Good Morning Some news and updates from the House of Mouse. I called Disney World this morning at 7am and there were no AP (Annual Pass) discounts out past October 2, 2010. I also know that many people are still waiting for the release of the Candlelight Processional packages and those were not available either. So we will just keep checking and post when we know something. More news: Effective today August 5, 2010 ticket prices for 2011 are out and effective for Disneyland and Disney World.

Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom has been extended! I know this is not really new NEWS but it looks amazing and now I will have a chance to see it! * Tinker Bell leads the eye-filling procession, waving from the basket of a balloon floating gracefully above a magical garden shimmering in fairy light. * Pinocchio and the boys from the classic film’s Pleasure Island sequence join the parade, and Snow White joins the Seven Dwarfs on a diamond mine float. * There are new lighting effects, and the parade’s highly recognizable musical theme is brightened [...]

Day 18 #31DBBB Create a Sneeze Page

Kelly H Russo2010-08-05T07:31:54-04:00August 5, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

So this is what a sneeze page is: A sneeze page is a concept ProBlogger came up with as a strategy to direct readers deeper into a blog by highlighting previously written posts. You can create a sneeze page with posts revolving around a single theme or a period of time. By promoting it prominently on your homepage, you can develop another opportunity for people to link within your site. I have never done this before and had never even heard of it but I do think that it could be helpful. I think that once I have more posts [...]

Day 17 #31DBBB Watch A First Time Reader Use Your Blog

Kelly H Russo2010-08-05T07:20:35-04:00August 5, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Question 1: When you asked someone to navigate through your blog for the first time what did they seem drawn to? Well I had someone go thru it and liked the colors and way it looked and the pics that had been posted. Question 2: What useful observations and/or feedback did they offer? Needs a sidebar, needs more posts about Disney and news, and they also thought that the top or header should be different. These are all things I already thought as well and have been working on it my free time.

Day 16 #31DBBB Solve a Problem

Kelly H Russo2010-08-03T10:06:53-04:00August 3, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Day 16 is all about Problem Solving. I don't really write about ways to solve problems, I write about ways to save money and give tips but I think that is alittle different. I will see people ask questions on Facebook and Twitter and then answer them and then take that and turn into a post here. This is all still pretty new to me so I think that this book will be even more helpful in the future because I can go back and refer to it. There are some great bloggers over on the SITSgirls forums so join [...]

Kelly H Russo2023-10-23T16:22:43-04:00August 3, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Day 15 Today we are supposed to find a blog buddy in our niche. For me that is Amy at Growing Up Disney. We have been chatting and helping each other out with re-tweets and Facebook and "likes". Amy writes a great blog with her family and she posts wonderful pictures about Disney and her vacations there. I really like reading her blog! 1) Have you ever collaborated or worked with another blogger to mutually grow or improve your blog? Not really I just started working with Amy and have tried to spend some time reading Disney Dean Disney blog [...]

Day 14 #31DBBB Update a Key Page on Your Blog

Kelly H Russo2010-08-01T14:48:20-04:00August 1, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

This would be a cool thing to work on if I had more than just the one page. I don't have tabs that lead to other pages and all that fun stuff. During the course of this challenge I have have seen some really great blog set ups and have some ideas on how I would like mine to look. When I go to a blog page now I look at the head and the sidebar right away and see what they have going on. It is crisp and easy to navigate or is it just buttons and ads everywhere? [...]

Day 13 #31DBBB Take a Trip to the Mall

Kelly H Russo2010-08-01T09:24:48-04:00August 1, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

I have to admit I do not go to the Mall that much. I am just not a shopping kinda gal. I go in and get what I need and leave as quickly as I can. I get the point of the exercise though since I was in retail management for over 10 years. The concept is designed to make you look at how brick and mortar businesses handle there marketing. It can't hurt to take a break from the computer recharge your batteries and get some fresh perspective. So like I said I do not go to the mall [...]
