Thanks so much! I do hope *someone* reads them all, considering how much hand-wringing and coffee-chugging and nail biting go into the application process, LOL! :-)

Has anyone ever read any real information about how these thousands of entries are sorted? I mean, do they have a computer program that automatically dumps the incorrect-answer-type entries, then have 50 judges reading 300 submissions each and picking their favorites for round 2? Is there any...

I'm so excited to be *done* with my application, haha! But the most exciting thing is that this is actually the first year I've received a confirmation email. The past two years, while I've gotten the confirmation page, the email has never appeared. After I was unable to get to the Mickey Mom's...

I can't believe it's already been a year. Last year, on the day we thought the announcement about the first round qualifications would come out, I was at Epcot for my birthday. That took the edge off not getting in, LOL! :lmao: Hopefully there will be a more fun answer this year ... hmm, think...

ME! I'll be at WDW around Sept 23rd (probably Saturday the 24th) as it's my turn to take one of the kids on their special Birthday date! My husband and I have been alternating all year, and I'm so excited to take my littlest Princess. Especially since I'm hoping it'll be a bit cooler by...

All your comments have been very kind. While it wasn't an easy thing to go through by any stretch of the imagination, it certainly was eased by knowing God's deep care for me and that He was indeed taking care of my little angel princess! Thank you for your kind words. Blessings to everyone!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I'm in your shoes right now, and know how difficult it is. I thought it might help you to read my story. God was very sweet to me and did a miracle. I'll be praying that you continue to heal...

It's so long, and wouldn't let me include pictures when I tried to copy and paste! http://www.encouragingheartsathome.com/2011/05/30/of-baby-lost-and-found-and-the-pink-balloon/

This amazing story happened to me over the weekend. I thought someone else might like to read about it!~ Can't share links yet. Will have to try again.

Sending pixie dust to everyone (else!) who made it past the first round! Looks like I'll be able to attend my daughter's Nutcracker performance Dec. 12th after all. :-) Maybe next year it will be my turn!!!

It looks like everyone on the 2010 Panel was a DisBoards post-er; is that right??? It's going to be a long w:rolleyes1eekend!!!

:lovestruc I had a sick computer, and had to head to my husband's office to fill out the application! After lots of rewriting and condensing and rewriting and condensing, I finally hit submit. Amazing how difficult that can be! I do most of my Disney "advising" irl rather than online...

Congrats to those who made it! Best wishes and more pixiedust for round two!!!

All hope is not lost!!! The special password idea definitely renewed my spirit. :cool1: Now, I DON'T have much hope that I'm going to accomplish anything today, but that's another story!!!!

The original submission page link you can find on google is the one we're seeing (sorry--the board won't let me post it!), with a new Congrats message. So . . . apparently, they're assuming no one's still looking at the old link, because it's definitely disappointing if you ARE and then can't...

Question for those of you who made it past the first round last year: when you received your "congratulations" email, did it ask you to *wait* to tell people for any amount of time? I'm just thinking that while I assume no one's been notified yet, so I can still hope, this may not be the case...

One good thing: as long as no one else has heard that they're *in,* it means that I am not yet *out!* :banana: No news is good news, right??? :-) We were out at the beach all day and I had my husband put my email onto his phone alert list, but no bells ringing here yet. I'm assuming we're...

Just popping in to say hi, and I'm so glad I'm not the only obsessive e-mail checker! Don't think I have time to get thru this entire thread to see if it's been mentioned, but will there be any sort of official announcement of the end of round one? Or will we just need to keep googling and...
