Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports: Doing a conference....the Disney way!

Doing a conference....the Disney way!

Have you heard people say, "Don't build your expectations too high just in case you get disappointed when things don't work out the way you'd imagine it to".....well, my expectations were sky high when I packed my bags to leave for Disney's 1st ever Social Media Moms Celebration and now I'm back and guess what?...... Disney super-ceded every single one of those expectations and made sure my family and I had the ' time of our lives'!

The event was beautifully orchestrated from the day we checked into our beautiful Hawaiian themed room in the Polynesian Resort

right through to our experience at the parks

and the detailed, exclusive media only events.

Each of the inspirational speakers that addressed our conference sessions left an impressionable mark upon each of us be it on the personal front

or the social media front. I sure did learn some priceless lessons!

No event was the same!

There were surprise guest presenters like Ty Pennington (Extreme Home Makeover),

a Guinness World Record that was set (with the World's Largest Canned Food Sculpture)

a fabulous meal cooked by Chef Robert Irvine (Dinner Impossible, Food Network- this was one of my favorite parts of the trip as Bunny girl and I are big Dinner Impossible fans!),

entertainment that got the youngsters on their feet (!!)

and ofcourse, how could we ever leave out the one-on-one time we got to spend rubbing shoulders with the big Mouse personality himself ?!

(l-r: Connie from Brain Foggles, Jennifer from The Dirty T Shirt, Heidi from Coast to Coast Mom, Christy from More than Mommy and Anitra from The Mama Zone)

Bloggers from all walks of life came together for one cause, to share their passion....their blogs

while nibbling on scrumptious Disney delicacies

and gorging on amazingly rich desserts

in true Disney styled ambiance.

These are just a mere handful of the awesome memories I've come home with and as promised, I will be sharing detailed highlights of my trip over the next few days.

Since this was my first ever Social Media/Blogging Conference and after experiencing it all the Disney way, I can say without hesitation that the bar has now been set very high.....Kudos to Disney for that!!

And if you asked me to describe it all in just one word......here's what you'd get.........MAGICAL!!!
