Goodness, it's hard to keep a Disney secret!

We are leaving on Thursday and the kids still have no idea!! I am having a really hard time containing my excitment!! I want to tell them all about it soooooo bad!! They think we are flying to Dallas for a long weekend to celebrate DS's 10th Bday. I don't know if they'll figure it out once we get to the airport, we'll try to distract them enough so that they don't figure it out. I would love it if they don't figure it out until we get to MCO and see the Magical Express bus...but I don't know if I can pull that off since DS can read. He hasn't flown since he was two, so he doesn't know much about airports....maybe I can convince him that after we drop off in Dallas, the flight continues to Orlando....

Once we get there, we are also going to surprise them with MSSHP ON DS's bday....

I had to share with you guys.....I can hardly contain myself!!!

Re: Goodness, it's hard to keep a Disney secret!

What a great surprise for your DS. I can totally relate, our trip in Dec. is a surprise and my kids have no idea. It's more difficult keeping it a secret than I ever imagined. I figured it will be worth it in the end, their faces should be priceless.

Re: Goodness, it's hard to keep a Disney secret!

How exciting. I hope you can keep it a surprise until you get there. My DD snooped and found all of my planning stuff, so it is no longer a surprise for her, but my DS still has no idea. I can't wait to see the look on his face when we arrive in Orlando. I can't wiat to hear all about your trip when you get back.

Re: Goodness, it's hard to keep a Disney secret!

Hang in there. You only have a few more days to hold in the surprise. If he figures out that you are going to orlando at the airport, tell him the plane stops there before going on to dallas.

Re: Goodness, it's hard to keep a Disney secret!

I have to give you my congratulations on this. I'm leaving the 28th, and I tried to keep it a secret from my 6y DD, but I couldn't. Even the CRT lunch, couldn't be kept as a secret (I had to ask her, because she doesn't like CInderella that much)... I wish I could've kept the secret

Have fun

Ooo, how exciting!!! KEEP THE SECRET, it will be SOO worth it just to see the look of excitement when they finally realize! I love it!
I REALLY like Dana's idea! If they start to get suspicious of the airport (ie, Disney bags & souveniers everywhere) tell them this airport is a stop and you can to switch planes. You can even be sneaky and say "oh, I wish we could stay here and go to WDW." hehe

We did the same thing for our twins 11th birthday last year. We kept that trip a secret from the day the idea of going to Disney until the day we left for Disney. Nearly 9 months. The entire village knew what DH and I were up to and the boys never had a clue.
I am telling you this because I want you to know that it is possible to keep a secret until it's time to reveal it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
