The Magic of Photo Editing #DisneySMMC

Remember when Tracey shared some inspiring photography tips at the Disney Social Media Moms On the Road event in Phoenix? That was awesome. Needless to say, she gets lots of questions about how she edits her photos (most specifically her iPhone photos) and so she came up with an idea. She figured she'd share her quick and easy editing process in 3 minute videos. She's really committed to the quick and easy part!

Tracey talks a little bit about the video series on her blog and she's going to add the videos as she makes them to her website. So, if you're looking to elevate your everyday Disney inspired photos (or any photos for that matter) with a little editing magic, you might want to check it out.

Hooray for magic!

Bonus points if you can tell us where this photo was taken (answer before you watch the video).

What are your favorite Disney treats? Something tells us Tracey might be persuaded to "test" out your sweet ideas for a future video!

Disney Parks Easter Egg Hunt 2016

Get EGG-cited!

The Disney Egg-stravaganza has returned to Disneyland park, Disney California Adventure park, Epcot and newly added Downtown Disney District! From March 2 – 27, 2016, you’ll be able to search for special hidden eggs at some of your favorite Disney parks. Your family will have so much fun on this one-of-a-kind egg hunt! Look up, look down, look all around to find them, some are harder to see than others. Each egg is a Disney character and a little bigger than the size of a football. Once you find an egg, place the corresponding sticker on the map to represent each location. There are different map choices (depending on which park) and several plastic egg surprizes that you can "win" at the end. (One prize per purchase, but you may play/pay multiple times and get multiple egg prizes.) The good news is you can receive your egg surprise whether you choose to hunt for the eggs or not. YAY! When you are ready, return your map to one of the designated park locations: Disney Showcase in Disneyland park, at Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure park; World of Disney Store at Downtown Disney District or the Port of Entry in Epcot.

It's all part of the Disney magic of springtime. We can't wait to go back and do it again! Remember all the fun we had during the 2015 Easter Egg Hunt? You can purchase the maps including stickers for $5.95 (plus tax.) There are no discounts and they will only be sold until they run out. *Redemption valid through April 2, 2016 or until supplies last.*

We thought you'd enjoy our photos (& hints) of where to find some of this year's eggs inside Disneyland park.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
