I wasn't quite sure how we should surprise Iris that we were going to Disney World. This was mostly because we were going over a month away from the big reveal. I searched high and low on the internet on how to make a child excited about a Disney trip in the future, instead of making them confused or disappointed that they weren't going right away. I wanted to be the mom that woke up Iris and said, 'Pack your bags – we're going to Disney World TODAY!' But our plans just wouldn't have it. A trip to Disney was her big birthday present this year (she's six!), but we are waiting until Thanksgiving break when school is out to go.

During your corporate teambuilding treasure huntyou may see the hidden nooks and crannies of Tom Sawyer Island, a bird's eye view from the top of a treehouse, mysterious wanted posters, a sign for Turkish Baths (in Disney?!!), a variety of little-known historical plaques, a. You may want to include a bedtime story in their Disney reveal box! Disney Themed Scavenger Hunt; Have a Disney Scavenger Hunt My kids are too little for this one just yet, but I plan to do one in the future! It only takes a few clever sayings, sending them around the house to solve a few clues and a big reveal at the end.

Whenever I get home from a work trip, Iris asks me if we can do a scavenger hunt with the souvenirs I brought her. I happened to do this one time (after a particularly long trip where I felt guilty for being away) and she's never forgotten. So while I'm traveling (or sometimes before I've left and happen to think of it at Walmart… shhh!), I gather a few trinkets and pieces of candy to surprise her with. I hide them throughout the house and come up with clever clues to lead her to them. I think she loves this more than the actual treats. So knowing how much she loves this game, I decided to take it to the next level because, well, it's Disney World we're talking about!

After a little help from the internet and a little brainstorming of my own, I sat down and got my clues in order. Since Iris wasn't getting her main birthday present until later on, we thought she deserved to find some fun little prizes the morning of her birthday, all of which were hints about our trip. She opened the first present, which was just a simple poem that informed her about the treasure hunt she was about to partake in. From there, it led her to the first clue (with the first prize), and so on.

Clue #2 came with the first hint: A Minnie Mouse cup full of sweet treats.
I accidentally mixed up the printed clues in this photo and the next one, but you get the idea. Thankfully I realized it before I hid everything!

Clue #3 came with a wooden airplane because we're flying to Orlando.

Clue #4 came with a nightgown for the trip of her favorite Disney princess – Belle!

Clue #5 came with a calendar I found on Amazon,
with the date of our trip marked with question marks.

Clue #6 came with a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt I picked up from Zara when I was in NYC.

Clue #7 came with, what else, Minnie Mouse ears!
(And if you're wondering, Iris had a very hard time picking up on all of these clues.
She still didn't get it – even after getting this hint!)

Well, I couldn't stop there – especially when I found a black light and invisible ink pen in my office. The treasure hunt continues!
(Iris thought this was WAY cool.)

In her playhouse she found a box with a ribbon around it, and when she opened it she found only a safety pin instead of a clue. Looking around, she noticed a ballon and decided (with a little encouraging) to give it a pop.

Inside the balloon was one of the last clues…

And in the mailbox Iris found a package…

Which she put together and read out loud,
'We're going to Disney World!'

After a slight struggle with reading the Disney font, Iris FINALLY got that we were going to Disney World. She was happy, but not over the top excited because, honestly, she doesn't fully understand how big of a deal it is yet. I think the true surprise will be how awesome it is when we get there. We travel so much with her, often taking her along on our grown-up adventures, it will be very special to have a trip that is solely focused around her kind of fun. We leave in just a few day, so check back in to see how it goes!

For now, here's the moment where it finally clicked:

Our family is blessed in that we have been able to go to Walt Disney World almost every other year. 2016 was our last trip where we went with extended family and were able to celebrate birthdays in the magic of Disney. Following that trip, the kids were pretty convinced we wouldn't be back to Disney for a while. Although my husband would probably prefer that, my Disney love, passion and obsession had me itching for another trip. Mid November, I decided that I would try to head down for my birthday in May for a few days. After some discussion, it was decided we would go as a whole family.

Once we decided to make it a family trip, the next decision was how to tell the kids. Since it was the holiday season, we thought we would tie it into their Christmas present. I quickly decided to do a scavenger hunt of some sort as this is becoming a tradition in my family each year. Here is how it worked out.

I first decided that we were going to use Disney and non- Disney themed clues throughout the scavenger hunt. As I am not very creative, nor can I rhyme very well, I used Pinterest and my husband to come up with the following clues. Click here to see.

Example of Letters

With each clue, I then had letters to help spell out 'We Are Going To Disney'. I broke up these letters into the different envelopes. I also make each word a different color in hopes of making it a little easier for them to figure out in the end.

What was in each envelope

Once I had all the clues and the letters printed, I put each of them in an envelope to put around the house. On each envelope, I wrote down where I needed to hide it as well as which kid should read it.

Writing on the back was key

Before heading out for Christmas, I quickly hid the envelopes in their specific spots (super helpful to have the spot written on the envelope already).

Letter to the kids

After a great Christmas with family, the kids were greeted with a letter from us introducing the scavenger hunt.

Loved finding them

They loved finding the clues and running up and down the steps to find them throughout the house. A small tip, I did follow them around and collect the letters as they went in order to make sure the letters didn't get lost along the way.

When it came time to put the clues together, it took a while for them to figure out the words were the same color. Once they figured that out, it was a quick process from there.

We are going to Disney

It was fun to see their different reactions. Our 9 year old didn't believe it and was shocked. Our 7 year old was busy trying to figure out what it said as the clues were out of order. Either way, it was a fun way to tell them about our magical trip. Even though we do go more than some, I still like to make the trip special and unique each time.
