I have made a point of not looking at this thread for a few days just to see how the numbers are. I'm sure a great deal of us check this post constantly, which boosts the numbers up, but that still says an awful lot about how many folks are truly watching this thread. Even if the three dozen or so continuous posters on this thread check it, say, ten times a day, the overall 50K+ is a significant number.
This thread jumped from 50,000 views on Sunday evening to 59,000 views by Monday mid afternoon. And Fadra's YouTube videos I linked to have exploded from her usual 25 to 50 views after six months online to a couple hundred views in just one day, apparently because I linked to them here. In less than 24 hours I doubled the views of her Chevrolet Impala review after it had been sitting on her blog for the past seven months.
General Motors should let me drive the Mommy Blogger Loaner Impala next weekend! I promise to even look under the hood and use the word "engine" in my review.

@wdisney9000 I need to say a proper goodbye to Fadra (who, again, does genuinely seem like a nice lady) with her farewell blog video recap of the final day of Social Media Moms Conference 2014 at the Disneyland Resort.
Yesterday (Sunday) they had a 5K Fun Run for the ladies through both parks just prior to opening, followed by a breakfast reception for the runners and their families in Cars Land. Disney kept Cars Land closed for the first hour of DCA operation yesterday (and if you've ever seen the wild stampede for Cars Land at park opening you know that's like closing off Times Square at rush hour). They had a catered breakfast, meet n' greets with the Cars characters on Route 66, entertainment, and free rides without any lines while the maddening crowds were kept outside of the land by crowd control CM's.
INSANE!
Watch the last 60 seconds of Fadra's farewell video at the 2:00 minute mark to get the summary. She gushes and thanks Disney profusely, which tells me she knows. But there are only 50 or less runners doing this. There are more CM's cheering them on than there are actual runners. And certainly more CM's staffing the entire event than there are runners and family members.
The last 60 seconds from the 2:00 minute mark sums it all up.
And for those who watched the full 3 minutes, what is up with that New Balance representative who has that horrible Kardashian whiny accent?!?
