By telling her we are going to the coast she will pack warm clothes, sandals etc. I plan on telling her the night we pick her up at her house. I am going to wrap up a shirt, mickey ears and her DL pass and make her open it. I wanted to drive to the airport and not tell her, but seeing as shes not a child she may be upset i didnt give her a little notice. I also have a countdown on my fridge. It's a tinkerbell whiteboard. I drew a castle lol and it says "Days until Disneyland"

This is really where the birth of the Tink-Mobile began...Driving to Disneyland..
