LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- For the millions of families planning to visit Walt Disney World Resort this year, Disney Parks has a new resource -- a mom at your fingertips! As part of "The Year of a Million Dreams," Disney Parks announced the first-ever Walt Disney World Moms Panel, www.disneyworldmoms.com, an online forum led by real, park-savvy parents to assist with the vacation planning process.

Guests looking to get a jump start on their family vacation planning can log on to www.disneyworldmoms.com for information on "anything and everything" Walt Disney World. The Moms Panel is composed of 12 parents -- well, 11 moms and one dad -- who have mastered the art of planning a Walt Disney World vacation. Whether it's traveling to Walt Disney World Resort on a budget, or deciding which dining experience best suits your family of eight, the Moms Panel is designed to help make the entire vacation planning process easier.

Following an intensive review of 10,000 applications that asked for Disney tips and tricks, as well as a personal interview among the final applicants, Disney Parks selected the 12 most-knowledgeable and park-savvy parents to lead its first-ever online Moms Panel.

The panelists provide guests with valuable vacation insights, reliable strategies and tools, as well as share their personal secrets to navigating the resort. The site also offers guests the opportunity to pose specific questions and have them answered by any of the 12 panelists.

"More families are using the Internet to plan their vacations and we created the Walt Disney World Moms Panel to serve as an effective way for parents to ask park-savvy parents specific questions about visiting the resort," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "With more than 20 resort hotels, four theme parks, two water parks, shopping, dining and entertainment, planning a vacation to Walt Disney World Resort can feel a bit overwhelming -- this Moms Panel will help parents maximize their families' Disney vacation."
