2025 PlanDisney Search

This rotating (and uber-helpful!) group of panelists is always on hand to answer our biggest Disney planning questions over at the planDisney website!
But if you’re always the one answering those tricky Disney planning questions for your friends and family, planDisney is looking for YOU!
As a planDisney panelist, you’ll serve as an official Fairy Godmother, answering 15-20 guest questions per week (about 30 minutes per written response).
Panelists are considered independent contractors and are compensated with a Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or Disney Cruise Line vacation (depending on specialty) for themselves and up to three family members.

The process has changed and evolved over the years, and it’s still unclear exactly what the 2025 search will entail.
However, recent years have consisted of three separate rounds, which include a combination of written responses, video submissions, and interviews in the final round.
