Surprise Trip for Kiddo

We have done a few trips for the kiddos birthday.  This year he just assumed we would be going to Disneyland.  We told him sorry buddy, but not this year.

Well we have a whole plan with my really good friend to take him and her kids to Disneyland to celebrate his birthday.  We met up last night to go over how we are going to surprise them and we are really excited.  Her kids have been to Disney World once, but never to Disneyland.  So none of them know.  

Normally my kiddo and I go to Disneyland for Mothers Day but because we did the Star Wars 1/2 in January I didn't want to pull him out of school for an more days so we are skipping the Mothers Day Trip.   My kiddos birthday is August 27th so him and I are going to head to Disneyland on the 23rd just the two of us and then hubby and the friends will join us on 26th and we will spend a few days together.  So you will see a lot of blog posts coming up about our planning and then our trip.

So back to last night....We had so much fun planning it out all.  We are going to stay at Paradise Pier for just the two of us and then we will move to the Disneland Hotel.  The friends are staying offsite because they don't really think they will use the benefits of the hotel much at all.

So we are trying to decide on how we are going to tell them.  Right now it's between a scavenger hunt for puzzle pieces that they would put together together or big poster board color coded with words on it that they would have to put together.  We are hoping to tell them in 2 - 3 weeks.  I am so excited.  The only time we have surprised kiddo is when we went to Disneyland Paris and it was so AMAZING.  He had no idea.

 For kiddos birthday dinner we are going to try to book the Fantasmic Dinner package again at the Blue Bayou for all of us.  I have never done it for more than 3 people so we will see how it goes for 7 people lol.  We will also probably do a birthday cake at the restaurant for his birthday.  We did that one year but it was so HUGE.  We had to share with two table around us and then we had to give the rest to the staff :)  My friend has a daughter and I am so exited to do the girly princess stuff with them.  I already have bought her a few outfits because I can't help myself.  We are planning on sending the boys off together to go do all the fun boy things and then the three girls are going to go to the Bippity Boppity Boutique and then go meet the princesses :)

It is going to be so much fun.  I can't wait to tell them.
