Ha! Good memory! I did win a trip in 2011. I actually described our experience a little in the above TR. I copied and pasted it here:

Our trip took place August 2011. We didn't write a trip report unfortunately. We had a bat in the house just prior to the trip and all had to get rabies shots . Then we flew home over Hurricane Irene just in time for it to hit us here in RI. Soooo things were a little crazy and I didn't get it done.

Our win was kind of a cool story.
I am the Disney freek of the family. We took the kids to WDW in 2007 & 2009. The summer of 2010 I started planning for a spring 2011 trip. Well, DH had just returned to grad school and sadly sat me down to discuss what I already knew- no $ for a 2011 trip. I had just read an article about sweepstakes and optimistically told him not to worry I would just win a trip! He practically patted me on the head, thanked his lucky stars that I was that easily placated and wished me good luck! Every morning, I took 10-15 minutes to enter any Disney sweeps I could find. My DS goofed on me all the time. I started in August 2010 and got the email that I won at the end of Jan. 2011. It was a Radio Delilah contest. I had to write an essay about my favorite Disney memory. 10 people won. The trip included airfare, park hoppers and 3 nights at a deluxe as well as $300 giftcard. We got our first choice of the Polynesian and they put us in a Theme Park view room! I rented points to extend the trip 3 nights at AKV. Despite the drama before and after the trip, we had a blast. We tried the waterparks for the 1st time and decided to see all the smaller attractions we never took the time for before. I still enter every Disney sweeps I can find!

Maybe the key is logging out every time and using different devices or browsers for the two accounts when you enter?

Good luck everyone!!!

My dh, who is an IT guy, says to log out each time and re-log in. He says we shouldn't need to do that but if it makes us feel better about making sure they got our entry, then do that

Tell him thanks for the tip!!

The confirmation that I entered correctly helps keep me sane LOL!!

Well, my memory isn't always that good LOL I also enter every Disney trip contest I can find......think I began around 2011 so reading about your experiences may have encouraged me to start. I haven't won a trip yet, but did win a $750 Best Buy gift card and $2500 cash in 2012 and have also won various small items. Best of luck for both of us to be winners this month!

Thanks for the link.....it is the same trip report as the other link.......but a very good report and great to read while dreaming of a win!

Well, today I was able to enter and I'm believe that it went through.

Went to the website and logged in for me. Click on the enter button, agree to the terms and then it said "verifying" and then it stated "Thanks for entering"

Yay - I feel better now that it says verifying as it had never said that to me before.

Good luck to everyone entering - surely hope we have some DIS people win this contest.

In the same boat. I guess though we'd have to cross that bridge if we won. Counting our chickens before they are hatched. Just now found this thread. Had started one on the Community Board because I did not know this one existed. It is so exciting!

We won 2 years ago. We have a family of 5. We were able to stay in a deluxe room and had to buy an extra plane ticket and park ticket! They were very accommodating.

I'm going to have to pay more attention. I hope mine said "verifying." I don't remember that.

Remember to enter!

I remember when you won also!

 

[pwdebbie]

I must be the only person here that isn't interested in staying in the castle suite. I wonder if they would allow a winner to gift the night to someone else?

 

[kirbyx5]

I remember when you won also!

Disneynan you were so helpful!! I think we both need to win and we can go at the same time and meet!!!

 

[Sleepy425]

Crossing my fingers! We are a family of 6, but two of the kids are only 1 so it wouldn't cost any extra for them to tag along.
If I'm not lucky enough to win, I am excited to read about other people's experiences. Hope we have at least a few winners here again this year!

That sounds like a perfect plan!
