    Disney Social Media Moms Celebration 2016

    Published: Jun 11, 2016 · Modified: Jun 19, 2021 by Kelly Stilwell · This post may contain affiliate links 4 Comments

    When I was invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, I was floored! This was an invite-only event, and I had been dreaming of receiving an invitation for years!

    In case you aren't familiar with this event, it's a four day conference and celebration for that year's Disney Social Media Moms and their families.

    The event is not free, but the price is dramatically reduced, and includes a 7-day park hopper pass for each registered family member, with more fast passes than we knew what to do with!

    The host hotel this year was the gorgeous Yacht Club, one of my favorite Disney properties. Needless to say, it was pretty amazing! Though this is truly only a snippet of the magic, I wanted to share some of my favorite memories.

    Magical Memories

    Connecting with other writers/bloggers

    Spending time with other bloggers who share a love for Disney was pretty amazing. Some of the people I got to know at the conference I had known online for years, so it was really special to meet them in person.

    My family meeting my online family 

    My family hears me talk about my blogging friends, but they don't often get to meet them. Nickida from Nicki's Random Musings has been a friend for so long. I knew she and my husband would hit it off!

     When I was invited to Disney Social Media Moms Celebration back in March, I was floored! An invite-only event, I had been dreaming of receiving that invitation since the day I learned of the event five years ago.

    Spending a week at the Disney World parks

    Such a treat! We live just 90 minutes away, but because it's not that far, we don't typically stay for more than a day or two.

    Character meet and greets 

    Too many to list, but loved them all! Meeting Mickey that first day was so much fun, and the princesses were so sweet. Belle even suggested we meet for tea! Between our love for books and tea, we are kindred spirits!

    VIP Tour 

    I won a VIP Tour for 10 people! I had no idea there were so many quick escape routes from the lines you sometimes find after parades and special events.

    Fast Passes

    We got on every attraction we wanted to ride with Fast Passes, and had the best seats for the shows we wanted to see. We even had a meet and greet with Mickey & Minnie, Kylo Ren, and Chewy! Check out what we did on the VIP tour!

    The Rides

    The rides! Who else loves The Mine Train? The Jungle Cruise? It's a Small World?

    The food

    We were treated to spectacular meals all through the event. It was no surprise to me that Disney Chef Jean-Marc Viallet was named one of ten top pastry chefs in America.

    You've heard me say before that the food at Disney is amazing. In case you didn't see my post from the EPCOT Food and Wine Preview, take a look to see what I mean! At Disney Social Media Moms, they went over-the-top with deliciousness!

    The Speakers

    We heard from several speakers from the Walt Disney company, including George A Kalogridis, President of Walt Disney World Resorts. Nancy Kanter, from the Disney Channel, shared about upcoming new shows.

    We were also treated to a presentation from Suzanne Todd, producer of Alice Through the Looking Glass, as well as Lindsey Collins, producer of Finding Dory.

    I think my favorite speaker was Charisma Star, YouTube sensation, who shared about her journey and success. She was such an inspiration! I also loved hearing from Abigail Akzin who spoke about the incredible Dream Big Princess Initiative. Learn more about it in this short video:

    For all who are dreaming of attending the next Disney Social Media Moms, my fingers are crossed for you to be sprinkled with that Pixie Dust! Fairy tales do come true!

      Definitely believe that that you said. Your favourite reason appeared
      to be on the web the simplest thing to remember of.
      I say to you, I definitely get irked even as folks consider issues
      that they plainly do not realize about. You managed to hit the
      nail upon the top and defined out the entire thing without having
      side-effects , folks can take a signal. Will probably be
      again to get more. Thanks
