Our Disney World Family Tradition

Posted on May 5, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

Coming back home from a magical week at Disney World has been a tough transition for all of us. Now, we can sit down and look at all of the moments that we captured from this latest adventure to Orlando. There was the pirate party, dancing in DinoLand late at night, and checking out the Art of Animation Resort. Once the conference was over, we had some extra days to roam the four parks together.

Even a simple moment like the two of you sitting together on a Disney bus while going to a new destination melted my heart. Just three years ago, you were so little when we took you to Disney World for your first visit. Now, the two of you could lead us around the parks and tell us where you wanted to go.

What I loved was the two of you humored us to keep a tradition alive. On our last day at Disney World, we have always worn matching shirts. Both of you agreed to do this again. The best part was wearing them while two special friends before our trip was over:

Sure the heat may have gotten to all of us from time to time, but the amazing moments together is something we will always remember. For now, we will look back at these and hope to start planning another trip back one day soon.

Love,

Mommy

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.

Saying Goodbye to the Magic

Posted on May 3, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Each trip to Walt Disney World is filled with moments we will never forget. This trip has been no different. We all saw
Fantasmic for the first time together. We stayed out late another night to see the Main Street Electric Parade.

Just hearing the music brought me back to my childhood. The smiles on the boys faces as the lights and characters went by was priceless.

My father and I took TechyDad and NHL on the Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster. This was their first time on a coaster that has a loop.

They skipped it a second time while Papa and I ran back on for another spin.

It really is hard to say goodbye to the magical memories at the end of a Disney vacation.

Thank goodness we have a lot of photos to remember all of the details. So much more to share soon.

Fantasmic Memories

Posted on April 30, 2012 12:30 am by TheAngelForever

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?

Moving to Disney World

Posted on April 29, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

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.

A Trip to Remember

Posted on April 28, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

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
