WDW "Vacation A Day" Contest!

[Enchanted Minnie]

So everyday I come check here right away after I've entered to see if any one else has won! I hope one of us wins soon!! I have entered this one, the American Tourister one, and the SWA one. But this is my top pick!!!!! Fingers and toes crossed we here something soon!!!

C'mon Disney! I'm hoping that they tell us today that we won, so it can be a great birthday surprise for DH. But, if they tell us later this week, I'm cool with it too.

Run, don't walk, to the theater to see "Finding Mr Banks". We saw it on Sunday and it was one of the best movies I have ever seen! Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson should be getting Oscar nominations for this one.

I totally agree!

I was able to see this amazing movie at the Passholder Preview at the Premiere Theater in DHS!

Then,after the screening,because Grauman's Chinese Theater was the location for the Mary Poppins World Premiere in 1964,they took us over to the Great Movie Ride Courtyard and "recreated" the Premiere with a red carpet and appearances by Mary,Bert,the Penguins and the Chimney Sweeps.

It was an amazing night-nobody does it like Disney!

Right, but it also says "Administrator will conduct a Daily Drawing on or about three (3) business days after the applicable Day in order to select the potential winner of each Daily Sweepstakes."

So looks like it could be up to 4 business days after applying before you are notified.

Good point!!

However, I do remember last year that some folks were really harsh on the winners....harping on and on about the taxes, making a case for a scam instead of a legitimate win, etc. Hope that didn't scare off some DIS winners from posting this year...

I remember that! Wasn't it about some people saying they never got a call or email and just got a FedEx package but since other people said they got calls/emails first people didn't believe the posters who said they just got FedEx?

THAT is awesome!!!! How'd you get in on that???

Hubs took me to see the movie while DD was at MIL's for the week. We saw 3 movies that week, but saved Saving Mr. Banks for last, as he knows my Disney obsession. When press started coming out for the movie, he asked me to avoid it all as much as I could, and that he knew he wanted to take me to it. I knew nothing about it except that Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks were in it, and that Tom Hanks was playing Disney. That's it - it was SO neat to see it without any preconceived notions!!!

It's surprising there aren't any winners here on the DIS yet. Any on any other sweeps boards that anyone belongs to? (I don't belong to any). Kind of gives me hope though - maybe there are still THAT many days I still have a chance at winning for!!

That had to have been an incredible experience!

 

[disneynan]

I have seen it twice and I have a whole new appreciate for Mary Poppins. I can't hear one song now with out smiling and getting a bit teary. (I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it)

We had 3 grown men with us in tears by the end.....amazing movie! Went home, made dinner and watched Mary Poppins.

I'm really shocked about the lack of winners too. We are almost to the halfway point. Seems to me that at some point last year (I think early on) the DISers accounted for 30% of the winners. I can't believe that we are at 0%. Maybe someone has won, but doesn't want to announce until they have been verified.

Kind of interesting how many posts on this thread without a winner though, huh? We are truly a bunch of obsessed folks.

If we won, I would definitely be on here sharing the magic

Still waiting though

 

[taraaplin]

It won't let me or my husband register today! It says we are not eligible. Is anyone else having this problem?!

 

[wendow]

I just registered for today with no problems.

I'm holding out hope that they are going to just draw all the winners at the end of the month...maybe...could happen, right??

Yeah, some winners from past contests received no warning about a Fed Ex package while others got a call or email like you said. Some people kept bugging the winners about how everyone would be notified, but nobody really knows for sure, so it was annoying at times getting people to believe that there were winners. So we'll see...either way, it will be exciting if a DIS member wins

 

[jk and ek]

i live in new york (home of the infamous 212 area code) so it's not usual to get calls from numbers that have it. i also don't like to answer calls from numbers i do not recognize so it's made waiting on this contest tricky!

oh and i have a really awesome phone number that consists of only 2 different numbers so i tend to get 'wrong number' calls more than the average person.

just now a number called 4 times in quick succession and for a moment i was like, 'could it be...?' but it was just some person who thought they were calling a doctor's office. oh well!

It is possible they draw all of that weeks winners on one day, instead of doing a drawing each day. So theoretically, a winner from Saturday might not be chosen until Wednesday or something. So not all hope is lost for past days

 

[mjallemand]

Gah! I entered this on like the first or second day but forgot since. I need to make it my homepage so I don't forget for the rest of the month.

Oh well, 15 days of entries are better than 0 I guess.

 

[WVTinkGrl]

I am so excited for this contest! I check this thread every day to see if we have any winners. I've been entering everyday since the 2nd or 3rd.

If we won, we would use the trip during my cousins wedding in November. They are getting married at the Wedding Pavilion (where I was married too) and I cannot wait for all the fun. I would want to stay at the Contemporary resort, for easy access to Magic Kingdom.

Someone over on Reddit may have won, if that answers you guys' questions of whether folks are notified immediately or not.

Hope someone from The Dis wins!

Well he says his wife won a 5 day trip so could be a winner of this contest! I didn't read through all the comments but the meme was funny!
