Don’t hate me, but I am heading out in April to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration Conference. If you haven’t heard all the drama this is a conference where only 150 bloggers were invited to attend. It actually is more of a brand event since I consider a conference something open to all. This is the third year and I have been fortunate to attend both previous years. The first year the conference was invite only but you just had to email someone to get an invite. I happened to see it in a newsletter and requested one. Low and behold I got an invite just over a month before the conference! We had a great time at Disney Social Media Moms 2010! Then in 2011 the event was again exclusive where at a certain time everyone raced against the clock to register and crossed their fingers that they were accepted. My family and I again had a great time at Disney Social Media Moms 2011!
So this year invites went out in January and I was not on the list. I was bummed but since I was fortunate to attend the previous two years I was happy for everyone else. I followed along on twitter through #DisneySMMoms and Facebook. Then on Facebook last Thursday one of my friends posted that she just got an invite that went to her spam folder. So Friday night at 11pm I decided I’d check my spam folder just in case, and buried in my 981 spam emails was a Disney invite! So this past weekend I have been scrambling like crazy to work on details on where we will stay, since we are stayed past the conference, money and what else we will do there. I was so excited I was up until 5am wired with thoughts!
I will definitely be sharing everything I learn and experience when we get back though!
So even though we have been to Disney World before, I am looking for ideas/suggestions/anything we should check out!?

No, I do not hate you I am just JEALOUS hopefully one day I will be invited to a event like this and God willing I will have the funds to be able to attend the event.
Cher says
It is an amazing opportunity and it was definitely a stretch for us since we only have 2 months to plan and save! Still have no clue how I got invited but I’ll take it!
