MNSSHP is so fun. Great parade. We did this a while ago and had a blast. Have you thought out how to surprise her? That so cool. I did a surprise one Christmas for our new years trip with a scavenger hunt. You guys are going to have lots of fun.
Yep (see above,lol) and I think I'm going to Disney bound as Minnie and she'll be Izzy.I was originally going to be Doc's mom and she Doc McStuffins, but we changed our minds. LOL! I am going to video it. I think I may get my sister to do it, so I can help he open and read it.Oh she's going to love it! Do the kids dress up in costumes for that? Do you have a special way you're going to reveal the surprise to her? You should video her reaction.
Yours sounds pretty awesome too! I would love to take a 12 day vacation with DS. Does your DS know about the trip or is it a surprise?
Fingers crossed that it WILL be awesome! Now that we have a few other trips under our belts, I (and the boy) have a better idea as to what we can expect, which will hopefully cut down on some of the struggles that we faced while we were learning those magical ropes!
He does know all about it! BUT - this is the first in five trips that he actually knows the departure date. Every time we had a vacation planned, the boy knew that we were going, but he didn't know the exact date. That way he could be included in the planning, which he loves. Because I know his personality and how he reacts to surprises (he was absolutely thrilled with being surprised), I would just secretly pack and then haul his butt out of bed long before sunrise to jump on the plane. Luckily, all 'surprises' went off without a hitch.
This time around we talked about it, and I left the decision up to him as to whether or not he wanted to be surprised. He wanted to know the date, so for the first time, he has his own little countdown calendar.
Will your vacation be a surprise?
Yep, you nailed all the big ones for a little girl. Are you planning to do the Christmas Party? If not, you may need to do some research into that, as they'll shut the park down early for normal guests, iirc.First time to WDW for all of us.
