Here I am! :wave2: I feel so honored to be remembered!
I, very sadly, have still not received my Mickey Moms packet. :sad2: I am so afraid it will never come and I'll never get the magnet.
Thanks again for the shout out! :lovestruc

You may not have your packet, but you have a nice new siggy!!!!
 
I love this, too! Thank you for offering, you are so sweet! :goodvibes I just PM'ed you. I can't wait to post it in my siggie!!

OK...I'm caught up with the PMs I've received...if anyone else wants a siggy, please don't hesitate to PM me. It's fun seeing the new siggy floating around. :)
 
:wave2: Hi!

Does anyone notice anything different about my beautiful brand new siggy? (psssst look below....)


Diane,
Thank you so much for making my Mickey Moms Club name tag for my siggy, I really appreciate it! I love it and it looks fantastic! I can already tell I am going to love seeing this every day! :banana: :thumbsup2 :woohoo:

Thank you!!!! :worship:

Yah! I got my Mom's Pack today...took a bit longer to get to Canada.

I was surprised how nice it all is...my kids and I all got excited just in time for our trip next month! I am shocked how big the magnet is that you all were talking about!!!

Question - I assume the DVD is the same 2008 Vacation Planning DVD. Can someone who watched it confirm?
 
Heather,

Love your new siggy! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 Nice to read your story about homeschooling - way to go mom!!

(written from the Magical Express bus...I'm almost "home"!:) )

Thanks! Feel free to swipe it if you'd like. ;)

I see it cut off my DVC logos though - did it put me over a length limit or something? :confused:

Have a great weekend!
 
Here I am! :wave2: I feel so honored to be remembered!

We've had a lot of health issues in the family so I've been struggling to keep my head above water - I'm sorry I've been neglectful!

I, very sadly, have still not received my Mickey Moms packet. :sad2: I am so afraid it will never come and I'll never get the magnet.

I have nothing really exciting to report here. My oldest dd will (I think) be entering school this fall for the first time - I've homeschooled, but it's become very difficult to do with all the other issues right now. Anyway, I took her to an evaluation this morning and the teacher came back with all kinds of questions for me about how I had taught her and how she knew things, etc. They were very impressed (and seriously she's amazing, why shouldn't they be? :thumbsup2 ) and they told me that whatever I'm doing, to keep doing it. That felt so great to hear! I know you other stay-at-home or homeschooling moms can appreciate how thankless the job can be sometimes, and how you don't feel like people really notice what you're doing. I felt very validated this morning so it was a great way to start a weekend! :goodvibes And this afternoon dh called to tell me he got a nice raise and another bonus! :cool1:

So that's my life in a nutshell. :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :goodvibes :yay:

Thanks again for the shout out! :lovestruc

Hi Heather!

Glad to hear you are on the upward trend now. Hopefully things will keep going well! Take care and keep up the awesome work! :)
 
Your right Heather, what a thankless job we have. I'm hate making such life altering decision. We would do anything for this little ones:love: Just keep up the good work.
 
Kim - if anything is posted online about your media event with the Mommy Bloggers, point us in the right direction...unless of course DISgeeksfromDC digs it up first!

Bwaaahahahahahaha! [Insert maniacal – but more silly than scary – laugh from DISgeeks.] ;)

Actually... I have managed to track down a handful of the attendees of this weekend's Mommy Blogger Mixer. It sounds pretty “cushy,” too: all-expense-paid trip, including deluxe accommodations at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and a top-secret itinerary. (Note: Some of the invitees are more difficult to identify, since they contribute to shared/cooperative blogs.)

Oh DISgeeksfromDC, how do you find all of this stuff??? Can we please have a summary after they update the sites? I got the part that it sounds "cushy" and included BCV and was top secret. It sounds very exciting! I think I hope it will rerun and come out DVDISgeeksfromDC!:lmao: Thank you for the information!


edited to add: instead of DVD -> DVDISgeeksfromDC;)

'Gotta love Google! :teeth:

Can we please have a summary after they update the sites?

It sounds like they were scheduled to attend Cirque de Soliel La Nouba Saturday night, and they have a character breakfast Sunday morning. Friday night, they spent time in Epcot, where they had a spectacular view of IllumiNations following dinner at Tutto Italia. And, of course, the entire weekend is a perfect opportunity for them to network with fellow mommy bloggers.

There's talk about scooping the press by being the first group to preview some new something in the Parks. Needless to say, my curiosity is piqued...

"There is evidently some top-secret event that no one knows about yet and the media hasn't even SEEN. We will be the FIRST to break the news story! We were told we can't take pictures, but we CAN blog about it, so I'll be sure to bring you the scoop when I get back to my room."

"There is also a 'top secret' event planned for us that just a couple of people know about and from what I understand the media is dying to know about! WE GET TO EXPERIENCE IT FIRST! =)"
-The Ladybug and her Blogging Mama

"A special last-minute addition to the agenda is that we are going somewhere no one has ever been before. It's something brand new opening in the fall that no press has even seen. As one of the Disney employees said, we are scooping the New York Times."

Toy Story Mania?

Or possibly the "Secret" DVC Contemporary building called Kingdom Towers?

Hmmmm, what other secrets are there. How exciting for the panelists...go them! :)

I wonder if the something new could be the new Tinkerbell and Fairies character meet and greet. I think I read here this is being set up in the tear drop (new description to me) area around the corner to the left at the end of the Toontown area. I am wondering this because they say "never seen" and the "fall". I think that DVD ;) is coming out in the fall and I don't know if it has been seen by anyone yet. This Tink meet and greet sounds wonderful, I read that they will be "shrinking" the guests who enter so they are Fairy sized.
 
So, I'm just catching up with this thread.

I'm a little confused. When did all this Mommy blogger stuff come up? To be honest, most of my time "reading" is done on these boards, not blogs.

Just clicking on some of the links posted above, I am amazed at the blogs and websites these Moms do! Wow, it's really like journaling for the whole world to read.

Amazing!

What does anyone know about this Mommy Blogger Mixer? Was this anything anyone had heard of? Seems like it just came out of the blue, and reading some of their entries, it's amazing that some of them have never even been to Florida or Disney World.

Was this event put on by the same three CMs that worked on the Moms Panel or was this something entirely different?

Seems amazing to me that Disney picked up on these Mommy bloggers and is seeking their input too.

Does anyone know the background and/or scoop?

All I can say is OMG...I had NO IDEA all this info was out there...and you brought it all together! Thank you for sharing!!!

I think we should call you Scoopy!

I've read through most of the links and I haven't seen a mention of Leanne, Duncan or Amy. However, I did catch these two names: Michelle and Joyce. There was a Michelle involved with the interviews on the final round - not sure if it's the same Michelle though.

As far as how this came up....Kim mentioned she and Darcie were going to Disney this weekend for a Mom's blogging event. I asked Kim to post any coverage links she knew of when she got back. In the meantime, our DISGeek...aka Scoopy...found a ton of links referring to the Mom's Blog event. Looks like they are all staying at the Beach Club. And that's where we are now.
