I had hoped to blog and get some work done in the evenings, but I am wiped out! Totally exhausted. So, I’m taking the easy way out tonight and sharing the Whrrl story about this mornings events at the Disney Social Media Mom Celebration. First up this morning was a breakfast with marketing guru and Twitter mega-star Guy Kawasaki. He was entertaining and informative, and I admit much more enjoyable than I expected.
Next up was an event to celebrate extraordinary volunteers from across the country. Disney has declared 2010 the year to Celebrate Volunteers and they’re giving an incentive to get out and get active in your community. This year, when you “Give a Day, you Get a Disney Day.” That means, when you spend one day helping a participating charity you receive a free one day pass to any Disney park. And, of course, you get all the personal satisfaction that comes with volunteer work. It’s a pretty neat program and so far this year over 600,000 people have committed to one day of service!
We ended the evening with a dinner under the stars featuring some Disney Channel stars. Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato sang a new song for the Friends for Change campaign called “Make a Wave.”
Oh, and in between everything official, we rode the “The Seas with Nemo and Friends” no less than 3 times. Preschool Boy is a tad obsessed!
Things will be back to normal “Shopping Mama” stuff when I get home. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the updates from Disney.

February 11, 2010Love your update! Enjoy Disney for those of us that are not there with you, but in spirit! I can see where a preschooler would be a “tad” obsessed with Nemo!
Thanks! We’re having a great time.
