Disney Social Media Mom Conference (WDW)

IMG_2401 IMG_2406 IMG_9694

My favorite of the hotel décor-                 I met a great guy there                 Suz & I take the chandelier photo.

I love a good conference. I love the opportunity to learn and meet new people is so valuable to what I do. And to attend the Disney Social Media Mom conference was made even more special since it was held at the glorious, and Disney’s fanciest Grand Floridian hotel at Walt Disney World.

We listened as amazing speakers like Matt Jacobson from Facebook and Chris Brogan. (watch my interview with Mr. Brogan here)  took the stage along with other performers. We learned, we laughed and it was all good. I would mention all the geat people I met here…if I could remember. I am simply terrible at names/urls etc. My apologies. So how about some photos?

Continuing my series of photos of hotel-rooms-that-I-forgot- to- take- until- I- already- messed- up- my- room… here is the lovely room at the GF. And the VIEW. Is that not a stellar sunrise?

Exciting new Annie Leibovitz Disney Portraits Featuring Celebrities in Disney Roles

 

I adore this concept. Bringing previously animated characters to life, literally.

And using well known celebrities and the worlds most stellar portrait photographer too.

I was thrilled Disney gave me permission to post some of the behind the scenes photographs as well…I would have given anything to be on the set!

Especially with Queen Latifah. I adore her and her Size 12+ goodness.
