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 !
My parents did something similar to me for my birthday one year. They picked me up from school, blindfolded me, and took me to the airport and had me guessing until I knew where we were(on the drive there, it was pretty clear once we got there). I was then told that we were going to Sea World San Diego. I was happy about going, but I wasn't happy that I didn't have a chance to pack what I wanted and so had nothing to do in the downtime such as on the plane.

My son surprised us last week by joining us on our 3-day Disney cruise. We were in the terminal waiting to board the ship when he showed up with two of his sons. Surprised the heck out of me! We had his wife and one son with us as planned, but he decided to get his own reservation since none of them had been on a cruise before. My first thought was, "Oh good, the whole family is here." My second thought was, "I wasted all those Disney Vacation Club points on a 2-bedroom savanna view villa at Kidani for 3 nights while we're all away on a cruise!"
