Gotta Happy Dance Cause I Just Won A Universal Trip

[Pink Flamingo]

I've been in some serious Universal withdrawl, wanting desperately to start planning my next trip (summer 10), but knowing that the budget may not allow for a big vacation 2 summers in a row.

Well, in checking my spam mail, I came across an e-mail informing me I had won a contest. I remembered entering a contest by this company, but was a bit leary. I called the phone # & guess what ........ I won a Universal Orlando prize package.

Here's what I won:
3 Nights Stay for 4 at Loews Royal Pacific Resort
4 Two Park Length of Stay Passes
1 Breakfast for 4
1 Dinner for 4

We'll have to pay for a flight to Orlando, but that won't be a problem. Of course 3 days probably won't be enough, so since we'll have to get our money's worth out of the flight, I'm sure we'll tack on a few extra days.

Woo-hoo - let the planning begin!

That is so cool! I don't know if I've ever met anyone who won something this nice.

Can we help you plan? Where do you get to eat?

You bet ya!

Where do you get to eat?

I don't know yet, but my guess is that it will be at the RPR. They are sending me some official papers that I have to get notarized (showing that I qualify - correct age, etc). Once I get those completed they said they would send me the voucher from Universal.

I have never in my life won a prize like this, so I am on .

Thanks to everyone for happy dancin' with me! You guys rock!!!

just as a word of caution: DON"T send them any money, or any account numbers or any personal information. The last thing I'd want to do is to rain on anyone's happy dance -- but there's a reason emails like that get tagged as spam. Be careful!

i would think they would have to give some personal info.
for tax purposes, at least their basic info and ss#

What company sponsored the contest?

No worries about that. I'm very cautious about things like that & don't usually open this sort of e-mail, but I remembered I had entered a contest from the sponsor who sent the e-mail, so I went ahead & opened the e-mail & it was from the company through whom I knew I had entered a UO prize pack, so I called.

What company sponsored the contest?

Lifeway Christian - the contest was in the June issue of several magazines that they publish. I happened to see it in Parent Life (pg.27).

For anyone interested, they have another contest this month for a Williamsburg, VA vacation package.

They are sending me documents via certified mail that I have to get notarized verifying my identity & that I meet the contest guidelines. These are the papers they will submit for tax purposes. Once I do that they will send me the voucher from Universal Orlando & I'll have up to a year to take my trip. I do not have to provide any credit card, bank info, etc. Just have to call Universal & set up my dates.
