On Thursday July 5th I won a lanyard and pin set!! I won a lanyard and mickey ears last month!!

That's a total of 5 sets of ears and 2 lanyards.

I'm still hoping for one of the DVC prizes!! :cool1:

[Osjah&Landon'sMom]

[kdkbrebel]

My DD got a set of ears on 7/6, we all 4 won the lanyard pin sets back in March.:banana:

[Gubblebum]

I won a pair of Dream Ears on 7/6. Yay!

Congrats to all the winners!

We won 3 sets of Mickey Mouse ears on 7/6..... We are all very thrilled with our prizes..... Yippee!!!!:woohoo:


But does anyone know when these (July winners) postcards were pulled? Or an approx month? I have read on many threads that it takes a chunk of time before you actually get your prize.... Just curious:confused3

Got a set of ears about a week ago and another pickup notice from the PO yesterday so I will get that tomorrow. I think it may be more ears. I am up to 4 pairs of ears and probably 10 lanyards. :banana:

[HeatherFeather]

Got home today and ANOTHER pink certified card...this one for TWO parcels from Disney. I'm sure it's just ears or lanyards but still very exciting! Now I guess I'll wait til Friday to pick up all three since I don't want to wait at the PO two days in a row. Man...July has been a good month for me.

To answer a previous posters question, I send three cards a day and have been doing so since the beginning of this promo. Missed a few days here and there, but do manage to get them out most days. :wizard:

I am hoping to win some ears!!

For those who have won ears...

Did they mail you kid size or adult size? I am hoping it is adult size so it will fit my head! :earsgirl:

[grannyminnie]

Assuming there are different sizes, maybe they check your birthdate to know which to send...I got adult ones.

[MommyBoo!]

Got 4 pairs of ears in the mail today! DS was bummed - he was the only one who didn't win one - so I gave him mine. Don't feel bad for him though - that kid is ALWAYS winning stuff!

We'll probably keep one for each kid and give one to DH's aunt or sister or both if we win another one.

Didn't notice a difference on the sizes - have to check that later.

Congrats to the other winners and good luck to everyone!!

[pinkerbell]

Thank You!! :goodvibes

[garada3]

Heard the mail carrier honk in the driveway - which means 'package' and sure enough - a YOMD Lanyard and two pins!

Good Luck to all!

[mickeymouse1017]

Yesterday we won ears. Our first win which was very exciting. Today we won two sets of ears. Still as exciting as yesterday. It is like Santa for grown ups!

[surfergrl31]

I have won three DW ears and 1 DL ears and they all came in adult sizes even the ears the children won. I think they just send out standard sizes.

[tacomaranch]

We were out running errands today and when I got into our van my cell phone was beeping. It was our nanny saying that the postal lady came with two packages from the Disney Dream Team! Two!

I played my voice mail and it was that we had Dream squad boxes so I bee lined it home.

My DS and I both won a pair of YOMD ears! I am wearing mine all day and we put DS's up before he breaks them.

Now, do we wear them on our next trip? I think I am just going to put mine up also.

I won!:woohoo:

[pixiedust247]

I picked up my lanyard and pins from the post office this morning...YIPPEE!

[tofubeast]

I got a certified postal postcard from Disney yesterday. Is that what you guys are getting in the mail? It says I have to pick it up at the post office and the sender is Walt Disney (From the grave?) and the large envelope is checked off. I am so excited. I did not start sending postcards until mid-May---so this must be from a May drawing?

[CarolG]

Yes, the prizes are sent certified mail and require a signature. A large envelope is usually a lanyard/pin set, and a box is usually ears.

Congratulations!:thumbsup2

[tofubeast]

for those of you who have the lanyard...

what is the "credit card" looking thing that is attached to it? Just curious if can be used to hold anything..like fast passes/tickets etc. Thanks!

[we6clarks]

We won a pin lanyard and pin set Saturday :wizard: I hope we can win 1 more item so everyone in the family will have something before we go to WDW in Aug.

[HockeyMomR]

Hello all mail-in winners. I want to try mailing in postcards. We just returned from our 9 day trip this past Sunday, our trip was wonderful, however, no actual dream prizes for our family, lots of pixie dust and magical moment certicificate where we were escorted directly to the front of the line on Primevil Whirl, but no actual dreams.

So, I am going to send postcards, daily. So, is it just one a day I can send? Also, if I send 3.5 x 5 inch index cards, address to Disney on front and then my info on back? Thanks to all the winnners out there for your help!

[DaraAllen]

DD10 got a pair of ears on Saturday. I've lost count of how many of ears and lanyards we've won.

- keeps fingers crossed for that DVC membership -

I don't know about the index card part, but you can send as many a day as you want! I just buy the post cards and send them...I've won some ears, but others have won several times.

I guess I misinterpreted that then, to mean that AT LEAST once a day (and more if you like!)...

Well, there's probably no one in Elmhurst sorting all the mail and saying "AHA! Grannyminnie sent in five cards again today! Toss 'em out!" ;) Wouldn't that be a lovely job?

I wonder if they scan the cards and sort them on a computer? :confused:

[Alisha's mom Sarah]

My mailman got me out of the shower today, literally... I had just turned off the water and I heard my doorbell.. I grabbed my robe and ran downstairs.. He was walking away.. He had an envelope for my hubby.. We are officially PostCard Winners!!! DH won a lanyard but dd2 claimed them as "hers" because she was a good girl.. It's her "mickey mouse clubhouse :rotfl2: "..

2 months to the day before we leave!!

[GraceLuvsWDW]

Well, every few days I check these boards and see everyone who has won something and finally, today is my day!!! I received the pink slip in the mail and I can't pick it up until tomorrow. I will be there first thing in the morning. I have been sending postcards (2) every day since around April 1st.

We are going to WDW Sept 20-28, as if I weren't excited enough already-now this adds even more excitement! I don't care what it is...just knowing a little piece of Disney magic has made it to us is all that matters.

Best of luck to everyone out there-don't give up!
:yay:

We get there the day before and leave the day before.. I agree, it really sets the mood for the trip.. I didn't expcet to win anything and now they've been exceeded..:woohoo:

[Rich271]

DW, DD and myself got the YOAMD lanyard sets this morning from the post office. Postcards do work!

[scrap disney]

My husband and I both won lanyards last week. 4 months of sending a few postcards every week and we finally won something!

[*KeepMovingForward*]

Both DS's and DD won YOAMD ears-we had 4 already, so now we are up to 7! :rotfl: DH won the most recent prize...a lanyard. Figures, I am the one that writes out all the post cards and sends them in and everyone in the house has won something except me! :laughing:

[AngieWin]

We are July winners!! Picked up Ears this morning!

[lailah]

So I'm thinking that they only mail out winners once a month. Is this pretty much how it's going? Pull out names one month and two months later the winners receive the item? We've already won 2 lanyards and a pair of ears, however, my daughters are fighting over the ears. Imagine a 23 year old and a 31 year old, fighting over ears!! TOO BAD! They're MINE! All MINE! Hee hee! :lmao: :rotfl:

It sure sounds that way. I just looked at the box that DH's lanyard came in and it was postmarked July 3rd. We got it on July 5th.

[TinkRBel_In_Training]

We finally won!!! We started sending out the postcards in February (or March, I really can't remember, lol), quite faithfully and after 130+ postcards (and God knows how much $$$ in postage) and no prizes we gave up at the end of May. I didn't think we would win anything, but today my mom had to go sign for something at the post office and it was a landyard and pins set!! :banana: :banana: :banana: You would have thought I won the lottery! Hmm, maybe I should start sending them in again....:p

[MOREMICKEY4ME]

YIPPEEE!!!!!:banana:

[sconnell]

Ok, just went to lunch with DH and all I could talk about was this! "HOW in the WORLD did I NOT know I could send in a postcard! I've been depressed that I couldn't get down there and I could have sent a postcard?" SO, for you winners, do you hand write them? Can I do the address on the computer and hand write the personal info? I know they want you to hand-write some of it so people don't mass produce them, but do you think it would be ok to do the address with a computer?
The rule says, "Also, starting on September 18, 2006, eligible participants can enter without being present in a Disney Property by writing their full name, complete mailing address (including postal code), daytime telephone number (including area code), and date of birth on a 3.5"x5" postcard and sending it with proper postage affixed to: (i) if a legal resident of the United States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada or Mexico: P.O.

Participants may enter once per day during the Giveaway Period. All mail-in entries must be mailed separately, postmarked by December 31, 2007 and received by January 14, 2008 or they will be void."
So, winners, did you do a 3.5" x 5" card everytime?

[*KeepMovingForward*]

So, winners, did you do a 3.5" x 5" card everytime?


I did. I bought the blank pre-paid postcards from the post office and those were 3x5.

[sconnell]

ok, that's cool.
I was thinking about doing 4.25" x 5.5" (that's what I have) Do you think that would work? Has anyone sent something other than 3.5" x 5"?
Do you think I have to hand-write the "mailing to" address? It says write name, etc and then mail to...
What do you think?

[GraceLuvsWDW]

I hand wrote mine for the first month or so then I mass produced some on the computer. I used generic office supply store 4 to a sheet postcards that are perforated so you can print them on the computer. They were not the 3 x 5 required size, they were 4.25 x 5.5 so you can win with any postcard size.
Good Luck!
Expect to see a prize around 3 months after you start sending them in. (At least that's how long it took for me!)

[Princess Stitch]

I got the phone call today to answer my skill testing question and the guy on the phone told me I had won ears! I can't wait to get them!

Just a note to everyone waiting though.... he did mention that they're pretty backed up with sending things out and told me to expect my ears in 8-10 weeks. So you may have even won something last month and just not received it yet.

Skill testing question? What's that all about? We've won hats and lanyards from YOAMD and never got one phonecall...and I know because I put my cell # on all the postcards. YOu have me intrigued now.

[Osjah&Landon'sMom]

I asked this Q a while back... evidently in order for them to win in Canada without having to pay some crazy taxes it has to be a "skills" win and not a lottery so they get a Math Q to answer to make it legit....

[Princess Stitch]

Yeah, basically if you give something away in Canada without a skill testing question it's considered a lottery and has to conform to lottery standards in Canada. It doesn't have anything to do with taxes though since in Canada we're not taxed on lottery winnings :) If you ever see contest entry forms here you'll notice they all have some kind of question on them, or state that you must answer one to claim your prize.

It's usually some kind of simple math question like 13 - 3 X 5 / 2 + 7 = _____ so it's not like most people get it wrong. I know it seems kinda silly, but hey, I'll answer a math question for those ears any day!

[*KeepMovingForward*]

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Kinda silly, but I understand. :rotfl:

[mickeymouse1017]

We had an orange slip from the mailman waiting for us when we got back from our trip to WDW yesterday. Today we picked up 2 sets of lanyards and pins. YEAH!:woohoo: Now everyone in the family has won something (some members are even double winners) except me and I am the one that gets all of the postcards together. It is a running joke now but I do enjoy the looks on their faces when they get their Mickey surprises. Maybe me turn will come soon.

[TinkRBel_In_Training]

The postman came to our door today so we could sign for another lanyard and pins! :banana: After so many months of not winning anything, we won twice! Maybe we'll get one more set so my whole family can wear them on our upcoming trip ;)

[ymn]

We finally won a lanyard a couple of weeks ago. I sent some cards in April and 3 cards a day in May, but haven't been sending them since then. Hopefully everyone else will win too.
