| 92.1 | Preperation and Anticipation | INDMKT::GOLDBERG | Len Goldberg | Thu May 04 1989 12:52 | 30 |
| I've told my four year twins old about our trip in November. Almost
every day we look through the brochures, at pictures of Mickey, his
house, the Magic Kingdom, etc. They can even tell the difference
between Cinderella's Castle and Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
It is important for small kids especially to be prepared for new
adventures, to know what to expect. We talk about the plane ride,
about how we are going to Grandma's first for a day, how we will
drive to WDW in a rented car and that it will take all morning,
and that the baby will stay with Grandma and Grandpa while we go
to WDW.
We discuss where we will be staying, and look at pictures of the
trailer houses and maps of where FW is and where the MK and Epcot
Center is. They even now refer to the T in Boston as the monorail.
For me the anticipation is one of the best parts of the trip. The boys
aren't quite sure what to expect at WDW, (neither was I the first time
I went), but they know Daddy is excited about the trip so it must be
good :-) I just hope I'm not over setting expectations, but with
Disney that's hard.

Oh, a funny story:
A few weeks ago we were watching the news on TV and they were showing
some golf scores. The graphic behind the scores was a blowup of
a golf ball next to a hole. Noah pointed at the screen and said,
"Look Dad, Epracot Center!"

| Len,
I did the same as you when my boy was 3 and 5 for our '82 and '84
trips.
However I was referring to school age kids, and since he had already
been there twice and was asking on the average 'When are we going again
dad?' about every other week, and since he was having some problems
with his school work I decided to keep telling him in about three years
since that was what the wife and I decided before seeing the Captain Eo
special ( Hey it's about 3 years now ;^))
I known others to do the same for their school aged kids, telling them
at the last possible moment, so that the Disney magic wouldn't distract
from school, as well as others who told them at the time of making the
reservations.
What do other people do when they have a child in grade school?

| I told my niece and nephew four years ago that I would take
them this summer. Since they've never been, they don't really
now what to expect.
I started counting the days at 100. I told them only 100 days
and the expression on their faces was "Your crazy auntie to be
that excited since it's still a long ways off."
Now, when I tell them the number of weeks, my niece's eyes get
really big (she is 8 1/2). When I tell her the number of days,
she isn't near as interested - but then 7 is smaller than 48.
My nephew still can't comprehend the time very well. He's more
excited about school getting out.

| We're generally in Florida each winter so its not too big a suprise
to our kids that we're going. We were goig to skip a few years
this time, but you *know* how this file effect people!
What we do is start a big jar in the living room for coins. all
spare coins go in + some big bills. On the jar we tape pictures
of Mickey and WDW. Just before we leave we emply the jar and
the extra bonus buys us a few unexpected extras and gives us something
to do each day while wating.

I told them right away also, We bought books on WDW and studied
as much as we could the first time we went I read so much about
it When we got there I knew pretty much what was going on. We always
include the kids when we plan our trips. The first time we went
in April 1985 they were 6� and 8� and in October 1987 they were
8 and 10. We are going this June on the way back from the Florida
Keys. Yeah they get excited and find it hard to think about anything
else but then why should my wife and I be the only ones, that half
the fun.
We wern't going to stop at WDW this trip but after all the talk
in this note file we just have to see the MGM Theme Park.
43 days and counting.

| I had sort of a different situation recently. I had to tell my
PARENTS that my girlfriend and I had booked a trip to Disney World.
I got QUITE a reaction. But they've calmed down since.
Oh, you're all thinking that they didn't approve, but actually
they were real excited, and started makeing rumblings about booking
a trip at the same time we were. I quickly decided to put those
thoughts to rest..

| My parents also live in Florida so my 7 year old son is used to
going to Disney once a year. We were there between Chrismas and
New Years and are going back again in August. This time for a week
at the Disney Inn. We wanted to be able to do Typhoon Lagoon &
MGM but more so to spend some time swimming and maybe playing some
golf. In the winter we really can't swim my son really hasn't had
the opportunity to do the water activities which we're really looking
forward to doing (that's why we picked nice hot August to go).
We really wanted to stay in the Poly but couldn't get in for a week,
so I'm going to call every week and possibly we'll get a cancellation.
Were going on the MKC package deal, and we also are going on frequent
flyer milage. I don't think you need a car at all, if you need
one for the day, rent it at the car care center. We don't intend
to rent one until our 7 days is over and we need one to go and visit
the parents for a few days.
I love your idea about the jar Ed, I think I'll start one of those
tonight.

| My parents used to tell us after they'd made the reservations and every-
thing was definitely on. Then we'd count down on the calendar (as others
have suggested here).
The one thing that was a big difference with us (myself and two younger
brothers) was that we usually went during school (but never at the same
time of year). Mom would call the principal's office to let them know
and to explain that we'd be requesting work ahead of time. We'd have to
get to our teachers and explain to them and get all of our homework. If
there was going to be a test while we were away, we had to take it ahead
of time - if the teacher agreed - or would take a makeup when we re-
turned (usually after school, but it was worth it). We'd then take what
homework we hadn't done ahead of time along with us (we used to drive
down in a camper and did it along the way to keep us occupied). It
would have to be handed in the first day back in school.
We never had any behavior problems, because we knew Mom and Dad would
cancel the trip immediately if any of us caused grief. And if there
was ever a problem with school grades, we knew we'd never be allowed to
do it again.
Needless to say, there was never a problem! ;-)

| 92.10 | Earning Their Way | INDMKT::GOLDBERG | Len --> �o� & ��� in 79 days | Tue Aug 29 1989 16:41 | 20 |
| We are using a new, (for us), motivational tool at our house in
preparation for our trip to WDW.
We went to the Disney Store a few weeks ago and got a mess of Disney
Dollars. The boys can earn them by picking up their toys and other
chores around the house. Each day they pick up their toys, they get a
sticker that they put on a chart with their name on it. Every time
they collect five stickers, they get one Disney Dollar.
By the time we get to Florida in November they should each have a fist
full to spend on souvenirs, toys, etc. With some luck this will not
only teach them about earning money, and saving for what they want, but
also cut down on some of the nagging for stuff while we are there. If
they want to buy a tee-shirt or hat or something they can. If they've
run out of money already, they have learned a little lesson.
Another benefit is that I've not been tripping over as many little
metal cars as I make my way from the TV to the refrigerator each night.
I'll let you know how it works out.

| 92.14 | How to Tell Them They're Being Left Behind? | FDCV06::GOLDBERG | Len --> �o� & ��� in 182 days | Mon Mar 25 1991 17:13 | 20 |
| In .2 I explained how I felt about telling the family when we are going
to WDW. Here's a harder question I need some help on.
How/when do I tell them that they are NOT going?
Linda and I have planned a trip for just the two of us to the World
next September. Linda's mom will be coming to stay with the three
boys. (Harry and Noah will be 6, Adam 3). We are planning to get
annual passports in Sept., and return with the whole family in August
1992, just before school starts.
As those of you who follow this file know, we've taken the older two
guys to WDW each of the past two years at Thanksgiving time in
November. They regularly start sentences, "Next year when we go to
Disney World..." I have to remind them that their next trip isn't
scheduled until just before they start second grade. It's such a long
time away.
So how do I break the news that Mom and Dad will be going to the best
place on earth, and leaving them home?
|
| 92.15 | Here are some ideas | COEM::SCOPA | I'd rather be in Orlando | Tue Mar 26 1991 11:41 | 25 |
| Len,
Plan A: Tell the boys you are going on a business trip.
Plan B: Tell them that you don't know if the new stuff is fun and you
have to try it out first to make sure that they will like it.
Plan C: Tell them that you need to go down and talk to a lot of people
about WDW in the Summer and that you won't have time to play.
Plan D: Tell them that you won a trip to WDW for 2 and you have to take
it in November.
Plan E: Tell them if they went in November then they would miss school
and would need to make it up the following Summer and would not
be able to go down then.
Plan F: Tell them that you're thinking about moving down there and that
Mom and Dad are going down to look for jobs and to price homes.
Plan G: Tell them that Mom and Dad are going down and will spend most
of their time in the hotel room doing.....erhhh better scratch
that idea.

| Len,
I don't envy the position your in. my suggestion is to lie to them,
tell them your going to some business trip up in Alaska or something,
don't mention Florida and hope they don't find out, or bribe them with
lots of presents come xmass.
Elaine and I thought about not taking Greg on our 15th anniversary trip
next April, except that he'd be a teenager then, that if we didn't take
him and he found out, you'd be seeing the trial of Greg Berube on TV 9
and CNN next spring ;^).

| Actually this brings up an interesting topic. When are the kids too old
to go to WDW with Mom and Dad? I'm thinking once my kids hit High
School age they won't want to tag along.
Cars...boyfriends...girlfriends...jobs...all these things may interfere
with any plans.
I think this is an individual family kind of thing whereby one family
may not have a problem and another family might.
I think Claude may have a point here Len...don't tell them.

| Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys. I don't think we've quite
hit on one yet that will work.
Lying is out. I would feel like a creep, it would undermine everything
we've been trying to teach them about honesty, and besides that they
would find out when I came back with my nose grown out like Pinocchio.
I think we'll just have to emphasize the trip we will ALL be taking in
August '92.
|
| 92.20 | | MAMTS5::JAMES | | Wed Mar 27 1991 12:00 | 8 |

I agree that honesty is the best policy.
Just don't smile and jump up and down too much while your telling
them :-)

| 92.21 | | AAARGH::LOWELL | Grim Grinning Ghosts... | Wed Mar 27 1991 17:59 | 30 |
| Len,
I believe you should tell them the truth. I don't know when I'd
tell them (sometime before the trip at least), but I'd be truthful.
I imagine it might help if you emphasized that this is going to be
a grown up trip (assuming your recent trips were quite kid oriented).
Tell them about all the "boring" grown up things you're going to do:
Pleasure Island
Victoria & Albert's
Empress Lilly
The tiki bird attraction (your boys didn't like this, right?)
The country bear attraction (ditto?)
The hall of presidents
Whatever...
Then focus on all the "fun" kid things you're not going to do:
Dumbo
The race cars
Mickey's Starland
Whatever...
If you're extremely lucky, you'll have them convinced that they
won't want to be there. Not very likely I bet.
After you get through the trauma of breaking the news, you might
want to get them in on the planning and also allow them to make
souvenir suggestions.
Good luck,
Ruth

| Well, we broke the news this past weekend. We waited specifically
until now, as it was the twins' birthday. We correctly assumed that
they would be too wrapped up in the preparations for their party and
all the new presents to get too bothered about Mom and Dad's big
announcement.
We broke the news in stages, (remember the old joke about "Mom's on the
roof?), beginning a couple of weeks ago. When we were all in the car I
asked Linda when her folks would be visiting again. Then I suggested
that maybe they would like to stay with the boys for a few days while
we went away. Linda played her part and said she would ask them when
she spoke to them on Sunday.
There were some objections, but we overcame them. Would they able to
watch their favorite TV shows? (We'll make a list so Grandma knows
what you're allowed to watch.) Who will give us a bath? (You are old
enough to shower by yourselves. We can practice all summer.)
Last weekend on another car trip we started to talk about where we
should on our vacation. Maybe the cape, (the guys liked this idea), or
perhaps Bermuda, how about Florida. We also had to negotiate how long
we would be away. We worked our way up from one day to about five.
(It will actually be about seven, I think). When we got home I made a
show of looking at the calendar, picking a week to go, and saying...
...(sound of big bomb dropping)...
"You know, we could go to Disney World, and then go back the following
August with the whole family."
...(BOOM)...
Linda picked up and, as Ruth suggested in .21, started talking about
all the things we could do that the boys hate. I started singing the
Tiki Room song. They weren't happy, but I think they bought it. They
also made me stop singing.
I'm sure there will be some more fuss as the departure time gets
closer, but they are beginning to accept the idea. Wednesday I told
them I had made reservations, and yesterday they were asking about
where we were going to stay, etc.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll keep you posted.

� Any ideas on how to keep him relatively calm for the next 10 months?
See my suggestion in .10 about letting him earn Disney dollars for the
trip. Convince him that 10 months is just about the right amount of
time to build up a good size war chest.

| 92.26 | Keeps 'em quiet for a bit | VISUAL::SCOPA | I'd rather be in Orlando | Tue Aug 27 1991 17:10 | 8 |

paper attached to our frig via a magnet and had the names of the kids
listed and how many Disney dollars they earned, etc.
It works for awhile.

| OK - We are leaving in 11 days! Yes - I'm tooooooo ready!
My husband and I are going with our 10 year old son.
He does not know about this trip as of yet.
We opted not to tell him till after school got out but now that we've
gone this far, we've decided to wake him the morning of the flight and
say "wake up we're going to WDW!"
I've been getting mixed reactions about this. I hear it's a great idea
from some who like the idea of the surprise. I also hear it's not fair
that he can't anticipate the trip with you from others.
My husband and I are comfortable with our decision and plan to stick
with it.
I was just curious as to what other people here in this file thought
about it.

him asking Why do I need these new cloths for, or why are you packing
the bags etc.
Claude
|
| 92.29 | | MR4DEC::AWILLIAMS | Some imagination, huh?? | Mon Jun 29 1992 17:12 | 15 |
| So Kathy, does this mean that because you haven't mentioned anything to
me about your trip to the Birthday Bash, that I'm coming too?? :-)
I agree with Claude that its be pretty neat to wake up and have someone
tell me, "Let's go, we're going to Disney World!!" Certainly, not
telling him before school ended was a good idea; he would have probably
been distracted as school wound down. As to the "anticipation" issue,
he'll likely remember the surprise of Mom and Dad taking him to Disney
longer than the anticipation of the trip.
But what I want to know is just how you could keep a secret like that
for sooooo long?? It would've driven me nuts long ago.
Have fun,
- Skip

| Kathy,
My feeling is this...you as a parent should know what's best for your
particular child. Some kids need a "carrot" while others don't. Some
children don't particularly like to wait....the excitement of going to
WDW is even greater for some when it's right around the corner while
others like the anticipation and telling their friends.
Do what you think is best....and remember...have that camera ready.

| Thanks for the input. It was very difficult for the first few months
to keep this under wraps. But, as time went by it became second nature
to not talk about it unless he wasn't around. Of course being able to
vent my enthusiasm in this notesfile has helped me out!
Packing won't be a problem. We have an in-law apartment on the house,
so I'm going to hide the bags in my mother's bedroom while I pack the
night before.
Now, getting him to bed early the night before will be a problem. We
have a 6:40AM flight out of Boston - so we'll be up with the chickens!
Thanks Mike, for reminding me about the camera - I hadn't thought of
that.
I can't wait to tell him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| This past year we surprised our two of our children at school, took them out
of school at lunch time and took them to the airport. The teachers were
in on it and everything. Both the children and we thought it was the
greatest way to go. The hardest part about all of it was keeping the
secret for 5 months. This year we are trying the opposite approach and
they are helping in the planning. No definite date arranged yet.

This is great! We're doing the same thing. Our kids are a little
younger, 7, 3 and 4 months (I don't think she really cares one way or
the other, yet :^) and we decided not to tell them because they would
drive us (my wife) crazy. This is the 4th time in about 4 1/2 years
we've been. Last year we went July 2nd (Hey, that's today!) through
the 12th. The boys drove us nuts everyday for 3 months. "When are we
going to Disney, when are we going to Disney..."
We were not going to go this year, but the air fare wars changed
that real quick. It was my wife's idea not to tell them, but then again
she would be the one who would have to listen to it all day. Packing
and hiding the suitcases should be easy. We'll just pack them, put them
back in the basement where they are now, finish packing the night
before and put them in the car. We're not even going to tell them that
morning. Our flight leaves Philly at about 11. We'll get them up and
ready to go, telling them we have some things to do today. When we get
to the airport we're going to tell them we have a surprise. I can't
wait to see the looks on their faces.

| I just couldn't wait!.......
My three kids are all aware that we are going in 75 days, for a 10 day
stay at the CBR.
Recently, I signed on to present at several large customer events in
Central/Southern Florida the second week of March.
What the kids don't know, and WON'T know until we pick them up from
school on March 4th, is that we'll be heading straight to the airport
for an evening flight to Orlando and a long weekend at WDW. The rest
of the family will head back Sunday night, while I stay in Florida to
present at these customer events Monday-Wednesday.
We've never done anything like this before, where the kids were not
informed about what was going on ahead of time. I can't wait to see
their faces only 12 days from now when we give them the following
options: 1) Would you like to go to McDonalds for dinner tonight?, or
2) Would you like to go to WDW, right now? They're already pumped up
thinking that it is only 2 1/2 months until they think they are going,
and it has been two years since the last family trip.
Cheers,
Ken

| Well, If they opt for McDonalds, my wife and I will use an executive
veto, but I like the idea of making it the one on I-drive (or 192).
The on-board McDonald's meal would work too, but this trip is on
USAir, and only United (which we are flying on for the upcoming trip in
May) offers them.
Last night one of my daughters asked how long it would be until we went
to WDW, because she couldn't wait. Before I could answer, her twin
sister answered that it was just over 10 weeks to go (she has been
keeping track diligently). My wife and I looked at each other and
grinned, and then I told her that she would be there "in almost what
seems like hardly any time at all"...

My wife and I discussed how to surprise the kids, 10 and 8 years old.
One idea I came up with was, tell them that I am leaving on a business
trip, having my father drop me off because my wife hates driving into
Boston. We have them come along just to say good bye to Dad. Then my
wife is going to say, `Gee, I wish we could come along'. Being a great
Dad, I'm going to say, `OK, let's go.'
If it works out as well as we imagine, it'll be the surprise of a life-
time.
Now we just have to control ourselves till the middle of Jan.
We leave on 1/19.

| We just got back from Disneyworld saturday night. We told my 2 boys
ages 2.5 and 4.5 that we were going to visit a friend. Both had no idea
where we were going till we were taking the ferry to the Magic world
and they spotted the castle. :-). My 4 year old was jumping up and down
so much he almost fell overboard. :-)
