ILoveLegos - how is the Mom's Panel working out? I remember reading your trip report and it sounded incredible.

[ILoveLegos]

Thanks for asking MizMissy!

The Moms Panel is still great fun! It has been a fabulous ride! I highly recommend it to everyone. I'm hoping that lots of Intercoters get to experience being a part of this unique group someday.

The newest opportunity will open in September. All of us moms & dads (& aunties) are so excited as the Moms Panel is about to enter its 5th year!

I hope to make it someday!!!

Might just have to give it another try...Have to get in on the first day, though...we travel to WDW on September 13th for 9 days!!!

Can someone link me to what this is about or give me ma brief rundown?

[HackLaSalle]

I'd like a run down too. I'm a single 20 (almost 30) something but I'd be really interested in sharing my Disney knowledge.

[LottaLubes]

OK, here's the run down...

The moms panel is a group of moms, dads and a grandma selected by Disney to answer questions each week from guests using Disney's intranet portal which is available to us 24/7. We have quotas and in turn we are compensated with Disney perks. New panelists will be invited to a 4 night training session in December to learn the ins and outs and to meet all the new panelists and some of us "seasoned" moms (I joined the panel in 2009). For panelists that serve a full year, they will receive a vacation for a family of 4.

Additionally, some panelists will be asked to attend PR events or star in a video clip. We also participate in other events such as Disney Moms on FB on Wednesday nights this past summer and if you follow Travelocity, we are currently being featured in their daily window seat blog as they count down to Disney's 40th anniversary.

You can find us at disneyworldmoms.com (there is also a link from any page at waltdisneyworld.com).

Anyway, I hope all Intercotees consider applying! It really is a lot of fun and I am very proud and blessed to be associated with such a wonderful group of people that represent the panel. And don't be shy if you are a dad...some of our best moms are dads!

Applications open in just a few days so get ready and good luck!!

I am 25, and no kids. I have wanted to apply for the Mom's Panel, as I think I would do a great job with all my Disney knowledge. I also think it would be smart to have my age group represented on the panel. I applied the 1st year with no luck - do you think they are only choosing people with kids?

[LottaLubes]

No, having children is not a requirement! Keep applying and if it's meant to be it will happen! That is what I like about the panel, the diversity it brings so don't let anything hold you back!

One thing I wanted to mention in case you all didn't know. In addition to general panelists, there are also panelists that specialize in Disney Cruise, Adventures by Disney and Disney Vacation Club. This year the panel will be adding a panelist(s) for runDisney and DisneyLand so think outside of the box when you apply. Be yourself and let them know the unique quality you can bring to the panel.

Good luck!

One of the application questions is "I love the below resort at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort because (finish the question in 100 words or less)".
Is this for my favorite hotel?
Sorry, it's early in the morning, and I want to make sure I am interpreting correctly.

That is how I interpreted it too.

[PopPhan]

Filled out the application, but now the site won't take it!! Hope the problem gets cleared up soon! I leave early tomorrow morning for WDW and won't be back before the window for applications closes!

EDIT: I think it may have had something to do with FireFox as my browser.....Tried on IE and everything worked fine!

Third time's the charm?!?!?!?

[wilcat]

Is everyone getting through? I keep getting error messages and my submissions won't go through. I have tried many times now. Anyone else experiencing this?

[disney obsessed]

I had no problem submitting but I am convinced that since my trip was three weeks over the one year mark they will automatically drop me. I felt I gave really good answers too.

They have to be able to elimate people some how. But I can dream!

[DisneyAggies]

Hey, howdy, HEY!!

Just stopping by to throw some extra pixie dust to my Icot family! GOOD luck to all!!

I'm so excited to see who joins our family!
