Disney Mom Panel

[aPiratesLife4Me]

Check all of your e-mail accounts

Here I was wondering why I didn't get at least a rejection e-mail and so today I went and checked my previous e-mail addy that I had on file with Disney like TWO YEARS AGO and there was my rejection e-mail. This is not my current e-mail on file with them, not the e-mail I used when I signed up, and not the e-mail they sent my confirmation to when I applied for the Mom's Panel. How, and why it was sent to that e-mail is beyond me but at least now I know.

OK, so I haven't heard anything yet...my email starts with S....does anyone have email that starts after S in the alphabet who was notified?

Well, I figure either mine never went through, it was so ridiculous they deleted it, or I was so darn awesome i skipped round 2 and go to round 3 or maybe I won....LOL...

I am very impatient and I want my daggone rejection now!

 

[Ellielovesdisney]

I have been also wondering if it is something alphabetical. My e-mail starts with an h...but my last name starts with an S. I don't know if this is significant. Still waiting to hear.

 

[MinnesotaChill]

Sorry, my last name AND my email start with "s" and I got my rejection at 5:46 central time yesterday.

 

[bsusanmb]

Well then, I just stink is all I can say...

I am going to go eat more brownies to drown my disappointment..about 4 ought to do it this hour....

Is it possible to send 10,000 emails out at one time??? maybe my rejection is lost in cyberspace

LOL! I just ate a half a bag of candy corn to drown my sorrows! I still haven't heard anything yet. I'm ready to give up hope pretty soon...

 

[Ellielovesdisney]

I feel like my last hope to hear anything is at 6:40 tonight...maybe they are in 2 batches...or maybe I am just wishful...It would have been nice just to get a rejection letter.

Don't you DARE give up hope michelle!! I read your
essays and you should definitely be in the running
for this panel..I want to see what the selected ones

According to my husband, large amounts of e-mails are usually sent out in waves (over a period of several hours), so most likely they are all out by now. I too still have not heard back...I am waiting but at this point not expecting too much. And by the way i am a S too!

I am a "T" so I am holding out hope also!

 

[Goingtoseethemouse]

HI! I was also one of the lucky ones that made it too. I am so excited! But it is hard to get too excited with all the sad people out there!

Does anyone out there know how many made it into this round?

 

[I heart the mouse]

Is anyone else curious as to why some of us heard, and others haven't??? I mean, they did say they wouldn't be able to notify EVERYONE who didn't make it to the next round..and our rejections emails said they would be contacting us in the near future for various other Mom/Disney possibilities. Do you think they will contact us rejectees who got a letter for something else??? I know, wishful thinking...but..who knows, right?

Hi Tabitha:

I would really LOVE to hear what you wrote to be qualified to the semi-finalist round.

I was one of the many who received the email rejection. It actually surprised me that in the response they mentioned receiving so many heartwarming stories. Probably that is why I didn't make it into the semi-finalist range, but I find it hard to believe you could convey a "heartwarming story" in the 100 word limit they provided. I simply touched on a few highlights of who I was, who my family were and my Dinney experiences. I would have been hard-pressed to reveal any heartwarming stories in such limited space, but then again I guess that's why I am not on the semi-finalist panel.

Anyway, bottom line is I (and probably many others) would be very interested too see what you wrote on your application. And very smart of you to keep a copy of it! (I actually thought mine was half-decent when I submitted it but did not think to save a copy).

And most importantly, GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS!!! We are all rooting for you and the other Dissers!!!

Hi, I am one of the lucky ones who made it to the next phase. After they have picked the finalists I am willing to share what I wrote in the 1st phase. I did not mention that I am a member of the DISboards.

Hi Cdotla,
I know you addressed this to Tabitha...but I answered you anyway! i hope you don't mind!
It's so strange. It is a blur now. SERIOUSLY! I totally dont remember what I wrote. My kids were nagging at me....I was in the middle of doing laundry...making dinner....signing papers..etc. I just do not remember. I wish I saved it, especially now that I was selected. I really did not have a heart warming story. I am just like all of you. I am a teacher, I have 4 children, I work my tail off, I spend 40-60 nights a year on Disney property. I really know Disney-just like all of youl! I spend every moment of my free time there and when I am not there and not doing laundry...I am on these boards. I have no idea why I was picked. I wonder how many of us there are. what do you think? 100? 1000? 500?

 

[cdotla]

Wow, Goingtoseethemouse - 40-60 nights a year on Disney property??!!!

I would say that makes you imminently qualified for the task! Good luck!!!

I was wondering that too because no one was supposed to hear anything unless they made it to the next round and they did mention putting that passion into something else. Wishful thinking, I know- it helps with the pain!

I am also one of the lucky ones who made it, and I did not mention DISboards either.

This is sort of what i am hoping for too.. LOL It helps ease the rejection for me..

BTW - as i said, i got the rejection email yesterday, and about them - keeping in contact for the future - or something..
And my email (and name) starts with an "S".

 

[Ellielovesdisney]

I am soooo sad. I am not sure why. I am very excited for the DISers who made it to the next round ... I just feel like I am not even significant enough to warrant a rejection letter. I never thought I would make it to the panel...
Maybe I am a little too focused on this...I think I will think about my upcoming WDW trip 1/08 and DisneyCruise 5/08!!!
