OFFICIAL RULES
http://disney.go.com/memories/rules.html

According to the official rules, Paris and Hong Kong are the only options for outside the US. While I would like to go to Disneyland Paris, I want to go to Tokyo first but it isn't an option...

According to the official rules, one cannot take part in it while living outside the US
Not that it would surprise me because that's almost always the case, but I'd hoped for some chance to win a trip, too

You could try suing them for location discrimination

Sorry, but they're allowed to restrict geographically. As long as it is stated upfront in the official rules, you have no grounds. They restrict according to age usually (the "must be 18 years old or older" clause) and haved stated so in the rules before, and there's no grounds for age discrimination there. Restrictions sometimes have to deal with the ability to legally enter into a contract deal if you win.

Wait, if it says worldwide wouldn't that include Paris and Tokyo?

You would think, but the official rules do not include them as options

Wow, what a bummer. What I'd kill to go to either one of those..

Paris is an option but Tokyo is not. It isn't owned by Disney but the Oriental Land Company, who pays to use the Disney name/copyright. Did you know that even WDW/DLR CMs (don't know about the foreign parks) have to pay to get in to Tokyo when they can use their company IDs to get into all the other resorts for free?

Many people do forget that TDL is OLC and not Disney. Unlike China, Japan would not relax its laws about foreign companies being able to own land in its country. TDL is not a subsidiary of Disney but Franchise Revenue in its financial statements. Disney has no owership interest, but as the Franchise owner does retain certain rights over the franchise.

And Disney doesn't foot the bill. Which is why they get a lot better attractions. OLC is willing to spend money to make money. Hint, hint TDO!!!!!

Ohhh, I gotcha. Still would have been nice to see it but at least Paris is an option.
