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

[baseballmickey]

I'm seriously useless to my hubby, kids, parents, neighbors & friends right now----If you want, meals, laundry, groceries & help of any kind, give me about a week or so---then if I make Round 3, put it on HOLD for a while---Because I'll be living it up! Woot Woot!!

Here's my little USELESS rap:

I act like a lazy bones
even though I'm at home,
useless when it comes to dishes
If only I had some Disney wishes
I'd stop picking up doggy poo poo
or doing the laundry from 1 till 2

No more grocery shopping or
helping thy neighbor
cell's going dead & I need to check
Disboards, Facebook & Twitter

My hubby fears, chores
are a thing of the past
I'd rather send a tweet
to a new Disney peep, than mow the grass
don't worry, I told him, Get off your as-

Team Soft Serve, Team Pineapple
really doesn't matter,
we're in this together
& bonded forever

Disney's Moms Panel Search
sure has been fun,
It would be even better, IF I WON!

I'm useless..lately

Very nice!!

I know! I love telling that story.

Here's another one:
About 10 years ago, DH and I went on a with a bunch of our long-time to Eastern Caribbean on Carnival. We had an amazing time!

When we stopped in St. Martin, we took a cab over to the French side for a day. Well, the guys were all on the beach playing volleyball, and us girls went in the water. Well, we are watching the guys, and they are all distracted, hubby and his bff keep getting hit in the face with the ball! so we look in the direction where they are to see what's going on....three of the dancers from our ship are on the beach, TOPLESS so I to hubby and he's all . In no flat, we see this gorgeous creature walking past us. he is walking past us on the and he is this talk, dark, handsome, very built guy carrying a Royal Caribbean tote bag Damn! But, the best part - ALL he is wearing is a white thong We could not get out of the water fast enough! Scrambled for our cameras because we knew no one at home would believe us. Then we proceed down the beach , very casually following him , well, he passed the sign that says "Clothing optional beyond this point, NO cameras allowed". Awe, ! Needless to say, we had a very eventful day at the ,

I can vaguely recall stumbling upon a topless beach in the bahamas when my roommate and I took a cruise on the old Big Red Boat. Unfortunately, the people who chose to exercise that particular freedom were... well, it was like seeing my grandmother topless. As I've matured, I've gained a deeper, less superficial appreciation for women... But I was only 19 when this occurred, so I felt traumatized.

All I have to say is that I better make it to R3! I am SO prepared for that phone interview! Instead of having DMP dreams, I wake up paniced trying to think of a good answer to a question Laura's asked me! So instead of getting much needed sleep, I'm prepping for the phone interview that may never happen!

It's official. We're all certifiable!

I an taking the opposite approach. perhaps by being unprepared, murphy's law will come into play???

It's SO interesting that we have some actual dance moms in the waiting room!! That made me think of another question... If you have children, are they in any activities? If so, what are they involved in?

DD(5) is now in her third year of dance. She is taking a Broadway/Jazz class this year. she also started playing soccer this fall. She seems to like it, and I wonder if she'll want to part again in the spring.

Just did my on-line check-in for our upcoming F&W trip. We leave next Friday. So excited!!

Green with envy!! Have a great trip!!

Can someone please explain the Team Softserve & Team pineapple thing to me? Sorry but I was late getting onto this thread. TIA!

Team pineapple is the best!! The soft serve people are a little weird.

(just kidding)

I know the feeling!!! When I got my R3 acceptance email in 2010 we were sitting at Finding Nemo the Musical waiting for the show to start. I was so surprised that I screamed out loud!! Of course DH was embarrassed that I had drawn attention to myself, but I couldn't help it! I was so excited!! The best part was, I had my interview while lounging by the pool at Bay Lake Tower watching my kids run around in the fountains. It was great!! (The not so great part came a few days later when I got the 'no thank you' call.. at least I was home and could cry into my own pillow! LOL)

I think all of you would probably be picked before me. That said, if I had put money on one person to make it, I'd bet on you!!

Hi friends!

If you have a moment while we're OH SO PATIENTLY waiting to hear news...could you do me a favor?

I entered a contest on FB in which I can win running gear / shoes - and with >100 miles logged a month, I need to replace shoes pretty often. Could you vote and help?

VOTE HERE

I reallllly appreciate it! I have been in the lead for a few weeks and have suddenly dropped to 2nd! The contest ends tomorrow.

Thank you so much!!!

that link wouldn't work from my phone. I'll try later from an actual computer.

It's fun and aggravating at the same time. I should have gotten so many more!!! Couldn't focus![/QUOTE]

the time crunch got me - only was able to name 32!

 

[DisFanInCO]

Hi everyone! Been crazy busy at work so I'm way behind on posts but it looks like you all have been having fun in the waiting room!

Trying to keep my mind off rd3 by going to see Wreck-It Ralph tonight and then flying to Oregon tomorrow for the Buffs vs. Ducks football game. We're going to get our butts kicked but should still be a fun trip ;-) ill be checking in from time to time to make sure I don't miss any exciting news but otherwise hope you all have a pixie dusted weekend!

As a fellow "Buff" that now lives in WA....I hope they aren't killed too terribly but not likely...maybe they will have some PNW luck brought them the win against WSU....but probably not! My DH is just happy they won at least one game this year as he was starting to think they wouldn't even do that.

Have fun! Wish we were going

I feel like I am in MPA (Mom's Panel Anonymous)...my name is Desiree and I have been a lurker here!:

Hello Desiree, to our group! Yes, any day is open for news--Sat or Sun also, Good Luck!

Sign me up for Moms Panel Anonymous(e) too! I'm just hoping that we hear either before or way after Hurricane Sandy hits. Our community ALWAYS loses power during storms, sometimes for as much as a week at a time! I'm stressing that I'll totally miss any lucky e-mail that may be sent my way! The best thing of all would be if this Hurricane decides to totally miss the East Coast and just go out into the Atlantic.

Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine, stay safe!

Hey Folks,
The "Unofficial List" has been updated with info that has been PMed to me. The Round 2 page is still open for anyone to input their own info... You can certainly PM me, but you do not need to.

I am cheering each of you on to Round 3, and beyond....

Thank's Melanie for spreadsheet & everything!

@Amy18.... Amy Hodges is the fabulous lady who set up the Twitter list. Here are the links to both this year's and last year's lists:2013: https://twitter.com/amymchodges/disneymomspanelhopefuls132012: https://twitter.com/amymchodges/disneymomspanelhopefuls12

Thank you Amy, for the list & support!




Talking to another MPH earlier who mentioned possible PR firm at WDW today/tomorrow in potential meetings about R3/MP selections. All of this is total Twitter speculation, but it might have validity, Remember no one here knows anything for certain....that I know of.........

Made me excited though.....

Yay! Happy to meet another Buff fan! It hasn't been a great year, that's for sure! Hoping we don't have a total meltdown and that we score at least once. ;-) LOL

If I remember correctly, there was a PR firm involved in years past-- I believe it was mentioned in one of the training trip reports. So it looks like there could be some progress being made!

Yes, last year for my R3 interview, I had one lady from the PR firm on my call. Hope this means you all get good news soon!

Okay, that just made my stomach drop a little bit.

I am so nervous and yet so excited at the same time.

Team pineapple is the best!! The soft serve people are a little weird.

(just kidding)

Whatevs, Team Pineapple are a bunch of fruit loops

BTW, I'm really excited by your mention of the Big Red Boat! I went on it when I was 7 and had totally forgotten about it until now! It was good times as I recall, and definitely no memory of any traumatizing nude beaches

My thoughts exactly! My heart just jumped in to my throat! I mean, I am DYING to find out about round 3, but at the same time I think waiting has been half the fun, we are all having such a good time!

I prefer cocoNUTS to fruit loops, thank you very much!
Go team Pineapple!

Yes, so excited---this PR person tweeted she was on her way to WDW today!

Yes, last year for my R3 interview, I had one lady from the PR firm on my call. Hope this means you all get good news soon!

Same one as last year, I believe---the picture of the pink binders were from them! (supposedly)

Okay, that just made my stomach drop a little bit. I am so nervous and yet so excited at the same time.

My stomach is churning also!


Pixie Dust Plus!!

I wonder what that means... If they have meetings with the PR people tomorrow is that a sign of at least 3 or 4 more days before emails go out?

I just keep telling myself.. "Keep Calm and Carry On"... It's not working!!

 

[mjaclyn]

LOL!!! I wouldn't even put money on myself!! Just don't blame me when you go broke next week because you lost it all! Lol

I know that Coyne PR is the one that works with Disney a good bit, so hopefully this means the end is near. If I remember last year correctly there were some interesting pics tweeted on a Friday, but we still didn't find out until late Thursday night the following week. Well at least Ill be able to raid the Halloween candy stash soon!! Baby Ruth's Beware!!!!

 

[ticofan]

I also put up a column for Round 3. So, if you move on, copy the Mickey Ears and paste them in your row!! Or, you can PM me that as well. I do love getting all your PMs, and you certainly are not bugging me.

I am cheering each of you on to Round 3, and beyond....

I am so excited to paste my Mickey Ears in the Round 3 column. I have everything crossed for luck.

Pixie Dust to All!!!
