Check in here if you won a OMDD trip! UPDATE: We HAVE 16 (+1) Winners!!

[MouseEarsForAll]

Thank you!

I always wondered why you posted so much on this thread!

 

[J.J.]

Hey JJ-

Are you an AP?

Yes.

I have been an AP for a long time. I can remeber when the AP's had a special lot to park in right at the entrance to Disneyland. It was a very short walk to the entrance. Maybe 5 mins. Of course there are so many AP's now they can't do that sort of thing, even in their parking structure.

Chapters? OMG, how long did it take you to write your TR?

People either do one update per day of trip, or if they have lots of pictures, they divide each day into chapters. My trip was two weeks long. I've been writing since the fall and am about halfway.

But you don't have to make them that long. Like I said, it would be just separated in days. Or if you guys did a collective one, each of you could post a mini-update of your entire trip.

It's a lot of fun to read, and to write.

Yes, I spend most of my time on this thread, and in the DL forums.

So, do they ask you what dates you want to go, but Disney picks the month?

Nope. You tell them the month and dates - 4 choices - and then they check their availability and book one of your choices.

For WDW I only had 3 choices...

They only asked for 3 for DL, but there was space for 4. I only gave them one.

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure I'll get right on here after we check in to let everyone know the whole process. Gotta love Smartphones!

Of course, it's always possible that we have more DIS winners who will go before me in July.

I am positive that you will be on here as soon as you arrive; I think that we all expect you to be! I would be lost without my smartphone and laptop!

LIVE TRIP REPORTING IS AWESOME, you know, for your fans here stuck at home

I wiss I could get a feed of this thread on my TV so I could just watch it all.

...me too....lurker here but I just hate to miss a few hours. Could be reading for days

Congrats to all our winners so far!! When I win in one of the next drawings, I will be sure to share all the details with you as well

I am a musician and a Pastor. I play for many different area high schools and Disney has a program "Community Arts Showcase". They bring in school groups to perform. I was at the carnation plaza stage with two different groups yesterday. It will probably be one of the last times on that stage since the are redoing that whole area and turning it into a princess meet and greet type thing.

If you watch some of the old Disneyland shows that is the stage where the Osmonds and Louie Armstrong, and many others performed.

Very cool J.J.!

I only gave them one date because we're very limited as to when we can go. I just sent a note that if it didn't work then we'd try to figure something else out.

 

[J.J.]

Very cool J.J.!

yeah! It is a lot of fun. We get to go in a lot of backstage areas that guests would never see.

It looks fun I like your hair in that picture too!! Looks very nice opposite of what mines look like at the moment(birds nest)

That's a good idea as well. We should maybe have somewhere that we can communicate without absolutely everyone seeing it. "



I hope someone or maybe a few people will post their trip reports in a public forum so those of us who don't win can continue to share your excitement.

I can't speak for everyone but I promise to post my trip report here so everyone can read it. I've never done one for any of my trips before, but this one warrants a special effort. I can't promise that it will be a live report, but I will keep you guys updated while I'm at DL.

Thanks, I can't wait to read all about your excitement and the wonderful experiences coming your way as one of the winners.

Well, until I saw your picture I thought you were the husband of someone I know from a pw list. He's a musician, AP in So.Cal, loves Disney, and has an adopted child. BUT he's not blond! And his instrument is guitar.

Awesome! Can't wait to read it.

I, too, promise to do some sort of trip de-briefing. I don't know that there will be chapters involved, and I've already been told if I text while at DL my phone is getting thrown in the bayou, but I will do the best I can.

LOL Debby! Mine won't include chapters either. I say that now, but who knows what I'll be writing! My husband almost took my phone from me at WDW last weekend because I kept checking this thread and Mobile Magic to check wait times. I'll have to do it when he's not looking.
