Disney’s U Rock 2 Video Winners

August 12, 2009 By

URockLogo

Visitors to Disney’s website Disney.go.com recently had a chance to submit videos of themselves singing along to some of the hottest songs by Disney artists in the U Rock 2 Contest. The votes were cast, and the winners are in!  Entrants made their own videos set to songs they downloaded from the site, including:

  • “One And The Same” by Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez  from the Disney Channel Playlist CD, with exclusive music video available on the Princess Protection Program DVD
  • “Paranoid“ by Jonas Brothers from their upcoming album “Lies, Vines and Trying Times”
  • “Hey” by Mitchel Musso from his self-titled album “Mitchel Musso”
  • “Ready to Rock” by Steve Rushton featured in the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures’ film“G-Force”

I watched the winning videos and I was pretty impressed with the winners. My favorite (and a fan fave too obviously!) is the video submitted by Allie from New York, who won both the “Mega Pipes” and “Rock of Fame” categories. She and her friend sing “One and the Same” by Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, and I think they should try out for American Idol next!

The U Rock 2 winners will be getting a trip to Los Angeles, a Radio Disney Artist TakeOver, a taping of a Disney Channel show, and the Princess Protection Program Royal B.F.F. Extended Edition DVD.

Check out all the winners at http://urock.disney.go.com.  In fact, if you’re a fan of Disney movies, music, TV shows, the parks, anything Disney- go to that site and you’ll find links to MORE sites that are positively packed with video clips, info, and tons more.  I appreciate Disney passing this information on to me to share with you!

Rock Your School with Box Tops for Education!

July 25, 2008 By

I never noticed the little symbols on the tops of food packages until my oldest went to kindergarten and I got a letter home one day reminding me to save the box tops for education. I went to my pantry and sure enough, there on the top of all the General Mills cereals was this:

Box Tops for Education can be found not only cereals like Cheerios, but also on Chex Mix, Kleenex, Ziploc Storage Containers, Hefty Trash bags, and Betty Crocker mixes and packaged foods. I have a section in my kitchen “junk” drawer just for Box Tops, and it’s become automatic for me to look at the top of a package for that logo before I throw away recycle packaging. So, what do schools DO with all the Box Tops for Education that they collect from our kids?

Schools earn ten cents for each Box Top redeemed, and you can often find specially marked packages with Box Tops that are worth even more than that. Each participating school can earn up to $20,000 a year redeeming Box Tops! That’s a LOT of money for school supplies and programs! And, thanks to the Kimberly-Clark presents Rock Your School sweepstakes, you can enter every day to win a Jordan Pruitt concert at your child’s school plus 100,000 bonus Box Tops! That’s a value of $10,000! Jordan Pruitt is a Radio Disney star who has opened for the Jonas Brothers, the Cheetah Girls, and Vanessa Hudgens. Trust me, your kids’ school wants this concert!

Visit the Rock Your School site, register your school for the sweepstakes, and you can sign up for a daily email reminding you to enter every day. You can enter every day until September 15, 2008. The winners will be chosen on or around September 22nd. In addition to the Grand Prize, you can also win:
First Prize
100 winners will receive 1,000 Bonus Box Tops for their child’s school. That’s $100 for their child’s school.
Second Prize
200 winners will receive Jordan Pruitt’s latest release, Permission To Fly, autographed by Jordan Pruitt herself.

Third Prize
1,000 winners will receive a non-autographed copy of Jordan Pruitt’s latest release, Permission To Fly.

Sweet! So get clipping those Box Tops for Education, get your school earning money for supplies and programs, and enter to win one of the great prizes!

Radio Disney Concert Series in Wildwood, New Jersey

June 14, 2008 By

My husband’s best friend, also named Chris, lives in Trenton, New Jersey with his wife and their two children. I was talking to him on the phone the other day, just chatting about summer vacation and what was going on here in Michigan this summer, and he started telling me about all the Things to do in New Jersey during the summer, and I was so surprised! They have this place in Wildwood called Morey’s Piers that has three different amusement parks right on the water, two different beachfront waterparks, plus a summer concert series! We do not have ANYTHING like that in Michigan.

Wildwood events include the Radio Disney concert series which takes place on “Magic Mondays” Radio Disney’s hottest musical artists will appear live, for FREE, on July 7th, 14th, and 21st, and then on July 26th, Mitchell Musso from “Hannah Montana” and Raven Symone from “That’s So Raven” perform at the Oceanfront Arena. The final concert isn’t free, but ticketholders can save $10-$15 off tickets for the following day to the amusement piers or waterparks!

You know, we were going to save up and take a family vacation to a waterpark here in Michigan, but after looking at everything there is to do at this Morey’s Piers, now I want to plan a trip to a new jersey water park instead. We could see my husband’s best friend and go to both amusement and waterparks at the same time, it would be a trip my kids would never forget!
