Has YOAMD been officially extended?

[Dmcuth]

I've heard all the rumors, but is it official, has the YOAMD been extended through 2008? I hope so, gives me more chances to win something great (already won DFP's).

It is official. We received our Mickey Monitor today. YOMD ends 12/31/2008.

Yippee! I'm gonna head to the post office today to buy some post cards. We just got back from a trip and didn't win anything, so maybe I'll have better luck by mail!

WOO_HOO!!!

Nice! I'll be there for my 21st birthday! I was so bummed at not winning Ears! Now I'll have another chance! Here's hoping for some to spend the Night in Cindy's Castle on the 26th of January! Haha.

 

[Twingle]

That's really great! Just curious though, I thought there were only a certain number of "dreams"? Have they added more?

Thanks!

Wonderful!!! We'll be going in May 2008, and will be there for our 17th anniversary. I'm so glad they're carrying this over. I love this promotion, and I've never even been to Disney!!

This is hard to believe, especially when specific rules have been posted, hence Dec. 31, 2007 is the last official day, and postcards have to be post marked no later than Dec. 31, 2007.

Can someone post the new official rules?

Do people really spend all that money on postcards and stamps in the hopes of winning mouse ears? At what point doesn't it make financial sense? And what do you do with it after the dog chews it? Send the money to Make A Wish instead and maybe give someone a chance to see WD in person that could use a smile. That's the real deal.

I have a chance to win something

My monitor doesn't say that, where in yours does it say?

Haha I love this post.

It's true, though. So many people say how they send multiple postcards a day at a cost of over 40 cents per card (plus the card itself) all to get a hat or lanyard that costs Disney all of like 12 cents to produce. It costs Disney more to mail it than the prize is worth.

It's true - it was officially printed in the Mickey Monitor. And the new year is supposedly going to come with a whole new Disney Dreams Giveaway, so I'm sure the postcard entries will make their return.

What are the postcards for??? Where do you send them? What do you get?? We are goin in May 2008and are very excited that the YOAMD has been extended!!

You can't miss it. There are two full pages. Look for the pages on Cinderella's Castle Suite.

Thanks! Now I can go back and reread!
I thought it was just a story about the suite!

 

[pyrxtc]

Woohoo! That means I'll get at least 2 more chances to win, once in January and once in December of next year.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I am so excited about this! Now I get another shot at winning the night in the castle!

 

[priceyjuls]

I'm kinda new to the whole YOAMD prize thing, so pardon me if this is a dumb question, but...are there ways to enter besides sending a postcard? I know you can be randomly selected at the parks for a prize, but is there a way to enter online? I'd love to have either the lanyard or ears, but can't justify mailing in postcards every day. Like a PP said by the time I pay for all that postage in 'hopes' of winning I could have bought what I want on eBay!

TIA
