The Best Christmas Present Dec 2011
Thought I'd bite the bullet and do my first trip report!
We are planning a surprise trip to Florida. We are telling the kids on Christmas Day and leaving 3 days later on the 28th. Cast Me- Mummy. Totally obsessed with everything Florida. Having been a total theme park fan I have been lucky enough to explore more of Florida in the past few years and love it - especially Key West. Daddy - A florida convert and Key West fan Jake - 8. Been twice before - the last time he was 3 and he remembers very little except the size of the TV in the apartment. He adores star wars and dinosaurs Arabella - 7. Also been twice before but doesn't remember anything. She is a thrill seeker so will no doubt love all the rollercoasters plus all the girly things. Eva "Diva"- just 4. First visit! First flight even. SHe is quite tall and brave so she enjoy the rides and can't wait to meet the princesses. Grandma "Baa" - Same as me, huge florida and Key west fan The reveal Still working on the finer details. It will def be Christmas day and I will wrap up hand luggage, $70 each , travel pillows etc. Not sure if I'll just wrap all the present ups and let them open them with the their gifts or whether I'll do it all seperate. Suggestions? My mum is flying up from Cornwall on boxing day to catch the flight with us on the 28th. We will then let mum reveal that she is coming with us! Its going to be exciting picking her up from the same airport we are flying from 2 days later! The trip We are flying with virgin on the 10.25 flight from Manchester. Staying in the lovely Orlando Star Villa. We are having a 4 night stay in Key West from New Years Day. Staying in the amazing Marriott Beachside in the presidential 3 bedroom suite - it is out of this world! Then back to Orlando Star. My mum is picking her partner up from Miami en rout down to Key West. So the kids won't know about this until her turns up at the room! Made a few ADRS Spiderman breakfast the day after we arrive. Trex Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for the girls Pirates League for Jake CRT after BBB and pirates league Plus more I'll update more tonight to say where we are up to with everything Abi |

What a lovely set of ongoing surprises!
I think I'd be tempted to wrap the hand luggage with a little card to each of them somewhere in amongst all the bits! Have a lovely holiday & look forward to hearing how the big reveals go! |

Sounds great. We are surprising our kids on Christmas Day also and are travelling on the 1st January for 2 weeks. Finding it hard keeping the secret now but can't wait to see their faces on Christmas morning
