Right now I’m working on a post for Disney Voices that has me so giddy that I had to force myself to take a break and get some other work done yesterday (not to mention sleep!).  But more on that next week… In the meantime, I want to share some Disney around the web from…

While Disney vacations ideally mean disconnecting from work calls and email, for most people, they don’t mean disconnecting completely.  In fact, many of us enjoy including connectivity in our time in the parks from Foursquare check-ins… …to Instagram pics… …to periodic (or frequent) tweets. So for everyone who’s ever stood in line at Buzz Lightyear…

We are huge Disney * Pixar Monsters University fans in my house, so I was excited to find out that LeapFrog now offers two Monsters University themed learning products for kids. LeapReader™ 3D Book: The Monsters University LeapFrog book focuses on the following three learning areas – nouns and verbs, deductive reasoning, and position words….

Today I found myself in a fascinating conversation with a group of close friends, friends I thought I knew very well and whose preferences on everything from parenting to food I could probably list without much effort.  Like I often do, I shared a link to something I found fascinating today – the trailer to…

If you’re a regular Resourceful Mommy reader, you may have noticed I’ve got a bit of an obsession with all things Disney.  While my Resourceful Disney posts mostly focus on travel to Walt Disney World, the truth is that the entire resourceful family loves everything from Disney Movies to our newest favorite, Disneyland.  It should come as…

When people ask me how often I’ve been to Walt Disney World, I nervously chuckle and say that I’m not sure.  The truth is – I’m really not sure.  Disney Parks and Resorts remain my family’s favorite places to escape from it all and unplug, surrounded by the magic of Disney and time with each…

This is not a review of the new Disney Pixar film Monsters University.  You will not find any pros and cons of the film, heading to theaters June 21st.  There are no spoilers in this post.  With that said, my family and I did have the amazing opportunity to see a not-quite-ready-for-the-viewing-public version of Monsters University while attending…

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration Disney on the Road event in Washington, DC.  This one day conference brought together social media moms from around the DC Metro area to experience a little Disney magic while hearing from women entrepreneurs.  While the entire event was fantastic, the highlight…

The mission seemed impossible.  Celebrate Disney’s Monstrous Summer kick-off by visiting all three participating Disney Parks on May 24th during their special 24 hour 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. park hours.  The challenge?  One park is located in Florida.  The other two across the country in California. On Friday morning at 5:55 a.m. ET, my…

To kick off the summer season and celebrate the June opening of the new Disney film Monsters University, Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, and Disney’s California Adventure are open for 24 hours straight today!  My daughter and I have the honor of being guests of Disney Parks today for this 24 hour, all-nighter celebration. …

This post is possible due to my attendance at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, which was funded in large part by Disney.  All opinions are my own. Last Saturday my family and I had the amazing privilege of witnessing the official coronation of Merida who was welcomed as the 11th official Disney Princess. The…

There’s been some (completely ridiculous not at all important) hullabaloo about the new official Disney Princess, Merida.  I want you to meet the real Merida… This is my daughter Emma, riding a horse in a thunderstorm during our Adventures By Disney trip last summer.  Those of you who have been here before have likely already met her…

In the winter of 2008, my husband and parents and I took my children to Walt Disney World for the first time.  I had been there a few times throughout my childhood, but this was my husband’s first trip to the world.  I got to watch all three of them experience the magic for the…

On Thursday, December 6th, Walt Disney World officially welcomed New Fantasyland to the Magic Kingdom Park with a musical celebration led by actress Jennifer Goodwin and featuring musical artist Jordin Sparks.  The Resourceful Family was lucky enough to be there to take part in the festivities. Here are some of the highlights, including images from…

Earlier this week I had the honor of attending a media preview event for the New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.  Here are some of the highlights… I attended this event as a guest of Disney Parks and as such, most of my expenses related to the trip were covered by…

I’m once again joining my friend Jenn over at SuperJenn.com for her Monday’s Magical Moments link up.  Last weekend we bought and decorated this year’s Christmas tree, which would not be complete without our Disney ornaments.

My friend Jenn over at Super Jenn has started something she calls Monday Magical Moments. She is not only a Disney nut like me, but she is also an amazing photographer. I have been meaning to join her bloggy theme for a couple of weeks now, but am finally getting around to sharing one of my…

It’s November! I am finding myself both disappointed and relieved that 31 Days of Disney has come to an end. I loved the idea of it, but in reality, blogging about the same topic every day while keeping up with other writing and work obligations was a bit challenging. Thankfully I blog about Disney often…

Rainbow over Fantasyland

Over the weekend we spent some time carving pumpkins to distract from preparing for Hurricane Sandy. My son wanted anyone from Disney’s Phineas and Ferb, and my daughter requested Tinker Bell. We found a variety of Disney inspired pumpkin carving templates at Disney’s Family.com, including one for Tinker Bell and one for Phineas. While it…
