ok here's what I don't get. The prize package is for 4 nights with 5 days of park tickets, right? From the trip reports of others who have won a stay in Cinderella's castle, they've reported leaving most of their stuff in their hotel room and packing an overnight bag for the castle. So doesn't that really mean it's a 3 night stay? Or do they do that for simplicity and really they have it figured out when you do win?

I just assumed that one of the night's stays was the Cinderella Castle, I would consider that a deluxe. As far as the 5 days of park tickets, if you get there early on the first day you can still go to the park. Especially in the summer when the park is opened late.

I think we would extend our stay a few days, so we could relax the first day at the pool....and then still get a full 5 days in the park.

I just tried again and was able to login and enter.

I would just keep trying....

I haven't had any entry issues at all.

DH, who has been entering daily, just lost his mind. He was flipping through our phone and saw that we had a call from WDW today. He didn't realize that the sweepstakes wins would come from Ventura. He plays the message, and it said "Mr. Walker, this is so-and-so calling from Walt Disney World."

It was the DVC salesperson that we met with in June letting us know that Poly is going on sale.

DH has decided that Disney should not be allowed to call anyone for any reason until March, so as to not unnecessarily get anyone's hopes up

That is too funny and so true! I got a call early yesterday morning while at work from a number that I didn't recognize. I am not supposed to be on the phone, but of course I answered.......turned out to be someone from the campground in Maine that we are booking for our summer vacation.

The entry page is wonky. There is no way to click on enter. Hopefully, it gets straightened out soon.

I got it yesterday and today. My tinfoil hat is blazing.

 

[RejoyceoverDisney]

Any one get this reply today. It was my first attempt to enter today.


Thank you for entering!
Maximum submissions exceeded. Please try again later.

First I got "there was an error try again" and then I got this message.
I'll try again later. Although I do have thoughts of firing that software engineer or team working on the website. This is crazy. Not as if we are not already having anxiety waiting to be called and told we won.

Now if i have my facts right, we can breath on weekends, right?
They will only contact us during the week? right?

 

[RejoyceoverDisney]

Really wonky!!! There is no way for me to login and the enter button now gone.

Wonder if the server hits are too big for the number of people trying to login and enter. I'd be really curious to see the stats of how many people enter each day.

Guess later will be much later.

Yes I see your point. However, this contest is giving away 31 trips, not just one. Not to mention the fact that this group of Disney fans has had its fair share of winners over the last few years which is really cool!

I know a lot of Disney fans in my immediate circle, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one entering everyday and checking my phone/email like a maniac. Perhaps I need a life, but that's another topic for another day...

Being the paranoid that I am, I sometimes feel like I'd have better luck if I didn't enter everyday and I didn't obsess! Last year several of the winners reported on the thread that they had not entered everyday and only entered once or twice...it seems like those less obsessed seem to have better luck LOL!!

Of course I think there were only 5 that reported winning last year out of 31 winners so I guess we don't know how many times the other 26 winners entered!

 

[Manders77]

I so want to win this year. I've entered the past three contests and nothing. This year is my year, right. My top three are:

1) Contemporary
2) Grand Floridian and
3) Beach Club

Me too, been entering every year and every day. Would love to win this year, 2015 is my year! My top 3 choices would be
1. Contemporary
2. Poly
3. Beach Club or Grand Floridian or AKL (not sure yet)

I think I am going to check out mousesavers and those other contests as well. I wanted to go this year but financially things started to turn around for us at the end of 2014 so probably have to postpone till 2016 unless I win. Here's hoping for some good news in the coming weeks, sooner the better.

 

[loveshak22]

I really am torn on where we'd pick if we do win...last year's winners said that if there were just two people going they doubled the nights and tickets to make up for the prize being for 4 people. IF we win and IF that is true I might see if they'd let me do a split stay. If so I think we'd do one of the three options:

1. CR 4 nights/GF 3 nights/Castle 1 night...although I really don't have a huge desire to stay at the GF, however given the price it may be my only time to give it a try and see what all the fuss is about

2. Poly 4 nights/CR 3 nights/Castle 1 night

3. Poly or CR 4 nights/YC 3 nights/Castle 1 night

 

[IWannaBuildASnowman]

Well, I have no delusions about whether we're going to win, but it's fun to fantazise! We'd go Floridian. What are the crowds like in April?

 

[PirateD]

I got the same, and was hoping it would have me verify my information before entering! I'm terrified that they have an old phone number or address on that account, and I could find NOWHERE to check my account information!! Is it the same account I used to book my vacation a few years ago? I don't feel like I even really entered (not having entered or verified any information!!) Anyone know how to do this?! Freaking out here! t

I started worrying about this so I went on and checked. My shipping address and phone number were missing even though I know I have given them both before. It would be just my luck that my entry won last week and then I was disqualified for no contact info.

 

[debjk4]

So, initially I had no login or enter button. Refreshed 12X--I know, that's sad that I counted!!!--and alas---a login, enter button, AND a verifying message! I can put up with it all just for the chance to win!

 

[3PrincessesAndaFrog]

The weekends are always long as I know that it is not a "business day" and no one will be emailing or calling anyone to notify the winner.

I really hope someone on this board wins again this year.

Someone posted the other day that someone posted they won on another thread but I don't think they ever posted the link to the other thread on this thread so we could go see what the winner posted...at least if they did I missed it. I was hoping someone would encourage the winner to join this thread to give us the details but nothing here yet...

I posted the link on page 26

But they haven't given much info on that thread.

Ok I tried your strategy and got up to 5 refreshers. Then the page came up and it would not let me click on the entry button in fact it came up to the page where it gave your the three steps to enter but the page would not recognize my cursor and would not let me click on it to start the enter process..SO FRUSTRATING .....I been trying since 6am this morning

 

[DLandgirlie]

I have only had one problem logging in, and that was when I followed the instructions of:
1)Press enter
2)Log in
3) agree to terms/conditions and click enter again
No bueno: Maximum entries/error/try again later popped up

So what works for me is:
1)Login
2) Press Enter
3) Agree to terms/conditions and press enter again
then I get the "thanks for entering!"
4)Logout
Rinse and repeat for the next morning

Thanks for posting the link and letting me know what page it's on!!
