Year of a Million Dreams - The Non Winners thread

[duckie fan]

So I am not sure how many times I went during the promotion....I do know I went at least 4 times at gate opening and stayed the whole day..........and I (and my party) won nothing. Only one time in the distance did I see the Prize Team.

Boo Hoo. But it is nice to stop fantasizing that I am going to win the Dream Suite!

I'm not the only non-winner, am I? (I refuse to use the "L" word, no one loses at the Happiest Place!)

I have won plenty of prizes, and expect to win a few more, as I have been entering by mail, Wednesday was the last postcards I sent off (Expected delivery of prizes for December's prizes for mail-in winners - March 2009).

Just Dream Ears and Pin Lanyards (mostly Dream Ears), but maybe I will get lucky in the last few months....

Also won quite a few things in the park, including a free PhotoPass photo, special After Hour Party passes, Dream Fastpasses, Dream Ears and Pin Lanyards.

But it will be nice that when I go to the park on my BD in February, I am a guaranteed winner of a Birthday Fun Card for merchandise of my choosing.

^^Didn't he just say this was for the non-winners?


Count me in - I went I don't know how many times and won NOTHING!!!

[AaronInCal]

I didn't win anything either. Probably didn't help that I usually went to the Parks later in the day.. Oh well. Like I needed a Dream Hat to toss in the corner....

I never got diddly at WDW that i recall.

I won stuff at DL - ears and lanyards.

[sweeper]

Nothing. But I still have a free popcorn ticket from the 35th promotion where EVERYONE won something!

I won't say whether or not I won something because gloating is not nice, but I will say I saw a lot of winners who looked handicapped in some way. I'm not saying necessarily I think that the Dream Team took pity on those people (although at the time I was cranky and thought that might be the case), but I think it was that those people tended to take their time doing anything.

For instance, I saw them give away Dream Fastpasses to a family sitting on a bench in DCA, and then I saw them give away Ears to people coming off the Monorail going into Downtown Disney. I would consider both activities to be leisurely; it's like they targeted people who were taking a break in some way.

That's just how it seemed to me, though. I could be wrong.

The key was getting to the parks early. Almost every time I won something it was before noon and usually within an hour or 2 of the parks opening. But now it's over. Onward and upward. Maybe they will sell surplus YOAMD stuff at the DCW.

I've only gone like twice during it's run.
Blah, pretty sad but I don't mind not winning.

However, my older sister is a AP and has been there numerous times, won nothing. Oh well.
