I'm so excited I can't sleep! Leaving for Disneyland in 15 hours! I told my kids we are visiting family in San Diego. Any ideas how and when I should tell the kids the truth?
or when you park! - PrinceTeaJack 786.3 #120 6-13-12 7:20AM
We did that. Just showed up and even when we got there she didn't know. We stayed at the GCH so she didn't recognize it. The bell boy had to tell her while he was unloading our luggage. She was 4 - katiesarahmommy205.1 #1553 6-13-12 11:17AMLike(1) Reply
When you get on your third attraction say, "Guess what kids, we're going to Disneyland!" - Mouse4life1085.8 #78 6-13-12 11:24AMLike(1) Reply

How old are they? If they are old enough to understand i would just show up. If smaller maybe make a fun magical story about going to visit the princesses and other Characters. - dimplesdanie607.5 #179 6-13-12 6:40AMLike Reply
They are 2 and 4. They know what Disneyland looks like from pictures so I might just drive by it and then stop at Downtown Disney and tell them there. - BriarBeauty 61.0 #3570 6-13-12 7:51AM
We did this with my son last year and it kinda back fired on us, my son is the type that likes to know what's going on and has a lil bit of nervous personality so it was very overwhelming for him. - dadcanevari31.0 #4334 6-13-12 7:00AMLike Reply
I would tell them because there is nothing like a few hours of, "are we there yet?" - butternard26.1 #4588 6-13-12 7:05AMLike Reply

We surprised our kids one time. We took a taxi from the airport (told driver what was up) to hotel. As we drove by the parks they figure out where we were, and we got it all on video! A memory they love to watch. It still tears me up every time! - Roto244.4 #1061 6-13-12 7:47AMLike Reply
