Today WAS the day!

And....

I MADE IT TO THE 2ND ROUND FOR THE DISNEY MOM'S PANEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh.

I darn near passed out when I saw the e-mail in my inbox.

I am currently shaking, nearly hyperventilating, crying and laughing at the same time.

This puts me ONE step closer to making my dream come true.

Now, I have three more essays to answer by Friday.

Then, I wait to see if I made it to the final round -- which involves a phone interview.

And, if I make that, they will pick 10 people for the 2010 panel.

(Close to 20,000 people applied for this year's panel. I am one of 200 to make it to the 2nd round).

Deep breaths, deep breaths.....

    That is crazy - 20,000 people entered. Very fun!

    So may I ask a question, what is the Disney Panel exactly??

  2. the Disney Mom's Panel is a group of moms (and currently 1 dad) who offer free vacation planning advice @ the mom's panel web site.

    anyone can submit a question about planning a vacation to walt disney world or the Disney cruise line and the panelists will answer as many questions as they can. to date i think they've answered close to 30,000 questions. not every question gets answered due to the high volume!

    it's a great planning resource because a trip to WDW must be PLANNED if it's going to be low stress and fun. :)

  3. Excellent. Good for you!

    Is this a paid position? Like will this be your next job opportunity? Or is it more of a hobby?

  4. If I make it to the panel, it is a volunteer position. The panelists are not employees of Walt Disney World, they are independent contractors.

    But it's still a dream opportunity and I'm so excited!!!!
