    So Ian, still think the YOAMD is the most boring promotion ever???

    I'm SO happy your family won, though! I enjoyed reading about it and can't wait to see the pictures.

    Ahh! Thanks so much for the report! I'm so excited to see the pictures. I've been telling every Disney fan that I know all about how "a family from Intercot, the online community that I'm a member of, won a stay in Cindy's castle!!"

    I'm so happy for you and your family. What an experience that must have been! I bet you couldn't come down from cloud 9 for quite a while. What a change you had to go back to... Cindy's castle to Pop! haha. I'd love to hear about what its like when its time to go the next morning. That's one thing I haven't heard much about anywhere.

    Congrats again!!!!

    I was ragging on him about that, too! That, and the fact that he won it at the Animal Kingdom, which we all know is Ian's most favorite park in all of the World. Ah the irony!

    I have also noticed over the years on Intercot that AK is his least favorite park. I wonder if it gets bumped up now? I think it should at least warrent third place!

    Thanks Ian for the pictures!! How amazing!!!! I can't believe one of our own stayed in Cindy's castle. Somehow, as weird as it sounds, it makes me that much more proud to be an Intercotee....

    Thank you for sharing the pictures of your magical day Ian! It almost made me like I was there. Your family and the castle suite are beautiful - Taylor looks like she played the part of little Princess to the hilt! And I guess you're going to be eating a little crow along with that prime rib - maybe it's not such a lame promotion now, huh?

    Wow! That is awesome! I was actually there during that time and it is good to see that people actually win! I did not really see any "dream team" action and I guess I was expecting to.

    Congratulations!

    Too cool. Congrats.

    My question is what was it like in the morning when you woke up? Could you get out in the park before they opened?

    How totally, incredibly, amazingly awesome! I could keep posting on how cool this is - but I would soon run out of space.

    Thanks for sharing your experience with the rest of us.
