This is the way I figure it ... I can afford a week's stay in a moderate. It's something I can (and do) attain. But the Castle Suite?? That's something that very few people will ever experience. Even if they do decide to rent it out after the celebration is over it'll go for what? $5,000 a night? $10,000? I can't afford that! I'd pick the suite. Definitely.

By the way, your children are just beautiful!!!!

Hey, you never know! We didn't expect to win anything, but look what happened! Anything is possible in Disney!

And thank you for the compliment about the kids ... I'm kinda partial to them myself.

I am so happy for you and your family! The joy is so clear on all of your faces. What a wonderful memory.

Congratulations, Ian, and thanks for sharing the pictures!

Sounds like you lived a dream, and the suite lived up to any expectations.

Ian, I'm so happy for you and your family! It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

Hmmm ... I bet I could find a lot of people who would dispute that, but thanks anyway!!

Sorry to say I agree with disneydeb, it is great when a nice guy wins.

WOW!! It is so fantastic that someone won who could really appreciate the night in the Castle. Ian, did you tell anyone from Disney about Intercot?

Thank you so much for letting us live vicariously through your beautiful family! The pictures were great! (And I can't believe I almost missed this - I don't read the Trip Reports very often.)

Actually, I wore my INTERCOT shirt on check out day.

The Guest Relations CM that drove us back to Pop noticed it and told me he's been on our boards before.

Disney thinks very highly of INTERCOT in general. Everytime I mention it to anyone I always get a very positive response.

Ian -

CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so totally cool. As a dad, what a great experience to share not only with your wife, but also with your children. It is so great that you got so many wonderful pictures because while your kids may not remember the trip as they get older, you will always have the pictures to show them and all of your memories of the trip to share with them as well!

I went and saw a new customer of mine the other day and he told me that he and his family just won a night in the Mickey Suite at DLR. They had an awesome time as well! He told me all about the suite there and the wonderful service they got.

Congrats again and thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

congrats!!! Loved the pictures and your story. I hope it was just as wonderful as it sounds. Congrats again!!!!!

I'm filled with an odd mixture of joy and jealousy....

It's always a wonderful thing when great things happen to great people.

Congrats, to you and your loved ones....

Hmm... somehow the room I had in the Smoky Mountains with the wonderful view of the mountains doesn't seem as special now.

CONGRATS to the Wacky family! That really is so cool and as others have said - it's GREAT to hear that 'one of our own' has won such a HUGE prize in this promo! Thanks for sharing the report and pics Ian! Again - CONGRATS!!!!

**Ian** · 05-07-2007, 09:52 AM

Thanks to everyone for all the great responses!

I would love it if someone else from INTERCOT won!! We all need to keep the pixie dust flowing around here so that the Good Karma Fairy is kind to other folks from our family!!
