Hey hey, good picture...
Congrats to the OP! NowI know how to tell a certain someone WHY we can't stay in Cinderella's castle... I didn't know it was a random give-away. I figured it was a "Pay us tons of money and pray we have dates for you" kinda thing.
I do have a question about the selection process however, and I apologize if any of this was discussed up thread. Do they just pick people at random? Do they select ticket numbers based off of who comes to the park in the morning? Or (this is what I presume...) do they pick from people who are staying on property and their ticket comes up as being in the MK that day? We're staying off property because my folks own a condo in Kissemmee, but I'm starting to feel like even FREE accomidations are a rip-off, because we're missing out on so much.
I was told by the dream team that there is a computer that randomly selects the winning location for the suite for the next day the night before. The results are then put in a safe til the next morning and is opened by a specific assigned member of the DT. The prize is then awarded to the lucky person. If they decline or can't do it, the computer randomly selects another time/location. We won on the Jungle Cruise cause my MIL was sitting in the "right" seat at the "right" time. So it dosen't matter where you are staying (on or off site) just if you are in the parks.

Hey Beth! I "know" you from 2peas (I'msarahp) and I was wondering if you had posted your story over here!
I am still so excited for you!
We are going in September and I have my fingers crossed! I have 2 girls (7 and 10) and they would just about lose control if we got to stay there!
Thanks for sharing it here too! I love reading your story!
