YOAMD Postcards and Winners

[Davefrompgh]

OMG...we have very dear friends who live next door to us. They were going to stay in FLA with her sister and decided to take a 2 day trip to DW...we are the Disney people are told her where to go and what parks to visit. Well.....I got a call from her yesterday. Their family (a total of 7 people) was the winner yesterday. They got a nights stay at Cinderella's castle, dinner at the round table (private Cinderella photos), stuffed Mickey and Minnie's, ride in the afternoon parade, VIP seats for Wishes etc........I am sooo excited for them, she was so stressed out before they left. She took a ton of pictures of the suite. I will try and get them posted when she comes back...how cool

Please forgive the paranoid question, but I need to know, from those who have won. Are you including dates of birth? In this age of identity theft, I am feeling a little paranoid about including that piece of information. For those of you who have won, did you include that information?

I've won ears and a lanyard, and yes, I included date of birth, as well as name, address, and telephone number.

I am still sending in 3 post cards a day about 3 times a week. I have been sending them in since the begining of April but hav not won anything yet.

It's been a bit hectic around here lately, but I FINALLY won!!! (Or, my DH and daughter did, I should say) One pair of ears and a couple of lanyards!!! HIP HIP HIP!!!

 

[lovehoney]

We won two sets of lanyards today! DS3 and I won.

We won 3 sets of ears before our trip in May.

Tomorrow we are sending the Dream Squad a thank you letter. I had the boys draw a picture of themselves wearing ears and lanyards with a big thank you.

Has anyone used regular postcards (not the ones from the post office)? I'm asking because I just recieved a bunch of postcards as an advertisement from a client, and I was hoping I could put them to good use. They have the client's logo on the front, but could I still put my info where people usually write a message, and then put the contest mailing adress where the address would go? Just curious, I'd like to put them to good use as opposed to taking up space in my drawers!

I don't see why you couldn't use them.

I have been using regular post cards since it started and never had any troubles. That is until last week when I got 6 post cards (I send out 4 a day - one for each member of the family) returned in the mail. They said that they needed additional postage because of the size. I have sent more and not gotten them back so maybe it was a fluke. Don't know but I plan to continue sending them the same way.

We made our own postcards.

I was wondering if any of the winners could tell me how many they sent before they received a prize. We just started sending the cards last month and we are going 9/15. I wonder what the odds are that we might win something before then. Winning at a park would be fine too! Just curious.

I send postcards most days, but not all. So far I've won two pairs of WDW Dream ears.

Ears, pins and lanyards are nice...but I'd really love one of those "big" prizes!

 

[not-too-old4fun]

I got a call today! I won a pin and lanyard set!!!! I've only mailed out 2 postcards so far so I was completely pleasantly surprised.

a little nervous when I was told I had to do the skill test.

It wasn't that hard but when you are nervous... it can be funny. I'm just glad I managed to make it through and got the answers right.


I'm anxious to see the prize now. Apparently it'll take 6 to 8 weeks.

I'd love the big prize too though. *keeps wishing*

I started sending postcards in October - not every day, but several times a week. I won a lanyard in January. Then ears in April. Then another lanyard in May.

So yes, it's very possible that you could win something before September! Good Luck!

Each of my twin boys received lanyards (Disneyland) & pins today! They were very excited. Now I want one too!!!!

 

[Mickey1122]

I won a set of ears a day or two ago!! They were WDW ones, and it's interesting because the last time I sent in a post card was early March!!!!!

 

[mmtwinmama]

I started sending in postcards in March (4 almost every day) and had my first win a couple of days ago. We won 2 lanyards/pins.

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

I started sending in the begining of April and I just sent off the last of the 100 postcards I bought. If I don't see anything in the next few months I will probably try again at the end of the year with 100 more.

This is my plan as well! I've sent in over 100 since the contest started and have won one lanyard. I don't really want the ears...just another lanyard so both my kids will have one. I sure wish someone would report in that they won something other than the two items mentioned.

Hi all, just thought I would share had to go the post office today (missed the mailman yesterday and he left a card that I had to pick something up that was certified), went this morning and I won a set of the pins on the laynard, I got home, (missed the mailman again), and found my daughter has a card that she needs to take to the post office to pick something up. I guess I will be off to the post office again tomorrow. To date we have won 5 pairs of ears and 2 laynards (not sure what she won yet). We now have laynards from both disney world and disney land as well as ears from both places. I have been sending in post cards since it started (3 to 4 a day). Not sure if anyone has won anything else besides the ears or the laynards, would love to hear. Will let you all know what my daughter won, once I get to the post office tomorrow. Sending pixies dust to everyone, hope all your dreams come true.

Are people still winning using labels vs. handwriting everything? I couldn't stand it and bought some more postcards and already had a bunch of labels printed from before but won't use them if my chances would be better writing everything out.

The postman just delivered 3 sets of YOMD ears - two for me and one for DH!! We've now won a total of 5 sets of WDW ears and two DL lanyard sets.

Still waiting for that DVC prize!!
