Adventures of the "Moms" Panel

[PrincessoftheCastle]

Since I have been on a diet all 2008, my wife said she would take me to my favorite pizza place in the neigborhood. Can you believe that I have not had pizza all year and have survived?

Did you ever know that you're my heroooooo.....everything I would like to be.... (obviously I have completely lost it!)

But seriously - I hope you have some pizza no matter what! You have had an awesome year and have shown tremendous determination and will-power. Stick to the veggie toppings and order 1/2 the cheese - and no guilt my friend!

Sleep will be hard to come by tonight.

Good luck to you all.

I think that no matter what each of us really deserves to celebrate tomorrow. Look at what we have accomplished - from 20,000 entries to the 31 finalists. Think of the odds.

So if it is pizza, new shoes or the cute Disney Christmas shirt I hope we all go out and celebrate our accomplishments tomorrow in some form.

Well said we ALL have something to celebrate

I can't even imagine how you all must be feeling right now!!! Goodness, I am just a complete ball of nerves sitting on the sidelines! LOL

Hopefully those calls will be made early so that we can all breathe again!

 

[Beckie w/ an IE]

I'm nervous for all of you. I can't wait to find out who the new panel is. GOOD LUCK everyone!

 

[MrsCopper]

Tonight it's gonna be like the Disney commercial where the dad says "I'm too excited to sleep." Good luck to y'all.

 

[DVCsince02]

Good Luck Everyone!

I can't wait to make the 2009 Moms Panel list!

 

[cdotla]

I just wish they would give me a quick call tonight to end the suspense...they're probably working late, right?

Ha, ha! I don't think so.....according to Leanne's twitter update, she spent the evening at Food & Wine with David Cassidy!

I agree that we all have something to celebrate for making it this far! I am so nervous - I just don't know what to do with myself! This has been such an amazing experience so far, and no matter what the outcome is tomorrow I know that whatever is meant to be will be.

I just can't say Congratulations and Good Luck enough to my fellow finalists. I also hope they make the calls bright and early!!!!

Sorry ya'll! 2 of my little ones are sick and I have been doing mom duty for the last several hours. I totally agree with the post of "I'm too excited to sleep" - that commercial really rings true right now. It is killing me that right now, THEY KNOW. Also, do we have to choose between the ice cream and the red wine? This time tomorrow, I think I'll have both - no matter what the outcome! I keep laughing thinking that we are probably all more nervous and excited about the panel then we are about the next President. Selfish??? You will all be in my prayers tonight. For some reason, I really feel bonded to ya'll (yes ya'll again, I'm Southern!) Let's keep in touch! Jackie

Jackie - I hope your children feel better soon!!

Best of luck to everyone! Of course, I wish I was waiting in suspense along with you, but there are so many of us WDW uber-planners, I guess they just couldn't spend time on the phone with all of us. I'll be anxiously waiting to see how many DIS'ers make it and I suppose I'll try again next year.

 

[RatBoy]

Best of luck to all. Either way, you should be proud.

Hope you all can manage to get a little bit of sleep!

I'm so glad the e-mail came once I was already asleep, I totally didn't expect to hear till at least tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone and we've all done fantastically to get this far

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Well.... today is the day! I'm looking forward to hearing who was selected to serve on the 2009 Moms Panel, and I'm hoping you're allowed to reveal it to the rest of us!

Once again, best wishes!

 

[PartyOf5]

Good morning everyone! Thankfully, I slept like a baby! Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited but I haven't been feeling well since last Saturday so I've been taking some OTC meds...they especially came in handy last night! <Doesn't seem fair...hubby gets the flu shot, I get sick!>

Anyway, I'd like to wish you all one final dose of pixie dust.

I'll post my outcome either way when allowed...I hope all the other finalists do the same. Selected or not, you are all winners!!!

 

[threedisneyboys]

I'ts 6:26 here in Central/Standard time. Officially today. Where is that call??? By the way, I will post either way. I also meant to congratulate all of the members of the Mickey Moms Club (and everyone else) who have been supporting us. Just looking at all of your knowledge and passion, I truly don't know how they picked the finalists! Also, I don't know whether I'm planning for the worst or not, but how we will all keep in touch? Is there a certain part of the forum that ya'll hang out on? Will this thread whither on the vine and die? What will become of us? That's it. No more rambling from me. I hope we all hear soon. Love, Jackie

 

[threedisneyboys]

Regarding my previous post - not sure if it is "whither" or "wither" - neither one looks right. All right, time to get ready for the day and wake up the boys. Talk to all of you soon! Jackie

ixiedust: Good luck everyone! As I told my 7th grade son this morning, whatever is meant to be, will be. It was no small feat to make it this far, and we should all be very proud.

There are some answers I wish I could have elaborated on more, or said other things...but there are also some answers that I wouldn't have changed. It was nerve-wracking...yet exciting and a memorable experience at the same time.

I have truly been inspired by the support on this thread. I can only hope that I am blessed enough to meet you all in a few weeks. I will post my results as soon as I'm allowed to.

Again, GOOD LUCK!! ixiedust:

p.s. Feel better soon Diane.
