Randomly selected.

Hehehe, I got directed to that story so's I could check out the Penthouse. My fave feature is the receccessed Mickey ceiling. The entertainment system in one of the bedrooms is cool, too.

Considering who sent me the link, I really shouldn't go on about the cute family who won the prize in a total fluke!!

The number of picture perfect families far outweighs the number of non and the odds will be in their favor all the time.

And while I think it would be super uber cool to win a stay in the Penthouse I'd much rather the out of town family (and that includes you LB) on a once or twice in a lifetime trip win.

I can believe that this contest is random based upon the odds.

And I never said that only picture perfect families should be elegible, no one did Pru. But the odds are in their favor because there are so many of them.

Part of winning the night in the room is serving as grand marshall for the parade. So, create a rotating schedule to see who leads the parade every day (though keep in mind that if a mail-in entry is selected as the winner they don't get the prize just a cash equivelant) and see if they deviate from the photogenic heartland of America Stepford-family ideal. And if not, then file a class action lawsuit in the name of all "ugly" Disneyland visitors.

If Disney is not very, very careful in randomly distributing these prizes then they'll run afoul of the laws governing such promotions and this prize is not specifically exempted from the other prizes in the contest. That isn't to say they aren't stacking the game, but if they are they have opened themselves up to some liability.

Well, at least I won't have to spend any time crossing my fingers and wishing for dreams during my trip. Oh well.

Swing by Sac and pick up my kids, Pru. Then sit back and reap the benefits of being the perfect family at Disneyland.

Half price churros with drink purchase, fvcking-a!

Aww, Pru, it could happen.....

Love the room! Wow, I'd like my house to look like that!
