Giveaway: Two Unofficial Guides to Disney World

Here are the winners …

Disney Guide Book Winners

CONGRATULATIONS GO TO THE FIRST PLACE WINNER…

#10, Lucky Diana!!

Winner, Book One

CONGRATULATIONS GO TO THE SECOND PLACE WINNER …

#80 Lyda S.!!!

Winner, Book Two

THANK YOU to everyone who left a comment!

I have two “Unofficial Guides to Walt Disney World” books – one is a 2008 version and one is a 2009 version. The books are brand new save for a few pencil notes that I made. They are valued at $18.00 each.

I also have a Disney planning DVD to giveaway.

Why do I have these? We had talked about going on a Disney vacation for a few years now but in the end, I just couldn’t get my three guys interested enough to actually want to go so now I have guide books to a place we’ll never see. *sigh*

How to win:

1. Leave one comment per day, please – each comment counts toward one ticket.

2. Follow me on Twitter. Each Twitter subscription counts as one ticket. If you already follow me on Twitter (thank you!!), then please leave me a separate comment so I can add another ticket for you. If you just subscribed, please leave me a separate comment so I can add another ticket for you.

I’ll draw TWO winners at 5:00 p.m. U.S. central time Friday, February 13th. The first winner picked has first dibs on one guide book (either year – winner’s choice) AND the DVD, the second number will receive the book the first winner didn’t choose. The winners will be announced on my blog, as well as emailed.

I’m sorry, but this giveaway is only open to U.S. addresses at this time. International shipping just isn’t in the budget right now. 😦
