    I'd love some advice. My girls (4 and 7) will be getting up super early to make our flight to Disney World. Should I spring the trip on them so they get their sleep the night before, or enjoy counting down days and suffer a late night? I'm torn.

    Thanks for visiting the Moms Panel with your great question, Jill! Based on my own personal experience, I would recommend surprising your children the morning you leave allowing them a good night's sleep. I have surprised my children with many Walt DIsney World vacations over the years. I can honestly say that surprising the kids has been a lot of fun for my husband and me, but especially fun for my four children. My fourteen year old actually asks us now to surprise her because she has had so many magical memories over the years of being surprised that she actually prefers the element of surprise over being able to count down the days to our next trip. I have also found that on planned trips to the "Most Magical Place on Earth" that my children have struggled with going to sleep the night before due to anticipation. I hope this helps in making your decision. Please feel free to visit me again with any additional questions. Best wishes for a magical trip, Jill!
    Happy Planning,
    Jodie
