Have you tried Periscope? Apple released it’s best apps of 2015 today and Periscope TV received the top spot as “App of the Year“. This will come as no surprise to those of us that have become obsessed with Periscope. Considering it just released in march of this year, it’s growth has been huge with over 10 million downloads of the app so far. Periscope isn’t the first app to offer live video streams but none of the others have reached this level of popularity. It will be interesting to see if Facebook’s version of live broadcasting, called Facebook Live, will have any impact on the success of Periscope. Time will tell. Personally, I can’t imagine another app having the ease of use that Periscope has. Given what I know of Facebook on the web and mobile, theirs will not be as user-friendly.
If you haven’t tried Periscope yet, what are you waiting for? Download the app and give us a follow! For more info on how to get started read this. Check this one for my top picks of who to follow. If you are watching broadcasts on your computer, I would definitely recommend you use the app. It’s easier to use and allows you to comment and give hearts as well, making you part of the conversation.
I can’t wait to see the creative ways Periscope will be used in the near future as a source for social media, information, and marketing.

I’ve got a news flash for you. Are you ready? Disney World is in Florida. And Florida is….. hot. What? I know right?! What kind of crazy talk is this? Believe it or not, when I announced I was moving to Orlando I had many well-meaning people inform me of this fact with the type…
Some people consider parades and shows to be a waste of valuable park touring time. They’d rather take advantage of shorter lines for popular rides. While I understand the desire to make the best use of time, missing Festival of Fantasy would be missing important parts of the overall Disney experience. If you have seen The…

Ever wonder what’s in a bloggers Disney bag? When we first moved here I was constantly forgetting something. It took me a while to figure out exactly what I needed to bring with me. And because I carry these things around with me all day (Disney bags can get heavy!), every item has to earn…
As you may know by now, we regularly use Periscope to live broadcast to our followers. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first. I am much more comfortable writing than talking in front of the camera. But it has really grown on me. I like the fact that we can interact with people and respond…
