In September 2003 we surprised our kids! We told them we were going somewhere in Wyoming to help a friend of my DH's to build a patio cover on his house! Needless to say we played up how little the town was and that the hotel did not even have a pool! They were less than thrilled! Right before we left for the airport we brought them together and told them that our flight to Wyoming was cancelled so we thought we would fly to Orlando! At first they just looked confused then they got excited and my oldest was so excited she cried!
But that was not the end of our surprise! We were meeting good friends at WDW the next day too. We did stuff around POR the first day. Then when Disneymom's family arrived we acted like we needed to go to the lobby to get maps for the parks. Her kids were watching the movie in the lobby, my oldest DD was staring at her DD and came back and said look how much that looks like Katelyn, I just nodded
Then my youngest DD could not find a place to sit so I said "Why don't you come over here and sit next to Katelyn!" Disneymom's DS looked over and his mouth just dropped open! It took a second but they all finally got it and started jumping around in excitement!!
It was the Greatest surprise ever!!! They still tell people about it a year and a half later! When we went this past September they told everyone about the last surprise trip to WDW!
We are surprising them again in December with 7or 8 nights at WDW and a 4 night cruise with Disneymom's family again! And we are surprising our DH's with a Hummer Limo from WDW to Port Canaveral! I cannot wait!
