No enter button today! And this is on my desktop. I'll try from my iPad....

I have found that going in through the Spanish site works if there is no Enter button.

I have found that going in through the Spanish site works if there is no Enter button.

THIS!!!!

Although...it did crack me up that after everything is in Spanish ...and I entered based on what I remeber doing from the English version. (Trust me...don't speak or read Spanish!!)
But after entering it still said "Thank you for entering!" In English.

Now I only hope when I win they don't call me with a Spanish only speaking cast member!

My husband and I have done this numerous times now. Never an issue on that site.

Man I feel bad for you guys. I always get the enter button and I enter on my work computer, my home laptop, and my iPhone. I use internet explorer and Firefox.

 

[Jfsag123]

Enter button back now.

 

[larryz]

Enter button back now.

Not for me, using both Firefox and IE11... at least, not on the English page...

That darn missing Enter button got me again today. It finally worked for me a little while ago. My dh laughed at me for getting upset, but I NEED to enter so I can win a stay in the castle! Why doesn't he understand? LOL

Because I'm frugal (yes, I really mean cheap), we have only stayed at the value resorts so far. If I were so lucky as to win, I'd choose a monorail resort. I think Contemporary would be me first choice, followed by GF, and then the Poly. I never win anything but a girl can dream, right?

I did not win a trip but my aunt did and we got to go with her. She took my dd's as her 3rd and 4th guests. Then my dh & our ds's went along but our trip wasn't free. It was discounted though

It did take quite awhile for you to be contacted by the person from Disney who coordinates your trip and to get it all planned out. In fact, my aunt wasn't even contacted until mid-Feb or so.

She got to choose from any WDW hotel except the DVC's. She chose the GF and was given a lagoon view. She was able to book another room through the agency that handled the promo at 40-50% off. We booked at the Poly so we would be close by but save a bit over the GF's prices. Sadly, the trips won last year did not include the stay in Cinderella castle. We stayed longer than the 4 nights so the other nights were charged at the discounted rate.

Oh and get this, my dh & I entered every day last Jan. My aunt only entered like 3 times ANd she won! So you just never know!!

If anyone has any questions about how they do things, I can try to answer.

That is amazing that your aunt won! What I'm curious is about is that we technically have 5 people, but one is under 3, so I assume he doesn't count?

Good to know that you can pay to extend your visit, I wonder how that works with flights? Can you add a DDP to your stay?

We won last year and extended our stay three nights. There were no issues with flights. Return was just booked at the end of seven nights instead of four.

You are told specifically that you can not add DDP to the prize, but we wouldn't have done so anyway.

I can only speculate on a child under three and my guess is he/she will not count anywhere they wouldn't normally count on a regular stay. So if the dont normally need theme park tickets, they won't need them on a prize trip. If they won't have their own airline seat (not recommended!) they won't count. Etc....

Hi all!
I've found it helps if you favorite the page. I favorited the page the first day I started entering and since then have had no problems accessing the enter button. I have to log in each time but my computer remembers my log in and password so it's not hard at all. Hope that helps everyone and good luck!

I made the page a favorite in both my IE and Chrome browsers and that's always how I go to the site but I have had issues 2 days out of the 11...there doesn't seem to be a pattern for when it goes wonky for some people and not others. Some people say clicking on the link from somewhere else works, some say logging out each night, but then there's always someone who has an issue with anyway they seem to try it - - - maybe Ventura wants to weed out the quitters - LOL!!

I can relate. However because everything is so expensive up here for summer hotel options, Disney moderates don't sound like a lot to me. And being that we don't take kids with us, I don't have a desire to save more at the values. BUT if I keep itching like I am, there might be a value resort trip planned next.

That is after I win a Castle trip. LOL

I never win anything either.

Like cattywampus posted, there was no problem extending our trip. My aunt just told the lady who coordinated everything what day we wanted to leave and she booked the (free) flights. My aunt and I booked the extra flights.

We were told we could not add the DDP but that costs us more than paying OOP so we wouldn't have done that anyways.

And yes, your under 3yo would be free and would not count in the room occupancy

 

[RejoyceoverDisney]

No enter button for me today either. I've tried refreshing and using different browsers.

I've had several days where it has not asked for my login info either.

Typical Disney IT.

I LOVE your Disney cakes!!!!!!!!
What talent!

Maybe I'll have to find you in NH and have you make my birthday cake.

 

[RejoyceoverDisney]

No button for me either today. It happened to me once before, but I just switched browsers and was fine. No such luck today. The only upside i can think of is that maybe this is discouraging people less determined than us from entering, increasing our chances.

I like your thinking.

I thought the same thing. But I didn't bother to try through there.
That would be funny though.

 

[RejoyceoverDisney]

Go figure!!!!!!!

For giggles I went up to site.
I didn't login, but went right to the enter.
Never asked me to login and went through and told me I was entered.
Then I looked it said I was logged in.

Whatever!!!

Oh Pixie dust Oh Pixie dust please sprinkle my way

My 21 year old went back to college today. I have such mixed emotions over this. He is only 30 minutes away but is not good about calling or answering my texts. So hard and heartbreaking to let go. I need a vacation.

For those of you that won and extended your trip, would you mind sharing what kind of discount you were given for the added nights you paid for?

I read on a post that it was 50% off.
But decisions change so don't bank on it.
They could resort to the 20 or 30% usual.
If at all.

I don't remember exactly but it was around $360 per night for GF.
