Become a 2022 planDisney Panelist!
It’s application day! Today is the day to send in your applications for your chance to become a 2022 planDisney panelist! The search starts today and is open through September 14th.
What is a panelist you ask? If you are someone who loves going to Disney, is the “go-to” person for advice when friends or family travels to Disney, is able to communicate your advice to others in clear and concise answers, and are you a stickler when it comes to grammar, spelling, and punctuation, then you just might be perfect for this role. planDisney is an online forum of real Guests who have mastered the art of planning a Disney vacation. These passionate planners provide personalized responses to Guests all over the world to help them create the most magical vacations ever and create memories that will last a lifetime.
There are plenty of planning tools to help navigate through a Disney vacation, but it’s still no easy task. With many theme parks, dozens of resort hotels, water parks, luxury cruise ships, shopping, dining, recreation, special events, entertainment and more, planning a Disney vacation can leave some Guests feeling a bit overwhelmed before they arrive. That’s where planDisney comes in.
