2013 MP Finalists and their supporters

A big CONGRATULATIONS!!! to all the new panelists!!!

Looking forward to seeing your TRs and updates, and pics, and of course, seeing your pics/videos/and answers to questions up on the site!!!

Enjoy your training trip!!!!
 
I have to say I'm a little surprised that there isn't a UK panelist this year and would love to know the reason for that. We're we just not good enough!!

Puts me off applying again if they had no intention of putting someone through from UK :-(
 
Just wanted to add that there is one new Mom from Canada, one from Puerto Rico and one from Mexico. There is no new UK panelist for 2013. There is also not a new runDisney Mom (which was surprising).

There are 2 new Panelists from Florida, 2 from Georgia, 2 from Illinois and 3 from Texas. Also one Panelist each from SC, PA, CA, VA, NJ, OH and MD.

Thank you so much for checking in and letting is share your journey! I know all of you will have the time of your life!
 


Hi everyone!!! I would love to answer everyone's questions, but we don't have any of those answers yet! I think there are a lot of details we won't know until we get there, but I will let you know!!

Sorry to disappoint you all, but we don't have any juicy details to report just yet!

I can confirm there are 19 new panelists. We are still missing several on FB. Don't know yet who will be representing runDisney or Sports.

Since the New Fantasyland has its official grand opening on 12/6, I'm hoping we'll get to check it all out and maybe even have lunch or dinner at BoG! We're all trying to guess which resort we'll be staying at, too! Contemporary? Coronado? POR? BW? There are lots of surprises in store! We'll keep you all updated!!

Hi everyone! Like they said, no news yet on details, and we still don't know our runDisney or Sports Mom yet. Not sure if they don't have them or if they're in hiding! :) I guess by this time next month we'll know for sure!

So excited about the training trip! We've been discussing outfits and all that fun stuff, but just amongst ourselves... no official word on anything yet.

I, too, would love to see the new Fantasyland and eat at BoG, and hope to experience the new Test Track while we're there! We shall see!!!! I love surprises, but I also love trying to guess them!!!!

Thanks again for all your enthusiasm for us, everyone! :)
We'll be sure to check back in to keep you updated, especially after our trip!!!

Yes, 19 panelists this year....2 sports moms, 2 WDW dads, 2 DVC moms, 1 DLR mom, 1 ABD mom, 1 DCL mom, 10 WDW moms!:grouphug:

We got our releases today for them to do background checks and we submitted our sizes for jackets/shirts/etc!

Not much more info than that. Still waiting for the call to arrange travel:drive:. No word on where we're staying. Your guess is as good as mine. :confused3

Thanks for checking in on us with such interest. :flower3: Sorry I don't have more to share!

How exciting for you all! Thanks for sharing with all of us here. I was imagining an Epcot area resort, but now that I see the yearly locations Kaylene posted, perhaps you'll be headed back to MK area to take full advantage of all the new Fantasyland happenings... pixiedust:

Interesting...only 1 from the west.

We don't know who will be representing the UK on the panel for 2013.
 


Look for the new panelists' photos, bios and videos on the official Disney Moms Panel site in January!!!
 
Just stopping by to CONGRATULATE and welcome onboard all of our newest panelists! You are in for an amazing time at reunion weekend!
 
You guys, I'm so excited right now and I'm so happy that you are all here to share in the magic with those of us that were invited to be on the 2013 Walt Disney World Moms Panel!! It really means a lot to me that you are passionate enough to stick around as cheerleaders!! :cheer2: :grouphug:

Some of you may not know this, but this is my fifth year applying, my third year in Round 2, first year in Round 3, and of course I made it this year!!!! I know first-hand how the heartache feels when it's just not your year. I was completely over the moon when I received my "YES!" phone call last week and I'm still on :cloud9:!! I don't think I'm EVER coming down. It's SUPER important to me that those of you who didn't make it this year continue to follow your dreams and your passion of sharing magic with the world. When the time is right, Pixie Dust WILL fall on YOU just like it did for me!!! pixiedust:

So, with that said, we're going down to WDW next weekend for my DD10's 11th birthday and I'd love to share pics with you all of your favorites, so let me know what you want to see and I'll do my best!! :flower3:

Thanks, Jackie! This was my fifth year applying and first year in round 2. Seeing you and others who made it to round 2 several times before making it gives me great hope! Can't wait to follow along.

Any pics would be great to see! Hope your daughter has a great birthday. I'll be following your journey on Twitter, too. (I am Lauren Sullivan @baseballsbows there.)

Hope the birthday is magical!
 
I agree 100% with Jackie! I've applied since the very beginning and last year was the first time I made it past round 1, but unfortunately I got a "not this year" phone call. I was astounded to receive the "yes" phone call this year!! It just goes to show that you can't let go of this dream! No one has any idea what the panels needs might be so while they may love you, it may not work for what they needed. Then again you might be the perfect fit next year!!!

Thank you so much to everyone who has cheered us on and still following this little journey. I can't wait to return from training and start a trip report!

Have a blessed day everyone!!

I can't wait for your trip report either.

I, and I think everyone else on this board, am so excited for you and the others who made it. I just keep following this thread to find out what is going on with your trips.

I would love to be on the panel. But life is wonderful the way it is. I will live on the Moms Panel vicariously through you guys this year.

But next year...!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

Thank you ladies for sharing your stories with us! I am so happy that you take the time to update us and involve us; it means a lot :grouphug::cheer2:
 
So excited for your upcoming training. You have much to be thankful for this year!!


Soooo, how many panelists are buying new clothes?? :-). I would be!!
 
Aww, ya caught me! I was indeed out getting some new clothes yesterday!! :) I ordered a few things online and went into the store to pick them up and, of course, they were having the sale of the century, so...more shopping! :)
 
Hi Ladies! Just wanted to send a big CONGRATULATIONS!!! You SO deserve to be on the Moms Panel and you will do such an amazing job bringing the magic to all of the guests who write the panel. Being able to share your journeys is almost as good as being there myself (though next year I'll try again to join you for real!! :goodvibes). Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures. Jackie, I LOVE your tweets! I'm @skampimom Hope you'll share lots of special moments on the training trip! pixiedust:

Big :grouphug: to you and all of the panelists for this year! Wishing you the magical journey of a lifetime!

Laura

Well, over the past 3 days, I think I've maxed out my credit cards, LOL! I've shopped 'til I've dropped! I've never done so much shopping in such a short time - I'm exhausted! I've been all over my local mall and online ordering from Zappos, Talbots, Macy's, you name it. Finding comfortable yet stylish shoes is a real challenge but Abeo and Merrell have come through for me :-) We need solid colors for the photo and video shoots so I bought some nice business casual jackets in (of course) my favorite colors: pink and purple.
