Diser's for CMO!

[kennythepirate]

Kenny, do you know about how many total entries there were last year?

Don't know the exact number, it was in the hundreds that I found. Careerbuilder said thousands though.

 

[kennythepirate]

I for one will promise to share as much information as I can.

The catch is that I don't know yet how much I can share. (Kenny, maybe you can help me out with what others have shared in the past while the process was ongoing?) Because a major point of this contest is to generate promotion for careerbuilder.com and Disney Destinations, I'll give you juicy details if you promise to visit their websites at least once for each detail. Deal?

If anybody wants to know anything privately, I'm happy to tell you anything you'd like to knowOf course, this is all a little ahead of the curve because right now all I have to tell you is that I got a phone call, then an email and I sent my affidavit back today via fax and mail. Not too juicy!

Sure, I visit their websites often anyway. We all had to do our own promotion last year and some people got upset that people used their podcasts, blogs, myspace and such. I read in the rules that CB was going to help with promotion. I posted on Disney fan sites, used myspace and sent multiple email blasts. I made my own banner ads and posted them so people could click and take you directly to the votiing page. I teamed up with a Haunted Mansion contestant and we cross promoted each other.
Feel free to PM if there are details you'd like to discuss.

Dh is Air Force and right now we're stationed in California but Colorado Springs will always be home!

I can understand your feelings about that. Nothing like Colorado, is there!


fleagle - I sure hope you are able to share info with us, but we don't want you to get in trouble either, so just do what you can!

I am so happy for all of you. I sure hope one (or 3 of you) make the final 3. You will have a lot of support from us here!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this email string... You all crack me up. I too am no longer depressed about not receiving a phone call...

My son and I made so many bloopers from filming that is has become one of our favorite things to do...watch all of the clips!

Of course, besides spending most of our lives at the parks, we now have the "making the video" memory which is totally hillarious. And if you are interested, my video is the "magic mirror/Hannah Montana" video.... and took several days to produce. My co-workers are now quoting the video when they see me in the hall....

Did you know that only the word "banana" rhymes the best with "Montana" Nothing else seemed to work!

Take care and see you all at DL and DW!

Isn't it great to be happy again! I really love the magic that Disney music provides me with. I have been in a great mood since I put it on!

And my best friend just reminded me that our family had so much fun doing the video, and then celebrating its completion, I will have memories of that forever!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

I didn't realize that I would make so many enemies by being chosen to move on. So I would like to apologize for chasing my dreams...

I hope you are still here Trip....that is so sad to hear you apologize for chasing your dreams.

We were chasing our dream too - you were blessed enough to get selected.

I am sure it is just human nature to look at the winning applicants and think how our entry compared.

I hope you have a wonderful night - feeling great about yourself, your entry and YOUR dream!!!

Lucky, lucky you!!! Here's to a great interview Trip - you earned it!!!

Disneyfalcon - Just thought you should know that I loved your entry!

Had to leave the forum for a little while to drive home from work. You guys were busy in that time!

Since we're reliving the videos one last time, here's mine:

Wish I could go back to that day! I bought myself a new hard drive camcorder to do this, so I guess that is my consolation prize.

 

[tothesea]

That was really good TLP!

 

[Carolwoodpr]

Yep TLP - great one - but I must say, I covet the picture you have in the background!

 

[limabeanmom2003]

Since my video didn't make it through, I thought I'd share it now. I worked so hard on it, I would love for SOMEONE to see it!

Congrats again to everyone who made it! I can't wait to see them all!

Tammy,

I've seen your video before and thought it was great! I definitely thought you had a chance at making the top 20.

 

[TLP127]

Thanks! I love my picture!

 

[Dolce27]

Wow...this was tough to see this morning. But I guess I'll have to let it go now. Unfortunately I have a job with absolutely no magic or dream making involved. I guess I'll have to plan a trip to Disney to get my kick back!

Good luck to all those who made it. And for those of us who didn't...HEY at least we are still eligible to win that night in the castle or the DVC membership- maybe the CMO will give us a prize if we visit the parks!


My losing dream video...

I loved your video! ... oh and what I could see of your bedroom - cool shade of green!

This was my entry: http://www.dreamcmo.com/view-dream-cmo-applicant.php?CMODID=CMO-58E11A65CC7D041FF825D8C38BE76F31

A satirical combination of this year's electoral race & the CMO position

 

[fletch182]

TLP loved your enthusiasm (did I detect a Southern drawl?)

Tony your's does remind me of a political candidate and made me smile

Oklay - hopefully this will work now that I have 10 posts.

 

[kennythepirate]

LOVED your entry from last year Kenny - it honestly was the reason I felt safe just having me and my family and no "extras."

You were perfect!

Thanks! I'm glad that you were inspired to take a shot at this.

 

[Tuffcookie]

Okay, after work I went shopping. I feel much better!

Here's the link to my video...I was probably one of the first to apply. I didn't have anything to judge mine on.

Good luck to the applicants that got calls. We anxiously await the next phase of the process...the interviews. If you're allowed, PLEASE post here and let us know how you felt it went.

Disneyfalcon - Just thought you should know that I loved your entry!

Justin thank you so much!! I was starting to get a little complex...

 

[Disneyfalcon]

Tammy,

I've seen your video before and thought it was great! I definitely thought you had a chance at making the top 20.

limabean that was so nice! I really thought it must not be that good since no one said anything. First I saw Justin's comment and then when I saw yours, I actually got a little choked up! Thank you both sooo much.
