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

[Amy18]

The five stages of MP rejection:

1. Hope: This uplifting subject line sounds good!
2. Anger: Why did they trick me with that uplifting subject line?! What meanies!
3. Denial: I'll bet an email will be coming any minute saying it was all a mistake and they're going to let me skip R3 and jump right onto the panel
4. Sadness: Whhhhyyyy don't they want meeee
5. Pettiness: Well, if Disney doesn't want me I'll just cancel all my upcoming trips! Take that Disney!
6. Amnesia: Gotta go on that trip so I'm eligible next year! 20-whatever here I come! There's no stopping me this year! Wahoo!

Yeah that Right now I am stuck in #2

Congratulations to those who made it to Round 3!

I was also a "no".

I'm truly amazed that some of you didn't advance, especially after seeing your answers and videos. I wish it was clearer what exactly they are looking for but I guess then the decisions would be even more difficult. If only it was like a test and you could get your paper back showing the answers that were incorrect.

You are all wonderful people and I hope to have the strength to do this again with you next year!

Must admit I double checked my email, AFTER the rejection letter!

 

[Canadian Disney Mom]

We were debating trying to sneak a trip in at the end of December. We were waiting to see if I made it to the panel as I only have a few 2012 vacation days left. Looks like it might be time to see if I can find some good flights...

Fabulous! Love it. Sad that it's true though.

Alright I changed my mind. All you losers are making me feel better. We should form a Disney Mom Rejects support group. Wait- we already have!

I love you guys

I've gone through hope and am currently in sadness or maybe denial (I did have a dream the other night that I found out 2 hours before my phone interview that I made it to Round 3). Thanks for making me smaile right now!

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.

YEAHHHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS! Glad to see one of us DelMarVa girls has made it through to Round 3 =D Best of luck to you in Round 3!

 

[RNMAMA]

I guess I should post my video for you all so you know what NOT to do next year...

 

[Marshay]

I am happy to say that I received some good news that I will be moving on to the final round, but at the same time I am so sorry to everyone not getting the email they had hoped to receive this evening. I have been there 5 times before myself, and there is no other way about it - it just hurts.

I MADE IT TO ROUND 3 FOR DCL!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!

So so excited, but I can't believe that so many of you got No's. I am so sorry gals and guys. It's all about timing though, right? Not that that makes it any easier. I hope you'll still be here for support though!!!!!! I couldn't have gotten through this waiting without you all!!!!

Congratulations to you both!!

I was started to get worried there for a bit that the DMP was purposely rejecting (almost) all Dissers.

So glad to see more Dissers are going through!!

Best of luck to you!

Yeah, me too!

 

[mjaclyn]

Is there anyone we haven't heard from yet besides Baseball Mickey?

 

[karenTX]

I'm a no too. Heartbroken, depressed, angry, just so sad...

 

[DisneyJeanie]

Yeah, me too!

Me too!
I kind of want to see one of those that made it through.

 

[Amy18]

Yeah, me too!

No need, I posted mine a long time ago -- perfect example! Don't be yourself, don't look relaxed, and don't talk about your favorite memory, make one up!

Maybe it was my outfit. But, I blame it on my hubby, he sucks at shooting video. Next year, I am hiring James Cameron and his crew

 

[cbkamommy]

So who made it through for DLR? These boards are moving so fast I can't keep up!

STOP! You are killing me!

 

[cbkamommy]

For those that made it through....what was your magic that did it? Please give us a little hope for next year

I'm thinking the same thing!!! I know my essays were good, but my video was sort of silly. I thought about telling the story of taking my step-dad to Disney for the last time before he died of ALS. But I really wanted to show the judges my true self... silly, upbeat, and smiling! I believe that's what Disney is all about. Being able to put aside your worries and your sadness and be able to immerse yourself in the magic. Now of course I second guess myself, that I should have gone for the sob story and tried to pull the judges heartstrings.
