More Amazing Adventures of the 2012 Disney Mom's Panel

[KristiMc]

I am absolutely amazed, shocked and thrilled to share the news:

I am on the Walt Disney World Moms Panel for 2012!!

I have loved getting to know everyone in each round of the selection process this year, and I hold each of you in high esteem re: your passion and knowledge of Disney!

I told Karen with Disney on the phone call today- I am just an every day mom that you are plucking from obscurity--and this information is truly bittersweet for me- as I have grown to really care about the other very deserving applicants!

Thank-you for sharing this roller coaster of a journey with me!!

Congratulations!!!!

Hearty Congrats!!

But, being an everyday mom is probably the best and hardest job in the world. Congratulations and on being an everyday mom also.

Congrats!!!

Sweet Jennifer with her little twang called and let me know it wasn't my year, either. Thought I'd be crushed, but I'm good!! Of course, now I'm ruined for future years having made it this far. Can't wait to hear who else made it from our little group here.

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

Oh, and P.S. right after my phone call, my phone "ding"ed with an email and said my $20 Disney gift card was on its way from DMR, so at least I got one nice thing from Disney today.

So sorry....be proud of how far you made it. And good luck next year

Way to go Kim!!!!! One of our own made good!

What a wild ride. My "run" ends here, but I wish our DIS representatives on the Panel love and pixie dust!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You'd better post a trip report here after your training - just a few weeks away!!!

Kim, what I meant was that you already have the best job in the world, everyday mom -- now being on the panel you also have one of the best and definitely the most fun!!

It is going to be a great year!!

(sorry when I reread my message it sounded harsh and I didn't mean it that way!!)

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

So sorry....be proud of how far you made it. And good luck next year

Thanks!! It was definitely unexpected. I mean, Disney called ME because they saw something about my passion for WDW. How crazy is that?? Here's hoping I'm as lucky next time around (but a little luckier on the final round, of course ).

I sent this to someone earlier on Twitter, but I want to post it here also for those of you who have found out that this was not your year to make the panel - You just have to keep reminding yourself that no matter what, there is something amazing about you that got you to Round 3. And that isn't something that will change regardless of the decision that the panel makes.

I know that it might take some time for those words to provide any comfort, but I do hope you all know in your hearts just how true it is.

Congratulations Kim!!

Doing a happy dance today! I just got my call and am proud to be the first moms panelist for runDisney!
I am so honored and excited about this. I haven't been on this thread for long, but can tell how many passionate Disney lovers have applied and I have really enjoyed reading everyone's posts and encouraging words.
I wish everyone could do it, but know that for those who can't this year, there is always next year!!

 

[shalecesjourney]

I am sad to say that I got my call a little while ago and was not selected.

I am so happy for those of you who were and I can't wait to hear about your experiences on the panel!
