#DisneyKids Twitter Party

Last night Maria Bailey and Amy Bair hosted the 3rd #DisneyKids twitter party for Disney Parks. There was plenty of fun to be had and five gift prizes for randomly selected participants. The topics ranged from favorite characters and attractions, to the fun Frozen summer happenings at Hollywood Studios, but my favorite topic was saved for last.  Here is the tweet that started the memories flowing!
