UPPER TAMPA BAY - After more than 30 visits to Walt Disney theme parks, Beatrice Rose is comfortable giving advice.

For years, friends, family and co-workers have been asking her about the best times to visit Disney parks, where to eat, where to reserve lodging, what gear to pack, what rides are too scary for young children and more.

"You want to ask me a question, I'll tell you from my heart what you should do and you should not do," she said.

Now the mother of two is spending her free time at night answering such questions online for people around the world.

Rose, 38, whose family lives in the Waterchase neighborhood in northwestern Hillsborough County, was one of a dozen parents selected out of thousands of applicants to take part in the Walt Disney World Moms Panel.

She is the only panelist from Florida. Others are from New York, Illinois, Nebraska, Arizona, New Jersey, Canada, Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

Rose and these other parents have been fielding more than 1,800 questions since they began writing last month, according to the Web site.
