Play :: Show Your Disney Side!

“I received free products in order to host the Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own.”

There is just something about walking through the gates at Disneyland that makes me feel like I am 7 years old again! I am usually rushing through the entrance as I can’t wait to ride the roller coasters – Space Mountain is one of our favorites, and take a ride through Pirates of the Carribean for the 100th time. It has been so wonderful sharing Disneyland with my daughter and we have had season passes since she was old enough to walk. Last year my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told him “Season passes to Disneyland of course!” I feel it is worth the money since we stop by Disneyland any chance we get. If she is out of school early one day – guess where we are headed to? I could be having a bad day (or week) and the minute I walked through those gates I can’t help but cheer up and forget about the day-to-day things that come with life and just enjoy myself with my daughter. It is a special place for us. Check out our latest adventure on Space Mountain. My daughter is pretty fearless when it comes to the roller coasters. Me… not so much!

Show Your Disney Side with a Party!

I was so exited to find out that dandelion moms was chosen out of thousands of mom bloggers to host a Disney Side Home Celebration. Basically what Disney is asking is for people to share their Disney Side. You know, you have your “normal” side that takes care of the family, bills, school work, etc., and then you have your fun-loving “Disney Side”. The side that likes to be goofy and a kid again and just be in the moment. That is what being a dandelion parent is all about! Be present and enjoy the journey. We are planning on having our guests show up in their favorite Disney character outfits and will be offering some yummy Disney-inspired treats.

As part of the Disney Side celebration – Mom Select and Disney sent us a box filled with HP photo card packs, Disney plates, napkins and cups, tablecloth and banner, Disney tattoos and stickers, Disney cookie cutters and cupcake wrappers, 6-pack of Craisins Dried Cranberries and coupons, measuring cups and recipe cards from ABC’s The Chew, Minnie and Mickey posters to hand out to our guests and even a American Tourister Luggage that came in my favorite color – purple!

As a kid I just loved going to our yearly Disneyland trip and am so thankful I can share that wondrous experience with my daughter. Last week we visited for a quick trip and ran into the Mad Hatter. Disneyland really does bring out the kid in all of us!
