to Round 3...And Beyond! Moms Panel Hopefuls and Friends

[Canadian Disney Mom]

Holy Cow! I made it to Round 3!!!! I had to reread the email, because last year the no email was so confusing! The subject title was "Wow! That's What We Said!"

I am so sorry for those who got the no email. Trust me, I know what it feels like.

Sorry it took me so long to post. I was out for a run when the emails came out.

Congrats!!!

I just wanted to post quick to say congrats to everyone who made it to Round 3!!

This Dis Dad made it to Round 2 again this year (last year as well) and while I followed along with the thread this year, I didn't participate or build up my expectations like last year. It has made the "No" easier to deal with. I have applied every year, so I am getting used to it. One of the years will be our year! Sorry to those of us who didn't make it, I know how it feels (over and over again!)

I really hope you guys who haven't made it feel like you've done something wrong! There are always so many amazing candidates, I can't even begin to imagine how impossible the decision was for Laura and the team.

You've all done a great job, and of the videos I've seen, I think you all did way better than I could have done myself. I just think the number of spots moving on is so limited and the candidates so passionate, there is no way not to disappoint some really incredible people.

I've talked to some of you personally, and I'm just as surprised as some of you guys that more of you didn't get the pixie dusted email you hoped for. Big hugs to all of you.

People are re-tweeting my tweet about the letter being confusing and not seeing very many yes's.

I have only seen the same 4 yes's on all the boards - passporter, DIS, Twitter, and FB! There has to be a BUNCH more, right???

So, DH just got home and I kind of broke down when I told him. I felt so silly to be crying, but he completely understands.

I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow, but it stinks right now.

I haven't broken down yet, I am too busy being angry.

Thank you for the good wishes!! I really hope no one feels like a loser. I remember the same sad feelings last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.....You just can't take it personally. Every one of us has something special. So now you remember these words if I don't make the panel, so you can give me a pep talk, too.

Here's the email for those that are curious:

Congrats! excited for you!

Thanks for sharing. I just wish the first sentence of the "sorry loser" letter was worded that way, but with a "I would like to thank you for applying, but at this time..."
