Disney Expands Walt Disney World Moms Panel

Is Disney your go-to family vacation? Are you a master at coordinating everything from character breakfasts to family reunions? If so, then Disney Parks would like you to apply to be on its third annual Walt Disney World Moms Panel. Disney Parks has announced its search for 10 park-savvy parents to reside on the 2010 Walt Disney World Moms Panel, www.disneyworldmoms.com, where they'll join panelists from previous years to make this the largest panel to date.

Similar to asking a friend or neighbor for advice, this online forum, led by parents sharing their ultimate park smarts, serves as a resource for families planning a Disney vacation. Beginning September 10, 2009, the Moms Panel search begins online, www.disneyworldmoms.com/2010 and will close on September 20, 2009, or when 20,000 applications are received, whichever comes first.

Parents who pride themselves on being Walt Disney World vacation experts are encouraged to visit www.disneyworldmoms.com/2010 for what will be a magical seat on Disney's Moms Panel.

"We realize moms and dads are online now more than ever, engaging in social media to research tips, connect with others and identify what's best for their family," says Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "The Moms Panel provides an online space where they can interact and receive feedback from parents just like them. And the response has been phenomenal – more than 25,000 questions have been answered to date. With each new post, we reveal more of the magic of Disney. We're looking forward to another year of moms creating and sharing that magic with others."

"As a member of the Moms Panel, I have an amazing opportunity to help guests plan Walt Disney World vacations and craft trips that yield memories lasting a lifetime," says Tanya McNally, a panelist and mother of two from Basking Ridge, N.J. "As a special needs mom, I know firsthand that each family's vacation is different, and I feel most rewarded when I make tangible contributions to families with diverse backgrounds, budgets and abilities to plan trips as unique and wonderful as they are."

Beginning late this year through 2010, Disney Parks will unveil new features and Web enhancements to the Moms Panel site to further engage and educate inquiring guests on all their park-related questions.
