We finally shared our big Disney Cruise news with Maddox and Alex on Christmas Eve. We had been keeping their Christmas present a secret for 11 long months. Because the best gifts don't always fit under the tree, we sent the boys searching for clues around our home that ultimately led them to their surprise — a four-night Disney Cruise to Nassau and Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island). Everyone enjoyed the thrill of the hunt!
Clue #1
Here is the first of many clues, work together and you can’t lose. Start by searching where Maddox takes a snooze.
Clue #2
You found it! You’re smart it’s true, now go to Maddox’s desk and look under something that is blue.
Clue #3
Head upstairs you two! The next clue is where we sit back, relax and enjoy the view.
Clue #4
What does Alex put in his backpack? It’s a clue this time, not a snack!
Clue #5
Almost done, the end isn’t far. The next clue is in the trunk of Dad’s car.
Clue #6
A suitcase? Is there a trip soon? Look next where you get a spoon.
Clue #7
Oh boy, what do you think? The final clue is in the room opposite your bathroom sink.
Clue #8
We knew that you couldn’t lose! The Andreen boys set sail in 2 weeks on a Disney Cruise!
It was a memorable moment when the boys read the last clue announcing our trip. The surprise also included letter balloons that spelled out "Disney Cruise," goodie bags, and our Elf on the Shelf, Clyde, who was wearing a must-have accessory for any Disney trip: Mickey Mouse ears.
So, what was inside the goodie bags?
Disney Tote Bags, Dollar Tree — $1.00
Kids Trip Passport, Letterfolk — $10.00
Mickey Mouse Sunglasses, Target (sold-out)
Mickey Mouse Flip Flops, Target (sold-out)
Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck Kohl's Cares Plush, Kohl's — $5.00
Mickey Mouse Candy: Target (sold-out)
The magic continued later that evening when we received a character call from Mickey Mouse himself. He told the boys he couldn’t wait to see them aboard the ship. FYI: Disney Cruise character calls can be scheduled in advance online.
Well, our first adventure of 2019 awaits! I look forward to sharing all of our fun in the sun when we return. Sea ya real soon, Mickey!
