Disney Vacation 'Know-It-Alls' Can Apply for 2009 Moms Panel Sept. 8-19

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Disney Parks undertakes its search in September for a group of park-savvy parents to be named the 2009 Walt Disney World Moms Panel, following in the footsteps of the first-ever online Walt Disney World Moms Panel which has been fielding and answering thousands of vacation questions in 2008.

The quest is for 16 parents who pride themselves on being Walt Disney World "know-it-alls" and have an undying passion to share their Disney knowledge with others at www.disneyworldmoms.com. From Sept. 8 through Sept. 19, interested applicants can visit www.disneyworldmoms.com/2009 to apply for the panel. The application process begins with a series of questions and three brief essays -- about their family, why they are a great Walt Disney World vacation planner and their favorite Disney vacationing tip.

"The first-ever Disney Moms Panel has responded to more than 9,000 questions from vacation planners this year. They have offered our guests countless tips to plan a magical vacation at our resort," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "We thank the 2008 panel for their contributions and look forward to working with a new group of parents."

Since the launch of www.disneyworldmoms.com in January 2008, the current 12-person panel has responded to questions covering just about anything from how to sign up for a character dining experience to what items are allowed in the parks.

I will apply for this....but that Mom's Panel thing is a bit of a tender spot for me. Last year in September, I went on a cruise the week they announced this. By the time I got back, they had already received all the applications they could handle and had closed the application process. I was so bummed! You have no idea! Well, I wasn't going to let a silly thing like no applications being accepted at this time stop me, so I wrote an essay....one of the most eloquent I could possibley muster....and overnighted it to WDW mom's panel board, return receipt. Somebody got it. Although I never heard a thing.

I have to say, though...that not getting on the Mom's panel is precisely what prompted me to find the Dis! I couldn't be happier with that!

I had a feeling this would be for you Ami, something to hold you over till you get your dream job of FGM.

Ami, this would be a great new thread topic! It's interesting to find out how others found dis and/or dis camping forum!

I found disboards because we love Disney and I was trip planning. A couple of years later I was browsing and saw the camping forum! We're definitely a camping family so I started reading. Next thing I know....FW here we come! It's the great people and humor that keep me coming back!

I think you should start the thread Sonya. Good idea.

I don't know how you do it, Denise! No wonder Frank is always so happy!

I just looked up my letter. It does sound maybe a little fanatical.....maybe I scared them and that's why they didn't write back

If anybody's interested, here is what I wrote: (yes...it's loooooong!)

Dear Mickey or Minnie *o*,

My excitement at the moment is about to over flow since I discovered the “Mom‘s Panel!” I have been a "stay-at-home" mom for 12 years and a Disney enthusiast all my life! My excitement subsided for only a day when I realized that applications were no longer being accepted. How did I miss that? However, being a determined mom who will not take “no” for an answer, I decided to find a way to get discovered! Read on ~you will not be sorry.

I caught the Disney fever as a child. I remember when Walt Disney World was new and Magic Kingdom was the whole world. You could stay at the Polynesian, Contemporary, or Fort Wilderness and see Cinderella's Castle in the most beautiful horizon ever made by human hands! The monorail was magical in and of itself and you were the luckiest kid in the world if you got to ride up front with the driver!

I have a vivid memory of sitting on the dock at the Polynesian Resort and watching the construction of the Grand Floridian, dreaming of the day I would get to stay there. When I finally walked through the entrance and heard the piano music and saw the bird cage and all the sunlight and greenery, I knew I had witnessed something fantastic! It is that attention to detail, that creation of ambiance that keeps me captivated! As a little girl, my dad took me on Disney vacations and they are the best memories I have. I have made it a mission to give my own three daughters those same memories and maybe even make new ones for myself.

I love a good mystery. I love nothing more than to unlock the mystery of what our next vacation will be like. What haven’t we done yet? From taking advantage of extra magic hours, to which restaurants we will try for the first time and which ones we'll enjoy again. To the shows we will see, and the activities we will do, and where we will meet Mickey himself! I always start by choosing a Disney World Resort. I love them all! I am a little partial to the Polynesian and Fort Wilderness, I admit, but each one is spectacular! There is one for every mood, every passion, every idea of the perfect vacation! When I book that Resort, it feels as if my vacation has already begun. Each trip is full of new life experiences that Disney seems to so effortlessly provide.

I am hungry for knowledge! I read everything I can on Disney. I research and try to stay on top of what is new or changing. I pay attention to the specials they offer and the events that they host. I simply can't get enough of that magic!

Well, I love to plan trips so much, that I started helping my friends when they took trips to Disney. I gave them tips and tricks and told them about "not-to-miss" stops along the way. I shared with them how to find all the hidden magic at their resorts and some lesser known activities they might enjoy. Word spread, and all of a sudden I am getting contacted by utter strangers who say, "I heard from 'so and so' that you are the keeper of the Disney secrets! Would you help me with my vacation?" I have helped with trips based on the experience they would like to have, trips on a budget, trips on no budget, trips for families, Grand Gatherings and couples. I LOVE doing this!

Please write back and tell me what my next step should be. I will be dedicated to this panel and an asset to it. I have found that my passion for Disney is infectious!


Have a magical day!
Ami

Ami had I known before that you were the Disney expert I would've requested your help in planning my trip rather then getting a TA. You can still help if your bored.

Yeah? You mean it?!

Don't be mean! Just because you hate WDW! At least Denise understands!

I'd be happy to!

 

[Just Beachy]

Ami! I had no idea you were an expert! Well I'm glad I found out now! And YOU KNOW I'm going in Nov and you didn't OFFER any suggestions or help!? Hmph! Should I be insulted? If you want to, I would love any suggestions of "must do's" and "not-to-be-missed's".
