You may or may not remember my initial post about being invited to the Disney Social Media Mom’s Celebration….posted about a month ago. At the time, I really didn’t know what I was in for! My goodness, what I have to officially report still isn’t much more, but what I do have to tell you is that I am excited beyond composure! We told my girls (ages 7 and 4 {on Wednesday!!}) on Saturday that we were going. We had kept the secret long enough. We were going to tell them the day before we were leaving, but my husband and I need these days to prepare. We did a little scavenger hunt, and along the way they picked up presents. They weren’t allowed to open the presents until later. The last clue was a video my husband and I made. It announced what we were doing. After the shock set in, the girls were absolutely floored…running around, screaming, etc. Here is the last clue if you want to take a peek…

I wanted to share a couple little things with you that we have received in preparation for the trip. Because that’s what we do here…share the goods!!

To start our packing, we were sent (EEK!) a new piece of luggage from American Tourister, the COLORA line. I haven’t ever had luggage from them before, but from here on out, you can be sure we will be searching them out when we are in need. The piece is an awesome orange!! Lots will fit in here. The wheels are pretty great, there are lots of pockets and there is even a great little plastic bag for the bathroom stuff!

In addition, I received a Brica goPal™ iPad Travel Case for the trip. Full review to come on this, however as little as we have used it already, we are loving it! Will be SO great for the traveling we are about to do!

Since I will be bringing two of my little princesses with me, we had to don some new hair bows…obvioulsy. Emma’s Bowtique to the rescue there. We are getting some Minnie Bows in addition to some Merida ones too!

Speaking of clothing, oh my goodness. Do you follow us on Twitter and Instagram? If so, then you saw the gorgeous, custom made outfits we got from Studio 31-Ten. EEk!! I can’t wait to put these on the girls!!

Last, we were invited to a pretty special ceremony while we are down there. Nothing better to celebrate with a diving new princess dress for my girls. I have had My Fancy Princess on SIMPLE before. But I have two gorgeous dresses that we received today that will be what my girls are wearing for the Merida inauguration! Full post to follow after the trip!
