How to reveal our holiday!

Snoobs · 27 Jan 20, 11:16 AM

So our kids have no idea we're off to Florida in March (for DS1 and DD birthdays) and I'm planning a reveal.

In the past we've ordered personalised jigsaws that revealed it once put together and Easter egg hunts with letters attached to each egg, spelling out 'Disney World'

But I'm stuck this time!
The kids are 12,10 and 2.

Any ideas or your previous reveal ideas would be much appreciated!

We done a surprise reveal for my brothers 11th Birthday and I made a video of all our photos of a previous trip to Disney music. We had all the family round for a birthday tea and our previous Florida holiday came up in conversation (with a little help from those in the know lol), so I put the video on for 'everyone to see'! We all sat to watch it and when it came up to 'The End' the music stopped for a few seconds, a cross went through the text and the music started again and it went on to reveal his surprise, 2 weeks in Orlando, a Disney Bahamas Cruise and 4 nights in NYC! It worked so well and he definitely didn't see it coming!

We tried this once when our DS was about 8. He stormed off in a mood shouting, "I am not a baby".

He later was happy when we got the youtube videos of the bigger rides.

I normally do a treasure hunt around the house and to be honest my eldest (17) missed it as we revealed on Saturday we had booked for next year (a year earlier than planned). My mam came over late on the night with kids thinking my dad had upset her (cruel I know haha) and after a few minutes she produced a sign that said we were going. The yohnbngest screamed (13) and eldest just looked really confused. It was so last minute decision I couldn't come up with anything that they would realise straight away. Yesterday we gave my youngest and my parents a disney gift box each as it's my parents first time.
