I'll plan for it and see how long I can make it. 
Can't decide if I want this trip to be a surprise. I know I will at least wait till late next year before I tell my kids otherwise they will just drive us nuts. (Are we going to Disney tomorrow???) However I don't know if I would be able to keep it a surprise when we get closer cause I will be doing the happy dance around the house all the time.
The tough thing is that it is not just me and my DH to keep the surprise. My 2 nieces are going (14 and 8) and they both already know cause this trip was planned because my niece wanted so badly to celebrate her 16th birthday at Disney. So they know, my mom and dad are both going and my mom loves to talk about it. My brother is going to but he lives in FL so the kids don't see him as much. I can tell everyone not to talk about the trip in front of my kids but we have just over 14 months of time here. 
I know, I watch the beginning of the planning video when they show all the parents surprising their kids and it always makes me tear up seeing those happy, excited little faces.
At least my kids are 7 and 5 and maybe I can make them think we are going later if anyone talks about it. I am thinking mostly it will be my 8 year old niece that will be the toughest, the closer we get the more excited she will get and she is going to want to talk to my DD all about it.
Just have to see what I can do.

And my boss has forbid me from talking about it at work. My oldest son told me he'd rather know about the trip than have it be a surprise...but I don't know if he can keep a secret. lol I guess we'll see. By Jan 2014 he will be 16 already! 
Maybe we can make some plan and tell them we are going when you come visit for Jack's birthday next year. Have to see how it goes. 
That's why you have to love the disboards. You can talk to all the other people who feel just like you do, and have the same level of excitement even 14 months out that you do.
Count me in!!! We will be going this January for the half marathon and have already planned on going again in 2014!! We will be getting annual passes in 2014 due to the amount of disney races we will be doing! Im not sure which resort yet but we usually stay at POR Riverside. I excited to get to know a group of people that love disney as much as I do!!!
Welcome!! But I can't. lol
Count me in!! I was so excited to find this thread! My DH and I are planning our very first trip EVER for both of us and our DD in January 2014, probably from 8th to the 14th. It's going to be a surprise birthday trip for DD who will be turning 6 on the 10th (CRT and bibbidi bobbidi boutique b-day night!) So this is great because we need somewhere to talk Disney without our daughter catching on! We are thinking AofA Little Mermaid room, with free dining (fingers crossed!) so so so happy to be in on this thread this early and not being the only nuts out there that like to plan this early! DH's on the Dis is CrazyforStitch, I'm sure you'll see him around here soon too
Love that you are going to be surprising your DD that will be so much fun!!! Not a big deal!! For now I come here for my daily Disney fix while I count down the days till we get to go back.
