Snaps to Disney Social Media Celebration On-The-Road New York City

Blog· DISney· Entertainment· MOVE

This year’s Disney Social Media Celebration On-The-Road New York City brought highlights of #AwakenSummer. Along with,a big anniversary for Disney Parks Blog Jenn Fickley-Baker! Participants heard Pinterest strategies galore, how to achieve blogging success with your kids, and… good golly, Snapchat. Say what?!

As PTA President I spent five years crusading AGAINST this evil app. I rallied against the ultimate tool for tween and teen bullying. It had been a proven vehicle for sharing questionable video images that survived for ten seconds. And then disappeared forever.  It cruelly left behind no evidence of its content.  I forbid my own boys from opening an account until college.  They eventually forgave me, but may not now.  Mama’s got a Snapchat account.

On the morning of March 30, 2016, Disney Parks Social Media Director Leanne O’Regan opened the show for the fifth iteration of Disney Social Media Celebration On-The-Road.

I was anticipating Disney Parks Pixie Dust and insight into social media mechanics.  I was NOT prepared for this:

Snapchat

In 2014, Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort added Snapchat accounts to their social media storytelling. We all know that the Disney brand and creativity go together, hand in four-fingered-glove. Impressed by the level of user creativity, Disney Parks promoted their accounts during the Rock Your Disney Side 24-hour event.  Success!  Text, drawings, and filters enhanced and personalized their Disney Parks experience.  Now, with the addition of  Geofilters (location-specific overlays), Guests can locate and create their own unique “postcards” throughout the parks.  Sounds like a magical treasure hunt to me.  (Pokemon, be darned.)

Snaps to my friend Lisa at Adventures in Familyhood for this photo!

If it was good enough for Walt…  I set up my account.  Yes, it’s yet another social media channel, but one that isn’t designed for comments, likes, or shares.  Well isn’t that liberating?!  With the addition of Snapchat “Stories,” users can preserve their images and video for 24-hours; more my speed.  At approximately 8 BILLION video views per day, it would be foolish not to give it a stab.  If it builds community, I’m in.  (Don’t worry my sons, I will not be intruding on your Snapchat space.)

So much to learn, so much magic shared…

Thanks again Lisa!

Join me on Snapchat @DIStherapy and watch me (attempt) to share Walt Disney World Resort with you on September 15th!!

As always, I send my heartfelt gratitude to Leanne, Jenn, and the entire Disney Parks team.  You make the big boss proud!
**  I received magical invitations to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration “On-The-Road” events and was admitted free of charge.  This magical re-creation comes purely from the heart!

Looking for must-do family projects during the hol Looking for must-do family projects during the holidays? @ColonialWmsburg is an outdoor venue full of evolving history and detail. 

Visit their newest archeological dig- uncovering the site of one of the oldest Black churches in America. Here free and enslaved Christians came to worship during Revolutionary times at the First Baptist Church. 

A step back into Christmastide- 18th Century style- might be particularly appropriate this year. #ColonialWilliamsburg #Virginia #Christmastide #Americanhistory

My last NY to FL road trip was in 1975. At that ti My last NY to FL road trip was in 1975. At that time, between Philadelphia and this destination there were miles and miles of billboards along I-95 (believe it or not, there are far fewer today- in the 70s, they numbered 250!!). Naturally, we were COMPELLED to stop here. Early social media at its best...

South of the Border was originally built on the North Carolina/South Carolina border in 1949 as a Beer Depot (NC was at that time a dry state). They capitalized on their location once again in 1962, when they started selling their now- “famous” fireworks (also then illegal in NC). Which is why this memory is such a standout for my family.

My brother NEEDED a stash of fireworks. Just what a kid from Queens craves? In the middle of August, and though we were not yet close to our destination, my parents caved. Those fireworks sat in the trunk of the family Impala (no air conditioning, mind you), and we proceeded to drive to Walt Disney World. Where the car sat, in the parking lot, on the blacktop, in near 100 degree temps, for over a week. How we didn’t cause a massive explosion at Disney’s Polynesian Village is a miracle that can’t be explained. Pixie Dust, perhaps?

Here’s to nostalgia folks. #I95 #SouthoftheBorder #fireworks #familymemories #itwasmybrother

My favorite part of owning the Marriott Bonvoy car My favorite part of owning the Marriott Bonvoy card? That annual free night. We strategically saved it for the @RitzCarltonAmeliaIsland. Located just 30 miles from Jacksonville, this barrier island was well worth the detour. And the Ritz? This property lives up to the name.

Though we just this once broke our “no elevators “ rule (we held our masked breath 😆) the Ritz-Carlton brand is one I trust for safety. #businesstravel #RitzCarlton #MarriottBonvoy #MarriottCleanlinessCouncil

In the 1970s, my family was one of the final check In the 1970s, my family was one of the final check-ins at this landmark resort built by Standard Oil’s Henry Flagler. Though the Hotel Ponce de León had long lost its luster, the memory is still a nostalgic gem to us. 

Thankfully, the structure (and its Tiffany-stained glass windows) survived as @FlaglerCollege. Unfortunately, tours have been suspended due to COVID-19. I won’t wait another 50 years to return. 😉 #USNationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #HistoricStAugustine #Florida

I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since @St I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since @StLouisCathedral on Ash Wednesday, but I masked up to say a quick prayer inside this oratory.

Built as the centerpiece of Ave Maria University and planned community,  this Gothic steel and stone structure was designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s students. Minimalist with the exception of the exquisite 30-foot sculpture depicting the Annunciation on its facade. 

Inspiration. #AveMaria #oratory #Florida #middleofnowhere
