Disney Parks Moms Panel 2015

[nadira36]

Last year I kept saying to myself "What is the intent of the question or task".

In the case of the video, is the intent to see if you can produce a well-edited flashy video? No. The intent is to see your personality and how you do on camera. I know people that did YouTube worthy videos with music & lots of editing. Some even used old clips & pictures to produce their videos. They didn't make it to Round 3.

The same goes for the questions. They don't care what you choose as your favorite attraction, restaurant, or resort. They want to know the WHY behind your choices. They want to see your passion for Disney.

This is really great advice! I think this could certainly help me with painting a better picture with my, limited, words.

I've realized that if I don't get accepted onto the MP this year, I won't be able to apply again for 2 years. So this year will be my year!

Ahh! Gary "favorited" one of my tweets! I am a Twitter newbie and so not good at it! Ok, so it didn't have anything to do with the MP, but I just had to share!!

Gary tweeted another clue yesterday, hinting at something new that "oft goes with rice". There have been many guesses and one was correct, however, he won't say which one! Some of the guesses include an instant/minute round, a dietary/food allergy specialist, wedding specialist and Tokyo Disneyland specialist. Fun stuff!!

I looked through everybody's guesses, and the only one he "favorited" was one by a gentleman that guessed "twice" as in "twice as many panelists" would be chosen. What do you think?

I did not see the favorite on that tweet! Curiouser and curiouser.

Hi all! I think I will be throwing my hat into the proverbial ring this year as well! Applied several years ago but have been concentrating on grad school the past few years, but that is all finished now and I'm ready to focus all my spare energy on my first love!! Disney!!

He also favorited the response "Montana"

He has said in a previous tweet that there will be 16-22 new panelists.

Hi all! Just found this thread on Google while trying to find out what day the MP for next year opens up. I don't know how many times I've submitted for MP, but have never been past the initial phase. Didn't know so many people got further than that! Thanks for the info so far, good luck everybody!

Hey everyone! I am a newbie, but I am excited to be able to talk to other Disney fanatics. I am sure my friends are starting to think that disney is all I ever talk about. I am interested in the moms panel, but was wondering what are the requirements to even be able to try out: number of times you have visited or the length of time since your last visit...etc?

Hi! The only rule about visiting a Disney park is that it must be within the last 12 months. Number of visits and how long doesn't matter, as long as you are a Disney nut! There is a link somewhere in the early part of the thread that links to the Disney site and the Moms Panel if you want to check it out. Good luck!

The requirements are subject to change each year, however, there was an earlier post in this thread with a previous year's requirements. You usually have to have visited WDW in the last 12 months, can't be a CM or a travel agent and be at least 18. The list is longer, those are just off the top of my head.

I saw that too. Yes, I actually looked at the favorites of each tweet to see which ones could have the Gary seal of approval! I'm crazy!!

New here! Glad to find this. I have also been applying for the MP since the first year...how many is it now? (I still remember the first year when we all received Mom's Club packets!) With the exception of last year-I missed it. For that reason I am so glad to find this thread!!! (I can keep up to date this year.) The year before last I made it to R2. Hoping to go all the way this year! From what I have read, looks like the application process may start the first week of September. How long is it usually between the start of the process and the application deadline? I may in WDW during the process-don't want to miss again!

Good luck to all!!
