Stirring Up Memories for the Disney Moms Panel
If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you may have noticed I have a bit of a Disney habit. It’s one of the few places where our family can totally let loose. We love the rides, the way all cast members believe in doing good for visitors and we love how the park celebrates differences. There is nothing that can hold Jordan back at the park. No restrictions. No concerns. Not all amusement parks are that way and it makes me nervous when we go anywhere else. We have a number of friends who were asked off rides at smaller amusement parks. These things don’t happen to us at Walt Disney World.
I loved the Disney experience every since I was a kid, but being a parent pushed me into the über fan that I am today. Planning each trip is so much fun… So much fun that I’ve turned into that person who gets recommended to help all of my friends and their friends when they’re planning trips. I love it.
I love it so much, I applied for the Disney Moms Panel. I mentioned it in an earlier post this week. I moved into the second round out of three to be a part of the volunteer group. A part of the second round application process as someone who applied as a Walt Disney World panelist was to talk about a practically perfect day at Disney World in a video. It gave me a chance to look back at some older video and smile at some really cool moments. That’s what makes a practically perfect day – the unplanned portions. Check it out:
Ah, I am SO super excited for you! This video is perfect – it made me tear up a little bit just watching it. Good luck in this second round!
Thanks, Carrie! The little moment when my son rushed my husband to hug him… That gets me every time. (Probably because he’s so big now.)
Great job! Good luck! And yes mam – our kids were born just right 🙂
Thanks, Allison! Heck yeah, they were.
Hi Jen, what a GREAT video! Congrats on making it to round 2 – you were the very first person I met at BlogHER13 and I remembered the fantastic name of your blog. Your daughter is picture perfect. Wishing you the BEST LUCK!

Hi there! How do you know what dates Round 3 is being notified? I’m a round 2-er and very anxious. Goodluck – I hope you make it through. Love your video!
Hi Melanie! It looks like the emails are headed our way on the 13th or the 14th! I’m sending pixie dust your way!
Thanks! You have all the inside scoop! Hope we both get happy news this week.

Hi Jen,
This is exactly what I focused my DPMP application on, how Disney Parks celebrate the uniqueness in every single person. It’s very unusual to find! Thanks for your support on Twitter! 🙂
