    Post Walt Disney World Moms Panel Forum to Launch 1/08

    Walt Disney World momspanel




    Disney.com Announcement
    9/6/07


    Have you and your family experienced Walt Disney World® Resort? Are you a self-proclaimed expert on all there is to see and do? Well, if so, then we'd like to hear from you!

    We are currently looking for 10-12 individuals to become part of an exciting new online forum set to debut in January 2008. This new team will be invited to share views of their own Walt Disney World® vacation experiences, as they answer questions and provide advice to families planning a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort.


    ----------------------------

    With more than 20 Resort hotels, four Theme Parks, two Water Parks, shopping, dining, entertainment and more, Walt Disney World® Resort can leave some visitors feeling a bit overwhelmed.

    That's why we're creating the Walt Disney World Moms Panel, a new online forum of vacation advisors made up of everyday people who will answer questions, offer advice and address specific concerns of families in the process of planning a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort.

    And that's where you come in.

    Whether it's when to visit Walt Disney World® Resort or what to see once you get here, we know you make most of the vacation decisions for your family. You do it all — and stay on top of your family's daily "to do's" to boot! Currently, we're recruiting 10-12 individuals for this new panel of vacation advisors. If you would like to be considered for this special online opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.

    The deadline for all submissions is October 5, 2007!

    Participants must:

    * Be 18 years of age or older.
    * Have access to a computer and an Internet connection.
    * Be familiar with Walt Disney World® Resort and have visited at least once in the last 12 months.
    * Be fluent in the English language.
    * Complete at least eight written responses per week.
    * Provide your opinions and feedback.
    * Submit an autobiography and personal photo to be posted online.
    * Be available to travel to Walt Disney World® Resort from December 8-12, 2007.
    * Be willing to participate for a minimum of 6 months.
    * Not be current employees/Cast Members of The Walt Disney Company or any of its subsidiaries, must not be immediate family members of a current employee/Cast Member of The Walt Disney Company or any of its subsidiaries, and must not currently reside with a current employee/Cast Member of The Walt Disney Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, participants must not be employees, contractors, advisors or consultants for, must not hold more than a de minimis ownership interest in, and must not serve on the Board of Directors of, any entity (other than The Walt Disney Company or any of its subsidiaries) which owns or operates any hotel, resort or theme park located in Orange, Osceola, Lake or Seminole Counties, Florida.

    Persons who are selected as panelists will receive a complimentary trip to Walt Disney World® Resort in preparation for this exciting program.

    Figment,

    Thanks so much for the info. This comes close to my dream job. I would love to work at WDW as a greeter and help people with what to see and where to eat. Only hitch my dh says Orlando is no place to raise children and I know deep down in my heart he's right. I also beleive that if you live close enough and your children are able to go whenever they want it loses some of the magic. Anywho THANKS!!!

    Okay, so it's called the "moms panel," but I don't see anything in the description saying you actually have to be a mom.

    The only thing I didn't like was the requirement that you have to have gone in the last 12 months. I went in June of '06 but because of scheduling we couldn't go until December '07. I didn't see that till after I signed up.

    1) Because Mom's do most of the WDW planning.
    2) So, it's good marketing to have a Mom answer a Mom.

    There isn't.

    There's some equal opportunity fine print included:

    It is our policy to provide equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital status, covered veteran status, mental or physical disability, pregnancy, or any other basis prohibited by state or federal law.

    I am seriously offended that this i just for "Moms" Not jst because I am a guy but because it seems that this is only good if you are a parent.

    Me too! I thought this sounded great and then I got to that requirement and stopped reading. I also went in June of '06 but haven't been able to get back . Oh well!

    In case anyone misunderstood, you don't have to live in Orlando to be a part of the momspanel. It's all online.

    Applications are being accepted until October 5th or until they reach 5000. It also states that you will only be notified if your considered for round two of the selection process.

    Good Luck everyone!
    I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

    I just put mine in!

    I noticed there is a fine print disclaimer at the bottom of the application that they are not bias on male/female, etc,etc,etc - so guys - give it a go!

    Here it is: It is our policy to provide equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, marital status, covered veteran status, mental or physical disability, pregnancy, or any other basis prohibited by state or federal law.

    Sorry - I just noticed Jason had already put the disclaimer in his post.

    Well, I put in an application, even though I'm not a mom yet. I'm not too sure I'd be able to get off work for the December trip, but I figure I'll cross that bridg when I come to it.

    This is very interesting.

    I got asked several months ago to join the Disney Screening Room. It is 300 moms who are polled, surveyed, etc, about Disney movies. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and they have sent us many little perks here and there!

    But that was by invitation...not application. How they picked me to invite, I don't know!

    I just sent in my application, but only after did I read the requirements. It says you have to be available to go Dec 8-12, but I'm already going the 14-20. Hmmm, guess if I get picked, I'll worry about that later.
    Up Next...January 2009 - POR
