Almost like a kick to the gut
Ok, I opened up my email inbox and my heart almost dropped...
There was an email with the Subject line "November Dreams come true for the Ingraham Family!" Now, when I signed up for YOMD, the dream I picked was for us to win a DVC membership. When I saw this email I was all set to call DW and then post here thinking we had actually won, but instead, the email message is that I can get a magical rate of $268 per person for 3 day/3 night at a Value Resort plus theme park tickets for the Value season after Thanksgiving. WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! We are SP holders and we already have reservations for December!!! What a complete letdown! I feel so deflated  Mind you, I am not really upset but they sure got my hopes up and dashed them in a hurry AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Almost like a kick to the gut

speaking of the DVC prizes, has anyone won one of them yet?

Re: Almost like a kick to the gut
UGH! I would have been the same way! I had something cool come in from Disney Cruise line once that made me feel like I won something and it was just trying to get me to book a cruise again!
