Great link, thanks!

Anyone else catch that the value for a night in the castle suite is only $587.00 for you and five other people including dinner at Cinderella's table. This either means that after the year of dreams when they rent out the Cinderella bedroom it will be around $550 a night, or (more likely) they haven't decided on a price yet so are only giving the prize a value based on dinner for 5. Also there are 307 chances to win that prize. Meaning it'll be a different family almost every night of the year.

The odds of winning are slim to none! I know there is a million prizes, but there is only so many prizes per day. And think about it there is how many parks! I don't know how long this celebration is going to last but you have to spread out those prizes for those days and parks!

In all honestly the 17.5 million for this promotion is not a whole lot for the company. Think about how much they spent on the HCOE campaign. I am sure if you totaled everything up it was well over the 17.5 million. I do not believe that these prizes will have any affect on new rides and refurbs. Just my opinion though.

I think I'm going to send one postcard in each week....what's to loose. I bet I'll forget often but you never know. I might as waste postage on something like this versus buying something at a store which I'll use rarely.

Good luck people, maybe one of us will win something big.

Yep, you're the only one! :p

I'll take one of those big prizes any day over a ride rehab. But then $17.5 million is a drop in the bucket for a company like Disney.

Of course, it won't actually cost them that much money. They own most of the features included in the prizes.

(Completely unrelated, 500th post, half way to a senior member!)

I think that is a good point, but I think that is intentional. This is not a mega-celebration. HCOE was very large. They need smaller scale, "cheaper" events now (since they are on this perpetual event kick). I'll be interested to see how it all works out.

I'm kinda disappointed in the FP prizes, one-time on each FP ride? I was hoping for a good-all-day FP with unlimited uses... Oh well, I wouldn't say no!

I would love to understand how they came up with some of the numbers on this prize list. For instance, with the Dream FastPasses, how come all 3 parks other than Epcot will give out over 97K of them while Epcot only gets just over 57K? :veryconfu

And I find it funny that they have the value some of these things listed at $5. Hey, sign me up to buy FP's for $5. :drevil: (Just kidding - I understand that those figures are for each individual prize out of thousands.)
