    My Hubby & I are surprising our 6 y/o Son w/ a trip to Disney & we don’t plan on telling him until we’re IN the airport (he thinks we’re dropping his Dad off). So I was wondering if someone could pls help me with a reveal poem?

    Hey there, Kristen! Welcome to planDisney. 

    That sounds like such a fun way to surprise your kiddo! I’m not exactly an X Atencio (writer of “Grim Grinning Ghosts” and “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me”), but I’d be thrilled to help with your big reveal. 

    Since your son is 6 years old, and you’ll be in an airport, I thought I’d keep things short and sweet. 

    Get ready for magic! Get ready for fun! 
    We’re not going home, our vacation’s begun. 

    You’ll see castles and pirates and lands far away. 
    Join Mickey and friends for the funnest of days.

    There’ll be fireworks, rides, and new friends to meet.
    Tasty snacks and so many treats! 

    We’re going to Disney World! You didn’t mishear. 
    It’s totally fine to let out a cheer. 


    [Probably pause for excited cheering] 

    Hop aboard, and we’re off to this happy place. 
    We can’t wait to see big smiles on your face. 

    I hope this poem helps kick off your awesome vacation, Kristen! I’m sure you’ve got your vacation itinerary figured out already, but if you need any additional info, be sure to take a look at the planDisney video library and the Disney Parks Blog. The Disney Parks Blog will be your best source for updates and news, as well as Foodie Guides for the delicious snacks and treats I mentioned in the poem. 

    Have an awesome time at the Vacation Kingdom of the World, and come right back to planDisney if you have any other questions. 

    Magical travels!
