You can usually click on one you like in a post and it will take you to the link - that's what I always do. And be sure to copy and paste the img option for use on the Dis! Have fun!!!

Hey I won too! I am SO glad I found this forum!!!!

I wasn't notified until Monday. Right now I am waiting to hear from the Disney rep.

I am so excited and I find this all so hard to believe!

You took my spot!! Just kidding!! How wonderful for you!! Congrats!!!!

 

[Trish Bessette]

Congratulations to you all!
Gives me the incentive to entry things again. I kind of gave up.

You will LOVE the Grand Californian. That is the only place we stay at DL now too.....well love it so much, we bought DVC just to get it when it became available.

You will all have a great trip!! Lots to cram into those days, so I am sure you will be very busy!

Thank you Nancy. I look forward to any tips you can give us about the Grand Californian!

You guys, this is SUCH a cool thread!

How often do you get to vicariously live out a sweepstakes win?

Thanks for posting and keep telling us what happens, it's so exciting to follow along!

I also entered and I'm really glad that Dis'ers (new and established ) won!

I AGREE TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!

I heard from our Disney rep today. Our VIP experience is a breakfast at Disneyland and a dinner at Disneyworld.

There's two meals we don't have to worry about

I think it would be neat if other winners would post as
well....Trip winners come on down!!!

Congratulations to those of you who won. But... I still keep waiting for them to call me, and tell me I'm my states winner.

When Macy's contacted me they said I had until Monday, May 18th to claim the prize so I'm thinking everyone has been notified. Sorry

I am so excited and happy for all the winners, and I can't wait to read the trip reports!

What you want to know?
It has the same lay out as WL and AKL, but in the Art and Craft architectural style, which is a favorite of ours.
You walk out one door and you are in DtD, walk over to another exit and right into DCA. The location can not be beat!

They have a wonderful free tour but I doubt you will have time for it.

Yay, so excited!! I almost emailed them today too. Gosh I feel like such a pest, but I'm so excited and have so many questions ha!

She said we would recieve an overnight package when the flights are confirmed (probably late next week) with our flight confirmations, ground transportation information, and hotel confirmations and itineraries. I can't wait to get it!

Oh I can't wait to get that overnight package!!! Then I know it's for real I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from this dream...

Since I've never been to WL or AKL I have no clue about the lay out

I didn't realize the location is that perfect to DtD and DCA!!! A big plus since we won't have much time there!

Congratulations to all the winners!!

Congratulation's! You must be so excited! I won back in 2003 with they launched the Grand Gatherings from Boscov's for 8 people! The one thing I can tell is that you will have to pay the taxes at the end of the year on that trip!

I'd rather pay taxes than the entire trip itself!

I can't believe things like this do happen...I signed up for the Macy's Celebrates Mom Sweepstake back in April and I am one of the grand prize winners. You should have seen me when they called me on Friday

I got a 5 night/6 day trip for 4 to BOTH Disneyland and DisneyWorld!!I got my airfare, ground transporation from airports to Disney, Disney Resort accomodations, VIP Experiences, $200 gift card to Disneyland and a $300 gift card to DisneyWorld.

This is definately legit, I've received all my paperwork and now just waiting for a Disney Rep to call me to scheduled my flights etc.

I had resented to the fact that there wouldn't be any more Disney trips with my family due to money. My DD asks every year if we could go Now I have a trip to DisneyWorld and also to be able to experience Disneyland too - oh my goodness!!

It will be a whirlwind of a week but I'm ready for it! We go in June

Thanks for letting me share my good news with you.

How fabulous! I love to hear about people winning prizes that fulfill a dream! Have a great (but, sounds like) non-stop trip. Cannot wait to read your trip report.
