Who all applied for the WDW Mom's Panel today? Let's get a DISer on the Panel!!!

[Queenie]

I've applied too, keeping my finger's crossed now.

 

[FlyingBelle]

Me too!

I would love to see the 100 word applications of those who make it

 

[DVCsince02]

I applied too, just remembered when I saw the thread on here! So what is the next step? Do we just sit and wait for the call? I have never done this before!

Welcome to the waiting room. We now wait for the e-mail from Disney saying if you've made it to round 2 or not.

Me too! All I could think of was, "What can get me from the NO WAY pile to the MAYBE pile????" For the people that are able to do that...

Add me to the list of those who applied.

The manager of my local Disney Store asked me yesterday if I wanted to join them as a seasonal CM for the holidays. I laughed and told him it would get in the way of my WDW Mom's Panel application!

Funny thing (to me anyway) was the next part - he looked at me as if he'd been hit by a bus and then asked me what it was! I just looked at him and said " Hello - Synergy?" (he knows I'm an ex-Disney Store CM). Apparently they don't tell California DS CMs about WDW happenings!

Bret's answers to his questions were in the articles I posted a page back or so.

Thanks, I skipped right past it the first time. I just spent some time reading it and I'm even more excited for my trip in about 36 hours!

Thanks for posting the link.

Bret's answers to his questions were in the articles I posted a page back or so.

I read Bret's answers from last year but the questions this year were different then last years. Unfortunately, I didn't include in the first question enough things about me and mostly talked about my family. Last year I only gushed about my love for Disney and didn't make it to the 2nd round so this year I didn't gush at all. Who knows what they are looking for The only thing I regret is not mentioning the amount I time I spend on the Dis. Oh well... God bless Bret for keeping his answers though -- I didn't even think about doing that. His articles are a great read.

 

[DVCsince02]

I didn't keep my answers from last year either but after reading those articles I decided I was going to keep them this time.

Two of the questions were very similar to last year's, but the third question was different.

I did mention the DIS and another site I like, as well as being DVC members, and how I am planning 2 Disney cruises for 2009.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Gosh you guys...I think my answers may have been way too brief now. I didn't keep my replies either, but can tell you I only used about 50 words for each question. Darn!

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Ok I broke down and applied. How fun!!! I didnt think I was qualified but what the heck I love Disney.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Ok I didnt think I was qualified but what the heck I love Disney.

IMHO...that should be all the qualifications a person needs.

 

[zoie101]

count me in!
i applied as well
heres keepin my fingers crossed one us us makes it

 

[Avery'sMom]

I just applied as well, Good luck to all!!!!

 

[cobbler]

I applied, if I make it great. If not that is ok because at least I threw my hat in the ring

 

[pschnebs]

Ditto for me, cobbler. I have to wonder - do they pretty much disqualify you right off the bat if you're not actually a mom?

I wouldn't think so since Bret is on this year's panel and he's a "dad"!

I threw my hat in the ring too. I really hope this works 'cause next year I won't be able to apply because I won't have been there in the last 12 months. Oh well, good luck to everyone else!

 

[DSNY4ever]

I think maybe Pschnebs is asking because he/she doesn't have kids? I don't have kids so I didn't apply. I figured those would probably be tossed out even though I didn't see anything about it in the rules.

But how does this work for you guys- does the public get to vote at some point in the contest or is it all just chosen by Disney? I would love to support the Disers if I can!

heck you never know. I have a cousin who is like a second mom to us. She has no kids of her own, but she travels with us quite a bit. I think there are lots of unique circumstances that can always be considered. I don't think there is a blueprint to a 'family' these days. It can't hurt to try, all they can say is no!

I am a new mom with a 10 month old, but i still went for it. I have lots of experience travelling with other kiddos in the family etc.
