long and we hope he can make it till September for his hair cut.
So, by the time we get to the airport, we will tell them that we are taking the baby to get a haircut.
I am thinking they are going to flip out big time in the van (probably better warn the van driver before hand eh?).
We are expecting quite a reaction and going to try and get it on video.
Anyone else done something like this with there little kids?
Would love to hear how it went for others!
WOOT! :cloud9: :mickey: :cool:
