We’re all planning a surprise birthday party

We’re all planning a surprise birthday party

When I study English with an English program, I saw the sentence and I was wondering what the difference between plan on it and plan it?

1) We’re all planning a surprise birthday party.
2) We’re all planning on a surprise birthday party.

When do you use plan on something and plan something? Is there a meaning difference between the two phrases?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.
