A Mom Blogger Conference AT Disney World that INCLUDES your family!!! How GREAT is that?!?!
Oh and the most magical part?
Can you imagine paying only $350 for a conference, hotel AND Disney Theme park passes for your family???
Yes, it is only $350 for the your conference fee that INCLUDES hotel, sessions, select meals, AND theme park tickets for you and 3 family members! I know!!! ALL of that for $350 — it is as magical as Mickey himself. 🙂
Here is the info:
A Magical Place to Learn and Network!
The Walt Disney World Resort near beautiful Orlando, Florida is the setting for this first ever, family-friendly social media conference for moms. You’ll experience special events, conference sessions and private parties taking place across the 40-square mile entertainment complex. You’ll have a chance to experience the fun and fantasy of Walt Disney World while hearing from captivating speakers such as Chris Brogan, Guy Kawasaki, Maxine Clark, MaryEllen Hooper, and more.
Your $350 conference fee provides you a hotel room for Feb. 10, 11 & 12 at Walt Disney World, conference sessions, Theme Park tickets for you and up to 3 family members during the conference, and select meals for the conference attendee.

Saturday, February 13, 2010* Departure Day
Wednesday, February 10, 2010We are beyond excited about this unique, hybrid mom/family conference at Walt Disney World! And we are honored to be co-hosting the event with Walt Disney World, Resourceful Mommy Media, Mom Bloggers Club and Mom Select.
UPDATED TO ADD:
By the way, you do NOT need to bring your family.
There will be several of us moms who are not bringing our families and we’ll have a great time hanging out together and enjoying some fun mom-ME time. So, if you aren’t able to afford to bring your family, or you just want to enjoy some time with blogging friends, you can hang out with Christine, me (Susan) and others.
IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND:
If you are interested in attending, please email us at 5minutesformom at gmail dot com with DISNEY CONFERENCE in the subject line and we will send your email on to Disney.
We’ll be tweeting about the conference with #DisneySMMoms
UPDATE: The conference is now full, as of January 11th, 2010. If you are absolutely desperate to attend, email us and we can try and get you added to the wait list.
Please Note: We are co-hosting this event with WDW. We will however not be earning any money from this conference or from conference fees. We just adore Disney and are thrilled to be involved with this innovative conference. Susan and my travel and conference fees are covered by Disney, but our travel for our families is not included, in case you are really curious. 🙂

Those numbers are having a huge effect on the Mexican economy.
With an online discussion, you get that politician uncensored (to a degree).
With each new job, the hospital may require you to pass a competency exam or they can terminate your employment, for those
who do not test well, this can be very stressful.
Jenn Calling Home says
How did this conference turn out? Will they be doing it again next year?
Alexandra says
how fun!! wish I could be there! hopefully another one will be planned for next year 🙂
Michelle says
It is T-15 hours for me right now… and the snow is still coming down in Chicago. I am SO excited to go, and the wee ones don’t know about it yet. Fingers crossed we make it there. Can’t wait to meet all the people.
JL Knopp says
I’m beyond ecstatic about attending this conference. I will be leaving my precious kiddos at home due to having more family members than are included in the price, but I’m am looking forward to the Mom-ME time (as ya’ll so aptly put it). There will be so many incredible women there. My hope is that I’ll be able to form some incredible friendships without distraction.
Tickled Pink Twice says
How long is the waiting list? Can I get on? This would be a wonderful trip for the family and I’d get to go to a conference, which I’ve been dying to do.
Tishia Lee says
Does anyone know if they are going to do this again next year? I would love to find out about it ahead of time for next year if they do it so I can plan for it!

I’m sorry I can’t make it this year! I love the idea of attending a Disney-sponsored conference…and including the whole family is positively brilliant! I hope more conferences follow suit.
Have a wonderful time! I can’t wait to read your re-cap of the event.
P.S. I hope the next conference is at DisneyLAND. I love that place…and it would be much more doable for an Arizona mama like me! 🙂
Rachel says
Serious?!? It’s not full?? I *just* saw this and would’ve gone IN A HEARTBEAT!!!! Seriously!!! Darn it! How do I get on a wait list???
Toni says
Sort of upsetting that I didn’t receive the requested info until the day the conference booked up. 🙁 oh well.

Do you know when the info is going to be sent out? Last night, I was looking into getting an extra night at the resort so we can fly in the day before – the rate was $267 per night and OVERNIGHT it went up to $411! Every day is costing us more so I hope the info comes soon.
Tamara Walker "MomRN" says
Just talked with hubby and we are interested in going and bringing the kids. Sent the email to get more info. How do we register? Is there more info available now or do we have to wait to find out if there are still spaces available?
Hoping we can go!!!

Thinking this might be a really fun event to attend. Looking forward to more info! (I sent you an email… 🙂
Lisa says
I’m so excited about this conference! This will be my first social media event and I can’t wait to meet all of you other bloggers. This will also be the first trip to Disney for my girls. They’ve been begging to go since we adopted them and are absolutely thrilled that we’re finally going!

Lissete says
Sent you an email! This sounds like so much fun. I started my blog as a way to keep family & friends informed, plus my own personal journal per se. I’m thinking of changing the direction of my blog, or maybe just starting a new one. This may be just the boost that I need.
Jen says
I’ll actually be there already for a conference my husband will be attending. Two birds, one stone?
Have sent email to get more info. Sounds like fun!
Anitra says
This will be my first social media conference and we can’t wait to get there! My family is so excited about coming and we’ve ignored the length of the drive!
Jennifer, Snapshot says
I’m going!
And to be honest, while I always enjoy mixing and mingling with other bloggers, I am taking advantage of this as a great family vacation.
The price and perks are unbeatable!
Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing] says
Definitely thinking about it since we live here already. I just sent you an email for more info.
Rachel - Busy Mommy Media says
Do 2 year olds count as an extra person?
Lacie says
I just registered to go today. I’m soooo excited. Just wish it wasn’t so far. We’re driving from Ohio (airfare for four is simply out of the question). Can’t wait to meet everyone!
~ Lacie
Amy from Occupation: Mommy says
Do the other three people have to be family, or can they be non-blogging buddies?
Brandy says
i got a invite and would really love to go, but $350 id dtill a lot of money, that I can’t afford. Plus kids have school and hubby has grad school interviews. ugh some day i’ll go.
Bridgette says
Looking forward to attending! Rooming with other bloggers who won’t be bringing their families, either!
Mikki says
Janice!
I couldn’t wait to tell my DH about this! Even though we live only an hour away, I would love to come and take part of this AND stay at Disney!!
Kristie says
I’m going to Disney!
I am so excited to be able to do this and I look forward to meeting some of my friends in real life!
Tara says
I just made a last minute decision to attend sans kiddos. Excited to see everyone!!!
Katie says
Just finished my registration, I am so excited this is my first conference! I got my invite through Amy via a tweet she sent out yesterday. My husband is a bit skeptical thinking it’s too good of a deal, he thinks it’s a scam but I told him with big names like 5MfM involved it’s bound to be legit. Can’t wait!
Holly at Tropic of Mom says
It would be great to go!
Jendi says
I would love to go also, but money is holding us back. What happened to blogging being easy money!?! ~ROFL~
Hope you have an awesome time!
Jaina's Mom says
Thanks for the article, I sent you an email.

anne - mommy has to work says

Christine says
I am so excited about seeing some of my favorite people AND their families Most anyway… mine won’t be with me. 🙁
Naomi says
I am trying to wrangle airfare… my kids haven’t been to Disneyworld yet and this would be such a great opportunity!
Jennifer says
I am looking forward to meeting everyone who will be going 🙂
Saph says
Oh my!! This is only an hour from me and I still wouldn’t be able to do this since this is during the week! I guess I could go by myself but then would have no one to go around the parks with &have to get a babysitter.
Joanna says
I can’t wait to meet all the other bloggers there! This is my first conference and thrilled to have had the opportunity to attend.
Cathy H. says
My son with autism(I mention this because it is relevant) asks every single day to go to Disney World, but he simply doesn’t understand the concept of money and that as a family we can’t afford it, even this awesome deal. So sad and bummed. I have not attended a conference yet and would have LOVED for this to be my first!
TheAngelForever says
Hubby (TechyDad) and I will be there with our boys. So excited to be in the most Magical place on Earth again and meet so many fabulous people.
Deb - Mom of 3 Girls says
Actually it’s more than $350 if you have more than 4 people in your family. It would cost us $500 (plus travel) and as amazing of a price as that is for Disney (Disney!!!), right now it may as well be $5000 for us. I SO would love to go, and take my family but we just can’t afford it right now. I wish it were another few months out so I could have some time to try and save up. 🙁
kristin says
I cannot wait! 😀 See you there!
