It's Out! The Close of Our Adventure



This past spring our family had the start of one of our most exciting adventures, which began with the submission of a blurry, silly family photo to a casting agency for a Disney water park commercial.  (The casting was for real folks. In other words, no professional actors.) It was a month of waiting and anticipation to get the final news that we were chosen!!

Talk about a whirlwind of craziness, that started on a flight with the six of us to Orlando.  We worked for three days at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and made memories that will most definitely last our lifetimes.

This week the finished product is up on the website so I thought I would share it here! We laughed as a family because we had to watch it in slow motion over and over again to get a good look at us.  A couple of us received more screen time than others. Bummer. Click on the link below to be directed to the video. :)








As always, thanks for reading!

Disney Commercial Adventure: Part 2

Warning: Long post! Feel free to skip to pictures if you don't want to be bored by my ramblings. :) If you missed Part 1, click here.

6:15 a.m. Fifteen minutes before our ride would come and take us to set.

"Come on boys! Get moving. We don't want to be late getting downstairs. "

In nervous anticipation I slipped on my shoes and pulled my hair up into a sloppy ponytail.  No need to worry about styling it. They would take care of that.  I wanted to pinch myself to see if this was really happening!

We arrive on site and one quick scan brings everything into view...a couple of trailers, a few tents, tables and chairs, moving trucks and a RV.  All ages of people were lining up to be assigned as "Extras" for the day's shoot. It's 7:00 in the morning and already the place is humming with activity since many of the production folks arrived around 5:00 a.m.

Disney Commercial Adventure: Part 1

It happened!!! We received the call that informed us we would be heading to Orlando for a commercial shoot. And as much as I couldn't believe it, the day came to leave and the adventure began...

***The Excitement of Travel***

The boys were just as excited about flying as they were about the plans to go to the water park!

Plane watching...
There was no delays and the 30 minute wait passed quickly with new sights to see.
