Disney Social Media Moms Conference Day 1

March 3, 2010 by Jennifer 5 Comments

For a week in February, we decided to leave all the snow behind and head for Sunny Florida. Over the next few days, I am going to do a daily recap of our time at the conference. Let me just say that Disney went way out of their way to make this such a grand time for everyone and including all our families in on the fun.

Day 1:

We checked into the super fabulous Polynesian Resort where we were greeted with such superb Customer Service. As soon as we dropped off all our luggage, we wasted no time in heading straight to the parks. I do have to say this was our first time staying on-site and it was nice to just park your car and take the Monorail or the Bus to all the parks.

Our first park we headed to was the Animal Kingdom. I will go ahead and tell you my youngest daughter L is not a fan of all the Disney characters. She is very afraid of people dressed up and wants no part in seeing them, so we made the decision to let her go see the Animals first!

As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted with the animals. L was loving this Disney park. She is a huge animal lover and we just had to stop and see all the animals.

Unfortunately, since we had never been to Animal Kingdom, we didn’t realize Safari was the place to see many more animals, so we made a trip back to Animal Kingdom on our last day. (More to come about the Safari on the last day recap)

As I was hanging out with L, hubby would make sure to make all the stops for the Greet and Meet Characters with M. Just a note of advice… Make sure to let your little one have an autograph book with them in the parks (you can even just purchase a small notebook for them) so they can have all the Characters autograph. M was loving all the autographs with each of the characters.

L was over the moon happy with just having her Lil Tinkerbell Baby to carry in her arms throughout the park.

After spending all day at Animal Kingdom, we headed back for a night of fun at ESPN Worldwide of Sports.

This venue was huge and so awesome to be able to take in the sights while no one was there :).

As the moms were attending a Press Conference, all the families were out on the field having a great time partaking in all the sports events.

Back in the Press Conference, the Social Media Moms, were getting a look into all the awesome upcomings Disney is bringing forth for everyone. One of the new adventures is the Disney Dream Cruise that is coming in 2011. I knew I wanted to take a Disney Cruise before, but now I really WANT to make it happen for my family after seeing all they are going to offer for families.

Also, one of the key features of the Disney Cruise is the AquaDuck water coaster. Just watch and see how cool this new water coaster is:

And yet another great feature coming back is the Disney Electrical Parade in Magic Kingdom this Summer. We were able to experience the Electrical Parade when we were at Disney this past Christmas. It was so neat and the girls were just in awe during the whole parade seeing all the floats lit up and the people in the parade all lit up. Definitely a must see when you are at the parks. Here are some photos from our time at Christmas.

After the Press Conference, we all headed to another venue at the ESPN Worldwide of Sports to have dinner and let the kids enjoy a dance party with all the beloved Characters. L was just fine sitting with her mommy the whole time, but M really got up on stage and had the time of her life dancing her little heart out. They even were entertained by the High School Musical Cast.

It really was an awesome way to end the evening. Big KUDOS to ESPN Worldwide of Sports for hosting us and show what true family entertainment is all about!

PS: Keeping it real here at One Moms World. I was apart of the Disney Social Media Moms Conference in which we did get reduced hotel and was given tickets as well some dinners provided. They in no way had us post about our time during the Conference. I wanted to from my own mind and heart and will be expressing my opinions about Disney over the course of this week :).

Childhood Favorite Toy is Coming Back Giveaway

March 1, 2010 by Jennifer 3 Comments

Growing up, I had special toys in my life that I will always have such fond memories. One of those toys was the Rainbow Brite doll. She went everywhere with me, would eat dinner with us, ride on my bicycle and sleep with me each night. I was so thrilled to hear that Rainbow Brite was coming back. I for sure will be getting my girls their own doll so they will be able to make special memories.

With her cheerful look and personality, Rainbow Brite has blasted back onto the doll scene with a vibrant makeover, continuing to delight children with her empowering and imaginative adventures as she spreads her positive messages of courage, kindness, and hope.

Rainbow Brite even has their own website where your little girl can watch videos, play games, do downloads, and even print out coloring books. There is so many things online now that I am not fond of at all letting the girls see or play, so it has been wonderful to have a site the girls can go to that can be trusted. I love playing with the girls on the site and their CD as it just brings back so many wonderful great memories for me. I now get to create special memories with my girls.

I have 5 Rainbow Brite Adventure Pack CD’s to share with my readers. The CD includes Rainbow Brite animations, games, puzzles, songs, and so much more. Your little girl will enjoy the whole CD so much. Just please leave a comment below on what your favorite childhood toy was and I will pick 5 random comments to send them one of the CD’s.

Songs from the Heart Celtic Woman Giveaway

February 25, 2010 by Jennifer 9 Comments

As most of you all know, I lost my dear Grandmother last week. Music helps heal my heart so much and the Celtic Woman CD could not have came at a better time.

This CD Songs from the Heart motivates you, inspires you, and brings the biggest smile to your face! Every day I will get in my husband’s car (since he is the one with the CD player in his vehicle) and I will pop in the CD and turn it up so loud and go straight to track number 5 When You Believe. I will sing so loud and it just empowers me to get through the day. Each singer really has such a powerful voice that makes the music so unique and really inspiring to you.The Celtic Woman features vocalists Lisa Kelly, Chloe Agnew, Lynn Hilary and Alex Sharpe, with violinist Mairead Nesbitt.

Another song I have to listen to is track number 2 Amazing Grace as this was my Grandma’s favorite song and it helps me feel so close to her while it is playing. The instrumentals and vocalists behind this song is just so amazing to hear!

The CD includes 15 songs:

1. Fields Of Gold
2. Amazing Grace
3. Níl Sé’n Lá
4. My Lagan Love
5. When You Believe
6. The New Ground
7. Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears
8. The Coast Of Galiçia
9. Non C’è Più
10. The Moon’s A Harsh Mistress
11. You’ll Be In My Heart
12. Goodnight My Angel
13. Galway Bay
14. The Lost Rose Fantasia
15. O, America!

You will recognize song titles like Sting’s Fields of God and Mariah Carey’s When You Believe. All the songs move seamlessly between Irish classics, contemporary covers and original compositions.

Celtic Woman is currently on tour now including dates at Radio City Music Hall. The group is all over the Billboard charts, selling more than 3.8 million records in the U.S. alone, and has had 7 sold-out US Tours. They have performed on Dancing with the Starts and have an upcoming PBS Special.

I would love to share a CD Gift pack with one of my readers. It includes an 18-month desktop calendar, heart charm keepsake and VIP access to a virtual Celtic Woman community. All you need to do is leave a comment below on why you would love to win by March 4 at 11:59pm EST and I will select a winner on March 5th.
