for Disney with people from all over. Does

a look at what Parks Blog and the Disney Parks Moms Panel site posted just a
few short minutes ago to kick off the process.
Become Part of the
Magic: How to Apply for Our Moms Panel
Do you love going on
Disney Parks vacations and sharing that love with others? Are you the go-to
person for your family and friends when they want to plan a magical Disney
vacation? Can you successfully communicate these tips to others in clear and
concise answers? Are you a stickler when it comes to grammar, spelling and
punctuation? If you answered yes to these questions, we want to hear from you!
In 2008, the Walt
Disney World® Moms Panel was created to serve as a forum of everyday people who
used their personal knowledge of Walt Disney World® vacation experiences to
offer advice to others.
Since then, the panel
has become a valuable resource for thousands of Disney Parks guests. It's also
grown since its initial launch to become the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Now, Disney Parks Moms Panelists not only help plan vacations for guests
heading to Walt Disney World® Resort, but also answer guest questions about
Disneyland® Resort, Disney Cruise Line®, Disney Vacation Club®, runDisney® and
ESPN Wide World of Sports® Complex.
What's It All About
Even though there are
plenty of planning tools to help navigate through your Disney Parks vacation,
it's still no easy task to plan a family vacation. With many theme parks,
dozens of resort hotels, water parks, luxury cruise ships, shopping, dining,
recreation, special events, entertainment and more, planning a Disney Parks
vacation can leave some guests feeling a bit overwhelmed even before they
arrive. That's where we like to help.
The Disney Parks Moms
Panel is an online forum of everyday people who
answer questions and offer advice based on their own experiences and opinions.
By visiting DisneyParksMomsPanel.com,
guests can ask real Moms and Dads their tips for getting the most out of a
Disney vacation. And, with an archive of questions that could fill Spaceship
Earth, guests visiting the Moms Panel website also can search volumes of
information provided in previously asked questions.
By sharing their own
opinions and experiences, Disney Parks Moms Panelists help plan magical visits
for guests vacationing at Walt Disney World® Resort, Disneyland® Resort, Disney
Cruise Line® and Disney Vacation Club®. They also help guests participating in
runDisney® events and accompanying youth sports teams to the ESPN Wide World of
Sports® Complex.
And that's where you come
in.
