Two weeks ago, my daughter called me on the phone and said, "Guess what I got in my e-mail today? THE invitation!" I knew exactly what she meant by "THE invitation". She received an invitation by Disney to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. To say she was excited would be an understatement!
And what she said next, made ME very excited! She asked, "Would you like to go with me?" Whaaaat!?!? Would I like to go with you? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Of course I would!
My daughter got the invite two weeks ago, and we leave one week from tomorrow!
And, we aren't the only two going on this wonderful trip! The DSMMC is very family oriented, and all attendees are encouraged to bring along family members.
So, here is what we've accomplished in the past two weeks:
Made three different flight reservations (Phoenix to Orlando) for seven people. My daughter, three grandkids and I will fly out the day before the conference. My son-in-law and my husband will fly out to join us for a few days toward the end of the trip. All seven of us will fly back to Phoenix on the same flight.
Made reservations at three different Disney resorts and one off-site hotel, reservations for Magical Express and one rental car, customized and received two different sets of magicbands (we'll pick up another set when we arrive) lined up fastpasses and dinner reservations (not too successful due to such short notice!) and planned and revised, and planned again, our days in the parks. We'll receive 7 day park hoppers through the DSMMC, so lots of planning!
Anyway, my head is still spinning and the planning continues! Several times I've thought about doing a trip report and several times, I've scrapped the idea. Tonight, as I sat here making another list of things I need to do, I decided it would be fun to do a trip report. I've done several over the years (I'll provide links to them) and I really enjoyed doing them and looking back over them from time to time. Such memories!
I've learned so much, and gotten so much enjoyment, from reading trip reports on the DIS. I hope others will enjoy mine as well! Photography is a hobby of mine, so you can expect lots of photos!
In my next post, I'll introduce you to the family and give you an idea of what we have planned while at Disney!
