DISNEY SM MOMS MAGIC OF HEALTHY LIVING DINNER

Photo Credit: Ashley Reeve

Last month I had the honor of attending the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. One of our dinners was called the Magic of Healthy Living Celebration. Disney has launched a healthy program promoting happy, healthy children who are making smart choices for eating and and who are getting plenty of exercise. We were treated to a special dinner with extremely healthy choices. Some of the other guests that were in attendance were the winners from the Healthy Living national essay contest.

WHERE IN THE WORLD TO DINE?

In my a recent blog contribution, Celebrating At Walt Disney World, I may have mentioned I’ll be celebrating my birthday on property for the first time ever next year.

My wife has been asking me everyday for the last three weeks where I would like to have dinner on my birthday. Each time she asks I have the same response:  I don’t know. Well, I think my answer is starting to wear thin on her. She’s afraid we won’t get an ADR at the restaurant I choose because it’s taking me so long to decide. I keep telling her we can always eat at Tony’s Town Square. For those who don’t realize it, I’m being sarcastic, and for the person who likes Tony’s Town Square, I am truly sorry if I offended you!

INNER MOUSE 7 – IT’S A SOCIAL WORLD AFTER ALL

The Disney Driven Life brings you the seventh episode of inner mouse.  In this week’s show, Nicole, Scott, John, and JL discuss Disney in the realm of social media.  They consider how Disney has impacted the lives of Disney fans with its social media outlets as well as how the fans in social media have impacted Disney.  Disney’s new campaign, “Let the Memories Begin,” was a hot topic for the show as team inner mouse analyzed the campaign’s concept and its delivery through the Disney Parks Blog and Ustream as well as the response it got in the various social media outlets.

A GENTLE PUSH

Strolling down the path that leads to Tomorrowland, I see the very thing to beckon Elle to my side . . . a mobile trash can.  Although this is the first time I have ever laid eyes on the traveling waste receptacle, I immediately recognize it as PUSH.  Reports on the internet of PUSH have frequently intrigued me, and I feel a rush of excitement over finally spotting it.

“Elle,” I call out in wild enthusiasm, “Quickly come here!”  Elle’s eyes widen at my antics.    She knows that I have made a magical discovery and rushes to me.  “Look,” I direct, “Do you see that trash can?”  She nods.  “It’s a walking trash can,” I explain.  Elle giggles while she watches PUSH zig-zag across the path ahead of us.  I continue, “Its name is PUSH.  It is a real, functioning trash can.  Do you know why it is called PUSH?  You can push its door to throw trash inside,” I elaborate.  “Can I try?” my eager waste manager inquires.  I respond with a crisp, “Sure!”

A NDM IN HER NAKEDNESS

The idea of taking my trio of Mouse-centered kiddos to a Disney park as a single parent has me scared.  I have never attempted a magical expedition “child heavy” and husbandless.  My mommy senses warn me that this situation has the potential to be disastrous.

I am a Neurotic Disney Mom, and as such I tend to daydream while I walk through the fanciful streets of The Happiest Place on Earth.  What if I slip into my Disney coma and lose track of my most precious treasures?  What if while I’m looking to the left a monstrous Mousenapper snatches my little micelings from the right?  My mind races through an alarming number of possible scenarios.

SWAG IN THE BAG

Andrea, the check-in host stationed at the hospitality table, is about to induct me into the privileged society of Disney Social Media Moms with her policies, procedures, and itinerary monologue.  My three World travelers are being watched over by my fellow NDMs, so I should be able to devote every Disney-daydreaming brain cell to this moment in time.  But over in the corner of the room, I catch a glimpse of three lovely ladies whom are smiling and guarding a horde of black bags with colorful contents.  What is that sea of sacks?  Am I about to become the recipient of actual, true, real, bonafide SWAG??!!

REAL, LIVE NEUROTIC DISNEY MOMS

The mention of my name and tap from behind startles me a little bit.  Mychicagomommy and MomRN are still chatting next to me, and I hadn’t realized anyone else was standing behind me.  Shocked, I slowly turn to face the one that uttered my name.

CALLING CARDLESS

Pulling up to the guardhouse at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, I feel the hair on my arms stand-up as goosebumps break out like a bad rash.  I can hardly believe what I am about to say when the words form in my mouth. “Hi!” I greet the guard with a wide grin.  “I have a reservation at the Polynesian for the Social Media Moms Celebration.”  I have a reservation at the Polynesian . . . sweeter words were never spoken.

PREPARING FOR TAKE-OFF

“This is not a good start,” I say to myself as I frantically wake the children, prepare them to leave, and pack the van. I have only slept two hours out of the last 24 due to my frenzied state of last minute preparations for Disney’s Social Media Moms Celebration. Having registered for the event a couple months ago, I would normally have all of my Donald Ducks in a row. Recent events, however, have kept me from my usual, diligent readiness.

ARRIVING AT DISNEY’S SOCIAL MEDIA MOMS

The Arrival

It was late morning. I woke up from a refreshing nap in the car when my mom spoke the most joyful words I had heard all day, “We’re at Disney World!” I looked out the window and sure enough, there were the gates, eager to let our “Minnie-van” enter.  I screamed with excitement as we passed the signs. Let me explain. I am NDK#1, and I was going with my family to a Social Media Moms conference. More importantly, it was in Disney World. Now back to the story.
