And just like that, I’m a 2025 Hopeful! This has been such a fun journey—I am definitely already looking forward to applying again next year. It lessens the sting a little when I think about the new Hopeful buddies I’ve made, and the trips I already have planned that I can look forward to...

Omg skunk Figment!! Lol!! The last time we went on Journey into Imagination the ride stopped and we were stuck in the sound lab listening to the train sound effects on repeat. We all just kept saying how grateful we were that we didn’t get stuck in the smell lab haha. A million years ago they...

Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge how absolutely amazing that $350 one is though?! 🤣 This is a really fun idea!! I have 2 Disney puzzles I haven’t broken into yet. This may be as good a time as any!

Happy you found our waiting room party! Welcome! 💖

I’d venture to guess most of us are wondering this (I know I do multiple times each day!). If you’re not repeatedly thinking about the selection committee, mystery review process, and hypothesizing about what they could be doing in that very moment, then did you even really apply?! 😂 I also...

Yes, good luck!!! I love that so many of us here are also in the FB groups! It’s insane to think some of our applications may have already been reviewed! Ahh!! Anybody have any fun distractions going on?

Yay!!! Welcome back to the waiting room! Oh my goodness, it didn’t even dawn on me that submission marked the end of all the writing and video prep. Now that you mention it, it definitely feels a bit strange (but in the best possible way haha)!

Totally in the same boat. I was searching/double checking the WDW website so much that I actually caught a spelling error on it haha! My husband reminded me that my perfectionist tendencies can ramp up to my own detriment, so I really tried to avoid doing that (although I’m not sure I...

You guys. That sinking moment when you realize you capitalized a word that shouldn’t have been capitalized. Shaking it off and not letting it get me down. This Search is such a mystery, who knows what may happen, right? 😬 Regardless, I’m humbled to have even made it into R2, and I’m having such...

Yay!! I’m pulling for you!!! Also, if you’re who I think you may be from the Facebook groups, I saw your video last year. You were NOT weather lady-ish lol 😂 If you feel even better about it this time around then I bet it’s definitely GREAT! ❤️ I love your writing style, too!

I have a love/hate relationship with my video but decided to finally submit my application tonight. In typical fashion, half a second after submitting I immediately panicked that I somehow deleted my video while scrolling down, and then regretted how I'd worded a certain phrase in one of my...

Yes, DEFINITELY for that one! I keep singing the “heyyyy! We can do it! we can do it, we can do it” lyric from the song while Cinderella’s mice create her dress. Keep up the great work, friends! 💖

Omg yes! Is it just me, or does it feel like that word limit is even more of a challenge this go round?

Checking in on my R2 friends! Everyone hanging in there? I have major nervous excitement going on! I’m eager to finally see the questions and prompts. Good luck and pixie dust to y’all! 💖

Go Team DVC! ❤️ And I’m counting down with you. The anticipation of waiting for the applications to open again is ALMOST as bad as the anticipation of waiting for the emails after R1!

Never too late to join the fun! Welcome! What speciality have you applied for? (Oh, and big congrats!!)

Yay!!! Congratulations!! Thank you!!! This makes me feel better!! My authentic self will probably be awkwardly filming with my cell phone in bad lighting after an adult beverage (Disney themed perhaps?) to calm my nerves lol! 😂

This is great advice!! Do they give you choices for your video prompt, or is there just one (varying depending on the specialty)? I think I’m a little stressed about the tech end of things, too. Tech is definitely not my strong suit. It’s not even my weak suit lol! Half the time I can’t figure...

Thank you! This is my second year to apply.

Hugs to y’all who received a “not this year” email… you’re all wonderful and Disney experts in your own right! 💖 I am delighted (and surprised!) to share that I’ve advanced to R2 for the first time! As the shock wears off, the intimidation of the video submission is starting to set in haha!
