There is a possibility that some people who won earlier than that haven't been notified because the blizzards probably kept Betty Woods from the office. So there could be more notified further into the month of Feb. but they could have been notified the same day as some of the other winners. We don't know how many people Betty emails during a certain day so there's a little more hope. Does that make sense?
I can't see what that is but it looks cold like me. LOL
oh wait pool side might be nice too. 
Awesome - congrats!!! That is so cool that you won on your birthday! My DH's birthday is 1/28 so maybe we'll have the same luck and he'll get a winning email soon as well
Have fun with all your planning!
Ohhhh my... lol. If we are on the same schedule then we won't hear until my current FP+ selection day... which is also my last day to cancel our flights without penalty. Then I only have two weeks after that to cancel our packages without two more penalties (my parents are on one package and I'm on another so that'd be another $400 wasted)! Are you in the facebook group...? I asked to join but haven't heard back yet - curious if ~23 days is par for the course so far or if there is hope of being able to do this smartly. I have trip insurance, which includes cancellation and such but sadly winning a sweepstake and needing to cancel within the penalty window is not covered.
:3
LOL that would be my story to justify too. 
Hmm just a thought.....DH and I was talking about this last night.
Do you think that you will need to cancel that flight either way because Disney will not give you the money to reimburse you for the flight? My assumption (and i could eat crow) is that they have accounts with the airlines for deals and that they will be using their own to get you to Florida. So on that note, your choice is to plan two vacations or cancel this one and wait to see when you can get your winning vacation scheduled.
Granted I've never won anything like this (I only ever recall winning a tone your abs contraption) so there is just assume on my part. Most specifically because I don't see them giving you your money for something you already paid for. Again wishing you Pixie Dust it works out the way you want but I'm thinking lucky you as you potentially are in the run for 2 vacations.
I keep saying they're invited but they keep saying what fun for us so I had to spell it out for them. I went over all the options we have as well, and I came back to find the answer I was looking for it seems from Serial below: 
I still say go with 2 vacations!!!
Of course my DH being the killjoy said "Well don't forget the Flipside vacation isn't FREE because of the taxes so one has to take that into account if they are going to take 2 vacations can they afford to do that is more the question." Such a killjoy.
Thanks Serial for sharing from your perspective as a winner and the information you have from your emails and such.
So it sounds like they need like 3 months to set everything up so that means they aren't letting anyone vacation much before May. Hmmm that works for me. Actually works very well for me. So come on Betty, don't make me wait much longer.
We can afford it - but there is a guilty part of me that doesn't *want* to. If we maxed out at the suggested cost then its going to be somewhere between $1750 & $2300 or so in taxes come next year.... we'll surely go at a lower time of year than that but still. We'll still need to get a second room for my parents for three nights as well. In truth, if it were up to me I'd cancel May but my Dad immediately said go twice (if you knew him you'd be 
). But then, this sort of thing does NOT happen every day! We had enough of a refund this year that I think we won't owe next tax season, or at least not much. We plugged it in with this years numbers and everything was OK. I'm just going to have to triple check at work that they are OK with me taking a couple of days unpaid since I had already scheduled my vacation time, but I think I am in for TWO trips this year. 
Well I just got back from coffee with everyone and my parents are struggling with the concept that they're being invited!
90 days means May is certainly out the window which is sad but I am glad I have my answer! We don't do the dining plan so thankfully thats not an issue for us - I'll reply to your PM shortly thank you!
I think I would get along splendidly with your husband!
