Straight from my heart – A glimpse into what makes my fellow Panelists so very precious to me.
In 2009, the very first Mum from “across the pond” joined the Panel. Jo is from England and she has two beautiful daughters.
Jo is one of only three Panelists who have I not yet had the pleasure of meeting in person. However, I have heard so many wonderful things about her from her fellow 2009 Panelists.

Jo is married to a PGA Pro Golf Pro and she is quite the avid golfer herself. In fact, they met on the golf course.
I recall when I was first selected to serve on the 2010 Panel, and I was desperate for more information on what magical experiences awaited.  One evening, I was searching on the DIS Boards and I came across Jo’s Training Trip Report. I was instantly glued to my computer screen, soaking in every detail. I’ll never forget when I first saw this picture…

I couldn’t believe my eyes! Six of the 2009 Moms Panelists had gotten to spend the night in Cinderella Castle!!! It doesn’t get any more magical than that for a Disney fan!
Each year the Training Trip is unique and every group of Panelists has their own special treats that they get to experience. Our class didn’t stay in Cinderella Castle, but we did many other amazing things.  Â
Jo will always have the distinction of being the very first UK Panelist. I look forward to the day when our paths will cross at Disney World, so that I can finally hug my Disney sister. Â
