Happy Throwback Thursday everyone!
First of all just let us say, how is it FEBRUARY already??? 2015 is flying by!
The beginning of every year for us has always been a time of looking back on the previous year and wishing it a fond farewell. On the other hand it's about looking ahead to the upcoming year with great hopes, dreams and goals. We have so many fond Disney memories of 2014, we wanted to revisit them one more time. Come along for the great rewind!
Oh 2014! What a year!

It had it's highs. It had it's lows. All years do. It also had it's share of Disney magic! We sure showed our #DisneySide all year long, but then again we wouldn't want it any other way!
1. Disney Play Date
We had the pleasure of joining with Big Picture Classes on a wonderful afternoon of photography and play at Disneyland Park. You can see the video of all the fun that was had by clicking this link, DISNEY PLAY DATE.
2. Disney Side Party
Last year we threw our first DISNEY SIDE TEA PARTY for our mom's Birthday! We played games, had a hidden mickey hunt, danced, sang, and sipped on tea. It was great fun and definitely a highlight. Check out these crafty ideas to inspire your own Disney Side Party.
3. Saving Mr. Banks Food Styling Lesson
If you saw Saving Mr. Banks, then you know what an awesome movie it was. It went back in time to when Walt Disney was in his prime. Everything about the film took the viewers back in time, including the food. We got a lesson in food preparation from Chef Chris Oliver at Hollywood Food Styling. Our experience was both informative and delicious, and of course we managed to create a few hidden mickeys along the way. It was a day our taste buds will never forget.
In 2014 year the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration was held on our own home turf, at the Disneyland Resort. What a thrill to experience the magic at the Park where it all began. We met new friends and reunited with old friends. We shared family memories to last a lifetime and learned a lot more about what Disney had in store for the year and beyond. It was unforgettable and belongs on this list of Disney highlights!
5. runDisney 'Fun Run'
Want to know what's it's like to run through the Disneyland Resort before the Parks open in a runDisney Race? We did too, so we did our first ever runDisney Event at DisneySMMoms. It wasn't quite a race, but it was definitely a 'Fun Run' and it was probably the biggest accomplishment of our year! Check out the video in our post.
Do you want to interview a snowman? How about the man behind the voice of the most famous snowman of all? Meeting and interviewing Josh Gad was definitely a highlight of our year. From sharing fashion tips to talking about our family summer plans, he had us laughing out loud.
Truth be told we did not make it the entire 24 hours. We never have. But sharing even just a few hours of Disney magic with each other, our mom, and thousands of other Disney fans really helped to bring out our #DisneySide even more this summer.
9. Summer Family Staycation at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa
Not only do we love to do Disney things for work, but we also enjoy doing Disney Vacations for relaxation too. This summer we spent some time at the Disneyland Resort for a few days. We soaked up the So Cal sun while staying at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa. We lounged by the pool, sipped on virgin pina-coladas, and explored every area of the glorious Hotel. What a highlight!
When Disney takes it's show on the road, you can bet we follow! We are family and as a family, we support each other. Flying to the #DisneySMMoms on the Road Event in Phoenix was so fun. But what made it even more magical was hearing our Disney Sister, Tracey Clark speak on photography and spend time with some other really fabulous women!
Check this one off the Disney bucket list. Getting a personal tour of the Walt Disney Animation Research Library was a highlight for sure. Hearing behind-the-scene stories about Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent, and all of the other Disney Classics really was special indeed.
Last but definitely not least of our 2014 highlights was meeting Noah Elias (famous Disney Artist) this year during summer Disney side party. And then to attending his Reimagine Conference truly has changed our whole perspective. With speakers like Disney Legend, Tony Baxter, how could it not?
Now you tell us, how "Disney" did you get in 2014?
