We just need to hear from watkinsme, who may still be at DW. J.J., who I know won via a texted entry on Jan 16, but I don't know if that's the only way he entered. And dexmom. Then, my work on this post may be complete.

Coleyoley, do you know what day your name was drawn?
 
Quick survey from those that have won:

1) How many of us knew before FedEx came that we were potential winners?

2) What day of the week did your FedEx arrive?

3) What was your method of entry (online, text or both)?

4) What date was your name drawn (on the letter sent via FedEx)?

ColeyOley- emailed on a Tuesday, FedEx arrived on Thursday
dexmom
J.J-
suevr- entered online, no notice, FedEx showed up on a Thursday. Name drawn on Jan. 15

Toystoryfan32- was called/texted on a Wednesday, emailed info after convo with Ventura contact. Name drawn on Jan. 24
dbbydk- only person in house to enter, entered online, emailed on a Friday, FedEx arrived the next Tuesday. Name drawn on Jan. 17
handustmom- both adults entered daily, texted entry, notified on Tuesday, FedEx arrived on Wednesday. Name drawn on Feb. 4

Hi! Sorry I haven't been on the board for awhile. I've been super busy! So here are my answers to the questions:

1) I knew before the FedEx. I got an email first to ask me for my address and phone #
2) I got my FedEx on a Friday. The day after the email.
3) I only entered online
4) I'm not sure which day my name was physically drawn because my husband threw the letter away (apparently I didn't need it anymore), But according to my email, I was the January 10th winner and I was notified on the 12th.

Congrats to all the other winners and pixie dust to everyone else! I really hope we get to find out some more info about our wins soon. It's driving me crazy! Not to mention my 3 year old son. I made the mistake of telling him in the excitement and he can't understand why we can't go RIGHT NOW. He asked me today, "Why Disney World not want us to come? Did they forget about me?" :guilty: I wish I hadn't spilled the beans. Oops. :sad2:

Bless his little heart. Maybe you could do something to get him excited about planning like making a list of things he wants to do and characters he wants to see. We do a family Disney night every month or so with crafts and dinner and a movie. It gets us excited about our upcoming trips. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer. Truth be told I am having a hard time waiting too! :headache:
 
Doesn't it make you wonder why everyone was notified on such different days. I wonder if some of our DIS winners were the alternates and that is why everyone was not notified on the same day.

Here's hoping some of us get some pixie dust tomorrow!!:yay:
 

Most days I have a communication error and am unable to even enter the contest :(
 
Has anyone won by texting?
(sorry, I haven't read the whole thread)...

I too get errors when trying to enter online...
 
OH MY GOSH!!! I came home from a very very long day. Hard day at work. Changed out of my work clothes and into PJs and sat down at my computer. WHAT WAS SITTING THERE???? A FED EX TICKET!!!!! MY HEART LITERALLY STOPPED!!! I couldn't find the phone fast enough to call Fed EX!!! My heart was POUNDING--Why weren't they ANSWERING!! It was 7:05pm and the Fed Ex office, which is 15 minutes away (without getting stopped by a train), closes at 8pm!!!!! FINALLY they answered and they confirmed my package was at their facility!!! Not expecting anything else to be delivered via Fed Ex, I breathlessly asked who the package was from. Boca Raton, FL. Huh? Ok, maybe there's an office there right??? NOPE, it was my son's HOCKEY TICKETS for SUNDAY NIGHT! :sad2:

He was thrilled . . . I'm depressed!!

Congrats to all the winners!!!

I was thinking the same thing.

I'm thinking that most of us, if not all of us, were the original winners. If I won for Jan 15 and they sent the letter to me on the 18th, I couldn't have been an alternate. That wouldn't have given the original winner time to return their affidavit, so I must have been the original winner, not an alternate. That's my logic anyway. ;)

I just think they're drawing names completely differently from what the rules state and they're drawing them either every day or every few days. No way to know really.

I'm with Sue. I think they are drawing a name in the morning from the previous day's entries. I was the winner for 1/17, and got the email the morning of 1/20... It seems to follow the pattern (of those not drawn on a weekend), that we are notified 2 days after our name's were drawn.

Take from it what you will. I'm just happy I get to go. :cloud9:

ETA: To those of you with kind words, THANK YOU!

Congrats on your win! Amazing!
 
Congrats to all the other winners and pixie dust to everyone else! I really hope we get to find out some more info about our wins soon. It's driving me crazy! Not to mention my 3 year old son. I made the mistake of telling him in the excitement and he can't understand why we can't go RIGHT NOW. He asked me today, "Why Disney World not want us to come? Did they forget about me?" :guilty: I wish I hadn't spilled the beans. Oops. :sad2:

I'm going thru the same thing with my 3 year old son. I think he's finally forgotten about it, in that, he isn't asking daily if today is the day we are going.
 
Well, if they have ever tried to call me to tell me that I won, I would have never got the call! I just went into my profile on one of the Disney sites and realized that they had the WRONG phone number in their system! :scared1: It was a work number from years ago!!

I guess it's just a bit important to make sure all of your info is up to date? Just in case, of course!

Congrats to all the winners!! :yay:
 
I'm not going to send a pm to anyone voicing my displeasure and jealousy that I have not won, I'm going to do it out in the open for all to see.




I'm Jealous that my name has not been drawn... :lmao:





Seriously, I would like to extend a big congrats to all of the winners here on the DIS; I am truly thrilled to see so many familiar names win one of the trips. I'm still hoping that I will come home to find a Fed Ex package placed in my door. Again, congrats to all the winners and enjoy your trips. :thumbsup2
 
Im still waiting for Fedex to arrive at my doorstep in VA....not sure why they havnt picked me yet.....:rotfl: ....Im getting impatient!

Congrats to all the winners....no matter how they won! Im loving reading this thread, I love all the excitement!
