While at Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, I had the opportunity to select a breakout session. When I saw that author Ridley Pearson was going to be there, it was an easy choice.
Just over a year ago, while at Walt Disney World, I walked off Pirates of the Caribbean and noticed some books. I took a photo so I could check them out at a later date. The books were called Kingdom Keepers and they intrigued me. One year later, I have read all of the books, save for one which was just published, and I am an even bigger fan.
Now that I have read all but the latest book in the series, I look at things differently when in the parks. I imagine the characters, the places, and events. More coming soon from this day soon.
What have you read recently? Please be sure to link up to your book posts in the comments below. Include something you read on your own, with a child, or someone else. Tuesday Tales are all about spreading the love for books.
Disclosure: Although we paid for our own trip to Disney World to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, we were given an incredible deal from Disney. Also note that Disney never asked us to blog about this event. As a long time Disney fan, it is my pleasure to share my experiences from the event.
Adventures to Walt Disney World continue to change as the boys get older. Each year, they grow bigger and taller for new rides. In addition to this, they get more adventurous and can stay up later.
For years, we would skip a lot of the late evening shows, parades, and fireworks since the boys were tired.
During this trip, we experienced a first together. We finally got to see Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios. TechyDad and I missed it on our honeymoon because I had sun poisoning the night it was playing.
The timing was right and we got to Hollywood Studios later in the day. We did a few things, had a quick dinner, then walked to get on line. The time in the beautiful arena went quickly. The kids were nervous, but that changed.
We all loved this magical first viewing of Fantasmic and there will be many more items to share soon.
What moments have you shared with your family at Walt Disney World that were special to your family and why?

Dreams, we all have them. Sometimes, we may not even realize they exist until you have an opportunity in front of you. I seem to be living this. First, it was walking in Norway at Epcot with this amazing man:
That is the head Kingdom Keeper – Ridley Pearson showing some of us places that inspired parts of his book series that I have written about before.
Then, when walking back to Yacht Club alone, this view made me know that I was on my way home.
Yes, I feel so comfortable at Walt Disney World that it is my home when I am lucky enough to be there. I can visualize the memories that we will have with our family for a lifetime and I know they will be magical.
We will forever remember these times that we enjoyed together.

Dear NHL and JSL,
Watching the two of you at Walt Disney World has been amazing. On Thursday, I spent some time roaming Epcot with NHL alone and that was a first.
While Daddy and I were at the conference on Friday, you spent most of the day at Hollywood Studios. My heart skipped a beat from the joy when Papa sent me this photo:
I can only imagine how the rest of the photos from the day went. So many other things to share from our magical time, but those will be later. Now it is time to savor these moments together.
Love,
Mommy
