Re: entering via postcard

I found this posted in another thread:

Send your handwritten postcard to:

PO Box 8629
Elmhurst, IL 60126

On the other side make sure to handwrite:
Name
Address
Birth Date
Telephone Number

Re: entering via postcard

The postcard mail in rules still have December 31, 2007 as their last day. I know the in park stuff is extended but they haven't yet made it official for the write-in stuff. I checked the Disney website regarding this.

Re: entering via postcard

Here's a little trick instead of hand writing each card. If you have a scanner, write your info on a blank white sheet of paper with a pen of your choice of color. Scan the paper, and using whatever photoshop type of program you use, remove the background with the smart erase tool. Then simply print your hand written information on the back. Don't forget that the post office will not accept a 3 X 5 card. I believe it has to be at least 3.5 X 5.5. I used a 4 X 6 note card stock to be safe. I sent out 100 cards that way, and have one three things (see my post about postage due prizes).

Re: entering via postcard

I'm not sure if it is or not. The link for the contest rules is:

YOMD Rules and Regulations

I hope this helps everyone out.....:)

Did you sent out all 100 at once? The rules say one entry per day...so I'm not sure if I can only put one card in the mail a day (to get 1 card postmarked per day). I got 25 cards, filled them out and they're ready to go. I mailed a few out already but am not sure if they get 5 of mine at once if they're throw out 4 and only put 1 in the pool.

Re: entering via postcard

I sent out four or five a day. I won three times, so I don't think it matters, but, I didn't want to send all 100 in a day because of what the rules stated either.

Re: entering via postcard

OK, this might sound like a silly question but I just realized that all my postcards are 4"x6" and the "YoaMD Rules and Regulations" states they must be on a 3.5x5" postcard. Are my standard 4x6's going to be disqualified?

All of the postcards I am finding seem to be 4x6
