Disney Parks Moms Panel welcomes 14 new members

The Disney Parks Moms Panel has welcomed 14 new members to its ranks. The online forum helps guests find personalized tips and insight on planning the perfect Disney vacation from real guests.

Chosen from thousands of applicants from around the world, the newest members of the panel will join 28 returning moms, dads, grandparents, and other in-the-know family members as an online resource to help those planning a Disney vacation. Panelists provide their one-on-one advice based on their own real-life experiences.

In addition to the new panelists making their debut, the Disney Parks Moms Panel has launched a new curated content hub. Called “Panel Extras,” this new tool offers guests ready-to-browse advice organizes by topic. Currently, Panel Extras only offers tips on Walt Disney World Resort, but it will expand to include content featuring the Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Vacation Club later this spring.

“Every guest has their own unique expectations for a magical Disney vacation. Disney parks and resorts offer endless options — from dining and activities to accommodations and transportation — for vacationers looking to personalize their dream trip. Making the choices that best fit your ideal Disney vacation is where the Disney Parks Moms Panel comes in,” said Leanne O’Regan, director of public relations for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. “Our Disney-savvy panelists are incredibly passionate and eager to help others experience the wonder of Disney for themselves, which is why they are the ideal group to provide guidance and advice to those preparing for their next Disney vacation.”
