We're going to Disney World!

So, it's final! We're going to Disney World!!!!

We told the kids this morning...it was fun and odd...

I gathered up some of their little Disney characters and put them in a Cars gift bag we had. Then we brought them in the living room and told them that in the bag there were clues about their "surprise." They each took turns taking out one of the characters...there was Snow White, Woody, Cinderella, Piglet, etc...
We asked "Do you know what your surprise might be?"
Blank looks....
"Well, where do you think we might go to see these characters?"
Katie's eyes got HUGE and she shouted "DISNEY! WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!!!!"
She ran around and started jumping up and down! It was great!

Well...Noah...Noah is another story. He was sitting by me on the couch. He shrank down next to me....his eyes WELLED up with tears and he said very quietly "I don't want to go there."

HUGE letdown here!

"Noah....why don't you want to go?"

He said, "I just don't want to go."

Here is the difference....Katie went to three year old pre-k and has heard all the ins and outs of Disney World. On the other hand, I don't think Noah has ever heard of the place. We have avoided every talking about it really because we wanted to wait until we were actually GOING before bringing it up.

We told Noah about seeing Lightening McQueen, Woody, Captain Jack Sparrow.....he was softening a little. I said we will go on a safari, which he REALLY thought was cool. Then we told them that we were getting a place with a Mickey Mouse room for them to sleep in, and it has a BIG playground. Now THAT was what he wanted to hear: a big playground.

Here's the place we've reserved...it is so cool! And such a bargain!

So, we're going to Disney, and Katie is thrilled. Noah wants to see the big playground. Maybe he will enjoy it after all :)

More updates to come. 15 days to go!
