Second Mom Blogger Mixer at Walt Disney World
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
I am such a blessed and lucky person! I was privileged to be a part of the first and second Walt Disney World Mom Blogger Mixers, the first in April and the second one this past weekend.
Walt Disney World truly cares about the people who visit their parks and it shows because they believe in speaking one-on-one with real moms to see how they can improve their parks, accommodations, and services. Not only did we get to enjoy the parks, amazing restaurants, and entertainment we also got to speak with execs in short pow-wow sessions about our feelings about Walt Disney World. I absolutely loved the strategy sessions! Wish we could have talked longer.
Friday through Sunday I finally met in real life so many moms I have been reading for years and others who I have been reading for a short period of time including:
Yolanda from Ebony Mommy
Tanyetta from Days Like These
Renee from Cutie Booty Cakes
Michele from Integrated Mother
Nadia from Mama Law
Kim from Mom in the City
Felicia from Reign of the Girl Child
Kristina from Mom on the Rise
Mel from Mel, a Dramatic Mommy
Special thanks to Maria Bailey of BSM Media, who is so awesome and such a fabulous person! Thank you to all of the wonderful people at Disney including Michelle Baumann and Leann, Annette, Super Sarah (and she was super!), Laura (who knows everything you ever need to know about Disney), Angel, and all of the wonderful Disney execs who treated us like real VIPs and cared very much about what we had to share. Thank you so much for treating us to a fabulous weekend. And above all else, thank you for caring about what diverse mothers feel about Disney. You totally "get it" and that makes us feel special. Disney rocks!

Wow I wish I could have attended this event! I'm a stay at home mom who's about to start a blog about my jewelry collection. I buy pretty jewelry online from sites such as www.idonowidont.com and I've sold jewelry to the site too. And I wanted to blog about it all and I love disney. maybe next time I'll see you there!
