WDW Moms Panel Accepting Applications This Summer

[murphy1]

Had to share from the Moms Club Newsletter!! How exciting!!

As a Mickey Moms Club member, we want you to be the first to know that we will be holding the search for the 2009 Walt Disney World® Moms Panel soon. The search will take place later this summer so keep your eyes open for more details in an upcoming newsletter as well as on www.disneyworldmoms.com . And if you want to apply to be on the Walt Disney World® Moms Panel, start thinking about what makes your love of Disney unique!

Did you notice in the Mom's club letter poll, they asked about Crush n Gusher at Blizzard Beach? It's at Typhoon Lagoon. No wonder they didn't pick us for the first Mom's Panel. We know better than they do.

OH MY Gosh, I just checked out this web-site, and I want to be a Disney Mom...does anyone know how it works, or criteria?

They invited a number of people who were turned down to be on the Mom's Panel. I just responded to the invitation. I'm not sure how else to get in on it. Sorry.

This has kind of lost its appeal to me. I've visited the website a couple of times and I still come back to Intercot for all my info and interaction. Is anyone else still excited about it like they were when it first began?

The thing I was most disappointed in was the lack of range of the panel. They were all mothers with children of very young ages. No one represented the moms of teens well - I mean real teens not tweens. Nor had they had various experiences like anniversaries or engagements (we Moms have those to in case they were wondering). They also seemed to not be as much of experienced Disney pros as some of our own Intercot moms. Its still a cute site though. And the panel does their best I believe. I like checking it out and will def be submitting a new application this summer. In fact I think its kind of cool that theyre mixing up the panel - I totally wasnt expecting that.

Also did anyone notice that they have a link to Tonga Toast (recipe)? mmmmm

I wasn't chosen to be on the Mom's panel but received the invitation a couple of weeks later as a PP did. It is ok. I too still come back to Intercot for my info. They don't have a diverse panel that represents all age groups.

[Mickey91]

What I have been most disappointed in is the fact that they seem to give standard Disney answers for everything. You really don't get much more info from them than you do the website as a whole. I guess I'm always hoping someone will have more info than I already have. Intercot has me spoiled!

[ElenitaB]

Oh, good! Another chance to be rejected!

I was also pretty disappointed by the lack of diversity in their first panel: all moms of young kids, no one with physical challenges, etc.

I'm happy with our own ICOT moms! Y'all rock!

I was bummed the first time that I didn't qualify to apply since it had been more than 12 months since we had visited WDW. But I too think the site & the responses are a little disappointing. I visited a few times & now I never even think about it. When I have free time to get on the computer Intercot is where I go!

[RockChalkKimball]

I agree with everyone else. I haven't found the answers they give to be very interesting. They sound like they are coming right out of Disney travel guide, as opposed to giving insight from those who have been there numerous times. I check it out occasionally, but as with all of you, I come to Intercot every day!!

I will certainly apply again, but I wish their criteria for selection were better. I don't know what more to say about being "unique". We are just your run-of-the-mill family that LOVES disney and I just happen to be a normal disney nut! I am the disney expert around my parts, but that doesn't really translate in less than 300 words.

And they had it listed as 'Cross Country Creek', not Castaway Creek!

They need to come to Intercot more often to get their info straight! (Am I allowed to call them Losers???!!!)

I will apply again, I want the Disney trips!!!! Hahahaha!!!! Seriously though, I too find their information lacking and rarely go to the site.

Here were the survey questions and results as of tonight.

That cracks me up that mistakes were made. Honestly, I applied for DisneyMoms, but I've never visited the site.
This seems to be my only source for information, and it works for me!

[mouseketeer mom]

I would be over the moon to be chosen for the Mom's panel.
But..
I really don't visit the site. The answers given rarely seem like personal answers. They seem like canned answers for the most part.

Exactly....they sure don't give a negative response to any questions

When I got that newsletter and saw they were accepting apps again, I thought "man....do I REALLY want to put myself through that wait and anticipation again to just be told NO" LOL. Then I thought --- OF COURSE I DO! I'm gonna give it another shot and try to be as witty and creative as I can be in 200 characters or less (wasn't that the length of those essay questions?) I am just SUCH a Disney sucker that being connected to WDW like that for a year would be an absolute DREAM

I missed out on the first time they accepted applications for the Moms Panel. Therefore, I wasn't able to jump on the bandwagon and have missed out on getting on the newsletter list, along with all of the goodies that went out a couple of months ago to everyone who applied the first time.

Could someone send me a link to the application site? I've checked the Mom's Panel website and didn't see anything.

It would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

My understanding is that it is not posted yet. When they are ready to accept applications it will be posted on the mom's panel site (www.disneyworldmoms.com) and will be announced through the Mickey Moms Club newsletter. Someone on Intercot will be sure to post it when they learn of the request for applications. Hang tight!

Great info. I'll share with DW
