2011 Moms Panel applications coming soon

[PopPhan]

Anyone else not receive a reply one way or another? I haven't received anything either way. I hope I didn't inavertently delete it when I was deleting messages off my phone inbox. Anyway to find out if I did or did not receive a message that may have gotten deleted? Or is it just that if we didn't receive anything, we didn't get chosen?

The initial posting on the Moms Panel application page stated that only those selected to move on to the next level would be notified due to the sheer number of applicants (20,000)

I didn't get an e-mail last night, or today, so I guess I didn't make it.....again!! Well....there's always NEXT year!!!

Oh, ok! After reading that some said they didn't make it, I thought maybe they all got an email, one way or another. I deleted some email messages off my phone this morning and noticed at the last minute that one was from Disney and I panicked thinking I may have deleted it. (Which still may be true if I did receive one). I wish there was some way to find out if I did indeed receive one but lost it. My phone was set to "delete from phone and inbox" and I didn't realize it until after I had deleted it. Just my luck!

I'm still in shock, but I made it to round two. I didn't think I had a chance since I'm not married & have no kids ... all I can say is wow, it was a big surprise. I know it's a little early to say, but keep trying each year everyone, you never know what they are looking for - next time it could be you!

Very dissapointed. I just got my turn down email. My sympathy to all the others that did not get picked, don't know what it takes but it seems most of us just aren't wanted. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everyone from I'cot that was chosen in round 1 are picked for the final panel. Keep us updated.

Congrats to mjaclyn and ILoveLegos, and good luck with Round 2!

I got my "thanks, but no thanks" email - I'll just have to try again next year! Do you think they give extra points for persistence?

[DisneyMom12]

I got the sorry you weren't chosen letter as well. Good luck to those who made it. I will try again next year.

To double check if you were chosen for Round 2, you can sign into the Mom's Panel website and click on the link to submit an application. If you haven't advanced, it will say you're not authorized.

Ok, I'll try that! Thanks!

[pixiesmimi]

Rats! Didn't make it! Well, I'll just keep trying. Congratulations to those that advanced. Hope you make it!

I think they actually subtract points for repeated attempts.

Okay, maybe not, but it is starting to feel like it.

I just got a THanks, but you're rejected letter oh well i knew it was a long shot.

Congratulations and good luck -- I sure hope our Intercotees advance all the way!!

[pixiesmimi]

Those of you who haven't heard anything yet (like me), have hope because I just now got my "rejection" email. I don't know if they just got around to sending it now or it was sent in response to my inquiry to them this morning. But at least I'm sure now and don't have to worry that I deleted "the important" email saying I had advanced. Sad about it but will try again next time. Those chosen to advance this year prove that it does pay to keep trying. Good luck to all!

Very disappointed how few people from this site reached the second round. Like Melanie said, it seems another site seems to dominate the panel. What a strange coincidence. :shakehead:

I didn't advance, either. Not really surprised. I'm not sure the panel is completely ready for a 22 year-old, single guy quite yet.

[T-Belle]

I got my rejection e-mail today too . Good luck to fellow Intercot friends that made it to round 2 and for the rest of us...well..there's always next year!

The panel barely admits the existence of men, so yeah, a single guy is really long odds.

I think one of the reasons that the certain other forum seems to dominate the list is because they do get more traffic (AFAIK). If more people come to intercot, then more people from intercot will (probably) make the panel.

Just wanted to pop in and say congratulations to our Intercotees who are moving on to the next round. Good luck with your Round 2 submissions!

Also, I don't think there is any objection to having men on the panel. So far we have 8 which I think is wonderful for a Moms Panel. More the merrier!

8 of what, 48? I'm not counting that as any blow for equality of anything. IMO, it never should have been a "Moms Panel," but rather, an "Experts Panel" - and included singles, childless couples, parents, aunts & uncles, and so forth. But Disney decided to make it a "Moms Panel" and then graciously allow for a fairly small number of men. I'm not terribly impressed by that, to be honest.

I still wish all the current crop all the best of luck, but I do think that Disney is ignoring some very well qualified people (and no, not just me. )

Congratulations to the two I'cotees that made it to the next round!!! Also, Good Luck!!!

I got my 'sorry, you are reject letter' from them too.....

I think we all get so excited about this because we ARE knowledgeable and HELPFUL....so I say we have OUR OWN panel right here and we are ALL memebers!!!
