Wish me luck - I'm trying to win!

I wanted to win the lottery, but that didn't work out.  Something about having to buy a ticket first.  Details!

Since that didn't pan out, I'm trying to win a contest that will give us two free tickets to Disneyland.  Wouldn't it be fun to take someone along who never gets to go?  Or go on a weekend when we are always blocked out?  I think so!  I entered to win a 2 day ticket worth $99.  Wish me luck!

I had some trouble understanding the rules though.  It says to identify the 5 new features, which are written on signs next to Mickey Mouse.  There are five of them.  But did I do that?  Nooooo...  I thought it said to identify everything.  There are 99 tiny video snippets and I was trying to name the characters, rides, exact locations of the photos... it was hard but I had 3/4ths of it!

And then I reread the rules, just to make sure I was identifying each of the 99 things in the right way.  That's when I figured out I didn't need to identify all 99 clips.  Oh Lordy.  How embarrassing! I quickly deleted everything except for hat it said on the 5 Mickey Mouse signs and hit send.  

The contest lasted for 90 minutes, ending at 6:30 and I sent my entry in at 6:20. The first 99 correct responses win. I have a Fat chance.  Actually, not a fat chance, pretty slim.  But, hey, if they offer a bonus for identifying all 99 scenes,  I might throw my hat in the ring for it! I only have a few I couldn't place (which is odd because I can't take the little kids on most of the rides).

It was fun anyway.  I had a whole hour of fun with the Disney quiz.  Since it was fun, I challenge you to do it too!  No fair cheating either!  Well, ok, some cheating, just don't overdo it.
