Laundry FastPass Requested

Posted on May 4, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Coming back from a vacation can be a reality check. After a week away, it is hard to jump into school, work, cleaning, and especially all of the laundry that accumulated over a week in this magical destination:

The last thing I want to think about is all of the dirty clothing, unused clothing, and other items sitting in these bags that need to be put away and washed. Yes, I am hereby officially demanding a FastPass to get done with laundry. For those familiar with Walt Disney World and other Disney parks, you will get that reference. For others, FastPass allows you to get a pass for a ride to come back during a specific time to ride with a minimal wait.

So my question to you this week:

How long does it usually take you to unpack, wash laundry, and put everything away after a vacation?

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
