While you wait for applications to open, check out the information below which will provide more
details about what it means to be a part of planDisney:
What are we searching for?
You may be wondering, what are we looking for in a panelist? Fantastic question! We are searching for real guests who have mastered the art of planning a Disney vacation, whether it be to Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, aboard Disney Cruise Line or with their Disney Vacation Club Membership. Guests who love helping friends and family plan their trips! We want to hear from the young adult who just planned the ultimate bachelorette party at Walt Disney World Resort, the guest who just surprised their partner with a magical Disney getaway, or the one planning that big family reunion. If you have the knowledge, experience, and passion, then you have found your people, and we want you to apply!
What’s it like to
be a Panelist?
Another question we
often hear is, what is it really like to be a planDisney panelist. It no doubt
is a great deal of fun working alongside other guests who share your passion
for planning Disney vacations, but it is work. While our panelists have a vast
knowledge of the parks, resorts and cruise ships, there are some questions that
may require some research to answer. Want to know more? Follow along this week
on our Instagram stories as our current panelists answer your
questions about what it’s like to be a planDisney panelist!
The 2022 panelists will be selected
based on their personal experiences with Disney destinations, their
communications skills in sharing their Disney knowledge and their ability to
connect with guests looking for practical, helpful advice from their peers.
About planDisney
Launched in 2008,
planDisney is an online forum where guests turn to panelists for their proven
experience and knowledge when it comes to planning a Disney vacation.
planDisney is available to help in four languages – English, Spanish, French
and Portuguese – and guests can gain access to other vacation planning tools on
the site like videos, top 10 lists, and more. Our panelists are comprised of diverse individuals in different life stages and lifestyles.
“There is so much Disney to see and do that it’s tough to experience everything in a single visit. But what if you had a trusted friend who has experienced everything already? Wouldn’t it be great to get their advice,” said Jerry M., 2021 planDisney Panelist. “The magic of planDisney is our collective experience and our diverse backgrounds. Taken together, we’ve just about done it all – and like your best friend, we want to see you enjoy yourself!”
We hope this has provided you useful
tips regarding our 2022 Search, and we look forward to receiving your
application in September at planDisneySearch.com.
