Disney Social Media Moms Celebration on the Road: NYC

April 12, 2016 by Lisa 1 Comment

I was invited to spend a magical morning at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration on the Road in NYC. While at the event, I got to see my friends, learn about all the exciting new things happening at Walt Disney World and a few blog tips!

Disney Social Media Moms Celebration on the Road in NYC

Coming soon to Walt Disney World Theme Parks

As of now, we don’t have any definitive plans to visit Walt Disney World (sad face emoticon) but it’s great to know there’s so much to look forward to. I am especially excited for what’s happening at Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

If you’re thinking of planning a Walt Disney World vacation, keep reading. This summer promises to be filled with blockbuster experiences!  [videos below]

Animal Kingdom: From Day to Night

I’ve always been in awe of the Tree of Life. It was one of the things my parents were especially impressed by on our multi-generational Walt Disney World vacation. Starting April 22 – Earth Day – Animal Kingdom will transform from a “day-into-nighttime experience.” And the Tree of Life “will awaken each night…[to] reveal stories of wonder as the tree morphs to showcase the magic of nature.“

Disney’s Hollywood Studios: All About Star Wars

By now you should know we are huge Star Wars fans. And it’s all about Star Wars at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (YAY)! One of the magical things I love about Walt Disney World are the nighttime spectacular shows and fireworks. And this summer you’ll see “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular.” The Star Wars-themed fireworks show will feature “…lasers, special effects and video projections of characters and scenes from the complete saga, all set to the iconic score of the film series.“

Blog Tips & Inspiration

It wasn’t all about coming attractions at Walt Disney World theme parks. There were quite a few guest speakers including 2 of my amazing Babble editors and dynamic mother/daughter duo – Crafty Chica and Maya in the Moment. From Pinterest to Snapchat to taking your blog game to the next level – there was so much great information provided. Needless to say, I was taking notes and tweeting like a mad woman.

Andrea of @BabbleEditors: Think of your blog post as packages. Where else can a post live & how.

@DisneyParksJenn: A skilled storyteller conveys emotion & makes readers/audience feel something. Finding a topic you are passionate about will make your writing better.

@CraftyChica: Don’t put out empty calorie content…make your content purposeful.

@MayaInTheMoment: Bring your kids into your [social media] world and monitor their content.

@RuizAlex: Snapchat is the Swiss Army knife of platforms with options for everyone 100 million users, sharing moments through images & video – one to one, one to few or one to all.

WDW Park Tip: If you’re heading to the Disney Parks, you’re going to definitely want to download Snapchat. Check out this video for more info!

@LilLunaKristyn: On Pinterest, images with text get FAR more repins than those without. Give your readers choices.

Thank you to the amazing Disney Parks PR Team: Leanne, Jamie & Courtney – it was a magical morning of fun and inspiration!

I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally I’ve had these skates for 5 years and I finally got to skate in them for real. “Why do my skates feel funny?” I wondered. I assumed it was because I’m not used to roller skates. So I spent the first 15 minutes skating with my skates on the wrong feet 🙄😐🤦🏻‍♀️ but once I fixed them - skating was a little bit easier. 🤣🤣
When the student becomes the teacher… I got to w When the student becomes the teacher… I got to workout with one of my (favorite) former students this morning! From the moment I met her 2 years ago, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with. In the classroom, she is enthusiastic, bright, confident and strong. But at the gym she’s next level! Mel really pushed me today and I know I’ll feel it tomorrow. It wasn’t easy keeping up with this 19 year old. I held my own up until she said 20 minutes on the stair master after our work out. I lasted 5 minutes and then did 15 on the elliptical. 🫠🫠 And obviously we needed a quick locker room photo shoot. 🤣 Also…I don’t know if it’s the angle or the lighting but I can’t believe my arms/back look like that! 😳🥹

When I think about where I was and where I am now, When I think about where I was and where I am now, I am so damn grateful. I used to believe that I “wasted” the best years of my life. I was so wrong. I am living my best years and fully present in my life. 🤍 5/6/18 🤍 5 years one day at a time (sometimes one hour, one minute, one second).

In case anyone’s wondering how my life is going… 😬😐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaq Started reading Carmen and Grace by @melissacossaquino on the 6 train. By page 5, I had to close the book and take a minute to absorb the words on the page. Ok ok ok, I also may have begun tearing up a bit. I love when a book makes me feel. There are times when I come across a book, and the words are exactly what I need at that precise moment. This is that book, this is the time. “The only way out for you is through.” 🤍

He sent me a video at 7am - fully dressed in his uniform for his 1pm game - and a text saying he was disappointed. 😕  It’s after 12 and he’s still in his uniform.
I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first g I didn’t think I’d be able to make his first game but I surprised him. When he saw me he said, “Mama! What the hell are you doing here?” But he was totally happy to see me. Grateful @d3sportsandrec exists! 💙
After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” w After class flex. This month I hit my “goal” weight and for the first time since before Norrin was born, I’m wearing a size 6 jean. Does it feel good? Yes. It does. But what feels even better is that I feel strong. Stronger than I’ve ever felt in my entire life. Thanks for an amazing class @freelikeoj_allday & @tiabrooks_0106 for always offering to take a picture.

Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summe Earlier this week, I was unpacking my spring/summer clothes. I found 3 dresses that I’ve had forever - probably 15 years. They were probably only worn once. I held on to them, even though I couldn’t fit into them. Because I knew one day, I would fit into them again. Over the last 2 years, I’ve lost some weight but they still didn’t fit last summer. When I tried them on this week, they fit! I haven’t been able to fit into these dresses in more than a decade. And so yesterday I put on the blue dress. I didn’t go anywhere spectacular. I wasn’t on a date. I visited a friend in the neighborhood, went to a meeting and then White Castle (don’t judge me). When I first bought this dress and when it fit, I held on to it - waiting for an occasion. I refuse to do that. I’m not waiting for a man to take me out, or a party or an event. If I want to wear something, I will wear it. I am the special occasion. I am the event. I am worth getting dressed up for. 

Also - I realize that holding on to clothing for 15 years hoping it will fit again is probably not normal. But oh well. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
