Round 3 - Walt Disney World Resort!

Did you make it???

 

[PixieJenna]

My husband was in round 3 and didn't get in. He's taking it pretty hard

 

[Lehuaann]

I'm in!!!! In shock!!!

My husband was in round 3 and didn't get in. He's taking it pretty hard

...but what a great accomplishment to make R3! How many years has he been entering, if you don't mind me asking?

No problem! It was his first year applying. Don't think he will be applying again- he's pretty down!

It took me several days when I didn't make the 2015 panel. But look where I am now! So tell him I expect him to go all the way next year.

Thanks, Ricardo! I will tell him I hope he tries again because I know he would be great at it.

This was actually my first year applying. There were 12 newbies accepted and out of the 12 of us, it ranged from 1-10 years applying! So don't lose hope!

almost time for 2018! This will be my third time applying, I've never made it past round 1.

 

[holden]

I'll apply again too for the third time. I made it to round 2 once.

 

[Pluto80]

I'll be applying again as well, think it'll be my third time.......

 

[RangerPooh]

I've applied for many years and nothing. But that's ok, we can all give advice here.

 

[TravelingTotMom]

I'm applying for the third year.

The first time I didn't make it past the first round, and last year I made it to the final round/phone interviews. The "no" call was hard to take for a while, but I'm looking forward to applying again and now know what to expect, so that alleviates some stress.

Time to see if the third time is the charm...

Good luck everyone!

In case anyone has not yet seen it, here is the link for this year's thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/the-official-2018-disney-parks-moms-panel-search-thread.3629923/

Congrats to you guys! Last year just over 110 people made it into Round 2. Out of that I think they took 9 maybe 10 people for the panel. I have not seen good numbers for this year.

The video prompt for the last two years was something about what makes Disney World a different destination for your family.

Interesting. How did you find out that only 110 made it to the second round? I only ask because I know it's super difficult to find stats. Thanks.

I use to keep the thread on DisBoards for the panel but a few years ago I had a death in my family and my focus got a wee bit messed up, so I stopped leading the thread. Now most of the activity is on FaceBook and people use different apps to keep track.

When I had the thread, I kept records of who made it, where they were from, and how far they went in the panel search. The great majority of people who were involved in the process were members on DisBoards to one extent or another. Some only joined to report in that they had made it to such and such round. Therefore it was pretty easy to look at the numbers on each round.
