Surprise Disney Trip Reveal Ideas

Here are 10 easy and really fun way to pull off a surprise Disney trip reveal!

Disney Balloon In a Box

Add balloons to a large box, and let them float up with a sign announcing “Surprise! We’re going to Disneyland!”
When they open the box the balloons float up and the surprise is revealed.
Tip: tape the sign to the side of the box and to the main balloon so it floats up too!

Gift Items They Will Use For the Trip
Grab a few t-shirts, or proactively buy some Mickey ears from the Disney Store. Let them unwrap their new Disney apparel or coloring books for the trip with the surprise Disney trip reveal sign right on top!
We are also huge fans of the Disney rides children’s books that recently came out. You may want to include a bedtime story in their Disney reveal box!

Mickey Mouse Pajamas for Disney Trip
Let Them Guess with some new Micky Pajamas/Shirts
I love surprising my kids with some new pajamas that have their favorite characters. We don’t do a ton of character clothes in our family, so it’s very exciting when not one but a few pairs of character jammies show up! Mickey Mouse pajamas for a Disney trip are always a sign to my kids.
Layout the new items with Disney clothes your kids love. Let them guess what these have in common and why they might need them.
You can put the surprise sign right on top or hide it underneath the clothes.
P.S. We included a few character shirts in our list of What to Wear to Disneyland.
A Musical Surprise
Find three Disney songs you know your family loves. I love using Disneyland Songs played in the park. Zip A Dee Do Dah, It’s a Small World, and A Pirate’s Life for Me always queue my son to Disneyland!
Play the songs and ask your kids what they all have in common. When they guess it let them open a surprise envelope with the big reveal.
A Disney Calendar
Gift a Disney calendar with the date circled and surprise Disney trip written boldly on the dates you’re going. You can tape the printable to the top of the calendar, or place it in the month of your trip for a big surprise!
