Hoping, though not couting on, something like this to happen when I go Disneyland in July and Walt Disney World in August. Then again, who wouldn't want something like this to happen to them?

I got a dream fastpass and felt great about it. Couldn't use any of the tabs, but kept the intact thing as a souvenier.

Interesting points about there being no real promotion outside of the Disney fandom area. I wonder how I'd feel about it if I didn't know about the prizes and was tapped for one of the biggies.

Haven't been paying attention like I should have. Anyone know if any of the biggies are left. I guess they can give away castle stays until the end of the promo, but what about DVC memberships or cruises or the like?

Okay... just watched the video above. So at least one guy won the DVC membership. Good for him! Glad to see that they're doing this kind of thing. It really doesn't cost them that much. In fact, based on what I've heard from other DVC members, the good word of mouth is well worth whatever the cost of the free membership is. But I still wonder if there's any other big prizes still to win. Might give me some hope as I hang out in DTD this weekend.

Since I started this thread, I thought that I would post that my daughter won two more of the same Tinkerbell pins on our trip to WDW. One was marked "To Keep" and one was marked "To Give Away". She watched all week for someone to give the other one to and finally gave it to a little girl that looked like she was having a hard day. I was proud of her. Many kids would have kept both.

It sounds like they're doing an interesting job of selecting which families get prizes, put it sounds like they're picking ones that will be able to enjoy the prize, which is great! I can't wait to at least see someone get a prize, that will be fun!

I am proud of you as a parent for instilling the give to your kid(s) I thank you. I try to do the same with my kids and it is good to see that she realized she didn't need 2 of the same pins.

Great job and keep up the great work.

That is really cool that they give out pins marked to keep and to give away. That's a very cool twist to the promotion, and makes it even more enjoyable, I think. Of course, I also agree with eagle4life :)

Some people in the group that I went with this past week, won some princess temporary tattoos. It was...cute.

For what its worth, they also have a 'no purchase necessary' option for those of us who havent been able to get to the parks yet this year.......by mailing in postcards your entered into a daily drawing. I've gotten 2 of the lanyards, with the special yom pins. And for this Disney fan, it was just as exciting as getting one from the DS at the parks. :D :ccat: :hatter_bounce:
