Re: "Mom You lied" - Surprise 1 day at WDW TR

Friday April 17th was supposed to be our travel home day. We figured traveling home on Friday and Saturday would give use 1 day to rest before DH headed back to work and the kids back to school. That didn't happen. We got up at 5:00 a.m. ready to head home (or so the kids thought) we hit the road around 6:00 a.m....but we made a side stop. Around 8:30 I said to the kids "Hey kids look out the front window...Do you see what I see?" At first there were smiles as big as could be on both of their faces, then out came the words "Mom you lied". "I lied" I replied, "Yeah" said my DD7, "you said we weren't going to WDW this trip". DH and I both yelled "SURPRISE" at the same time. We hadn't planned on making a stop at WDW this trip, but that image stuck in back of my mind the whole trip, so Thursday when DH and the kids were out boogie boarding I pulled out my phone and made some calls. When DH got out of the water for a break I let him in on the plans, he OK'd everything and I booked a surprise day at WDW to end our wonderful April vacation. We pulled into POP Century, checked in and headed to the MK. I was really impressed with POP, what a far cry from the All Stars. We definitely will stay at POP again. We had a truly wonderful last day of our vacation at the MK. Here are a few photos:
