Do you have to be there for a chance to win?

babets · 01-21-2007

I was just wondering if you have to be present in a park OR could you mail in a form for a chance to win?

**DisneyTeacher** · 01-21-2007

I have read the fine print at the bottom of one of the commercials and it says the night at the castle is only awarded at the parks and you have to stay the night it's awarded. A lot of the prizes are Fastpasses so I'm sure you have to be there to win those because they are good for that day.

Wow I did not know that you have to stay the night it is awarded!

What if they offer it to you, but you're scheduled to leave that evening?? That would be horrible!

**DisneyTeacher** · 01-21-2007

I'd change my plans in an instant! I'll check the fine print again but I'm pretty sure that's what I read.

Yeah I think I would forfeit my flight if I had to, and spend the extra $$ to find a different flight back! Whatever it took...

if that were to ever happen to us, i know rob would have to go to the nearest computer and rebook our flights because he would know he would hear about it for the rest of his life if we miss out on that wonderful opportunity.

I found this on the Disney site:

mail in entries postmarked starting September 18, 2006 & received by January 14, 2008 on 3.5 x 5 postcard with complete name, address, daytime phone#, birth date and proper postage sent to PO Box 8629, Elmhurst, IL 60126 USA.

DREAM FASTPASS badge is only awarded at certain theme parks for use that day. Mail-in winners of Castle Suite stay and DREAM FASTPASS badge will receive a prize of comparable value. Approximate retail value of prizes advertised: Castle Suite stay US $587, DREAM FASTPASS badge US $5, Grand Marshal World Tour US $45,370. Prizes range in value from US $3.83 to US $83,701.

Wow, I wonder which prize is worth $83,701??

It's so sad to think that someone could win the castle suite stay via mail-in entry, and get a prize worth $587 instead. I think that opportunity should be labeled "priceless"!

Wouldn't it be nice to win the dvc package?Of Course,I would still be excited to get even the mouse-ears.I guess Thursday we will see the first people staying in Cinderellas suite..lucky ducks...

I know, I think that would be one time I would be upset to win a prize.

I actually mailed in some postcards in all of our names. That would be 6 per day for about a week and a few weeks ago my 8 year old Daughter got a Lanyard with 2 pretty cool "Year of a Million Dreams" pins on it.

babets · 01-24-2007

That is so nice that your daughter received a lanyard with pins. I didn't realize of the prizes was a 14 day trip to vist all the Disney Resorts in the world. Could you imagine...

Erin · 01-25-2007

OH, that's cool that you mailed in your name. I think I'll do that tomorrow!!

babets · 02-03-2007

Can you enter this sweepstakes at Disney Parks | Where Dreams Come True I click and there is a box that says "Enter Sweepstakes", so I enter everyday. I assume its the same YOMD sweepstakes.
