Formerly known as Disney Parks Moms Panel, planDisney launched in 2008. Since its inception, guests turn to the panel for proven experience and knowledge when it comes to planning a Disney vacation. planDisney Panelists are actual guests, not Cast Members or Disney representatives, and they provide tips and recommendations based on their experiences at Disney destinations.
Panelists respond to guest-submitted questions and share answers about Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line and Disney Vacation Club, accessible to everyone at planDisney.com.Not only can guests ask their own questions on the site, but they may also search and save more than 220,000 previously asked questions and answers on this official Disney platform.
planDisney is available in four languages – English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. The panelists are comprised of diverse individuals in different life stages; they come from large families, small families, and families with no children. 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.
“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., one of the dads on the 2020 planDisney panel. “The magic of the planDisney Panel 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.”
