I`ve entered too and our boys are 17 and 16. I`m sure if anyone wins who has kids over the age of 12, then they`d be allowed to keep the prize as long as they paid the difference in flights for the kids. :-)

[Stu]

Hi,
This is the reply I have received from Busch re the competition and children over 12 years old

If guests have children over 12 or extra travelers, they would just need to pay the difference between whatever the cost would be for 2 adults and 2 children under 12.

[matty]

I love the scroll effect in the corner!

simple things....

[PrincessX2]

Have gave it a go and i do have 2 under 12s,lol:) Good luck everyone:D

YW Wendy......good luck

[*Yvonne*]

I have just entered, I am from MSE & wouldn't have found this site without it. We are going to Orlando next week & will happily put reviews on the holiday, theme parks, dining out etc when we come back. Yes I came to just enter the comp but the site looks fab, just wish I had found it sooner. When we get back from holiday I will be back :grin:

[JulesAyr]

i can see a sudden influx of non dibbers signing up just to get free entry to the comp,yes it would push member numbers up but totally for the wrong reason

I was just thinking this - I give it a matter of days before its listed on the competition websites. It would be nice to see it go to a Dibber.

Of course, it doesnt matter because the holidays mine - I'm a Dibb member and my children are both under 12 so that must be a sign that the competitions going to be won by me!!!!

Jules xx

[purpleprincess]

Have just entered, thanks stu.

Good Luck everyone

[baldybouncer]

I didnt notice the dates of the holiday - does anyone know when it is??

The reason being we cant go this year due to the boss being pregnant with our next mini-dibber! (due mid august)...

[Scotsmomma]

It has to be taken by May 31 2009.....and booked by September this year

[chris16sarah7]

Good luck everyone, how exciting!

[Carol_Ann]

Have just entered. Many thanks for the comp. I had an e-mail about it as I have not visited the site for a while, and I'm amazed to see that I haven't actually logged in since November 2003!! I have been reading posts though, although not too much as we haven't been to Florida since 2003.

However we are thinking of going later this year, so could become a regular poster. :cool2:

I am also a member of MSE, and this site is regularly mentioned as a good source of information, so don't be too hard on those who have registered for the competition.

There is also a very lively travel and trips forum on MSE, with a special thread for Orlando, so please take a virtual trip over there. You will be made to feel very welcome. :wavey:

[Drewlin]

Hi Just entered the comp and as our children are all adults would be taking my niece's youngest two, if we won, as they have had a horrible year and disney would be wonderful for them.

PS whats MSE?

Hi Carol,
I agree with you MSE is a good site and if the MSE members are coming here to enter the competition then they are more than welcome.

I'm sure many people on this site have used MSE at one time or another and we are often linked to on their forums.

We knew full well that the Holiday would be posted on other sites, but in our eyes although it might bring hundreds of new members just for the competition some of those will either be interested in our site or will pass on the details of our site to other people that are looking for a Disney/Florida site.

The competition serves two areas it highlights the Busch Entertainment Corporation theme parks which is why they are providing the prize and for the DIBB it hopefully highlights our site to people that didn't know about us.

[AlexD]

[dizzyc]

My very first experience of WDW was thanks to a competition win on a radio station (anyone remember Atlantic 252?!) I remember the day clearly even though it was way back in 1994. The competition ran from Monday to Friday and each day you could win CD's/video's etc then each daily winner went into a draw on the friday for a trip to Florida. I'd won on the Monday and had to wait all week to see if I would win. I was in my bedroom at my parents house, listening to the radio while I was getting ready for work - they said it was time to announce the winner & then they said my name!! I was SO shocked and couldn't quite believe it but then the phone rang and it was the DJ - He screamed that I'd won and I burst into tears!! I was so happy but I cried for some reason - he told me I was live on air & not to cry, when i got off the phone I was dying to tell someone but everyone else had already gone to school/work and we didn't have mobile phones in those days:d:

Later that day I got a call from a consultant to give me the prize details - I'd won two weeks in Florida, one week in Kissimee and one week in Miami flying with Virgin, a top of the range car for the fortnight, theme park tickets for Universal, Seaworld and Disney & £1000 spending money!! I took my boyfriend of 3 months (who became my husband and then ex-husband!) and we had the BEST time ever, it was amazing and the Virgin consultant tailor-made the holiday for us with no expense spared.

This time next week someone on here will feel the same excitement that I felt that day - I was on an absolute high for at least two weeks! I would like to wish everyone the best of luck even though I've probably got no chance of winning now I've told everyone I've already won one!!

[Kerri]

Just found out it has been drawn:blush:

Well done the winner:grin:
