  1. Happy Easter

    April 24, 2011 by Leanne

    Easter Weekend – I can’t believe it’s here already. There are so many “events” at this time of year I feel like a juggling act in a 3-ring circus sometimes.

    To start with – it’s not only my mom’s birthday but separated by just a few days is Mike’s mom’s birthday. They’re only one year apart in age, too. And typically, two weeks later it’s Mother’s Day.  Lots of mom shopping going on.

    It’s also a very busy time at work and that’s the time frame that salaried cast members are asked to help with work in the theme parks. I was scheduled today to be at Magic Kingdom for a few hours assistance.  With this you never know what your assignment is until you walk in the door at the Magic Kingdom, check-in and then receive your assignment.  For me this year, it was helping at Cosmic Rays.

    And most important – it’s the anniversary of when Mike and I reunited.  This year marks our 3rd anniversary together.  He remembered it in high-class fashion:

  2. It’s #DisneySMMoms Fault!

    April 7, 2011 by Leanne

    Yes – it’s totally the fault of the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration.  What?   My lack of updating my blog.

    The event was March 17-20. I know, three weeks ago! A full year’s worth of planning goes into such a big event and getting over it (as far as recuperating) takes quite awhile.

    I love being part of such a big program. The best part is the relationship side – meeting so many new people and reconnecting with so many people I’ve been social with online. My only regret is not getting to spend time with everyone.

    I love meeting the moms and meeting their families.  I’m so struck by how they manage so many things at one time and still maintain huge smiles on their faces.  I tend to usually get the comment “You look stressed.”

    I love seeing the looks of joy and awe in the eyes of the children.  At the Disney Junior dance party the kids seem to be mesmerized by the characters and the action on the stage.  It was so much fun to watch.

    At the Talk with a Disney Chef & Sommelier, I was so impressed by the questions asked by the group. They were asking things I never would have thought of – so insightful!  This was a big hit.  Who doesn’t enjoy some serious Disney dining?

    The speakers were awesome!  Chris Brogan (above) delivered another humorous yet informative talk.  He’s just plain spectacular.  What I love most is how he engages with the audience.  He mingles with them during the entire conference. This means so much to people – uh – called relationship building!  He’s a master at it.

    We scattered little surprises throughout the Celebration, like a Duffy surprise after lunch.

    Ah, to be back at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort – lakeside, on a gorgeous spring night, listening to live music. That was nice!

    This weekend I’m planning on a super-duper mani/pedi to get relaxed.  I may even pay a few bucks extra for some extra foot massage time. Just sayin’…..
