Let the Memories Begin!

Disney's done it again! They have come up with one of the most 'memorable' campaign yet!  Digital age here we are!  So...what is it?  


Well they are going to project actual Disney Park guest memories through pictures, and videos that anyone can upload to their site, on both the Disneyland's iconic It's a Small World ride, and Walt Disney World's Cinderella's Castle! (I was close with my last post! Cinderella's castle at night!) 
 
Grab some tissues that darn Disney music gets me every time...and I live here!

Start uploading your Disney memories at disneyparks.com now!


Oh and the announcement had some other info that I thought this site spelled out pretty well here, just scroll down to the end for Disney’s new 2011 campaign: Let the Memories Begin, excitement!

"Please stand clear of the doors...Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas."

 

Why we love the Monorail:

Its free

Peaceful during the middle of the day

Can put my baby (okay toddler) to sleep

Awesome views and

People say the darndest things in there, its fun to pretend that we're one of the fellow "vacationers" and have them 'tell us' what to do at Disney, like where the best deals are, rides, and restaurants...silly people little do they know... ;)

Oh and best of all this:

 "Please stand clear of the doors...Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas."

and maybe Jacob always says that last part with his most cheesy Spanish accent possible...maybe. 

Walt Disney World Secret #72

Jacob and I went on a date tonight for like the first time in a long time - it was so nice we went to a place called DISNEY QUEST... we made songs, played virtual reality games, designed a roller coaster to ride, and just so many other things! A couple of the rides made us queasy especially me, but over all it was a GREAT DATE!

We did however decide that this place was definitely for the young at heart and for young boys like under ten. It was a video arcade pushed to the limits, and was completely over the top cool with new inventions and ideas of design. We met some really great people while in line from all over the world. Most of them were dads with their young sons spending one-on-one times together. I think that if you are looking for ways to get your pre-teens and young ones to have some bonding time, this is definitely a place where YOU will become the COOLEST PARENTS if you brought your kids there. Also, you would be the coolest date too! Lots of fun to be had here!

p.s. picture of my handsome husband in the car at the parking lot in Downtown Disney where Disney Quest is located. It cost extra to go to Disney Quest, but parking is free! It's an all day pass and five floors of extra gaming fun!

***UPDATE!****

I forgot my MOMMY NOTES: There are unfortunately NO STROLLERS allowed in Disney Quest, so our little one had to play with friends instead. There are however games to play for little ones in a designated area that is nice! It is fairly dark inside, and many rides might be too scary for youngsters. There are also many height limitations for the more instance rides as well.

Walt Disney World Secret #47 - Space Mountain Updated

Space Mountain has just recently as of November 2009 had a re-opening with new features throughout not only the ride, but the LINE too!  There are now interactive games to play while you're walking up to your rocket seats.  Its the kind of game where everyone in line can play and get into it as long as the line isn't moving too fast!

Mommy note:
There is a great little couch that you can wait with your little ones for your party at the end of the ride. Also with the use of Disney's gift to parents and grandparents: "child swap", you can "swap" out your child with your spouse/party and get a fastpass type ticket that works for not only you but three others in your party!

To get a "child swap" ticket, all you need to do is go to a "cast member" who is standing in front of the "fastpass" line, and show them your youngster.  They will then give you the pass, and any specific directions from there!

Here in the picture above is of my little one experimenting with standing up while balancing up against the wall, (next to that couch) while we wait for daddy and a friend to get off the ride. Cool lighting effect don't you think?
