We’re boarding a plane today and leaving sunny Orlando, Florida behind us. We’re taking with us memories (and over 4000 digital photos!) of our celebration with the Disney Social Media Moms. It’s been an unbelievable experience. I must say I learned more from this conference than other social media event I’ve attended. The speakers were inspirational, the entertainment was incredible and, of course, Walt Disney World was magical! I loved being able to attend with NY and I’m hoping his brother and sister-in-law have had as wonderful a time as we have. It truly has been the trip of a lifetime since the moment we stepped off the plane.
Have you ever attended a blogging/social media conference? Which is your favorite and why? If you haven’t, do you have a ‘dream’ conference you’d like to attend?

I’ve only been to a one-day thing at SITS Bloggy Boot Camp – I was scheduled to go to BlogHer last year, but had to give up my spot because my father-in-law was dying and my dad out in Seattle had a stroke. I really want to go to BlogHer and one of the Social Media Moms events! 🙂

I haven’t been to any blogging conference or meetups as there aren’t any that I know of over here in Asia. Really envy you mums get to meet up with all the fun people.
Dee says
That looks awesome! No, I haven’t. I have a big fear of cutting the cord and actually leaving my kids! 🙂

The Social Frog says
No, I have npt been to any. I would like to sometime but since I am moving to Japan for the next 3 years, I will have to wait till I move back to the states and I am not sure which I’d like to attend.
Amy @ Coffee with the Mrs. says

Melissa R says

Debra @ A Frugal Friend says
Love that picture of you Cathi! Yes, I agree that Disney Social Media Moms is the best so far!! Not only do we learn so much amazing information, but we are inspired and have some amazing magical memories along the way! 🙂
So glad we could share it together this year!
Deborah says
No I have never attended a conference. If I were younger I might have, but not at my age.

I am going to SITS Bloggy Boot Camp in Seattle in June and can’t wait. This will be my first SM event, although I was invited to an EcoMoms Summit at Great Wolf Lodge in November and met 10 great bloggers.
My wish list…Disney or Mom 2.0
Beth @ TheAngelForever says
I think you know my answers 😉 I love, love, love the Disney Social Media Moms celebration. It was even more special seeing you there this year.
MageeMommy says
OH that would be so much fun to get to go to a conference!!!! I don’t really have a favorite dream of one to go to because I don’t know about them all but the one on cruises! wahooo! that would be great or the Disney ones! FUN!
Stephanie says
It was LOVELY chatting w/ you on the monorail. Thanks again for extending grace to me and my overtired 2-year-old. 😉
I’m curious: What other conferences/events have you attended?
Stephanie says
I remember that “sand sign” well. 🙂
My favorite aspect of the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration is how inclusive the conference is to the whole family.
This year, I’ll be attending Bloggy Boot Camp in Scottsdale and the Mom 2.0 Summit in Laguna Niguel.
The TMS Family Travel Conference looks appealing too, but it’s in Niagara Falls (quite a ways from Arizona). 😉 http://www.tmsfamilytravel.com

I almost attended Bloggy Boot Camp in San Francisco a few years ago although I don’t remember why it didn’t work out. Perhaps the distance. I really wanted to go to Mom 2.0 this year. It’s just over the mountain from where I live. Less than an hour away. Sadly, I’m not able to go. I do look forward to hearing what you have to say about it Stephanie. I trust you. I’ve only attended Blogher, Disney Social Media Moms and Type A Parent. I really don’t think I’ll ever do another BlogHer. It’s gotten way too big for me. I loved Type A Parent. It was small and all-inclusive. I’ll stick with the smaller intimate conferences from now on. And along with so many others, I’m hoping (oh so hoping!) for an invitation to Disney Social Media Moms. I wasn’t invited last year. Ha!
I can’t believe your little 2-year old Olivia is now a big sister. It truly sems like yesterday that we met at WDW and chatted amoung the crowd on the momorail. That was a lovely holiday for me. Meeting new friends, making friends with online aquaintances and spending magical time with my family.
NY and I were talking about you and your sweet family just the other day. He is officially retired from the airline. We were remembering your ‘Give Everyday’ roadtrip and thinking it would be a good thing for us to do. We’d do it in a heartbeat! Time will tell. 😉
