They looked at me when they finished it and said we’ve done...😂 I said read what it says... and it surprised them with “names... your off to Walt Disney world, they asked when and I said in 1 week... they were so excited.

I filmed it all and it’s an amazing memory to look back on.

We go next week and my eldest, now 9, still doesn’t want to know the exact day we are going so it’s a little surprise when we wake him early... Even though he knows we are going... 🙄😂
Your reveal sounds amazing, they must have loved that!

I did wonder about telling them we’ve booked August 2020, not 2021, but keeping the exact date secret. It won’t work for us though, as we’re going the last two weeks of the holidays, so by the time we get to our departure date, they’ll have worked out that it’s got to be then or never. (Plus they’ll have spent 4 weeks being disappointed!)

Still don’t know what to do!
