We are going to Disney in 37 days, I would love ideas on how to surprise my four year old son. I was thinking of having a character call him to tell him he's going to DW. Any ideas??? Thank you!

I would look on Youtube for vids like this. Some parents get really creative, and the kid can't contain his excitement. And there's always Lily's Disneyland Surprise.......

Well, surprises can backfire. We surprised my daughter at school when she got out. I had a Disney backpack filled with everything to have fun while flying. I had an envelope from "Mickey" inviting her to come down, a note from "Tiana" to stay it one of her Royal Rooms. She started to cry and didn't want to go. It went on for about an hour. It took McDonald's, some candy, and some other coaxing to finally get her to settle down. She had never reacted like that on previous trips. Not sure what it was.
Just be prepared for a reaction you didn't expect.

Walk into his room while he is sleeping and at the top of your lungs yell "BOO!" Surprises my kids every time.

As for real suggestions...
A call from a character would be good, or a "letter" with suggestions from said character for the upcoming trip, like things to see and a "see ya real soon" note at the end. Offers more visuals and a way to introduce different things in WDW.

It helps if the chainsaw has real blood on it, or so I've heard.Works even better with a clown mask and chainsaw.

Too much planning for anything elaborate. I booked our trip yesterday and we leave in 37 days lol. Just something cute and simple, I'm thinking of a character call.

Character calls are great! That's how my sister and I found out about our first trip. They currently offer a call from Ariel, Lumiere, or Sebastian.

Are you taking Magical Express from the airport or are you driving yourself? When we took our 4DD, she found out when we drove through the Walt Disney World property gates. She had no idea. The video of her reaction is something I will cherish forever.
Seeing is so much better than hearing and waiting.
But again, this only works if you're finding your own way on property. Magical Express (and the luggage tags) would give that one away early.

You can always try Disney's Enchanted Call..Where the Disney Charcater calls the house...You have to set it up tho...If you want them to tell them they are going on a trip you go to the "Good Morning" Section and select "Taking a Trip"...

We are driving, the airfare was crazy high with booking with only 38 days out. I thought about waiting till he saw the gate but I feel like he's figure it out, he's way too smart. Plus my older two know and if we wait till we get there and they blow the surprise beforehand I'll be mad lol.

For our last cruise we simply didn't tell the kids what we were doing. They didn't know until they saw the ship.

No need to apologize, I was laughing too. I asked her if I could take her friend instead that was there with her and my daughter said yes. She got over it when we finally got to the bus at the airport and it was real. She got to play with a few other girls at the terminal that were flying down too.
