LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Disney Parks calls upon passionate Disney fans and seasoned trip planners dedicated to helping others create magical vacation memories to apply for a spot on the 2016 Disney Parks Mom Panel.

This year, Disney seeks bilingual panelists and savvy world travelers to share their valuable expertise with its visitors. Candidates can apply now through September 15 by visiting www.momspanelsearch.com.

Since its inception in 2008, the panel has grown to include a variety of enthusiastic and diverse Disney-loving experts, composed of moms, dads, grandparents, and even aunts.

About the Disney Parks Moms Panel
The Disney Parks Moms Panel is an online forum where guests can get tips and insights for a Disney vacation from real moms, dads and grandparents who have mastered the art of planning Disney vacations. Guests can pose questions to the panelists in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, as well as gain access to other vacation-planning tools for booking a Disney vacation.
