YOAMD Postcards and Winners

[tjmw2727]

Congrats! I just started entering so I probably won't see anything for a couple of months (if I'm that lucky )

Are there mailboxes in the parks? I was thinking of doing that on my trip since postage is cheaper in the US.

Not sure about the parks but all the resorts have a mailbox. At POFQ it was in the lobby by the gift shop and right on the way to the bus stop!!

Cool! I will have to get my friend to send me some stamps or prepaid postcards!!

If that dosen't work out you can just buy the postcards and then get the postcard rate stamps when your at WDW. The resort gift shops all sell stamps in both letter and post card rate.

I cannot believe it! In Jan I won a lanyard/pin set...then in March another lanyard/pin set arrived in my name...The last week of march I won a set of ears...last week someone else in my family finally won-- my 9 year old daughter and 2 year old son both won lanyard/pin sets........now for the info on my lucky week---this week alone Tuesday my hubby finally won ears and to my astonishment the doorbell rang again today--my 2 year old son and 9 year old daughter won ears! Can you believe it!? My 14 year old daughter thinks that I am secretly not sending in any cards with her name....she is the only person that has not won anything at all. NOW FOR THE REALLY GOOD NEWS.......all of this has really pumped up my hubby and he FINALLY gave in and gave me the go-ahead to book a trip.....IN THREE WEEKS!!! I am so excited--when I began sending in cards I thought...well, I might win one pair of ears OR one pin/lanyard set IF I AM LUCKY....I hope our luck continues during our WDW trip may 8-15!! Good luck to everyone else, I hope that you are as lucky as our family....maybe this trip will be the luck my 14 year old needs to win

In MK, just outside Town Hall is a mailbox attached to a lightpost.
In Epcot, where I checked in for my SEGWAY tour had a mail slot.
Those were the only 2 parks I mailed postcards from...the others went through the mailbox at my resort.

I thought you had to be 18 to enter?

No you do not have to be 18.

Is it once a day per person?

It is once a day per person.

Now that I got that straight! lol

I was wondering? Did you hand address your postcards or did you use pre-printed stickers? I have been using postcards that I pre-prepared stickers with the to and from addresses along with the required information. As a after thought I am wondering it that was ok to do?

I really don't know what the answer is, but we've won ears and a lanyard&pins and I hand wrote all of them.

We bought a pack of 100 blank white 3.5X5 post cards at the PO for $26.00. We also picked up some 2 cent stamps for when the rate increases from 24 to 26 cents. We are hand writting our information just to be safe .

We have been adding little Disney stickers for fun and to spice up the blankness of the card.

I won ears for my whole family (three set arrived today!) and I used the PO post cards, not modified in any way, with computer printed labels for the mailing address and our information. My handwriting is terrible, so I wanted to be sure they were legible!! Now, I think I might buy a few more postcards and try to win me some lanyards!!

3 ears and 1 lanyard w/pins came today.
still no cruise

Congrats! Did the ears come addressed to each member separately or all together? I'm just curious b/c I started sending out 3 cards a day (one for each of us) and I'd be shocked if they related all three as a "family" if one happened to get picked.

Hi y'all!

Won a pair of ears today! I have been handwriting the entries since the start of YOAMD! I have slacked off quite a bit lately...but this is my second pair! YEA YEA One for DS and one for DD!

We got three boxes -- one addressed to each of us. It is such a shame, they spent $6.35 PER BOX to mail them!! It just seemed weird that all three of us won on the exact same day. I don't know how they do it!

That is so cool! I just started sending postcards in, so I have a few months to wait before I *might* possibly win something, but it's awesome to hear about other people winning!

How are you people doing this????? 1 ear here, 2 ears there, here an ear there an ear....but none over here!! Someday my ears will come......

I won a Disneyland Lanyard with Pins yesterday. I have been sending postcards since January but haven't mailed anything for awhile. I still have a bunch of postcards so I started mailing them in today!

We're hoping for DVC.

 

[WeirdTigger27]

Oh yeah! DH&I both won DL lanyards yesterday, they weren't packaged together. So that brings us to one pair of WDW ears and 3 DL lanyards! Come on DVC!!!

My 1yo won a pair of ears today!!!
