so how will this May 4th AP contest work?

[skoolpsyk]

there will be 2,500 winners, each can take one guest. Looks like I have pretty good odds since both me and my wife are registered (with no kids).
So if all APs are not registered my odds get even better.
But I noticed today that you must be 18 or over....great! Increases my odds even more! ....or does it?
Do you think the 2500 are just sent at random and if you happen to be under 18 that's too bad? Also, the tickets are suppossedly non-transferable--how will they handle that?
If an AP wins and can't go due to distance or whatever, will they give someone else a chance or just send them the alternate prize?
I wonder how many of the 2500 are actually going to be able to go!

Any ideas on how this whole thing will work?

I kinda read the official rules of the contest, so I'll try and answer according to what I understand from it.

You must be registered online at disneyland.com/ap in order to be chosen. Only those AP holders that are over 18 may register online, therefore noone under 18 will be chosen. If contacted, but cannot go, they MAY or MAY NOT choose an alternate winner. (there was conflicting info on that in the official rules). I'm pretty sure if you win, they will print your name on your ticket/admission stub so that noone else can use it. You probably would have to show your Annual Pass as well.

Woo Hoo my chances are better then I thought. Glad somebody reads the fine print.

I'm 17 and I'm registered online... If they pick me and I can't go I'll be so devestated. What if the person I took is over 18? Does that count?? haha...

Gosh, and I turn 18 on June 3... talk about a tough break

I'm 17 as well, I'll seriously be terribly sad if I get picked then can't go.

I spoke with someone who works the AP center. You do not have to register on line. It would be eaiser if you did ... but if you cannot get to a computer there is antoher way! If Disneyland has your e-mail address on file (ex: you gave it to them when you first got your AP and so they have it on file) then you are automaticaly entered into the contest! If you are not sure and you still cannot get to an computer A) HOW ARE YOU READING THIS GO REGISTER NOW B) Go to the AP Center and tell the cast member behind the computer your e-mail address and then you are SET!

What, no one has heard? The contest is cancelled! No need for anyone else to sign up and register. No need to tell your friends and family to sign up. It's all over folks. Move on, nothing to see here...

Ya I heard it was cancelled too.

[GeneralShang]

HAHAHAHA.

What a shame........

[skoolpsyk]

I just know that if I don't win and have to read all the hundreds and hundreds of posts of those who did win--I'm going to be sick to my stomach...

[disneyking]

Dang... what's this contest even about???? I haven't heard anything about it

[Uncle Remus]

Im 17 but I will be 18 in April 15th so if they pick me I will be over 18... hee hee hee.

[Malibu Minion]

What, it was cancelled? No!!!

[cellarhound]

If the contest is off, they need to take it off their website... Other wise they can be sued for fraud...

[cellarhound]

Ahh, Yes... Right.... Idiot...

[Malibu Minion]

Dude. you are evil :devil: . I mean that in the best possible way, of course...

[cellarhound]

:confused:

The contest is going on... He just claimed that it was cancelled to make certain no body would register...

I didn't see that it was an obvious ploy... So I feel like a dork... But I am trying to be cool about it...

For everyone that is 17 and will be destroyed if you get picked.....don't worry about it everything is on computer, it is not like they are going to draw everyones name out of a big hat. The computer will figure who is 18 and over and randomly pick how every many people from that. Also a bit of the info for the 4th you will not be in the park all day it will just be a few hours I would guess later afternoon to around 10 or so. You will get the chance to see all the "changes" to the attractions and then see PoD and R...DCT then that will be it.

For anyone that has never been to a press event it is really neat till you try to walk someplace and get "escorted" back to the noraml area. You are heared around like sheep and watched over at all times. I would love to go to the event but I will just wait for the next day when all the stars and ribbion cuttings will happen.
