Celebrity Moms Celebrate Mother's Day at Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World
5/8/2008


If you find it difficult to find something special to give your mom for Mothers' Day, you may draw some inspiration from the way some of the stars of Hispanic television chose to honor their moms, by creating a magical moment during a visit to Walt Disney World.

Among the celebrities who came up with an original way to celebrate Mother's Day are Giselle Blondet and Paola Gutierrez whose mothers had the opportunity to live an enchanting fantasy with their daughters.

Puerto Rican actress and Univision TV-host Giselle Blondet, decided to give her mother a different kind of gift than what she receives every year.

She treated her mother, Alba Gómez, to a day of fame with a Hollywood-star style makeover in preparation for a movie star photo shoot directed by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios.

Emmy award-winning Univision news anchor and author, Maria Elena Salinas, was invited by her daughters, Gaby and Julia, to a special afternoon treat of high tea and pastries, which they shared with Sleeping Beauty's Princess Aurora at the luxurious Grand Floridian Hotel. "We love coming to this place, my daughters are my princesses," said Maria Elena Salinas. "It is our very own special time to escape our everyday and go to a place where we know that, together, we will really enjoy ourselves."

Meanwhile, Paola Gutierrez -a correspondent for the morning show "Despierta America"- and her daughters Antonella and Isabella went all out and brought grandma Norma San Martin from their native Bolivia, so that she could be Queen for a Day in the Magic Kingdom, in special magical moment hosted by Cinderella, Snow White and Belle.

"My mom had always dreamt about being a queen, even if it was only for one day," said Gutierrez. Her mother added, "This experience changed my life. After that day I've felt like a real queen." Antonella stated, "being a princess is not an easy job, but it sure is beautiful."

These very special moments for these mothers took place during the Year of a Million Dreams celebration at Disney Parks. This celebration continues to grant one million people, randomly chosen among the guests at Disney parks, magical moments, such as staying over at Cinderella's Castle for one night, getting a special VIP escort and fast access to attractions, and many other special surprises.

Among the activities that can be shared with moms at Walt Disney World are tours during the Flowers and Garden Festival and attending performances such as Cirque du Soleil's La Nouba. The heart of Downtown Disney also offers an array of shops, great dining and clubs to wrap up the festivities.

And in case all this is not enough, you can treat your mom to a day at a Disney Spa, where she will feel completely renovated after receiving a massage, manicure, pedicure and other exotic beauty treatments.
