Disneyland's "AP contest" non-winners support group thread

[Bass Shakers]

Here is a thread for -- let's not say the "losers", but just "those of us who didn't win" the Annual Passholder contest to be in the park on May 4th and be the first to see all the new shows and parades and decorations, and hobnob with celebrities...and generally have the best time ever.. ahh. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm verily bummed that I won't be taking part, and admittedly envious of those who will be.

So here's a place where we can buck each other up, pat each other on the back, shed a tear or two and try to find the silver lining. We'll support each other and we will get through this. May 5th is just the very next day.

By all means, be happy and congratulatory for our lucky friends! I know I am. I won't get caught up in self-pity. But I may need some encouragement.

Especially on the 4th of May, while some of our fellow Micechatters are toasting Disneyland's 50th (albeit a bit early), the rest of us may congregate here, so that none of us is alone. We can bite our nails and wait for the first pictures to come in.

So if you've given up on refreshing your Inbox, hoping that the elusive golden ticket was simply waylaid on its journey to you, and have accepted that this just wasn't your bar of chocolate, come here, share your feelings, and "cheer up, Charlie."

LOL what a cool idea for a thread!

I'm deserving of a May 4th ticket so why don't I get to go? Did I not smile enough during my last Disneyland visit? Did the Big Bad Wolf get mad at me for running away from him? I don't know. All I know is that I haven't gotten invited.

If anyone who did get invited but doesn't really want to go - well have no fear. I'm willing to bear the responsibility and go in your place. I know it's a big responsibility but, well you know, anything to help out a fellow Disney nut!

Funny you should mention the 'golden ticket' and 'chocolate'...my co-workers and I were using the same analogy yesterday!!!!! God love Willie Wonka.....

Who knows, maybe they will announce some winners who forged/hoaxed their winning and some of us will get lucky.!!!

I will now carefully pull back my chocolate label....is that gold I see??? LOL...

Me Too

Hi there!

This is my first post!!

But I totally agree! I was not totally bummed because I didnt win. But I had a back up plan!!

I am married to a cast member!! Starting the end of April there will be cast previews of the new parade and fireworks.

HOWEVER...we were told that family would NOT be included this time.

NOW...IM OFFICALLY BUMMED!!

Oh well....

YYAAYY, my first post!!!

[Fishbulb]

I am swinging from denile to anger to sadness to determination to find another way in:devil: to who cares I gotta work anyway.

Someone get me to the park or at least forward in time to May 5 so I just don't give a darn anymore.

I'm bummed because I didn't get an invite...I hope....My e-mail spam filter is in overdrive and I didn't actually check the e-mails before clearing it out, then 5 minutes later I start seeing that people had been notified by e-mail earlier in the day...UGH!

[melmel]

I wasn't applicable because I got my AP after February 28, 2005.

[robotpirates]

I wish I had the money for an AP. *cries*

[ganggreen4jc]

I DIDN'T WIN??

Excuse me, I need to go now. Where'd I put that sharp knife?

[melmel]

I wish I had the money for an AP. *cries*

I practically had my Deluxe AP given to me, thanks to a loophole in the system. I only paid $149, with parking!

We bought our AP's too late.
But We will be there May 8, all week, and July 18-22. That is making me extremely happy...

[mickhyperion]

[Disneyphile]

Here, lemme bring some cheese to go with our w(h)ine.

Personally, I like a nice aged cheddar.......

[ni_teach]

I didn't win either

Welcome to the boards "NeverGrow Up"

[tigger001]

We didn't win either, but I can wait one more day. They are going to kick everyone out of the park at 5 pm on the 4th anyway. As far as I know, they are going to run the fireworks for the first time on the 5th, so are we REALLY missing anything? What's one day??? Every radio station from Los Angeles to San Diego is giving away tickets for that day, so your chances aren't completely lost.

[dshimel]

Yes, I knew there was only a 1% chance of winning, or something....

But that is more than 1 million times better odds than the thance of winning Power Ball jackpot on any given ticket... (.00000008% chance)

Heck, any thing that is a million times more likely than something else is practically a sure thing.... right? I was a shoe in to win..... no?

I was robbed. I demand a recount.... I'm appealing to the supreme court.... I'm writing my congressmen to see if I can get a special law passed transferring this to federal court.....

This sucks...
