Disneyland's "AP contest"

[PNOKIO]

Are there any Annual Passholders out there who entered Disneyland's AP contest drawing for admission into DL on May 4th? I entered but don't know if I've won or where to go online to check the list of winners. Any help? Thanks.

I haven't seen a winner's list on the website yet. Not sure if there will even be a winner's list. Winners are to be notified on or around the 19th (today). So maybe we will know today and maybe we won't. Is that ambiguous enough for ya?

It says on the site you can write for a list of winners April 30th

i Am Still Waiting For My Phone Call!

no list, i'm still waiting too

I'm waiting to hear a response, but in the rules, it says you have to "be in good standing as of February 28, 2005." But I didn't buy my pass until March 18!! I would be really upset if I was excluded because of this.

Plus, no one else I know signed up. My roommate did, but she's under eighteen, so it's not like it really matters there.

I am still waiting too! I hope I am one of the 2,500!

Did we win?

Let's do some math here. There are only 2500 AP holders getting to go. There are over 600,000 AP holders. Even counting on the fact that not all of them registered for the contest, the odds of being a winner are still pretty low. Now we have to hope that one of the winners is also registered to chat on Micechat and logs in to check the boards. As there are less than 2000 registered Mice Chatters... well you get the idea. We may just not know anyone who won. I hope I am proved wrong and all of us are winners with an email coming any moment.

I promise to post if I win as soon as I can.

Yeah, but you can also leave out the ones under 18. A lot of minors have APs.

Considering if that drops the amount to 500,000 APs, then that's a 1/200 chance of winning. Since my honey also has an AP, then we have a 1/100 chance. Not too bad.

I've got hope for this one. I'm betting at least a few people from MiceChat will win.

I hope so too- it would be such an awesome experience and I am keeping my fingers crossed for all our fabulous california micechatters!

I think it would have been neat if they sent us a golden invitation in the mail instead. Emails are so unmagical.

Plus, what if there's a glitch and the email gets bounced back to Disney? What if you have your junk mail filters set too high?

Finally someone posted about this! I thought about it, but was too afraid that I would post and get so many replies saying, "Yeah, I already got my emial saying I won." That of course would mean that I didn't, depressing me seriously to no end. I have everything crossed that I could possibly cross. It's so sad, but I got my boyfriends permission to check his email too because he's entered the contest.

Oh, you'll get a package alright. I don't know if they're using FedEx or UPS, but the packages were assembled at the GCH. So don't worry, you'll get physical and eletronic confirmation! What I think is a great touch is a replica of the original invitation sent out to folks to attend the opening of Disneyland.

Edited to add: the bit about the invitation is what I've heard but not 100% confirmed as seen (I can't remember if I was told the person saw them); but for sure the person saw the assemblage of packages.

Pearl, you're teasing me! Stupid "on or around!" I'm gonna go check my email again!

[dramaqueen]

well, in my experience, residential packages like that come in the late afternoon...................

I just talked with Disneyland Guest Relations {714-781-7290} and they say that The contest people are behind schedule and that we won't know until maybe Friday or Monday. So just hold your horses and if you want, call periodically and find out if and when they will annouce the winners.

[dramaqueen]

Wow- way to take the initiative! Thanks for the info nsx

[nsxdrift_89]

You're welcome

[Dr. Earkid]

Is is just me or is this waiting thing getting almost painful.

I HAVE WON!

I am so happy I can't wait!
