planDisney is a diverse group of passionate and knowledgeable guests (just like you!) who share their insights on planDisney.com to help other guests maximize their Disney vacations. Panelists are chosen for their ability to answer questions in one of four specialties: Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, or Disney Vacation Club. “As planDisney panelists, we’re here to listen to every question and provide a genuine, personalized response,” says current panelist Michelle. “Through our combined experiences, we’ve tasted every snack, tested every ride, sailed on all five cruise ships, and indulged in nearly every Enchanting Extra.”

For those who would like to apply, the process to pick the next planDisney panel involves three rounds this includes:

  1. A series of short answer questions
