We decided to tell the kids by having a Mickey Mouse dinner. My mom picked the kids up from school so that we could have plenty of time to prepare.
On the menu:
-An apple with two orange gummies for the "Mickey ears."
-Red peppers with two mushrooms for the "Mickey ears."
-Pizza with pepperoni and olives. (I tried to strategically place the olives on the pepperoni to make......you guessed it -Mickey ears! :))
Then we had Mickey Mouse Oreos for dessert!
The plates were also placed on the table to look like Mickey Mouse. The kids loved it!
When the kids first arrived, we had them do the following puzzle:

Obviously, if you put the correct letters under the correct symbols, it spells out "We are going to Disneyland!" So fun!
We also gave each of them a Mickey Mouse water thermos, as well as Mickey Mouse coloring books.
