I'm lucky that my family doesn't read this board.. that means I can tell you my secret.
We are planning the largest family vacation to Disneyland ever. It pales in comparison to some of you, but the players are Myself, my wife and my son. My daughter and her fiance. My dad and his fiance.
So here's the deal. We all wanted to go to Disneyland together so we found a date that worked for us and set about getting our reservations and tickets. My dad and his lovely lady are flying down on Monday evening, June 25th and staying at the Grand Californian.
I handled the reservations for my party of 3 plus my daughter's party of 2. I got good airfare from Aloha Airlines and after some research I made reservations at the Park Place Inn, announced the prices and my daughter is paying for her travel and lodging by giving us monthly payments..
Well.......
What my wife, son, daughter and her fiance don't know is that I've secretly upgraded our vacation. We're not staying at the Park Place Inn - we're going to also stay at the Grand Californian - and as an added bonus, I've arranged for a stretch Lincoln limousine to pick us up at John Wayne Airport. My wife has always wanted to ride in one.
I told the limo company that I'm going to ask the driver to take us to the Park Place Inn, but really he'll take us to GCH. My dad and his fiance will meet us when we arrive.
I will also spring for Goofy's Kitchen for all of us (don't know if it'll be breakfast or dinner) and my Dad wants to take us all out one night too.. maybe Napa Rose or Storytellers.. not sure yet.
I'm excited already.
