Disney Social Media Moms Celebration

Guess who’s going to Disney World in Orlando, Florida next week? That’s right, this mom! (And dad and son.) We’re talking part in the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration – which is so completely awesome!

I had little over a month to prepare when I got my invitation in early January. Within one hour of receiving the invitation, I’d IMed Tom at work, asked him if he could get the time off – and if we could afford it – and I completed my conference registration and booked our flights! I’m usually much more of a planner, so this whole spur-of-the-moment Disney vacation is very unlike me!

I got a little excited. Everyone on Twitter was trying to come up with a suitable hashtag for discussing the event. I would like to proudly say that I came up with #DisneySMMoms. And apparently Disney World approved, because they created an official @DisneySMMoms Twitter account! (You’re welcome, guys!) I also started the unofficial Disney Social Media Moms Facebook Group for conference attendees.

So anyway…

I haven’t been to Disney World since the summer after the 8th grade with my best friend Brie. Tom hasn’t been to Disney World in so long that he doesn’t even remember when it was. So much has changed! This will be TJ’s first trip on an airplane and his first time at Disney World. How exciting is that?

We’ve got our Disney World park maps and our Disney’s Magical Express information for the shuttle ride to the hotel. I just need to do a whole bunch of laundry this weekend so we can get packed! (I made a packing list last week.)

And I vow to get at least some of the mommy blogger contingent together for a photo with Jack Sparrow while we’re there.

P.S. I totally plan on liveblogging it.
