5 Minutes for Mom 2014 Ultimate Blog Party!

Hi and welcome to Disney Mamas!  Angela and I created Disney Mamas in early 2013 as an outlet for our Disney passion.  We needed a place to share our stories, planning tips, and memories with others, as well as a place to just have some fun.  After a few months of planning DisneyMamas.com was born, and we have been having fun ever since!  Our ultimate goal is to be a positive place where we can provide valuable information to those planning trips to Disney Destinations, while promoting a sense of belonging to our readership.

Welcome to our little slice of the Internet! Disney Mamas is a blog where we share our passion for Disney Destinations, entertainment, planning tips and more.

Over the past few months we have seen a steady increase in traffic here on DisneyMamas.com and on our Facebook page, and we are loving the opportunity to share our passion with everyone who stops by!  Because of this, we wanted to take a few moments to let you all know who we are and what we are all about.

 

Ultimately, Angela and I are here to be a helping hand as you plan a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or a Disney Cruise.  We also want to inspire you to try new things, entertain you with our stories and memories, share our opinions of family films, products and experiences, and connect with you as fellow travellers, parents and Disney fans.

Who We Are

As I stated above, we are Lin and Angela, good friends who came together over a Disney discussion at a travel agency networking meeting a few years ago and really hit it off.  Though we live in opposite parts of Texas, Angela in Houston and me (Lin) in Dallas, we manage to keep our friendship strong and our kiddos and husbands have become fast friends.

My 4-year old son, Connor, thinks that Angela’s kids (9-year old Logan and 4-year old Jessica) are absolutely the best, and he “loves Jess with all his heart”.  We secretly hope they get married someday, but don’t tell them that.  Connor is also very jealous of Logan’s mad Disney Infinity skills, and thinks of Logan like a big brother.

Our kids having fun on the Disney Wonder!

Angela is the owner of Once Upon a Time Vacations, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner Travel Agency.  Besides being a small business owner, she is PTO president and a crazed football fan (Go Texans!).  She loved Mickey Mouse, Mickey Pretzels and Pirates of the Caribbean.  She is also a gamer, with particular interest in Disney Minecraft and Disney Infinity, quite the pin trader, and a Disney Vacation Club Member.

I am a high school technical theatre teacher, scenic designer, amateur baker, T-Ball mom and Baseball fan (Go Rangers!), and an agent of Once Upon a Time Vacations.  I love Mickey Mouse, Snow White and Eeyore, and would do almost anything for a Dole Whip.  I can’t play video games to save my life, so I spend my time sketching, painting and baking cupcakes.  I am also a Disney Vacation Club Member.  When I grow up I want to be an Imagineer.

We love being moms, wives and bloggers, and we so appreciate this opportunity to share a little about ourselves with all of you.  Making new blogging friends is something we truly treasure!

      Okay this is why I signed up with #UBP14 so I can find blogs like yours! I had a #disneyside party last month and now all my kids talk about is WHEN ARE WE GOING TO DISNEYLAND. I’m always saying… we can’t too expensive. However, we do want to go soon- before they grow up.

    Hi There!

    My name is Lin and I’m the founder and heart behind DisneyMamas.com. I’m so glad you stopped by!

    My precious family

    A Disney fan from birth,  I’ve made more than two dozen pilgrimages to my second home, Walt Disney World, with a handful of visits to Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line thrown in for good measure. Currently, I reside 1,162 miles from the World near Dallas, TX.

    My usually willing, lifelong travel partner & husband is Chris, who’s Disney fandom is growing with every trip. Together we are raising two Disney-nuts-in-training: Connor and Logan. Connor’s passion of the moment is playing Sorcerer’s of the Magic Kingdom. Logan just wants to share your snack and ride it’s a small world.

    Besides moming and blogging, I’m is also a high school theatre teacher by day and Disney and Universal travel agent by night for Once Upon a Time Vacations.
