    Hi Mary Jane!

    I heard a great idea on the PassPorter Mom's Podcast and I'm going to steal it in my answer to you.  Sarah on the podcast suggested putting helium filled balloons in a large box with a note or banner tied to them that basically says "You're going to Walt Disney World".  Be sure to tie the balloons and put a weight on the bottom so they don't float off!  You then put all of the balloons in a large box, wrap it, and put a bow on top.  When the box is opened, the balloons will pop out with the sign!

    The other idea is to not tell them; just tell them they are going on a trip, but keep it a mystery as long as possible.  I've heard of people who made it all the way to Walt Disney World in their car before their children found out; others were successful in getting them to the airport and even on a plane before the kids figured it out!

    Good luck and enjoy planning your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
