LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Sept. 10, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — Have a passion for planning unforgettable Disney vacations? Know how to organize the ultimate team sports events at Walt Disney World Resort? Disney Parks today announced the 2013 Walt Disney World Moms Panel call for entries, featuring the search for its first-ever Sports Team Moms. The best draft picks for this position will have experience organizing team travel to sporting events at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex while incorporating the magic of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Disney is also seeking bilingual panelists and international travelers to provide valuable expertise for its visitors. Visit www.disneymomspanelsearch2013.com through September 14 to apply.
Kicking off its sixth year, the online trip planning forum’s park-savvy super Disney fans assist guests in creating memorable Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Aulani/Adventures by Disney, Disney Vacation Club and runDisney vacations. Since 2008, millions of visitors have accessed the immense library of questions and answers that have helped our guests plan the perfect Disney vacation. Guests can also access personal tips from both panelists and celebrities alike through the dozens of videos live on the site that cover a wide-range of topics including fun and “insider” tips.
“We are excited to continue the expansion of the Moms Panel this year, adding a new Sports Team Mom specialty and bilingual panelists to our team of Disney vacation planners,” said Leanne Jakubowski, Director, Social Media; Walt Disney World Resort. “This diverse panel of Disney fans has helped countless guests turn their vacation dreams into a reality. Some families return from their trip and respond to the panelists, thanking them for the magical vacation they had a hand in creating. Many of our panelists feel it is an honor to assist travelers from all over the globe in making memories that will last a lifetime.”
“For the past two years I have been blessed with the opportunity to share my love and appreciation for the most ‘Magical Place on Earth’ as a member of the Moms Panel,” said Marisol Lopez, bilingual panelist and Disney Cruise Line specialist. “Disney has provided my family with countless pixie-dusted moments we will never forget. I literally become emotional as I write my answers because I feel as if I am planning a trip for my family for each guest. Fun does not even describe it. It has truly been a life-changing experience for me. I encourage anyone who wants to share their Disney passion to apply. I still have ‘pinch me’ moments and cannot believe I have been given this amazing opportunity.”
How to Apply
Disney Parks will accept applications for the 2013 Walt Disney World Moms Panel from 9 a.m. EDT on September 10, 2012 through September 14, 11:59 p.m. EDT., or when 14,000 applications have been received. Those interested should visit disneymomspanelsearch2013.com to enter. The application process includes a series of written questions and submissions, with the final round in the form of a brief phone interview. Once the search is complete, the top candidates will be officially announced as members of the Walt Disney World Moms Panel in January 2013. Panelists must be available to attend a training session at Walt Disney World Resort in December 2012.
About the Walt Disney World Moms Panel
The Walt Disney World Moms Panel is an online forum where guests can get tips and insights for a Disney vacation from real moms, dads and grandparents who have mastered the art of planning Disney vacations. Guests can pose questions to the panelists in both English and Spanish, as well as gain access to other vacation-planning tools for booking a Disney vacation. Featuring just 12 members during its inaugural year in 2008, the panel now boasts 40+ park-savvy panelists as a result of the popularity of the site and an ever-growing number of questions submitted by curious parents. For more information and to meet the panelists, visit www.disneyworldmoms.com.

Not applying this year, but good luck with it all! My thought is that If you've organized any large group trips to WDW, I wouldn't be deterred by the "sports team mom" tag. Make a case for being a dance team mom, or band mom, or anything that fits the "organized large groups of kids" category.

Definitely counts me out, as I am neither bilingual (unless you count communicating with tweens/teens & animals another language... ...) nor a mom who's planned any kind of big event/trip to WDW. Oh well...
Question - didn't they used to have a "2 yr limit" to their panelists? And if so, wouldn't that open up the "generalized" category to applicants, as well? Or are they now keeping people longer than that? I can understand wanting to keep panelists that are really connecting with guests and doing a great job, but I thought originally there was a year limit to being on the Panel.

No Dsnygirl, you are not out on this count, the Disney Moms Panel is definitely looking for people who only speak only English too! They are just making a special effort to note that they are looking for bilingual candidates as well.
In like manner, the big trip planning experience is just a "new" specialty that they are looking for, but you might have some other talent that they are seeking this year. You never know ... I was chosen for the Disney Moms Panel despite the fact that I do not have kids - I was just an Aunt!
Hope this helps!

If you're at all interested, it wouldn't hurt to apply anyway. They might fill more slots than just the specialty ones they mention.

Oh how HAPPY I am to hear this!!! I do not have kids either, but we have 10 nieces and nephews (ages range from adult [my niece I'm close to is only 3 years younger than I am!], to 17 months old!) PLUS I have a 4 year old goddaughter! This is my first year applying, and I have no idea if I will make it to the next round, but I sure hope so! I didn't even get to talk about the fact that I'm an aunt to such great kids!

Got my rejection email yesterday. As I may never get to WDW again this was the last year I was able to apply. How did everyone else do? I hope to see a lot of Intercotee's on the panel this year so good luck to those of you who made it to round 2.

After technical issues, I was able to upload my video in time. It is nowhere near as good as I would have liked - but, I'm happy that I made it to the second round, again. (I did last year, as well.) Good luck to all

Congratulations to you, too!
Not that I am optimistic about this - the odds are EVER not in my favor - but did they post anywhere on the timeline for the next round? Just curious....

Oh my goodness! I have a phone interview next week for the Moms Panel.
If anyone has ANY advice..... any potential questions, etc. I'm all ears.
I'm totally pessimistic about getting picked, but I'm so excited that I get the chance to even talk to the Disney people!
Seriously, if anyone has made it to this point.... bring out the suggestion box!

Thanks!
I am looking at this the way I did sorority rush.... if they don't like me for who I am, I wouldn't want to be hanging with them either!
Who am I kidding? Of COURSE I want to hang with them!!!!
But in two hours, I can breathe easier and hopefully get a decent night's sleep again....
Next trip - New Years 2018!
