I can't believe it. It was the grand prize in a raffle for daughter's baseball league. I just received the call today. 7 days/6 night accomodations, Meal Plan, and Theme Park Tickets. It is a trip for 4 and we have 3 kids, so we will have to pay for my son. (possibly an upgrade on the room, too, since the room we won only accomodates 4 people). And, we have to pay the airfare. But, it is still less than we would have paid. We have never been to Disney. We were actually planning to go next year and then we won this. Wow.
Wow, that is so cool! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.
Hey, depending on the hotel you can probably get a room upgrade for free...work the magic because hotels are suffering and will do anything to keep the business. In fact you could probably get a free breakfast or lunch on the hotel if work it right (that you won through league, never been there, etc...)Good luck, great win!
Congratulations. Going to Disney and only paying for one person is awesome!!
Congratulations. That is great news for you. I am sure your kids will have a good time.
Fantastic! I have never been there but I am sure you and your family will have a terrific time. Enjoy!
Thanks everyone! I am still pinching myself to make sure I didn't dream this.
Congratulations - such great timing, too. Hope you all have a great time!
Congrats! Is it Disneyland or Disney World? I've been to Disney World and loved it...
I always forget which is where, is Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida? or visa versa
It's Disney World.
I went there once as a kid, so I am excited to bring my kids.
Very cool indeed. I have been to Disney in Florida several times. If you are renting a car, I suggest you take the hour long trip over to SeaWorld too. Your children will love it.
That is fantastic news! If you want any help you know you only have to ask.......

Thanks for the offer, Alison. I think I should be okay, though, since we are going down with my sis and her family and she has been to Disney twice. I already told her to plan our week and just let us know what we are doing when and where we are doing it! LOL! She actually prepares a spreadsheet for the trip!
Also, thanks for commenting, annvans.

I finally wrote 200 hubs and I've surpassed 100,000 page views. My 200th hub linked together many of my hubs pertaining to small businesses. It's gratifying to know I finally reached another milestone. Thanks to the many of you Hubbers who have served as inspiration during my time here.

I just have to ask you to celebrate with me. After 7 months, I finally got a hubber score of 100. I never thought I'd see that.Of course, I don't know why, but I must be doing something right.
