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.
