I'm planning a trip for next April. It will be a total surprise for my boys, they will be 5 & 2 1/2. So far I've been showing them (mostly the older one) shows about Disney on Travel chanel and such. Also we've looked at old planning videos and scrapbooks from earlier trips. He's already started in with the "Wow, I'd sure like to go there Mommy!!" I plan to have my niece send them postcards every couple of weeks starting in January. The postcards will be from different characters describing where they live and how much they would like to see my boys. I'll be telling the boys that their cousin is going to spend a week with us and we will go get her the day before our trip. When we get back to town we'll meet DH for dinner and that's when we'll break the news! We have a local restaurant that we are good friends with the owner and he's already said he'd help us out. So I was thinking something along the lines of our waiter picking on the kids throughout our meal saying he knows a secret and giving little hints. Then at the end of our meal having him bring out Mickey hats for each of them and telling them to go home and get packed! Any suggestions for any of this? Any for the hints or what the postcards should say? Thanks in advance for any help!
