This past weekend I attended the Disney Social Media Moms Conference. I was honored to be invited! What made this year’s conference extra thrilling was that it fell over the weekend of Princess Merida’s coronation! We were all invited to attend this prestigious event.
Standing in front of Cinderella’s castle as Merida rode in on her horse was quite a site!
Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas (my pal from 2 weeks ago!) and her mom were on hand for the coronation as you can see above with Merida and her mom, Queen Elinor. It was very exciting and a little emotional, I am just a big sap! Merida is one of the few Princesses that my son can relate to as she is tough, and rides and fights with the best of them. I have been reading about some controversy that as an inducted Princess Merida became too feminine, my son and I agree, a girl with a bow is a tough character! I don’t get the issue, but I can tell you that she has earned my son’s respect!
Lastly, here are all 11 Princesses posing together for a final picture with Gabby and her mom. It was a very moving ceremony, I am honored to have been invited!
Disclosure: I attended this event as a guest of Walt Disney World. I paid a conference fee and received free park tickets, some lodging and some meals. All opinions are always 100% honest and my own. I was not required to write this post as part of my conference attendance. Also, the top 2 photos and the video are courtesy of Disney.
And of course!
Very AWESOME. I IG stalked you during your entire trip. Looks like you and your family had a great time. That’s so cool that you were there for her coronation. I love all the Princesses together on one stage. Look at sexy Jasmine over there.
JEALOUS 🙂 My son loves Princess Meridas too – in her words she’s a tough girl so she’s cool, mom! Out of the mouths of 5 year olds, huh?
That’s SOOO AWESOME!!!! I haven’t been to WDW yet but hubby and I are planning to go in 2 years!
How awesome!! I was at the Brave premiere last year and got to meet Merida at Disneyland – what a thrill. She is one fabulous princess!
That is so cool! You look fantastic!
You get to do the best stuff! Love Merida and that pic of you both is awesome!
Wow, who can say they’ve been to a coronation? That is just the coolest experience for you; wow!!!!
It was so good to see you there Mitch!!! It was so fun!!!!
Sounds like you had an amazing time! Thanks so much for sharing.
that would have been such a fun event to attend! sounds like you had a blast!
Glad to see they included Aurora-she has been left out more and more involving Disney Princess everything, especially merch.
SUPER COOL! I grew up in CA and got to go to Disney all the time. I wish we still lived there so my girls could go
