2015 January Sweepstakes, Any News?

[Hoosier37]

This may not be the correct forum, but it made sense to me to ask in Rumors & News.

The past couple of years Disney has done a huge sweepstakes in the month of January, giving away one vacation per day for that month. Has anyone heard if they are doing this again in 2015?

I know that the first year was in 2012, and while I entered every day and didn't win, it did get me started on my sweeping hobby. I've won lots of small but nice prizes in the past couple of years. But that Disney trip has continued to elude me.

Anyone have any information, hear any rumors? If there is another sweepstakes this January, I hope lots of us DIS members enter and win.

Have not heard of anything except the one currently ping on for the cheer championships and college football playoff but that may have ended already.

They are doing it again! http://parks.disney.com/disney-flip-side-sweepstakes

Every day in January WDW is giving away a trip - 5 day, 4 night stay, with 1 night in the Cinderella suite. Tickets will have park hopper and water park options. Also included is a $500 Disney gift card, a welcome basket, a Cinderella inspired glass slipper, and round trip airfare. They are tying it into the live action Cinderella movie.

Maybe THIS will be my year - but if not, I hope some of my fellow DISers win!

Woo hoo ! Thanks for sharing I have been searching around for contests that can get me back there sooner rather than later!

ARGH! I guess I entered! Logged in and hit enter and it said "thanks for entering!" I was hoping it would have me verify my information. I assume that disney account is the same one I had used to make my disney trip? I am hoping it doesn't have an old phone number or address!! I could not find ANYWHERE to verify my personal info for that contest. Freaking out a bit!

It (likely) is the same as the one you used when you went to the park. If you log into your account via https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ you can check your information and make sure it is right (or just change it to my contact info )

Can someone let me know if my husband and I are each allowed to enter the contest separately, even though we have the same address? I read the rules and got confused.

My reading of the rules would be yes because it does not say one entry per household. It does however say one entry per "device" which I take to be computer but I think in reality you are ok...

You can each enter. However, you have to login to your disney account in order to enter, so you will each have to have your own, with separate email address. Good Luck!

Anybody enter this in the last 24 hours. My wife got an error last night on our home pc, and I've got the same error on my work pc. Had been working fine up until today.
You hit the verify button after checking off the terms and conditions and get this error.

There was an error entering the sweepstakes. Please try again.

I tried and had the same error message

 

[North of Mouse]

Didn't have an 'enter' button yest. but I hit refresh and it worked! No problem today. Keep trying!

Tried multiple times and had the same issue. Came to the DIS to see if I could get any info and at least I found out it wasn't just me.

Seems to be working correctly today.

 

[sachilles]

Worked fine for me this morning.

I'm not going to lie, I was secretly hoping, they were disabling my account because I had already won, and they just hadn't informed me yet.

 

[Anitsirk24]

also worked for me this morning. Hoping it pays off.

There's a much larger thread about this in the Theme Park Attractions & Strategies forum. This is where it was housed last year.

The sweepstakes site seems to be very buggy. Lots of folks reporting issues trying to enter the contest daily.
