Disney Side Party



We got to show our #DisneySide last week. What a blast.  Check out when we opened our box in my previous post.



 
Even Mickey joined the party.

Mom why are my toys on the table?
We celebrated all things Disney with some great themed snacks and fun with friends. To put our fun ESPN cards to use we asked the children if they could be magical like Disney (#DisneyMagic), what would their magic powers be? The answers were quite cute!

What's your #DisneyMagic??

Disney Side at Home Celebrations

I recently was chosen to host a Disney Side at Home Celebration!! Disney sent their chosen hosts a fun filled party pack to explore all they have to offer and celebrate the fun of that magical place. Check back here in early March for my post detailing our fun party! For those of you asking, here is what our party pack entailed. I took a bunch of pictures f the boys opening our box but somehow they were deleted from our memory card before I saved them.


Luggage for the hosts!! Isn't the color awesome?!?!

Mickey artwork for all guests!

Trip planning DVD, calendars for all guests, recipe card

Luggage tag and 'Story'  iphone case (there is a related app)

I received this party pack for free in order to host my own at home Disney celebration!

Disney

This past weekend was Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom that we won tickets to. We took our good friend Ben and his girlfriend. Besides it feeling very much like winter, we had a great time.



Nolan was a champ and rode with us on numerous rides. He was mesmerized by the It's a Small World ride, had fun spinning on the tea cups, flew high on Dumbo and Aladdin's carpet, and even nursed on the Haunted Mansion ride.

....Tim forgot he was filming and turned the camera at the end. I haven't had a chance to use our software to edit that part yet!

Nolan fell asleep at about 9:15 and slept through the fireworks amazingly. he woke up pretty upset and we had to visit the baby care center to warm up a bit. I put him in the ERGOBaby carrier and zipped him under my coat where he slept through the late night parade too. He awoke just in time to leave the park and take the very windy and chilly tram ride to our car. He has a fun stuffed Mickey to remember his first Disney trip!

We won't mention just how horrible it is to have a poor sleeping 14mo old in a hotel room!

Happy, but disappointed!

I should be really excited but I can't help but be a little disappointed. I won 4 tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas at Disney World! I'm sure you're asking, "how could she possibly be disappointed?" Well here is what happened.

I've spent the past two weeks entering a contest on our local MomsLikeMe forum to win 4 tickets to Disney's Christmas special, 2 nights in a Disney resort, and a $100 gift card to spend while there. Basically in order to enter enough times to have a shot at winning I spent about 30 minutes online every night after putting Nolan to bed. That's a lot of my free time!! I figured it would all be worth it though if I won!

The email I received telling me I could pick up the tickets at the local news station said I had won 4 tickets but didn't mention the other parts of the prize package. I re-read the official rules and indeed more than just the tickets was offered. When I went to pick up the prize, all I was handed was four tickets that are only good on one specific night and a Sunday night at that.

I asked the person in charge of the contest about the other parts of the prize package and she said that she had made a mistake and they were supposed to go with a second contest being run for Disney annual passes. The rules for that contest don't mention anything about a giftcard or hotel nights being offered. I understand mistakes but suddenly the prize is waaaaay less valuable. It seems like a mistake was made but since it was listed that way they should be offered with this contest.

I'm trying not to feel greedy but it's really hard!! You can't run a contest for a prize then only give away a third of it!
