I got home from work today and found.....

[mickeymouse1017]

8 boxes of Mickey ears sitting at my front door!!!!!! I was beginning to wonder if my postcards were getting where they needed to be. There are four of us in the household so everyone was very happy. Now, we will keep our fingers crossed for some of those 2008 lanyards and pins. YEA!!!!

Congratulations. We got the lanyard and pins in our big box. I guess I'll have to take the pins off my hat now and put them on the lanyard.

Glad the household is happy. :cool1:

How did you get the ears? What are the postcards?

You need to put your full name, address, phone number (with area code) and birthdate on a postcard (or plain piece of paper in an envelope) and mail to the address above.

That is not the correct address.

Here is the link with all of the info YOAMD 2008 (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1329422)

[binky503]

I got one box with Mickey ears....

[Handbag Lady]

I wonder if they are clearing out stocked up stuff to make way for the new promotion?

But, I'm glad people are getting things!

[denegate]

They must be trying to get rid of an overstock of ears because I received two boxes of ears today. I've also received lanyards several times in the past and more ears. We have about six sets of ears now and all I really want is the big prize!! Show me the DVC Mickey!!

[tweedlemom]

One set of ears here!

[PrincessBetsy]

That's great that everyone is winning so much. Congrats! :)

I had no idea about this promotion until I saw this thread. Will have to try this before time runs out on promotion. Just curious whether it's better to write by hand or print postcards on the computer? Is there a rule that applies?

[Boo Bear]

I've been mailing out two envelopes each day for the past week... and I plan on continuing as long as I can. I use both my info and DSO's. Hopefully we'll win something cool sometime :wizard:

[gilliansmommy]

I had no idea about this promotion. That is so cool.

I'm not sure if it is a specific rule. I believe the rules said (and it has been a while since I read the official rules) to write your name, etc., on a postcard or piece of paper. I write the info on a piece of white paper and then put in an envelope and mail.

[firstadventure]

I hadn't heard about this either. Thanks for sharing!

[GoofyFairie]

Me either! Can kids enter? My kids would LOVE this!

I got this from the official rules page:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise permitted by Sponsor in its sole discretion, in the event a Minor is the winner of any prize in which the winner is permitted to travel to, stay at or attend an event, site or destination, such Minor and any guest (as applicable) must be accompanied by his/her parent or legal guardian on such prize and, as applicable, the parent or legal guardian will be considered one (1) of the allotted guests.

Therefore, yes, you can send in for your kids.

Thank you for the quick response. :goodvibes Looks like the kids and I will be filling out post cards tomorrow! I do hope they get something. They would be THRILLED to get a set of Mickey ears! I could just see my DS all excited. He would probably go pack a suitcase and say lets go to Disney!

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone,

Congrads on your prizes!!! Just an idea - but if anyone gets some extra ears that they wouldnt be using, over on the Disney Family thread there is a group of people who sew for families who are going to take "Make a Wish" trips - they make the kids special outfits etc - soooooo, if you wanted to, it would be cool to donate ears for the kids too!!! or lanyards or whatever - there is a specail board that you'd be directed to, where the families are listed (ages, number of children etc).....its really a fun and worthy cause!!! PM me if you have any questions!!!

Thanks, Wendy:banana:

[PuNkEe1299]

Man, why didn't I know about this sooner?? We are going in 4 weeks!:woohoo: I would love even some Mickey ears for our trip if nothing else. I'm filling out some postcards as I type this. If if I win anything I probably won't even get it in time, but I'm gonna do it anyway!:rotfl:

[kidd_freeper]

I've got you beat...

I came home yesterday and had 10 sets of Mickey Ears sittting at the door!

I'm up to 20 sets now, got half of them yesterday. I've been sending in 6 postcards a day since the middle of December. Prior to this, the most we've gotten in one mailing was 3 ears at a time.

I'm hoping that people are getting tired of sending in the postcards...it'll improve the odds of winning a real prize.

[mickeymouse1017]

Back again. I got two boxes of ears yesterday and two boxes of ears today. The last four boxes of ears are completely different than the ears that I have gotten in the past. These have silver ears, are a darker blue with white clouds and have the YOAMD logo on them with 2008 on the back. The 8 boxes that I got before had white ears, were light blue, said Live Your Dream on the back and had WDW/DL on the front. Both of these have been received during 2008 and are completely different from the 2007 ones that we have gotten. But, who cares, we won. Now come on pins and lanyards. YEA!!!!! :dance3:

Wendy, that is a great idea! The Wish families would love the ears if anyone has some they'd like to donate!

If anyone wants to sign up, they can follow the Disboutiquers Big Give Group button/link in my siggy.


I think I'm going to try entering now too! I would love some of those ears myself!

I got 3 boxes of dream ears one day last week!! I had won some dream ears earlier in the year but this look differet....they have clouds on the "hat" part ..my other pair of dream ears is just a solid bue "hat" part...YAYYYYY

[billwendy]

Hi Everyone,

We just added a new Make A Wish family who has 4 children (3 younger kids and 1 teenager)....if anyone has some extra ears, their trip isnt till December!!
Thanks for those who have given their extra ears for this cause!! The kids soooooooooooo love them!!!

If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask!!!

Thanks, Wendy

[mickeymouse1017]

I have some extra ears that I would be willing to donate but when I tried to get onto the Disboutiquers web site it would never send me an invite email. Is there another place that I can go to for checking out the Make a Wish families that you are helping out? I have been fortunate in winning and having enough for each member of my family so I would like to share with the Make a Wish families. Thanks!!!

[maksmom]

Thanks so much for this info! I hope it's not to late to get started sending postcards. We're going in December, and this would make my DD (9)'s day! Wish me luck on being found by the dream team in the parks!

[Stitchfans]

I never ever win anything but I guess my chances are as good as anyone else's so I will give it a try again. I sent one or two out ages ago and never did again.

[billwendy]

Thanks to all who are spreading pixie dust to the Make A Wish Families!! The smiles on their faces tell it all!! If anyone else would like to participate - ears, pins, lanyards or anything disney, you won't regreat it!!!!!!!

Thanks, Wendy

[bytheblood]

Congrats to all of the winners. That is so wonderful!!! I was so disappointed not to get Dream ears. That is the only thing I wanted. ;)

I have not won anything, but have spent a fortune on postcards (and not to mention vacations). :rotfl: :rotfl:
