I’ve spent the past 48 hours with an amazing group of mom bloggers at Walt Disney World Resort. We started Friday evening and experienced a whirlwind tour of some of the magic Disney has to offer families.
I’m always a slightly nervous heading into these weekends. It goes back to the feelings we all felt in high-school, wondering if we’ll be liked, will we be accepted, and will we get along. We all come from different backgrounds, different areas of the country, different living conditions, different family make-ups, different economic status. But the one thing I think we all had or felt, was an appreciation and adoration of the Disney brand.
I was honored to meet these very amazing women. There were 3 moms here who each have 6 children! Two moms with very 7-month old boys. Yet they were all so cool and calm and so much fun to be around. I’ve never been blessed with children, sadly, although I treat my two dogs as my kids. I had so much fun with everyone this weekend. AND I even had a golden opportunity to babysit a 7-month old for about an hour – and the precious baby never cried once! I did good.

I’ll share more soon. I had an extraordinary weekend – made many new friends and am totally exhausted. Having a glass of wine then off to bed. @magicalmoms ROCK!
From all the tweets this weekend, and a blog post or two…sounds like it was a lot of fun full of magic for everyone!
Way to go with the seven month old! I don’t know why he would have cried being around you! You are so sweet and personable!
Have a great week.
Thanks for sharing. You – not liked? Impossible! Looks like everyone had a magical time, as usual.
It sounded like such a great weekend, can’t wait to read all about it!
Oh, Leanne! I love these pictures and can’t wait to see them all. I already miss you guys
It was an honor to have met you and Laura and everyone at Disney was just simply amazing. I hope you’re all available for a visit when we come back (never got to talk about that during this busy weekend!)
I can’t wait to see more pictures, and video
Email me, ok?
It was so much fun spending time with you and getting to know you. You are amazing and friendly and just a joy to be around.
Thank you for everything. I LOVE your recap!
It really was a very fun weekend. This may sound too deep, but in some ways it felt life-changing. I feel like I’ve met 10 new friends who will have an impact on my life. Very cool.
Oh, you’re gonna make me cry, damn it! I hope to see you when I return with the family
Leanne, great pics and video. I can’t wait to see them all!!!
And, it is so true…when I meet other women at these things or through my net relationships, it’s like an unbreakable bond is formed instantly. It’s so weird and hard to put into the right words, but it is life changing!
Again, so glad to have met u and I feel honored and blessed to have been included
Oh, and your man is a handsome one!!
Looks like you guys had a fantastic weekend! I’m glad that I was able to see you Leanne and able to meet some of the great Mom Bloggers. Keep up these Mommy Blogger mixers, they show these moms Disney at its absolute best! xoxo
It was so great to meet you, Leanne… It was truly a magical weekend and was made even better by everyone with whom it was shared! I can’t wait to bring all of my “half dozen” kiddos with me the next time I visit!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the pics and getting to know you better in the days to come.
Leanne! So glad you DID babysit my 7mo! (Was it really an hour? I guess I lost track of time in that bea-u-tiful hotel!)
I had such a magical time. It was a once-in-a-lifetime to meet you and see Disney thru your eyes. Thank you again!
Leanne-so awesome to spend time with all of you. Thanks for invite and I am so excited baout the tnew friends you have introduced me too! See ya again soon!
Wow! All I can say is how do I get a a list for the next #magicalmoms trip. We’re a Disney family from MD!
