How to Tell Your Kids You’re Going to Disneyland (The Fun Way)

You know that feeling when you finally book the Disneyland trip? You’ve been planning it for weeks, comparing dates, refreshing your budget spreadsheet… and now the hardest part isn’t the planning at all. It’s keeping the secret. 🤐

Because here’s the thing, you get exactly ONE chance to tell your kids they’re going to Disneyland. And blurting it out over chicken nuggets at the dinner table? Your future self will wish you’d done something more.

That’s exactly why I made the Disneyland Trip Reveal Ticket + Custom Countdown Bundle.

What’s Inside the Bundle

This is a two-piece set, and the two pieces are better together:

The reveal ticket. A castle-style trip reveal ticket you personalize with your kid’s name and your travel dates. You hand it over, they read it, and then you get to watch their face as it clicks. That moment is the whole point. Keep the ticket afterward, it’s a scrapbook keepsake from the day they found out.

The countdown printable. A matching 8×10 countdown that’s intentionally left blank. Pop it in a standard frame, set a dry erase marker next to it, and every single morning your kids get to wipe off yesterday’s number and write in a new one. It becomes a little family ritual, and if you’ve ever fielded 47 “how many more days?” questions, this answers all of them. ✨

Why I Made It This Way

Both pieces are editable Canva templates, and you only need the free version of Canva. No Canva Pro, no design skills, no fighting with fonts.

Here’s the whole process: purchase, download, open in Canva, type in your child’s name and dates, and print at home on cardstock. Fifteen minutes, start to finish. You could book the trip at naptime and have the reveal ready before dinner.

And because it’s an instant digital download, there’s no waiting on shipping when you’re bursting to tell them.

When to Do the Reveal

There’s no wrong time, but here are the moments I see families love most:

Christmas morning. Tuck the ticket into a stocking or wrap it as the very last gift. A Disneyland trip reveal under the tree is the gift that beats every toy. And if you’re looking for a Christmas-specific ticket design, I’ve got you covered!

Birthdays. The ticket becomes the “big present” and the countdown keeps the birthday excitement going for weeks after the cake is gone.

Random Tuesday. Sometimes you just can’t wait. Hand it over at breakfast and let the whole house lose its mind before school. Those are honestly my favorite reveal stories.

However you do it, the countdown starts working immediately. Every morning between the reveal and the trip becomes a tiny celebration.

A Little Behind-the-Scenes

I’m a working Disney travel agent. I’ve planned Disneyland trips for 50+ families, and Best Day Ever By Britt is a Star Seller shop with 1,200+ sales and a 4.9-star average. I know what makes a reveal work, because I’ve planned the actual trips behind them. This bundle is the reveal I’ve used for my own kids.
