We are traveling via plane to Florida actually surprise Nariah with a trip to Disney World. We’ve kept this secret for about 2 months now and I tell you its been quite tough, so tough, we actually focused more on hiding it from her than on how we were actually going to tell her. We did decide that we should probably have the cameras ready when we first get to the airport just in case.

She knows we’re going to her grandparents and cousins in the pan-handle, which is indeed in Florida. Its that “Orlando” portion of this trip that’s gonna be hard to disguise. So we’re using it as a “layover connection”. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. Nariah was awake when we landed and during the welcome to Orlando speech by the flight attendant, Nariah showed us some rationalization I wasn’t sure a 5 year old should have.

“Orlando? We’re in Orlando? Disney World is in Orlando… Since we’re here, can we just stop by disney for a lil bit? I’m not begging or anything, but I’m just saying, since we’re here…”

That was too much for us, but I couldn’t let the surprise to Disney go out like that, so I had to re-iterate that “connecting” flight until further notice. LOL
