Disney Announces planDisney Class of 2026
Disney has announced the 2026 planDisney class, welcoming 18 new panelists. They’ll join 32 returning alumni, answering user-submitted vacation questions on the planDisney website.
The new group trained for their new roles during a trip to the Disneyland Resort in early December. Between training sessions, they were treated to some unforgettable experiences and all the greatness Disneyland and Disney California Adventure have to offer. The class officially began answering questions in early January.
For those unfamiliar, planDisney is Disney’s official online vacation resource where guests can get personalized planning advice from experienced panelists. Those experts aren’t Disney employees, but they are rewarded for their work with Disney vacations. It’s a pretty great gig. If you can get it.
