I've gotten up to #3 on the board a couple of times, but never in the hot seat. I was in the hot seat on Who Wants To Be A Mouseketeer on the Disney Wonder. Won $80 in ship credit. Not as good as I'd hoped, but better than nothing. Also won a pretty cool pin. And I couldn't believe how nervous I was!!!!
Congratulations! What prizes did you get? We played a month ago, and the first time I was #2 on the board when the show was over. The second time we saw this strange woman in front of us announce that she was up on the board, and then she mentioned she was pushing the buttons before the lights went on. Things that make you go hmmmmm....
you need to begin pushing the button for the correct answer as soon as you know it...so if the answer is "A" keep pushing A as they are giving the rest of the potential answers...the faster you get you answer in, the more points it is worth...i have made it to the hot seat twice at MGM studios using this method...
Isn't it addicting!! I've got a 1,000 point baseball cap from both coasts! I'm disappointed that my next trip won't have time for DCA (only DL this time), so I can't play again...
