As a parent, there is one wish I always wanted to give my kids. One dream I always had.
And finally, I got to be THAT parent. That parent that announces to their kids that they are going to Disney World. Being able to do this was more heartfelt that I could have ever imagined!
.
For months hubby and I have been keeping the secret that we got the golden ticket invite to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration for 2012. This Wednesday we fly to Florida and take in the conference for 3 fun-filled days with Disney, experiencing much behind-the-scenes action.
We will stay at the park for one whole week though, and will get to know two of the many on-site Resort Hotels offered at the park. It’s our first time at Disney, and I’ll be honest, it’s overwhelming but such an incredible adventure that we are more than willing to take on.
Then, thanks to ALL STAR Vacation Homes, we will be extending our stay, living the Florida life in a gorgeous vacation rental home. With many homes to choose from from ALL STAR and all varying in size, amenities and price {yet all conveniently located very close to Walt Disney World}, we picked one awesome and amazing house to call home sweet home for another week of our stay.
During our second week, Tourism Florida also has some fun adventures for us as well!
There will be many updates to share on FB, Twitter and here. And, be sure to follow conversations as they happen, from all the attendees: #DisneySMmoms
We are more than THRILLED for our 14 day family holiday. Better start packing! 
.
How very exciting!! Congrats.
Thanks Julia, wish you were coming as well!
I loved disney but have never been able to take my own kids and now one is ready to graduate and leave
I had always hoped to but the cost is so dern expensive from where I live – ah to have a major airport near us LOL
There’s still time! Make it a girlfriends trip! It would be fun!
ah its the cost that hampers us, airfare per person is not cheap in Canada, esp when you have to fly and our vehicle prob wouldn’t make a trip like that LOL
but I do enter to try to win !!!
Airfare is not cheap, but if you watch closely, it’s not as bad as one would think. A friend booked 2 months in advance and it was only $400pp… so if you have time for research, it could save a ton!
yeah but both of us work and we have to book off our stuff in jan (we legally get three weeks paid where I live) my hubbys place is unionized and he’s bottom man on the pole but I could prob get it off as long as its our off season at work (nov- feb). With both my kids being 16 and 18 they’d have to pay adult fares, but on the bright side, we’ve all got passports (and arent those horribly expenisve, basically $100 after you’ve done the photo and paid the fees)
My daughter is going to Australia thru the school, and we’ve paid the fees in full for that, $4700, now she just has to work this summer and do bingos for spending money. And of course, we did have to buy her new luggage lol
Congrats on the amazing opportunity! Your girls must be over the moon!
They already ‘packed’, lol
Of course I need to re-do it all, but still – yes, they are excited!
Your family is going to have so much. Enjoy your trip. I can’t wait to hear all about it!!
Thanks Lisa!
That brought tears to my eyes. I can’t wait to see you and your girls there. My girls are 4 and 6.
Almost the same ages, Susan, I didn’t know!
So happy to see you again, and with our kids for once!!
Congrats! Sounds like a wonderful vacation! Have fun!
Oh I am envious! Have a GREAT TIME!!!
I can say from experience, telling my kids we were going to WDW, was the best thing ever!!
here’s what my kids looked like: http://www.shasherslife.com/2011/04/easter-surprise-were-going-to.html
