starting on October 1, 2006 and ending on December 31, 2007

That doesn't Jive with the legal mumbo jumbo, and of course the Title of the page. Ah to be in the room when the person who wrote it realizes it........

You're referring to the dates, I imagine...

jcodirewolf · Post by **jcodirewolf** » Sep Thu 13, 2007 9:14 pm

I have to say I noticed that. But the first thing I noticed was the dates you could send postcards.

All eligible mail-in entries will be bundled and bagged on the date received, except that eligible mail-in entries received between September 18, 2006 and September 30, 2006 will be deemed to have been received on October 1, 2006 and mail-in entries received between December 31, 2007 and January 14, 2008 will be deemed to have been received on December 31, 2007.

Then I zoomed down to the prize section.

Three (3) Disney Cruise LineÂ® 10-night Mediterranean Cruise prizes are available:
...
Cruise must be taken between June 6, 2007 and August 19, 2007

AH HA!! I knew I wasn't reading close enough. Still I would love to be in that room.

I did move around the page a little so I wasn't paying too much attention.

edit: I'm loving this though:

For a copy of these Official Rules, go online to www.disneyparks.com/rules,

It just takes you to the 2007 rules page which reading it is exactly the same.........thats how they got these rules, they must have just copied and pasted.......heck I could have done that for half the price they were charged to do it!!!

I tend not to fully read the official rules and regulations as alot of it seems like legal mumbo-jumbo. so, I wasn;t looking too closely, but did notice the dates in the first paragraph...

I tend to read the rules to contests a lot. Because I figure out the "pot odds" of them before I spend time/money entering them. YoaMDs is one of the few I'm willing to spend time/money entering, and funny enough I'm about even (based on their prize values.)

Most of the time the prizes aren't worth the time to enter, based on the math.

I'll read a paragraph at a time because I tend to get a bit sleepy when I read them. I guess that is why I'm not a lawyer.

I'm up to section 3 paragraph b.

Section 3 Paragraph b. I won't spoil the ending for you... but you won't believe what happens in the next section. I was on the edge of my chair the whole time.
