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?

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!

I would love to tell them about my dedication to the brand by getting Disney tats, but I think that might be too unique for Disney
Thank you! I also saw they will be accepting essays as well as videos. I am not good @ videos, and some people spend so much time on them - do you think an essay entry would have the same chance as a video?

First, let me tell you that the panelists have no inside knowledge as to how the application process will run this year. However, if it's like last year, you will not have a choice in the matter! Since the beginning of time, first round has been three essay-type questions. Last year, I believe the requirement for round 2 was a combination of an essay AND a video. I'm not sure what the criteria will be this year but whatever it is, you will need to follow all steps and it's not necessarily an either/or. If you do have to submit a video, just remember, they want to get to know YOU, not your video editing skills!

Just throwing this out there, but it seems to me having a Disney type blog helps.
ETA: Let me clarify that it seems as if it doesn't hurt if you are 'known' in the Disney social media world.
I could be totally off on that though.

I would love to apply for this, especially since they are FINALLY looking for some Disneyland representation, but the truth of the matter is that I wouldn't be able to attend the "training" days at WDW, as much as I'd want to. I have young kids at home and a husband that can't take off time whenever he feels like it (as well as no family around to watch my kids). It's a bummer, although I doubt I'd be "chosen" anyway.
I sort of don't get why they schedule this so that the "training" falls during the school year, when it's called the Disney MOMS panel. You'd think they'd keep that in mind. Most moms can't just up and leave their families for days at a time...
Why not do this application process in the spring and then have the training happen during a school break period?
