As a planDisney panelist, you will be an independent contractor but not a Disney cast member. You will receive one reward trip to a Disney Destination for yourself and up to three family members. Or you can choose to receive theme park tickets for your participation on the planDisney panel.

What’s So Great About Being a Panelist?

There are a number of amazing things about being chosen as a planDisney panelist.

Lizzie, a current panelist, says that her role on the panel keeps her mindful about why she loves Disney so much.

“One of my favorite aspects of serving as a planDisney panelist is how it has reminded me of why I love Disney destinations so deeply,” Lizzie said. “The opportunity to hear the experiences of my incredible fellow panelists and discuss our favorite magical memories regularly reminds me that everyone’s vacations to Disney destinations are unique and that there isn’t just one way to make magic.”

Lizzie continued, saying, “As a panelist, I’ve even been inspired to try new experiences, visit new Disney destinations, and embrace new family traditions in The Most Magical Place on Earth.”

If this sounds like a dream come true to you (or someone you know), be sure to mark your calendar. The search begins on Monday, July 8, at noon ET and will close promptly at noon ET on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
