Its me again :p
I was just wondering if anyone had some good ideas for a surprise for my 25 year old boyfriend. (We're going disney this september)
I've had a search through the forums and have found these :
Gifts of a lifetime
Disney florist
The speedway experience
Casino Cruise
Quicksilver limo hire
Anyone got any other ideas?? Or opinions on the things mentioned above??
Thankyou for any help :D

Last May I wanted to surprise my then-bf with something. I booked the Keys to the Kingdom tour with a limo picking us up at POFQ and it brought us to the GF where we grabbed the monorail to MK. I then PSed Ohana for dinner. It was a wonderful day

We were at WDW last month and as a surprise for DH, I hired a limo for the day with Quicksilver - well worth it in my opinion. Service was second to none and Jim, our driver was a fantastic guy. We felt really special :D
I also booked DH in for the Rookie experience at the WDW speedway as a surprise. He had a great time but I think if he had known about it beforehand, he may have been more prepared for the day. They put you in a strange car, strange controls, and you're off :lol: I think he was a little nervous at first. He would however. like to do it again. :thumbs:
I also made enquiries with Gifts of a Lifetime - I didn't take them up on the few ideas they had. I was under the impression that they planned your surprise around 'you' - they seem to have about four ideas and I didn't fancy any of them :shrug: They may suit something you have in mind though! They are, in my opinion, very expensive for what you receive in return too.
Just let me know if you would like any more info :)

That sounds like a nice idea - I've been reading about all these different tours and got a bit muddled as there were so many different ones!! :wacko:
I could maybe plan a tour for during the day and maybe book a limo to take us for a meal somewhere on international drive or something like that :)
I'm going to try and make a list of the tours that are available and decide which one he'd like best. I think they do some for sea world aswell - I know he's really looking forward to seeing the shamu and dolphin shows there :thumbs:

How about..............going without him! That'd be a surprise! :wink:
Only joking. :hehe:
I had some gifts delivered to our room for the children from Gifts of a Lifetime once. That was a nice surprise.
A stretch Limo to a nice restaurant?

Keys to the Kingdom is at MK and an awesome tour. It takes you both "onstage" and "offstage" and you learn SO much about MK. It's about 5 hours and lunch is included

Wow, bet your hubby felt totally spoiled & loved after doing all that for him!!
Book another trip and he can return the favour :wink: :D
I was a little worried about the price of gifts of a lifetime - I guess it depends on what they do for you really :shrug: The treasure hunt thing sounds fun and he'd enjoy it - maybe I could plan one and do it myself somehow :unsure:
Thankyou for the info about quicksilver, I'll definately use them if I opt for a limo somewhere. Decisions decisions :lol: :hehe:
He loves cars and driving fast, so the speedway would be great - Im just worried about travel insurance covering that type of thing??

How about Discovery Cove? Would he like to swim with the dolphins? My DH did it in 2003 and loved every minute of it.

I was going to suggest this too. If your budget can stretch to it, this would be a great day for a dolphin lover. :thumbs:
