It's Back-January Trip-A-Day Contest!

[DisneySide]

Thanks for all the well wishes! I will definitely check out the disboards for planning our trip.

Don't give up on the error messages. On most days my enter button disappeared and I had to close and reopen the window several times or try logging out and back in, or I'd get error messages and then eventually a "maximum submissions received." It still went through!!!

I know that's going to be encouraging to a lot of people on this thread. Thank you!

hi there co-winner... any idea when Disney will contact us? I have been reading and I hear that Disney contacts us but my previous winners, they receive a questionnaire... any idea?

Good to know.

BTW everyone!!! Did you see the post that Dis is moving to a new Board?
I saw a link, I guess they are getting a facelift and trying some new type of board. I believe the date is 2/8/15.

Just an FYI. I imagine they will do more notices as it gets closer.

Do you remember where you saw the article or post? I'd love to read up on the migration too.

Looks like it's in technical support.
I found it by looking at new posts. There is something at the very top of the new posts but that wouldn't let me look at it and then I found a thread.
I copied the link and will paste it here but I don't know if it will work.

My aunt won last year and I remember it took awhile for her to be contacted. It's been almost a year, of course, but thinking it was about 2 weeks or so. She first had to select WDW or DLR. I didn't read the rules on this contest to know if DLR was an option...thinking with the night in the castle, who would choose DLR!?!? Anyways, after she chose WDW, she was contacted by an agent who plans for WDW and she did get a questionnaire. She had to rank her hotel choices first to third choice and she had to list some possible dates. She had to list if there would be additional people (over the 4) going and if they would need an additional room. That is all I can remember at the moment.

Can't wait to hear how all your planning goes!!

Took a long nap during the storm this evening, did my treadmill at 11:45 pm, and now checking out the DIS as I watch the storm raging outside. The snow is absolutely gorgeous blowing around in the crazy winds. It really looks like silver and white glitter under the flood lights!

It's been fun reading all the snow posts and MA posts as I scanned through them checking to see if any lucky new winners posted. LOL many times while reading the towns and cities spelled out like we pronounce them! My town was listed and just like it is said! I was shocked to go to our local Walmart (Leicester-okay Lestah) and find it calm and well stocked early this afternoon. DD went to WSU for 1 hour before classes were cancelled. She lives at home, but I know when my son was at UMASS and only 1 hour away, I couldn't wait to see him. Now he lives just outside of Boston and taking on his 1st big storm there and wondering where he needs to park. To the above poster, I hope you enjoy the extra time with your son, that he can't wait to help shovel you out , and the comforts of moms cooking brings him back again soon!

I need to sleep and get ready to shovel tomorrow. DH's sciatic nerve hasn't bothered him in years and wouldn't you know it has him in pain today. He is miserable. No ibuprofen in the house and stranded at this point. I had a medical procedure performed last week and am not supposed to do heavy lifting. Thank goodness the snow is light! Now if I can just keep my DS-12 from snowboarding off every stairway and patio and packing the snow down before he and I shovel! Gosh, I need to win this trip too! For tonight I will just dream of what the castle would look lit up at Christmas in this glistening snow-NOT that I want cold anytime at WDW!

 

[riverbend]

I hope all of you Massachusettsans (...? ) are all hunkered down and safe! Sounds like you bore the brunt of the storm.

 

[j2thomason]

no enter button for me today...ugh!

 

[Maineiak]

Got my entry in perfectly during the blizzahd!

First ever snow day for me, DD and DW all at the same time! My wife's office has closed before, but mine never has in 12 plus years!

My nephews girlfriend (unofficial fiance) is graduating from WSU this year.
DS is at BC (the other one) and lived next to you the first year. We seem to be the same distance from everywhere. LOL I guess that is a good thing if we ever sell.

I feel your husbands pain. Really. I bought me a new bottle yesterday to be sure I wasn't stranded. DH just went to the end of the deck to clear the bird feeder. Poor little guys. Anyway the snow was above his knees.

I'd post pictures but I don't know how. We have at least 18 inches if not more and they news is saying we can expect them through midnight tonight. Yipppy! At least we are not near the coast or in the worse part of it.
And we still have power and internet!!! yay! Cause if we lose power I was never able to get the DiS app to work on my android.

Oh bTW I was able to enter no problem from my bed this morning. LOL
First thing I do before I get out of bed is enter and it's been working.
Now to have that work to make Betty email me would be good.

Again I'm glad I don't live on the coast. Hull seems to be in really bad shape.

Our DIS friend that posted on here she is leaving on Friday. Fingers crossed you get out with little to no problems.

for the record.....I just saw school closing for (Lestah) and (Lemon-stah) and yes I guess I do drop the "er" on that one too. I guess I switch back and forth.

This sure doesn't compare to the "snoap" on Main street WDW and HS.

My husband doesn't get snow days. He is expected to make up the hours or use personal time. sigh. Cuts into Disney time.

I had a very vivid dream last night that I got a winning email. Here's hoping it's foreshadowing

In other news I got an error message trying to enter this morning.

Me too. I've gotten errors probably 50% of the time. My dh has only gotten an error like once. He is shocked at how often I get errors

Me too and I woke up with a feeling of sureness. No e-mail, but maybe it's a sign. I hope we both get e-mails.

So we're at 5 Disboard winners and all for the first two weeks of January right? As anyone won for after January 15th? Makes me think there is a bit of a delay and we'll for more winners soon, maybe we'll end up with at least 5 more!!!

I've entered every day and yesterday was the first time I got the error message.

Was wondering what the email address was that it comes from, so we can add it to our contacts and hopefully avoid the evil spam folder!

 

[Leeba]

I've only ever gotten the "maximum submissions reached" message after I had other errors entering. So my guess is that when there's an error entering, it sometimes goes through anyway. Even though I was thinking it didn't go through, so I went ahead and tried again. So the maximum submissions message means that I attempted to enter more than once in that day.

I never took it to mean that the system reached the maximum number of entrants, overall, for that day. I always thought it meant that my attempts previously that day worked.

Not sure, but that's how i've seen it. I could be wrong of course.
