Unexpected Reactions
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Unexpected Reactions
Apparently they were told that's where they were going, possibly a friend or relative they care to see. So i get kid 2's reaction, kid 1 looks to be about two years old so, meh, she might be hungry or just looking for attention. Kid 3 (boy? girl? meh whatever) is a tween. The trendy and cool tween cares not for adult overlord's decision and decides to go against overlord's plan while not being able to leave will result to mocking the entire trip.DLRFantasmic!Dan wrote:I find it hilarious, especailly the kid that says, "I want to go to Dick's House!"

Plus, they've been driving all night...etc.
I remember the story my parents have told us (a bajillion times) about our first trip. We went to a Disney Store in one of the malls where they went to the counter and got the park tickets. Us two kids (my brother hadn't joined the family yet ;) ) were then told that "tomorrow we're going to Disney World!" definitely better than "we're gonna go visit Dick in 2 months!" followed by "We're in NC ona layover and surprise we're going to Disney World and not Dick's!"

If you want the kids to celebrate your change of plans... you gotta make the first destination undesirable.

Re: Unexpected Reactions
I may have mentioned this before,(or was it over at board X ?),Years ago we told our kids and my oldest son's friend we were going fishing for 3 days. The morning of departure,I handed them tickets for Disneyland. Everyone freaked out except my youngest son,he got pissed,he wanted to go fishing.

Re: Unexpected Reactions
We had driven to Palm Springs for a few days and our next stop was Disneyland. We hadn't told the kids we were going. On the drive to Anaheim all three kids had gone to sleep so when we pulled into the generic Residence Inn they had no idea where we were.
They didn't find out until the next morning when they got the first sight of the park from the hotel bus. Talk about a surprise.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Unexpected Reactions
My 7 year old was furious at us last December over a surprise trip. We left right from school on a Thursday and headed to the airport. We told her we were going to a party, but not where. She got more and more upset at us until we had to fill her in at the airport on our plans. I presented her with the party map (thanks to the kind Cm here who shall remain unnamed) .When she found out we were on our way to Mickeys Very Merry Christmas party, she was loughs that we didn't tell her beforehand. It took a couple of days for her to cool off! She wad upset that she had not been able to tell her friends she was going to be away, and they had made plans for something at recess 
I had expected most kids would rather go to WDW than have recess at school !

Re: Unexpected Reactions
Honestly I would have been pretty cheesed off as a kid if I was taken on a surprise trip and not informed until after we left home. If I was only supposed to be away from home for a few hours, and then found out I wasn't going to see home for a few days, it would have been very upsetting, regardless of where we were going.
