My sister and I
have gotten invited to this in the past and I was looking forward to being a part of it again this year. It just so happened that I had an Orlando overnight the day the event was taking place...perfect timing!
This time the event was being held inside test track at Epcot! We got in through the back lot after waiting at security for several minutes because they said we were not on the list!
The area that the event was being held had the perfect view of the Epcot ball. You could even look below and see the cars from test track going by.
Cigna was generous enough to give us all goody bags and among the goodies was a Disney Gift card! Thanks Cigna!
They had a large spread of food for us for lunch. After lunch we divided into teams from the numbers that were on our name tag and played a few games.
The first game was a trivia game of statistics and facts about Cigna. We actually tied with another team on answering questions so we got our first choice of what vegetable we wanted.
The vegetables were the next task. Sticking with the "Test Track" theme, we had to make a car out of vegetables in hopes that it could make it down the track first! We also had a box with wheels, toothpicks, knives, etc. to help assemble our car. In addition we had to make a poster and do a pitch on a theme that was given to us. It was very interactive. And our car came in 2nd!
After all of the cars raced, dessert was brought out and we had a great photo OP with Mickey and Minnie (in there race car gear of course)!
It was a fun afternoon and it was so nice to connect with fellow bloggers! -L
How fun! I know a few bloggers that have gone to this meet up event in the past and they also really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIt must be s nice to connect with other fitness bloggers in such a fun location :)
That looks like a great way to spend your lay over! Super fun for Disney lovers
ReplyDeleteHaha those vegetable racecars are hilarious! Sounds like a really fun event.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a fun event (and the food looks great too!) I need to get to the Disney Marathon soon. Is it difficult to get into?
ReplyDeleteVegetable pinewood derby, awesome!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun blogging get together. My hubby and I were just talking about how we want to take our daughter to disney, maybe next year! She is only 9 months right now ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! The vegetable cars reminds me of the pinewood derbies our son participated in during his early years of Scouts.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun. I like the vegetable cars. LOL. Which one won? Which was yours?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun meet-up. I would love to do that activity with the cars made out of food!
ReplyDeleteFun! I saw a couple pictures pop up on IG that day. I'm loving Mickey and Minnie's NASCAR outfits.
ReplyDeleteMinnie and Mickey look adorable in those race outfits!! What a fun way to spend your time on a lay-over. Looks like so much fun and I love the fact it was so interactive!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun event! What other bloggers were there?
ReplyDeleteHow fun, and so perfect that you already had a layover there during that time.

ReplyDeleteoh my gosh this sounds so FUN!!! I want to build a car out of veggies!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, so fun! That's pretty funny you were racing vegetable cars. Congrats on that 2nd place finish :)
ReplyDeleteBloggers + Disney? Yeah, a great combo!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! Did you meet any bloggers that you follow and have never met?
ReplyDeleteIt was so fantastic getting to meet you!! We had such a blast although I still think our brilliant pitch deserved an honorable mention, LOL. ;)
