Is Surprising Someone With A Trip To Florida A Good Idea?

A trip to Florida is something that will put a smile on pretty much everyone’s face that is for sure but is surprising someone just a few days before really a good idea or is it something that is perhaps too much for them?

Of course my personal opinion is that as long as someone has also managed to book the time off work for me I would jump at the chance of someone telling me that I am off to Florida in just a few days but also would be a bit stressed as well because there are a number of things that need to be sorted before I could even get on the plane. This seems to be the biggest reason why a surprise like this one is not a good idea.

There are forms which have to be filled in, visas that you have to apply for online and get checked and then you have to tell the airline almost everything about where you are staying in the state and what you are going to be up to. You then have to think about packing your bag and buying all of the things you are going to need for the trip which will not come cheap. On top of this you are going to have to change your money up into spending money which of course results in even higher costs.

So by the looks of things so far a surprise trip to the theme parks in Orlando is completely out of question right? Well that is where you are wrong.

The Kids Love Surprises

When it comes to booking a surprise trip it may be a bad idea for adults but what do the kids actually need to worry about? You are filling out all of their forms, providing them with spending money and packing their suitcases for them. You could tell them you are going away on holiday but leave the Disney surprise until you get there. If it is the kids first time to Disney they are not going to know what to expect and the smile put on their faces when you arrive in the Magic Kingdom (always choose this one first when you have kids) is going to be one of the best sights you are going to ever experience as a parent.

So although not all surprises are a good one if you are giving the surprise of Florida to a nut like me or a child you are certainly going to be getting praises for a good number of months!
