Jeez, iSm. In many ways I agree with you as usual but you are seriously King of Being a Dick About Things.

<--said with a smile because I know iSm too well

I personally can't get too excited about giveaways because the chances are always small. Hell, we don't even go to the park /that/ often right now, and with a crowded summer looming I'm sure that's not going to change much. In any case I'm not going to doom and gloom about it, it's only a contest, and I'm happy for whoever wins.

It'd be cool if we did though

With a million prizes awarded over the course of a year at the U.S. parks that isn't even horrible odds (if based on gate admissions it would be about 1 in 50 or 60).

Of course, the odds of winning the hotel suite will be much worse (1 in 55,000 or so). I'm sure most of the prizes will be essentially worthless.

Gee, sorry you feel like I'm being King Dick about this ... when you've seen as many Disney "winners" as I have, give me a ring, huh. I suppose I should start believing Disney press releases, too. Or assume that attractions will be what the imagineers envisioned.

Sorry, been around the Disney block too many times. They are cheats and liars and compromisers ... and no amount of me being optimistic or pessimistic is going to change that.

(Scaeagles and my own winning records notwithstanding, I'd be all sunny about this if humans were not determining the winners.)
