Cannot Believe it

[erinsgirl32]

I finally won Fireworks...and get a prize that I cannot claim. I do not live by any of the parks and will not be visiting before coupon expires. I would have rather had magic. Why do they do this? It is really discriminating to those of us who cannot visit. I mean I really love VMK, but I wish that they would give us an option. Just really disappointed

Yep, this is the case for A LOT of people that play VMK. But this is exactly what they want. They want to intice people to go to the theme parks to obtain their VMK prizes only redeemable at said parks. It's pretty kniving! But trust me...those glow in the dark braclets don't last long. I've broken 2 of them cuz they are a little bit cut when you get them!

I feel bad for people who are unable to redeem their prizes, but the reality of it is that the whole reason for VMK's existence is to encourage visits to the parks. It's also why it's free to play! However I think there's a pretty good balance between stuff you can get just by playing at home and stuff that's park exclusive. LOL, oh and trust me, the glow in the dark bracelet isn't all that great anyway. Chances are it would break before you even got home.

Don't feel bad erinsgirl32, I have like 5 or so of those papers to turn in at WDW. The only problem is that I live about 13 hours from it and I'm not going there any time soon. So you're not the only one.

I have to say I really feel bad for VMK players that play the games and get a print-out that they have to go to Disney to claim their prize. A few weeks ago I did the Jungle Cruise game and was so excited to get the room, then I get a voucher to print. I was like..what the? LOL But I live close to Disney so it wasn't that big of a deal, but if I didn't OMG how mad would I have been? I agree with the others, the bracelets aren't much anyway...but if you want I have an extra one you can have. I can mail it to you if you like! Oh and BTW, I noticed we were born on the same day. I am a July 20th baby too!!!

AceAdventureBecca thanks for the opped of the bracelet, but I have a lot of rubber bracelet's lying around the house, maybe not from Disney, but it is still very sweet of you to offer.
And yes, July 20th was a very special day.

I have these 3 old prinouts i won a long time ago and probably will never use them bc if we go to WDW we have to pay for 6 ppl.So i guess i will never get my spooky magic,tent room and that vmk wristband that always breaks

Hey i was born on July 20th too!

Oh my goodness...
It is like the old(for you deepshadow) I Love Lucy..you know the one where she is in Italy and Missing Little Ricky and the little Italian boy says "it is my birthday too" and she gives him a chocolate bar, then he brings a lot of very special friends from the village and says to her " it is their birthday too". LOL. I love that episode...I just hope that I am not the ONLY one that remembers it!!
Thanks for all of the support, sometimes it just helps to vent.
DIS is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
