SV Mommy Bloggers Mix-It-Up With Mickey

Silicon_valley_moms_blog_disney_p_2 What is a mommyblogger? When I answer this question, I usually say that, while no two are really the same—working out of the home, staying at home, liberal, conservative, big kids, little kids—they all go through their days with their eyes wide open, taking mental notes about what happens around them and how they are reacting to it. And that they know that they are not likely to be alone in their reactions; they are representing moms everywhere. They are not the type to keep their opinions to themselves; they’ll tell people what they think, whether those people are reading their blog, or standing in line in front of them at the grocery store.

These qualities, it seems, is why companies love to meet mommybloggers. They want to tell us what they’re doing, they want to know what we think, they want us to share our honest experiences with others. And we’re happy to do so. Which is what we did with Disneyland Resorts in Silicon Valley on Sunday afternoon; Disney reached out to Silicon Valley Moms Blog, hosting an exclusive event for our contributing bloggers and their families. The Disney folks wanted to show us what they call the Disney magic, they told us about new attractions coming into the parks, and wanted our feedback about all sorts of things, while Mickey and Minnie and Cinderella and Buzz Lightyear entertained our kids. The attention to detail was amazing. Mickey-shaped pasta for the kids, castle cookies to decorate, a Disney artist on sketch duty, Disney tunes playing in the background, a little stage set to place each character in their own Disney world, character-shaped mints in the bathroom, and mouse ears for all; that’s what it takes to bring a piece of Disneyland north. And watching the children, you knew that it completely succeeded; these kids on Sunday visited Disneyland, don’t try to tell them they never left Silicon Valley.

But we’ll let our individual bloggers give you the details......
