Our Disney World Family Tradition

Posted on May 5, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

Coming back home from a magical week at Disney World has been a tough transition for all of us. Now, we can sit down and look at all of the moments that we captured from this latest adventure to Orlando. There was the pirate party, dancing in DinoLand late at night, and checking out the Art of Animation Resort. Once the conference was over, we had some extra days to roam the four parks together.

Even a simple moment like the two of you sitting together on a Disney bus while going to a new destination melted my heart. Just three years ago, you were so little when we took you to Disney World for your first visit. Now, the two of you could lead us around the parks and tell us where you wanted to go.

What I loved was the two of you humored us to keep a tradition alive. On our last day at Disney World, we have always worn matching shirts. Both of you agreed to do this again. The best part was wearing them while two special friends before our trip was over:

Sure the heat may have gotten to all of us from time to time, but the amazing moments together is something we will always remember. For now, we will look back at these and hope to start planning another trip back one day soon.

Love,

Mommy

Disclosure: Although we paid for our own trip to Disney World to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, we were given an incredible deal from Disney. Also note that Disney never asked us to blog about this event. As a long time Disney fan, it is my pleasure to share my experiences from the event.

Laundry FastPass Requested

Posted on May 4, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Coming back from a vacation can be a reality check. After a week away, it is hard to jump into school, work, cleaning, and especially all of the laundry that accumulated over a week in this magical destination:

The last thing I want to think about is all of the dirty clothing, unused clothing, and other items sitting in these bags that need to be put away and washed. Yes, I am hereby officially demanding a FastPass to get done with laundry. For those familiar with Walt Disney World and other Disney parks, you will get that reference. For others, FastPass allows you to get a pass for a ride to come back during a specific time to ride with a minimal wait.

So my question to you this week:

How long does it usually take you to unpack, wash laundry, and put everything away after a vacation?

Saying Goodbye to the Magic

Posted on May 3, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Each trip to Walt Disney World is filled with moments we will never forget. This trip has been no different. We all saw
Fantasmic for the first time together. We stayed out late another night to see the Main Street Electric Parade.

Just hearing the music brought me back to my childhood. The smiles on the boys faces as the lights and characters went by was priceless.

My father and I took TechyDad and NHL on the Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster. This was their first time on a coaster that has a loop.

They skipped it a second time while Papa and I ran back on for another spin.

It really is hard to say goodbye to the magical memories at the end of a Disney vacation.

Thank goodness we have a lot of photos to remember all of the details. So much more to share soon.

Tuesday Tales – Disney World Post-Pearson

Posted on May 1, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

While at Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, I had the opportunity to select a breakout session. When I saw that author Ridley Pearson was going to be there, it was an easy choice.

Just over a year ago, while at Walt Disney World, I walked off Pirates of the Caribbean and noticed some books. I took a photo so I could check them out at a later date. The books were called Kingdom Keepers and they intrigued me. One year later, I have read all of the books, save for one which was just published, and I am an even bigger fan.

Now that I have read all but the latest book in the series, I look at things differently when in the parks. I imagine the characters, the places, and events. More coming soon from this day soon.
