Adventures of the "Moms" Panel

[Colmenares3]

I really need to thank you, sis, for encouraging me to write the darn thing (I also blame you for that! ).

No, thank you! Those three installments have kept me from having to write an article on Disney podcasts. Now I have to actually work again!

 

[Marshay]

Just wanted to say thanks to Bret for writing these 3 articles. I loved reading the story behind the moms panel! Good job!

Hey, Marshay:

I'm not sure if Bret will approve of this OT comment , but...

'Looks like we're practically neighbors -- only I live on the Maryland side of D.C.

Good luck with the CMO contest! It looks like a really fun "dream job"!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

(Me again...)

Marshay,

Are you able to post a link to your video audition? (I noticed that several applicants have done that on another board...) I'd love to see it!

I'm out by Dulles Airport! Nice to meet other local DISers!

Come support all the DISers who put a video in for CMO! Mine and lots of others are at this link. It was just fun to do -- my first ever video! There are some really funny ones out there -- alas, I took a more professional approach, but still all fun!

We are all excited and can't wait to see which ones make the first cut on Feb 7th!

Thanks for the link! These (and others posted on the dreamcmo.com web site) are so much fun to watch. My DD has even requested a few "re-runs" of her favorites.

Oh, and I never would have guessed that this was your very first video! Nicely done!

Can you imagine actually winning the job? ... Multiple trips to Disney properties, VIP treatment, plus it's a paid position to boot! How cool is that??

Someone at corporate must have an awfully fun time dreaming up all of these contests and prizes! I totally agree with the comment you made in the the "DISers for CMO" thread: "I think it's great marketing!"

Hate to change the subject, but has anyone heard any more about the "Moms Club" we all voted on?

[WishesQueen]

I totally forgot all about that!!!

So, the answer is NO!!!

It would be cool to know which name won! Didn't the e-mail say something about distributing welcome packets this Spring?

Oh, and if OT remarks during the slow spells are truly a nuisance, I can control myself...

Have a great weekend!

Hmmm...I just re-read my email and it indicates voting closed on January 13th:

Naming the group: Once you’ve updated your profile, the first thing we’d like you to do is help name this group. We’ve come up with a short list of possibilities. You can vote on your favorite choice by selecting one of the four choices below. Voting closes January 13, 2008 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Bret/Erin: any updates on this? It should be an easy tabulate. Maybe we won't know until we get our packet in the Spring. I wonder how many actually joined the club?

Hi all!

I found some more articles about several of the Moms Panelists.

Thanks for the links, those were neat.
Hey Ya'll did anyone receive a coupon in the mail for 30% or 40% off your hotel room during specific times this year? My sister and many friends at church got them (all folks who have not been much). Needless to say, I'M STILL WAITING FOR MINE!!!!!! What's up with this? I guess Disney knows we are going back anyway. Thoughts anyone?

My BFF got one and I'm still waiting.

 

[WishesQueen]

Thats exactly what I said on the Code Watching Thread. I have never received one ever!!!!

Since we're OT for a minute....I have a question?

Its no big deal, but I just noticed that most people over 100 posts aren't Earning My Ears (user title). They are Mousetekeers, when does it change or do I change it somewhere????

Hmmm.... You should be a "Mouseketeer" by now. Mine changed automatically -- at 75 posts, I think. I wonder if the criteria have changed or if there are any "kinks" in the system. (Does anyone else know? Do I have my facts wrong?)

Hey, WishesQueen:

'Looks like you're supposed to become a "Mouseketeer" at 75 points -- unless you take matters into your own hands sooner!

Here's a recent thread on the topic:

Thanks so much for all your help!!

Lets see did it work????

 

[WishesQueen]

Now to get that code everyone's talking about!!!

 

[5/4Disney]

I know this is not related to the panel, but I'm sooooo... excited I had to share it with others who "get it". My DH surprised me yesterday with a trip this weekend to DL and DCA. The minute I told our family we were going they said no your not, you just went in Nov. And then, their response was "whatever, I don't get it". This time I said and you don't have too because your not going. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!
