And you know for sure it is rigged how? Please share!

Sure, there is a fair amount of the "Non-Disney-Like" families, or people going to the parks. Yes, and a lot of non-americans as well. But the majority is the typical family I would think. Could this contest be fixed? Sure. Could this "Typical" family winning be a coincidence, yes. Would Disney put thier necks out rigging a promo? I don't think so, but who knows?

While the standard special exerpience things like this are rigged and picked for photogenic qualities (such as the 80 billionth guest; first guest on the 50th anniversary, etc.) if this one is being run as a contest then there are very rigid state and federal laws that Disney has to comply with.

Now, if this thing wasn't one of the official prizes for the Year of a Million Dreams then I am absolutely confident that the family was picked for their demographic. If it is an official prize then I am reasonably confident that they were not.

I don't have any hard evidence, but this stinks like the dead rats behind the oven at Goofy's Kitchen.

I don't think it's a coincidence that a slim, demographically desirable, photogenic American family from Anytown, OH recieved this experience.

Not at all.

OK. So that's my cynicism over, now I'll wait and see if a chunky gay australian gets a dream come true granted when he goes to DL in March/April....

I don't view it as a contest. I view it as a promotion. Something completely different.

You know me- I like rigged contests. Like Florida 2000.

Just for clarification, that was a joke. I don't believe Florida 2000 was rigged and I don't want you evil people telling me that I said it was.
