A Bit of a Random Question

Just before our trip to Pitlochry I received an email with the title ‘A Bit of a Random Question’, the email was from a PR company… I receive emails like this fairly regularly, I’ve been lucky enough to receive freebies like books and cosmetics and have even been invited to a cartoon launch and a film premier (unfortunately I was unable to attend either) I love getting these sort of emails they are the bloggers perk, and who doesn’t love receiving freebies?

Anyway, I open the email and am astonished to find that the offer this time was for an all expenses paid trip to Disney. I try to absorb the words on the screen, Disney. all expenses paid, review, press…nope it’s just not sinking in. I dash outside barefoot to my husband who was changing a car tyre…

Me: “You’ll never guess what”

Him: (worried look)

Me: “Don’t worry you’ll never guess anyway. I’ve been offered an all expenses paid trip to Disney”

Him: “What, Disneyland Paris?”

Me: “Oh. Eh” (I dash inside)

Me: “No, Disney in Orlando. Ha, can you believe it”

Him: “Eh. Not Really. Are you gonna go?”

A more sensible discussion ensued, and my husband practically insisted I go, not sure whether to be slightly alarmed at this, but to be honest I hardly took much convincing!

Since then there have been a few emails back and forth and seven British parent bloggers have been confirmed for the trip at the end of this month. Our trip will involve reviewing Walt Disneyworld Resort via our blogs, this will include an account of the trip, photos, videos and some useful info on visiting Walt Disneyworld with the kids. We are awaiting the Disney rep getting in touch and our full itinery, we have a rough idea what’s instore for us but I’ll save that for another post :)

    I’m attempting to pass it off as a ‘work trip’, needless to say nobody’s falling for it haha

    I told my husband about it, and he said ‘Right. Please don’t give up blogging, if that’s the sort of thing you get out of it!’ Though he was less impressed that it wasn’t a whole-family deal.
