I have been a Walt Disney fan ever since I was a little girl. I actually moved to the Central Florida area in 1986. My early early memories were of Disneyland in California since I was born in southern California. I remember attending Walt Disney World for the first time 2 years later for the Mickey Mouse’s 60th Birthday Celebration. I remember vividly my 3rd grade teacher asking us to raise our hands if we had never been to WDW before. Only me and another classmate were the only two students who raised their hands. I remember getting a green Mickey Mouse t-shirt and having a blast! I still remember the churros we had! LOL I had to search for it because my memory was foggy but WDW Magic has the info: Mickey’s birthday bash in 1988 was part of the grand opening of Mickey’s Birthdayland in the Magic Kingdom Park. Wow, that was so long ago!
The Walt Disney Company has a long history of giving back to the local and global community and it’s no surprise they invited underprivileged children to attend Mickey’s 60th birthday bash. I’m thankful I was one of those children in 1988!
And here we are today…I’m so proud of being able to work with Walt Disney World and being a part of a team (Food Blog Forum) which gives back to the food blogging community.
What does it take to put on a food blog conference or any big event for that matter? It’s a lot of work, love, passion, obsession and a lot of teamwork. A lot of obsession, haha. I love organizing events, it’s pretty much in my blood.

It also takes amazing talent and passion from not just you but from others who believe in you. Thanks to Pam, Karen, Beth and the Disney Chefs and the numerous other cast members who spoiled us the entire weekend. They are amazing to work with and the attention to detail…I’m always in awe.
