Our Christmas morning was a magical one this year. We got up around 6 before the kids. The one day a year where they are not dragging us out of bed. I thought that we were going to be waking Andrew up, but he wandered down. We had our cinnamon buns and opened gifts. the kids were very excited to give us the gifts that they picked up during Christmas Shoppe. We gave their their gifts and they were so excited. Neither kid said anything about how few gifts were under the tree. It was alight year this year because we are doing something very special that we will reveal below.

We also had FaceTime Christmas with Allison’s parents. They send up a box of gifts for everyone before Christmas and then we open them while we do FaceTime together.

I had a call scheduled for Mickey and Minnie to talk to Eva and Andrew and tell them that they were going to be going on a Disney Cruise. You see, I was invited to go to Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in February. It is a conference where I can take the family along and it is in Walt Disney World and also on the Disney Cruise. We’ll be sailing on the Disney Dream for 3 days. I also set up three cameras to record the kids’ reactions. However, the GoPro on my head wasn’t pointed the right way so I didn’t get much footage out of that one. I had better learn how to use that before we go on the trip. The phone call did not come in when scheduled so I tried to make the call come immediately. It still didn’t come so I had the kids come in to the kitchen where I had something very special set up. You can see it in the video below.

Disney Social Media Moms On the Road

Disney Social Media Moms On the Road
Photo-A-Day #4439

Today I went into Boston with my friend Annie Stow of Stowed Stuff Daily Vlogs. We were headed to boston to attend the Disney Social Media Moms On the Road mini conference. This half-day event was a lot of fun. We learned all sorts of things about the Disney Parks as well as the way Disney does their Social Media. We learned from the people who are doing the Social Media for the Disney Parks and it was really eye opening. I was really impressed and would love to work on Disney’s social media some day, that just sounds so amazing. What a place to tell stories.

Everyone who spoke to us was very interesting. I learned a lot and was inspired. I also like that they thought enough to make me and the other dad blogger there our own set of Mickey Ears that said Disney Dad on them. That made all the difference. It is that kind of special touch that I love about Disney events.

There were prizes and giveaways and also some really sweet thank you bags full of fun Disney Parks swag. I even won one of the random giveaways and Allison totally benefitted from that win. You can see that in today’s video.
