Are you expecting to be chosen for a CM give-away when you visit WDW this year? If you don't..will you have dream envy? I am on my way to WDW for xmas again(last 4 years at this time and many more trips since becoming dvc in 1994) and have a few thoughts about the giveaways. I visited Disneyland in Calif in June of 1990 when they were celebrating the 35th (?) anniversary. They had a great way of give-aways. Every so number of guests entering turnstyles would be given a printout saying they won. Our first day we were winners of disney pin. On the second day, DH went thru turnstyle his ticket said he won a "trip to the prize machine". He was then escorted to a huge platform with a mechanical looking device that he pulled a trigger and it told him his prize. He had quite a crowd watching him and he won a nice disney watch. The prize delivery was random, but via # of guests entering(so every 16th or so say, won something). I really think this would alleviate some of this prize envy (I was there, but I didn't get picked by CM and others did). It doesn' allow the second guessing of was I at the wrong place at the wrong time...why didn't CM pick me? its just random numbers! I wonder why WDW didn't use a similar method that did not rely so heavily on CM's handing out. I am not anticipating any prizes..just being there at xmas is enough for me and my family.
