I would stay at the disney hotels. The remodeled rooms are very nice and so DISNEY. My wife takes photos of the rooms to get remodel ideas for our home. Great rooms, good restaraunts, the New Pools/Waterslides,as well as the disney artwork and photos.

 

[loveshak22]

which hotel would you choose?

I won (my name is now on the page!)

we are leaning towards choosing DL, as we are goign to WDW the first week of Feb.

So...since you guys are much more experienced in DL information...

Which would you choose?

Awesome!! Congrats!!!

Did they ask permission to put your name on the page? I noticed that there are only 4 names listed but they said they'd pick 7 winners on Jan 11 so why just list 4? I was wondering if the other 3 didn't provide permission to use their names but I'd figure by entering you'd have to agree to allow your name to be used??

I put a post-it note on my computer at work so I don't forget to enter every day but it stopped working as well. When I log on it gives me an error message. So I just enter at home and it seems to be working fine. I wonder what causes that?

First off, congrats!!!!

I keep answering any phone call that I don't know (something I normally don't do because they are either wrong numbers, or people wanting to deal with credit cards even though I am on the no call list) and no luck so far

Anyways, about the errors when entering, are you guys using Internet Explorer or Firefox? The first few days I used Internet Explorer (IE) without any problems, but lately Firefox is the only thing that works. Today I went to log into my account to make sure that they have my e-mail, phone number, and stuff like that, and I could not login with IE, it just keep telling my "Login Failed" eventhough the info was correct. I switched to Firefox and all the problems were solved. So, if you are using IE, try switching to Firefox to enter the contest and stuff and see if that works for you.

yeah- I had to sign that they could use my name, or photos etc without any other compensation

Hey there! I followed you over here!!

I would TOTALLY pick DL and the Grand Californian! We could never afford the trip with airfare and such! I also have some friends in the LA area, so I'd get to visit with them. And I totally agree- the idea of DL is overwhelming, even though it's only 2 parks!

 

[loveshak22]

Maybe that's why they only list 4 winners when 7 were supposed to be picked by the 11th??

Thanks for all the info! And like other posters said, let us know what you decide to go with! FUN!!!

I'm using IE on both my work and home computer. I thought maybe there was some security setting at work that caused an error even though it worked fine for the first week. Hopefully my home doesn't mess up because I like entering online better than texting. Fingers crossed!

I think they might not list them as "winners" until the potential winner sends back the necessary paperwork/agreements etc. I don't believe they would list them when they are only a potential winner and I imagine everyone who wins would have to agree to have their name/photo used or else they would not be able to win the prize. That's usually how the rules are with contests like this. The winners of the later dates might not be listed yet because the deadline for them to accept the prize and send in the paperwork hasn't occurred yet.

i also go to mousesavers.com for other disney contests

I bet cleaning your history/cookies would fix it

fyi to you and all that need it

I think because it only allows one entry a day, we will need to clean cookies and history each day. You can get a free cleaner online that works great and is good practice anyway A computer tech told me of this free one and it works great for me:

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

you can set it to do what you need, in this case it "Temporary files, history, cookies, Autocomplete form history, index.dat." will work, but it can do all of this:

Cleans all areas of your Computer

Internet Explorer
Temporary files, history, cookies, Autocomplete form history, index.dat.

Firefox
Temporary files, history, cookies, download history, form history.

Google Chrome
Temporary files, history, cookies, download history, form history.

Opera
Temporary files, history, cookies.

Safari
Temporary files, history, cookies, form history.

Windows
Recycle Bin, Recent Documents, Temporary files and Log files.

Registry Cleaner
Advanced features to remove unused and old registry entries.

Let me know if it helps anyone... it should! Best of Luck to All!!!

I think I figured out that clearing the cookies worked for my home computer. At work I thought I did clear the cookies but I'm thinking maybe an administrator has to do that and that's why I can't get it fixed at work.

At home I wasn't having any problems until I entered my mom in the contest. She has her own account and lives in another state and she never remembers to enter. Since I'm obsessive and make sure to enter every day I tried to enter her. It worked but then the next time I went to enter I got the error message. So I think if you try to enter more than one time with different accounts it messes something up - even though my mom and I are 2different people, with 2 different accounts, addresses, and names it must think I'm trying to trick them by entering more than once. But if I clear the cookies it seems to fix the problem (fingers crossed that holds true).

Thanks for the tips!

Anyone know how I do this (clear my cookies) on a Mac??? I can't find it (I know, I know).

Even though I enter every day, I would have to see if I could donate the trip since my boss would not give me the time off to go no matter what.
I would stay at the Grand as others have suggested.

Thanks Shannon, I mentally mis-read the dates. My boss is very draconian about my vacation away from the practice and August is about it for a trip.

Thanks for the enlightenment..We have at least a 7 inches of snow over night. Have a great day,
