Do you love helping others make the most of their Disney vacations? Are you the person friends, family, and fellow Disney fans turn to for trusted advice and recommendations? Can you share your knowledge in a way that is informative, engaging, and authentic? Do you enjoy connecting with others, sharing your experiences, and inspiring vacation dreams? If so, you may have what it takes to become a planDisney panelist!

 

With more Disney destinations, experiences, and vacation options than ever before, planning the perfect trip is filled with exciting possibilities. That's where planDisney comes in.

 

planDisney is a diverse community of passionate Disney vacation experts who share their firsthand experiences, trusted insights, and planning know-how to help fellow guests create unforgettable memories. Whether through personalized advice, helpful tips, or authentic stories, planDisney panelists inspire confidence and excitement at every stage of the vacation planning journey.

 

Each year, we search for new, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guests to join this group of vacation planning helpers. This year’s Search for new planDisney panelists will kick off at noon ET on July 10, 2026, and run through noon ET on July 15, 2026.

 

We’re searching for guests who’ve "been there" and love helping others create unforgettable Disney vacations. Through their firsthand experiences, trusted advice, and authentic stories, planDisney panelists inspire fellow guests as they plan visits to Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club destinations, Disneyland Paris and Disney beach resorts.

 

The application is a three-stage process: a series of short-answer questions, a brief video submission and a virtual interview. The process will conclude in September, when the 2027 planDisney panelists have been selected. Applicants chosen must be available to attend a training session at Walt Disney World Resort and aboard the Disney Wish from November 7 – 13, 2026.
