I read the excellent and exciting thread about the night in the castle and got to thinking, what is "immediate family"? Our DNep works in WDW, could we win a big prize? Is he immediate? Anyone know?

Thanks as I am planning on winning the castle stay or DVC when we go in Nov ;) :lmao:
 
According to the 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway rules, immediate family members are defined as anyone who is a "spouse, or biological, adoptive or step- mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son or any dependent under applicable income tax law."

As long as you don't claim your nephew as a dependent, you're all set. :thumbsup2
 
Excellent, now all I have to do is win! :rotfl:

Forgive me for being dense but does this mean my family could win? My MIL works for our local Disney store, we live with her but she does not claim us in any way.

Thanks!

Here's the Eligibility section from the official rules, complete with all the legalese. Since the Disney Stores are back under Disney ownership, and since you live with her, I don't think you're eligible. Sorry!:sad1:
The 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway (the "Giveaway") provides participants with the chance to win prizes starting on January 1, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2008 (the "Giveaway Period"). Each person who participates and/or is awarded a prize in the Giveaway fully and unconditionally agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Magic Kingdom Productions, Inc. ("Sponsor") and Creata (USA) Inc. ("Creata"), the administering agency for the Giveaway, which shall be final, binding and conclusive in all matters relating to this Giveaway.

1.ELIGIBILITY

Void for persons who are not legal residents of the fifty (50) United States ("U.S."), District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom ("UK"), Australia, Japan and where prohibited by law. Persons in any of the following categories are NOT eligible to participate or win prizes in the Giveaway: (a) persons who on or after May 1, 2006 were or are directors, officers or employees of Sponsor, Creata, or their respective parent, subsidiary, or affiliated companies, any other individuals or companies engaged in the administration, development, production or distribution of the Giveaway, and any advertising or promotion agencies associated with the Giveaway; (b) persons who on or after May 1, 2006 were or are on-site directors, officers or employees of any commercial establishment at the Disney Properties (as hereinafter defined); and (c) persons who are immediate family members (defined as spouse, or biological, adoptive or step- mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son or any dependent under applicable income tax law) of any person in any of the preceding categories, regardless of where they live, or who reside in the same household, whether an immediate family member or not, as any person in any of the preceding categories. Except as otherwise set forth in these Official Rules, prizes won by a person who is a minor in his or her state, territory, province or country of residence ("Minor") may, in Sponsor's sole discretion, be awarded to his or her parent or legal guardian, and, in the case of prizes that, in Sponsor's sole discretion, require winner verification, that parent or legal guardian will be responsible for completing the verification process and executing all "Prize Claim Documents" (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise complying with all requirements imposed on winners set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and unless otherwise permitted by Sponsor in its sole discretion, in the event a Minor is the winner of any prize in which the winner is permitted to travel to, stay at or attend an event, site or destination, such Minor and any guest (as applicable) must be accompanied by his/her parent or legal guardian on such prize and, as applicable, the parent or legal guardian will be considered one (1) of the allotted guests.
 
Yes, I forgot about the living together part in the rules. I just got a little excited when I read the part about not claiming us as dependents. I didn't think we would be eligible but with an upcoming trip wanted to be 100% sure.
