 Walt Disney World – Rock Your #Disneyside 24 Hour Event

Want the chance to be at Walt Disney World for a glorious 24 hours? Save the Date for May 23-24, 2014! Disney is hosting a Rock Your Disney Side 24 hour event where you and your family can ride rides, enjoy shows, entertainment and even come dressed up as your favorite Disney character! Hosted at both Disney World and Disneyland, we can rock it out from coast to coast, the magical Mickey way!

Check out the Rock Your Disney Side 24 Hour Event

Laugh bigger, scream louder and stay out all day and night at an enchanting summer kick-off celebration! No matter which coast you find yourself on, prepare to “Rock Your Disney Side” with a gang of pirates, princesses, villains and party animals, right inside select Disney Parks!

From 6:00 AM to 6:00 AM, May 23 to May 24, 2014, you and your family are invited to dress up for the occasion and join a gathering of Disney heroes and villains for 24 hours of fun and follies—along with a selection of beloved attractions, popular shows and classic entertainment only Disney can bring to life.

Whether you make your way to the Theme Parks of Disneyland Resort in California or find yourself at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, you’re sure to enjoy a memory-making day and night that will go down in history as “wicked fun for everyone.”

General Event Details:

  • Hours of operation for the event will take place from 6:00 AM, May 23, 2014 to 6:00 AM, May 24, 2014.
  • Only select attractions, entertainment and services will be available.
  • Valid theme park admission is required.
  • Event is subject to restrictions and change without notice.

Costume Details:

  • Costumes should be child-friendly and adhere to any guidelines determined by Disney.
  • Costumes should not be obstructive, offensive or violent; drag on the ground; contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest; contain any weapons or objects which resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
  • Masks may be worn, but they must not obstruct vision, and eyes must be visible at all times.
  • Guests who dress like Disney characters may not pose for pictures or sign autographs.
  • Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused admission.

I’m hoping this means you can get all of the 24 hour fun with a 1 day park admission ticket. This would definitely be worth the ticket price!

What Drawing with Disney Animator Mark Henn Taught Me About Life

Want instant clammy hands? Go sit in a animation class with Disney Legend, Mark Henn.

Intimidated would be an understatement sitting in the presence of the man responsible for most of my happy childhood. 39 years as Disney animator builds an impressive resume – including the animation behind some of the most notable Disney characters like Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, and Tiana to more recent work like Big Hero 6, mini Maui in Moana and the “comfy princess scene” in Ralph Breaks the Internet.

But with a soft voice, a down-to-earth view and not an egotistical bone in his body, Disney Animator Mark Henn gave us so much more than a drawing lesson. Beyond the pencil strokes and my 50 million erasure marks, I learned about why it takes a lot more than talent to reach your dreams. Read on for our exclusive interview, see how I did in our drawing lesson and catch the genius at work on video.

Looking to step up your Mulan Disneybound game? Here’s Mulan Disneybounding Done Right & Under $50! May contain commissioned links.

Mulan Disneybound

Mulan Disneybounding Done Right & Under $50

Now that the Disney Creator Days announcement is out there, I have begun the real work – what the heck am I going to wear for a week of Disney awesomeness? Curating looks for a whole family for “the gram” can be really overwhelming, especially when there’s so much pressure to get the photos just right. So when I started to research Mulan Disneybounding (aka Google) for a Disney Cruise dinner look, I was sorely disappointed. While there were certainly results popping up, I honestly didn’t feel like any of the Mulan Disneybound attempts really did my favorite Disney princess justice.

She kicked butt, saved China and looked amazing at the same time – ya know?

So when I committed to do a Disney Character Couture makeover at Walt Disney World (yes, that post is coming soon), I knew I had to nail the look. HAD TO. It’s time to put this out in the interwebs, folks. Mulan Disneybounding done right – and under budget for less than $50. Add free shipping and BOOM. Let’s get down to business, shall we?

Hello Disney Creator Days! Goodbye Social Media Moms?

What is Disney Creator Days? And is this goodbye for Disney Social Media Moms? This post is sponsored by Walt Disney World. All magical opinions are my own.

Hello Disney Creator Days! Goodbye Social Media Moms?

I am not strong when it comes to video. There were a lot of things that I said recently in a video about Disney Creator Days and Disney Social Media Moms. But there were also a lot of things that I didn’t say. Kicking myself, I realized that I am writer first and foremost. So, we need to clear the air.

If you’re a Disney lover like me, I’m sure the announced “hiatus” for Disney Social Media Moms for 2019 came as a shock. I admit that I was sad that Walt Disney World wasn’t offering another year of social media conferencing – it’s a time when I REALLY enjoy what I do as a blogger. But as with any change in this business, Disney made some changes too. And I don’t blame them. It’s a lot of work to put on a huge Disney conference for upwards of 150-200 influencers and their families. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.

So while I wallowed a bit in my sadness, a curious email popped into my inbox before the end of 2018. At first, I thought it was spam and almost hit delete. But I read it, reread it (ok maybe there were a few more rereads in there) and finally confirmed.

Disney Creator Days.
