The Disney Blog Contest

Ok, so I'm kind of a Disney nut (mostly by association of my daughter), so I'm trying to win a fabulous prize from The Disney Blog. So, regular readers (are there any out there?), please bear with me while I answer the following questions. And if you're planning a trip to visit the Mouse any time soon (or if you just like reading about all things Disney), check out The Disney Blog at http://www.thedisneyblog.com/.


1. Have you ever celebrated your birthday at a Disney theme park? If so, tell us about it.
Well, sort of. Our last visit to Disney was about a week before my birthday in 2005. We took our oldest daughter, Reagan, for the first time and we came home with a little souvenir--we were pregnant with our second child!

2. What is your favorite or most useful tip for guests of Disney's theme parks?
I always encourage people to take their own snacks into the park--especially if you have small children. Another neat thing we did with our two-year-old is print up a label with both my husband's and my cell phone numbers on it. We put the label on Reagan's back, so that if she were to get separated from us, anyone could quickly locate us. (A little paranoid and overprotective? Perhaps.)

3. What is your favorite Disney theme park attraction or show and why?
I'm a sucker for nostalgia, so I still love "It's a Small World." But, among the newer (well, at least in the last 10 years) attractions, we love the "Beauty and the Beast" show. It's like a mini Broadway musical!

I'll update everyone if I do, in fact, win anything!

Sleeping Beauty


Reagan was playing quietly in her room--a little too quietly. When I went to check on her, this is how I found her. I guess playing dress-up can be exhausting.
