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

[Canadian Disney Mom]

I didn't make it.

Crap - sorry. I looked on twitter and it said you found Pixie Dust in your spam folder. My bad for not noticing it was from Round 2...

Sorry...

 

[wintergreen]

I'm out. Good luck to those who made it to R3!

I thought the email was a little odd, too.

I had to read it a couple of times before I actually got that it said no.

 

[Tiggsntx]

I made it to R3!!!!!! I was at my DD's dance class when I found out, so this is the first chance I had to get on the computer and post here! Still shaking from excitement!

Still thinking of all those out there that did not move on. I have been in your shoes for the last 4 years and can totally relate to the feelings of deflation, disappointment and sadness.....so to you all I say, just remember that you are still Disney Moms and Dads to the most important judges....your children. Hugs to you all!

I believe she's a DIS-er, but I can't remember her user name.

Yup - I just checked the list - its Cour10eB. So that is at least 2!

I just checked Twitter -- haven't seen any Yes people yet. (searched for WDWmoms, DisneyMP).

You know, I was reading the other day, a couple of MP trip reports and blogs from people who've applied in years past, and a TON of them got the "NO" email, and it was a mistake, and a day or two later they got a "YES" email!

I have not seen a single yes anywhere - none of the boards, no where. Not even Twitter!

I know it's a long shot, but do you think that happened this time? They seemed to have some issues with round 2 this year. I wonder if that's why there was such a delay between yesterday and Friday???

 

[SAHDad]

I HATE the way they worded this email!!!
The first paragraph is so exciting, I thought I got it!
It's not until the end of the second paragraph that you realize it says "sorry loser!"
And then the next paragraph is contradicting too!
Did anyone else get confused by this??? Or am I just stupid

It reads like all the other rejection letters I have gotten through the years.

I'll be honest - I never thought I would hit R2, let alone go all the way through. But, after being really, really, really ticked at the way runDisney handled the rollout of the Tink race, and seeing that the majority of the pics on the runDisney FB site are women, I was secretly hoping that the Moms Panel would try to correct some of that by chosing a guy for the runDisney specialty this year. Don't see it happening, however.

I'm trying to console myself with the fact that I have a trip coming up at the end of next month, and the marathon weekend in January, but I'm just not feeling it right now. And I'm worried that I will look at the final price tag for the Goofy trip, and think about how many states I could have crossed off my list with that cash instead.

Bleh. I'm dragging myself down here. So, to end on a high note - good luck to all the R3 people! Represent the Disboards, and make us all proud (and not a little envious!)

Oh one can only wish, right?

I hope its a mistake, but I don't think so. There are at least 2 Dis'ers who have had a yes

Can I join the pitty party?? I am out too. :-(

 

[DSRMary]

I'm out.

I'm out too.

I'm seeing lots of yes posts now on Twitter. She must have sent all the no emails first.

Still nothing from Jackie on twitter

Congrats Tiggnstx!! We are cheering you on!!


For everyone else who is not moving on, I am truly sorry for you. I can't imagine the pain/disappointment. Go ahead and have a good cry. Mope for a bit. Be sad. When you want something so badly, and are told no, it IS a big blow. Embrace the sadness.

Then when you are ready, get back on your Disney-love-wagon. You are still special. You are still a Disney mom (dad). You are still incredibly knowledgable about Disney. This does not change ... ever!!

 

[cckovach]

I hope one of the R3 will post their congratulatory email so we can see how it was worded.
