Disney Giveaway
**Please note: This giveaway is now closed to new entries.
I’m feeling extra generous today, so I am going to offer another giveaway. This one has two purposes.
1. I am a comment junkie and love to hear from my readers (Did you see the cute little sunflower I just added to try to encourage more comments?)
2. I like to talk about myself.
When I’m not giving my kids reasons they will need therapy and stalking Ryan Gosling online, I am a professional travel planner.
I have been doing this for over 2 years and I absolutely LOVE it.
While I have experience with planning honeymoons, all-inclusive getaways, cruises and more, I spend most of my time helping families with their vacation plans. My specialty and absolute first love is Walt Disney World.
(The photo below is of me receiving my diploma at the Disney College of Knowledge Graduation Ceremony in January of this past year. Can you tell how excited I am?!)
It is such a great job because planning vacations is almost as much fun as taking them. I can help my clients with choosing their hotel, activities, dining reservations and itinerary. It is like I am vicariously planning my own vacation and it doesn’t get much better than that!! Plus, I get to stay home with my kids which is an added bonus.
Most of my travel clients are local and I try to provide them with the absolute highest level of service. I’ll meet with them to give them tips and tricks to make sure that their vacation will be one they remember forever.
I guess that is why I’m still a little leery of marketing my business online to strangers (although many of you I now consider new friends). I’m not sure how this personalized service that I am used to giving would translate to the internet, but I guess I can figure that out as I go along.
This is my passion (behind my family, friends and Ryan Gosling, of course).
If you are in the market for a vacation or think you may be in the next couple of years, please consider bookmarking my website and utilizing my services. The best part is that it is totally FREE to work with a travel agent. I charge no fees because I am paid directly from the supplier (Disney, Apple, Carnival, etc…)
What on earth does all of this have to do with a giveaway? Well, I have decided to offer an amazing prize to you today.
A $50 Disney gift card
I use the word amazing because to me anything related to Disney is amazing, but I’m biased since they pay me. This really is a pretty cool card because you have your choice of so many places to use it–the Disney Store at the mall, the Disney theme parks, the Disney cruiseline and Disney Shopping online.
Here is what you need to do to enter to win:
1. Leave me a comment telling me your favorite ride or other attraction at Disney World or why you love the place as much as me (if you have never been to Disney World, just leave me a comment telling me your favorite Disney character).
2. For a second chance at winning, leave me a comment letting me know that you would like to be signed up for my travel newsletter. Please only ask to be signed up if you are interested in receiving occasional special offer emails. I send them out usually about once a month, but absolutely no more than once a week. ****Please leave me another comment letting me know so you will be entered a second time.
3. For those of you with a blog, you can earn another entry by posting about this contest on your blog. Just make sure you leave me another comment with a link to your post so I know that did this and you will be entered again.
This contest is open to anyone (non-bloggers too) and the last entry must be received no later than Monday, August 4th at 10pm EST. I will pick only one winner for the gift card.
Good luck!

Ok, I will take 3 entries please haha! YOu are sooo bookmarked. We love Disney cruises and love the parks as well!
1) Ok, my favorite ride is still Its a Small world. We will be getting our daughter from China soon and I dream of taking her and making memories like my parents did. I love to people watch. I love driving into the park and actually parking because thats when the dreaming and having fun begins. we usually park in Pluto for some reason!
Its amazing, truly magical place and I can not wait to use your services (hopefully soon)
AMy
This is a cool prize! I think it’s awesome to market your business on here! This is your blog, about you. (well, and Ryan… but I am SURE he would be in full support of this, as well…)
I’ve never been to a Disney theme park. We hope to go within a year, or so. We’ve intended to go before but things came up. (death once, and then we lost our house.) but i LOVE Mickey Mouse… SOOO MUCH! And Gen adores everything Disney!
oh yes… i forgot… signing up for your newsletter.
My favorite ride at WDW used to be The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
But then they built Soarin’
I could live on that ride. I love all things Disney. We’ve gone at least twice a year for the last 8 years (sometimes for 2 week trips) we own Disney Vacation Club, we have annual passes even though we live in Ohio, we’ve been on at least 8 disney cruises (I lost count), every room in our house has a hidden Mickey (some as obscure as being part of the wall texturing!)
And the end-all-be-all of Disney fanaticism…..in the next couple of months, we’re moving to a house where we can see WISHES from our backyard!!!!! How cool is that???
btw, here from Amy’s Random Thoughts!
YEAH DISNEY!!!! It’s my family’s favorite place in the world to go!!! Hubby loves the big rides, Kiddo loves Soarin’, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Railroad, I love the “happiness” factor, and we all love the characters.
But THE MOST IMPORTANT thing for us is that they TOTALLY cater to kiddo’s allergies. It’s virtually impossible for us to eat out … except when we’re at Disney; they go out of their way to give him safe and wonderful meals. (FYI, kiddo is allergic to the following: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, beef, pork, peanuts, and treenuts.)
Since kiddo was born (2002) we’ve been to Disneyland 5 times and Disney World 1 time. Check out this link to see the post I wrote after our most recent trip.
I’m going over RIGHT NOW to sign up for your newsletter. I’m already subscribed to several other Disney newsletters and I enjoy getting every one of them.
Thanks for this wonderful contest! And you can be sure that if I ever need help planning a Disney trip, I’ll be back at your website faster than you can say “Jiminy Cricket”!
I admit it I am a Disney freak as well. I am in major withdrawal since we have not been since our honeymoon seven years ago. *sigh* That is probably why we are trying to figure out when to take our boys.
My favorite rides are: Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Test Track and The Haunted Mansion (thanks to a behind the scenes tour we took).
I love Disney because you can be a kid at heart and enjoy. The parks are clean, everyone nice and they will do anything and everything they can to make your memories wonderful.
Thanks for the wonderful contest. I am off to sign up for your mailing. I would eventually love to chat with you about booking a trip for my family.
My favorite ride has to be the classic Teacup ride! Who doesn’t feel 5 years old when they ride that?
Thanks for such a generous and happy prize giveaway!
Bella:)
I love the tea cups! I have not been to Disney since i was young but that was my favoite ride!
i haven’t been in years so dont remember the rides. i love goofy though. i’m taking my daughter there in a month though so i’m so excited.
thanks for the great contest.
I want to enter, because my family is going to Disneyland in October, and I could seriously use $50 at that place. Having said that, I’m a Disney virgin. I’ve never been to either Disney before, it’s really a sad story. I’m married to a guy who’s been everywhere and doesn’t want to go back. This trip was actually given to my son by my MIL. I have been thinking of traveling lately, so I could definately sign up for your newsletter, even if it’s only to dream. (And are you kidding, share this with other people, I wanna win?!)
Can I still be entered?
We haven’t been to DisneyWorld yet, but the kids LOVE the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyland! Congrats on having a career you love!
My parents took us to Disney when I was 7, and I loved Space Mountain! Thanks for the giveaway!
saharagreen at gmail dot com
When I went to Disney World, as a child, I loved Space Mountain. Thanks for the giveaway.
Well, if you must know I am also a Disney junkie and I think you have my dream job!!! We go each year and more if I could convince the husband and are getting ready for an August trip so I would of course LOVE to win!! I must say my favorite ride is a toss up between Test Track and Primeval Whirl…I’m not a total thrill junkie and probably wished they would have stopped Mission to Mars like I was screaming for them to while I was riding it, but alas…I survived!! Thanks for the entry!!
I’m looking forward to finding out what my daughter’s favorite Disney ride is when we take her there for her first time…she is very into Ariel and Jasmine right now, but I still love Minnie Mouse and Pooh
I’ll take two please! Space Mountain was my first roller coaster (major roller coaster fear), and oddly I loved it. But really, Epcot is my favorite of the parks. Sign me up for your newsletter please!
I love all things Disney. Especially the Magic Kingdom and the Peter Pan ride!
Congrats on the College of Disney Knowledge! I used to be a travel agent in another lifetime and did the College of Disney Knowledge back when it first came out…I would guess this was early 90’s. Anyway it was pretty laid back and you just filled out a test that came with the booklet you got every month and you earned your ears. It was a great way to learn more about Disney. It looks like it probably has evolved to something bigger and better, esp with your nice plaque and Mickey there for a graduation pic. How cool!
I am always advocating to family and friends the benefits of using a travel agent.
I LOVE Disney and anything Disney. We are closer to Disneyworld and I am partial to it. My husband was sent to Anaheim for a conference this spring, so we packed up the kids and went too. It was a five our flight with our five year old and 15 month old twins, but sooo worth it. Many people said that my babies would get nothing out of the trip….they were so wrong. Brenna fell in LOVE with Mickey and Minnie and Liam loved Chip and Dale. I think the twins are going to be Mickey and Minnie for Halloween, so a g/c would be wonderful.
Favorite ride(s) You want us to pick JUST one!
Fave kids ride - It’s a Small World. It was closed with we were in CA which was a big bummer. I like how the kids are just mesmerized by it, it can make the crabbiest toddler calm down and its a great break from the summer heat.
Fave big kid ride - Soarin. I think I rode it 5 times, my five year old 10 times, thanks to the Parent Swap!
Anyway, good meeting you come visit my blog sometime….I am just getting started and need to learn the ins and outs, but with the twins I don’t get much extra time and I sooo need blogging for dummies or somethign like that!
wow this is grate i love disney and well this i could usee to get my little one some thing realy nice so i hope i win this thanks
Sad to say I have never been to Disney! We hope to take my son in a couple years, so it will be a first for both of us!
As far as favorite Disney characters…I love Eeyore!
My favorite Disney ride will always be “It’s a Small World”. It reminds me of being at the park when I was growing up. My children love it and it better give them the same great memories I have.
Do you see therapy in their future too? LOL
thanks for the chance to win!

We leave in 24 days for Disney World. I think this will be our 15th trip since we started having kids! My favorite thing to do is be with my husband and kids, roaming wherever we want. Favorite thing to do has to be eating! Followed by Space Mountain…but not in that order. I’d love to get your newsletter.
I haven’t been to Disney World since I was 8. But I LOVED it!!! My husband and I ahve been talking over the past year about we HAVE to go and take the kids. They are the perfect ages 4&7 now and my youngest in littealy in love with Mickey Mouse. I still remember his first trip to the Disney Store. He jsut about died! I can’t imgine him at Disney World!
Yes please add me to your newsletter. We are thinking of goign in a year or two and would love to use you! We just did Maui this summer so we are trying to start putting back for Disney World now. ktonquest32 at aol dot com
1. It’s sort of wierd but I like to sit on the bridge between Future World and the World Showcase at Epcot and eat candied almonds and listen to the funky Disney music over the loud speakers and be thankful I’m not at home.
2. I would love your newsletter. What a terrific career!
3. http://leastweknow.blogspot.com/
My favorite disney character is Eeyore. please sign me up to receive your newsletter as well.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!
My favorite Disney ride is ‘It’s a Small World’. Sadly, when we vacationed there a couple years ago with our kiddos, that ride was temporarily closed for updates. I was so upset that my children didn’t get to experience my favorite Disney attraction. Hopefully we will get a chance to go back some day. I would love to enter your very generous giveaway, thanks so much for offering it. And, I’m a huge Ryan Gosling fan, too, so I think you are now my new blogging BFF, LOL! Thanks!
I’d love to receive your newsletter as well!
You did this just so I would enter and win your contest, didn’t you? You know how much of a DISNEY FREAK I am!!!!!
Ok. My favorite attraction at Disney is the Animation Academy at DHS. I know it’s not thrilling or exciting, but it presents us with the best souviners EVER…our own drawings of a Disney Character.
My daughter and mother (my constant traveling companions) are just as into this attraction as I am. It’s obscure and we’ve never had a full class and that’s part of why I love it.
We discovered it back in 2005 and last year when we went, we did it 8 times! We have a total of 27 pictures between the 3 of us! (8 last year and 1 the year before).
There are so many rides I love and miss (20,000 Leagues, Mr. Toad’s, the original Journey, etc…) but this is by far, my favorite attraction.
yes please sign me up for your newsletter
I’ve never been to Disney but my favorite character is Milan
Great giveaway! I hope I’m the lucky winner.
I would love to win this. My favorite ride was it’s a small world. every ride at disney is great, my parents took me when I was young and we are taking the kids in October. So excited, but already dreading the long car ride. Thanks for a chance to win.
My favorite ride is Pirates of the Carribean, THanks for aesome contest.
please sign me up for your travel newsletter.
I’d LOVE to receive your newsletter! I love getting all my other Disney newsletters and to add on another one would be terrific. Especially since it’s a travel one.
We’re getting ready to plan our trip for next year.
How do talk to you about our trip? I’ve never used a travel agent before and I still may not (don’t get excited!!!) but my neighbors want to go as well and I’ve had no luck with other travel agents online.
Anyway, sign me up for the newsletter. I promise I won’t cancel it after one reading! LOL!
I love Disneyland because I went there a lot as a kid for family trips and such because my family is from California and I still have lots of family there. My mom and I used to house sit for my Great Aunt and Uncle (the best job ever, they have a house near LA and one in Dana Point the best little beach town!!) and go to Disney! My favorite ride there is Star Tours.
Disney World holds a special place in my heart because my hubby and I went there for our honeymoon. My favorite there was in Animal Kingdom and the ride where you go through with all the animals, I don’t remember the name. I love zoos and I love Disney so what could be better!
my fave ride is the aerosmith rock n roller coaster! love it!
I’d love to be signed up for your newsletter

cloudspassby78@yahoo.com
Ack! There are so many great rides. How can you pick just one? I love Pirates of the Caribbean and Rock n roller coaster and Tower of Terror. The list goes on. We hope to pop in there before October to visit the Adventurer’s Club in Downtown Disney one last time. Sad to see it close.
Please sign me up for the newsletter too!
I just love everything Disney. I think what I love most is the magic and wonder associated with the parks and the company. Life can be so stressful and negative and we need positive things in the world. Whenever I see Mickey Mouse or the Disney castle it just brings a smile to my face and reminds me of a happier time. I love epcot and all the rides.
Congrats on getting your diploma and thank you for the great contest!
When I was a kid, my favorite ride at Disney was the Pirates of the Caribean. When I went with kids a few years back, my girls’ favorite ride was Cinderella’s Carousel.
I know you said Disneyworld, but we just went to DisneyLand in January and I loved the California Screamin ride in California Adventure. So fun!
I love everything that has to do with Disney. Mickey Mouse is my favorite character and I loved splash mountain when I spent my honeymoon there 10 years ago.

I haven’t been to Disney World in ages… but my favorite thing when I was a kid was the monorail! How cool is that thing?!?! I’m also a sucker for It’s A Small World (although I hate it when that song gets stuck in my head!).
Great giveaway!
We have never been to Disney World, but we are annual pass holder at Disney in California. Our favorite ride is the Finding Nemo ride. So cool!
You can subscribe me to your newsletter. Thanks.
I have only been to Disney once about 8 years ago and at the time, I loved the Rock N Roll Roller Coaster. We are returning in March to give our kids their first visit while they are still little. I even have a countdown posted on my sidebar of my blog. As of right now, I think my husband and I are more excited than the kids.
I have never been to Disney World! We’re trying to plan atrip there for next year or the year after that. One of my favorite rides at Disneyland is the Haunted House. I love it always have even as a kid and pirates or the Carribean! Classics! Thansk for the entry
I’ve never been to Disney World before!! Would love the chance to have to win this $50 gc! My fav Disney character has always been Winnie the Pooh!! I still collect anything with that has to do with Pooh!!
Well, the last time I was at Disney was when they were building Epcot Center! I believe it was 1980? But I do remember loving “It’s a Small World” and the “Pirates of the Car.” rides. We’ve decorated my son’s nursery with a Pooh theme so this would totally come in handy!
I love Buzz lightyear space ranger spin…because whenever we go we laugh so hard in our attempts to beat each other.

Hi, I’m new to your blog and would love to be entered in your giveaway. I haven’t been to Disney since I was a child myself, and don’t remember much about it. I’d love to take my kids there when my youngest is older though, she’s only 1 right now and I want her to remember it. My favorite Disney character is Eeyore! Thanks!
lukeysmama (at) gmail (dot) com.
It has been awhile since we have been to Disneyworld, but the last time we went, everyone loved the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger ride that was like a giant video game. We would do the ride, hop off, then run back around and do it all over again. Traffic at the park was light that day. I don’t know how many times we ended up riding.
I haven’t been to Disney World in ages. But at Disneyland, we’re dying to go on the new Indiana Jones and Space Mountain will always be my favorite. Thank you for this!
favorite disney character is Mickey Mouse
ahh i want to go to disney world so bad!!!! hopefully in the next year. my fav character is Pooh Bear
I used to live 45 mins from Orlando, so we went to Disney frequently. I loved Epcot actually. It was fascinating learning about other countries, although the muscial variety show in the USA section was one of my favorites. The area where they grew the organic food in Epcot was also fascinating. They grew all the vegs with no dirt.
As for Disney World I always loved the expressions on the little kids faces (I had no kids at the time) when they saw one of the characters. It was the sweetest thing. They would run to get a hug. No reservation. Of course they knew that was a person in a suit, but still, they went with it.
We have not been there since the kids were young (they are teens now) and would love to go back.
Thanks for the giveaway!
We live in California, so have been to Disneyland in Anaheim many, many times. We love all the rides in Toon Town and we love Space Mountain and the Matterhorn. And the Tower of Terror gives me the giggles
Thanks for a great contest!
I went to Animal Kingdom a couple of years ago. I liked the roller coaster there, although I can’t remember the name of it.
I’ve never been to Disneyland but I love Minnie Mouse and the way Mickey always thinks she’s helpless but really he’s the screw up and she’s “got it all together”! Great contest!
My family loves the Finding Nemo ride.
I love everything about Epcot. I feel like I’ve traveled the world in one vacation. Thank you
pianananna@gmail.com
We just went to DisneyWorld a few months ago with my two little girls! The last time I was there was when I was 4! I loved it. The one ride I remember from way back when was It’s a Small World. It’s still my favorite
Hey I’m actually planning our first DisneyWorld trip in May. Does that count as a contest entry?
I love the Peter Pan ride!! We are taking our kids to Disney Land this year for the first time and I’m so excited!! Thanks for the chance to win this!!
I haven’t been to Disney since I was 7 years old, but I loved the Teacups then. My favorite Disney character is Tinkerbell.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I’d like to sign up for your newsletter, please.
my favorite ride is space mountain. hubs and i haven’t been to wdw together yet and he hasn’t been in almost 15 years!! I’d really like to do a combo cruise/land trip in the next few years since we love cruising. I’ve bookmarked your site. Thanks for inviting us to look around!
I love space mountain!
I love disney now more then ever because I get to experience it again through my children’s eyes. It is even better then before!
Oh, so glad I found you! I would love to be subscribed to your newsletter and be entered for the drawing. We are planning a trip for our next anniversary and have been thinking about using and agent this time.
♥ Melissa~
We went to WDW for our honeymoon and *loved* it so much! My favorite ride was the Tower of Terror!
What a fun job you have! Did you have to pay for yourself to go to the “Disney College” or do they send you?
So nice to “meet” you through the bloggy giveaway!
♥ Melissa~
It’s been over 20 years since I’ve been to Disney, but I still remember It’s a Small World being one of my favorite places. I’m sure it’s changed a ton since then though! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve never been but would love to go. I of course love all the princesses.
Please pick me!!
I’d love the travel newsletter too! Thanks!
Well, we’ve been twice in 5 years and prob. won’t go again for a while, but the kids did LOVE it. My favorite ‘ride’ is the safari at Animal Kingdom. It’s real, bumpy, and they put so much in to it. I guess I’d have to pick Space Mountain as my second favorite, because my boys actually rode it and enjoyed it (unlike larger coasters).
We will be in Disney World in September!! My favorite ride is Soarin’… love it! You also can’t beat the fireworks at Magic Kingdom; they’re a classic favorite. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize … this would come in mighty handy!
Wow! This would be great. Unfortunately, we’ve not been to DW! Not sure when we’ll make it. My favorite character has to be Ariel Mermaid b/c the is my 3 yr.old daughter’s favorite. This would be wonderful to win and surprise her with lots on her birthday from Disney!
I would love to tell you my fav ride at Disney world, BUT I have never been. I have only been to Disneyland! So I will tell you my fav there. It’s gotta be the Pirates of the Caribbean! Great giveaway thanks
I dream of the day I get to go to d-world but my favorite character is eeyore and Handy Manny.
Thanks I would love to win.

I loved the Haunted Mansion ride when I was a kid.
My favorite Disney ride was the Aladdin’s Magic Carpet ride. This is the one that I remember the most from when I took my oldest 2 girls.
My favorite ride is a toss up between It’s a Small World and Pirates of the Carribean. One of these days we are going to get our 3 kids to DisneyWorld.
I would like to receive your newsletter.
I haven’t been to Disney since I was 12. My favorite ride was always Mr. Toad’s Wild RIde. I wonder if they still have it? My favorite character has always been Tinkerbell.
Geez…hubby & I went to Orlando & did the park thing before kids, so we did every park BUT Disney World. We are *definitely* taking them when they get a little older, though! So my fave Disney character? Lilo! That little gal has a lot of spunk and its one of those movies my oldest will watch, but not ad nauseum. Yet.
Thanks for the chance to win a great prize!
I haven’t been to disney since I was 8. We want to take our son soon. I loved the Dumbo ride when I was a kid.
I love Disney World! I have never been much of a ride person and was actually afraid to go on Soarin. After I got on the ride I fell in love with it. I wish Disney world was nearby because I would go on it a 100 more times. It was such a great experience for me. I also love the character meals because it made my daughter smile so.
I would also love to get your newsletter!
I hope this counts as a ride, even though it’s not technically a ride, but I love Tom Sawyer’s Island. It’s so much fun to run through all the caves. I heard it’s going to be replaced with something else, and I’m so bummed. If that doesn’t count, then my other favorite ride is Space Mountain. Always has been, always will. If you go at night, it really does feel like you’re shooting through space!
I just went on Soarin’ for the first time last month. Utterly amazing! I nearly had a vertigo attack as we sailed over the Golden Gate Bridge, but after a few deep breaths and a mantra of “It’s just a ride…it’s just a ride…” it was incredible.
Sign me up for the newsletter, too.
i havent been to disney in awhile since i was a kid, so there wasnt as many rides as there probably is not
and i cant remember either my favorite character is donald duck
I loved the Haunted Mansion. It scared me, but it was great!
I’ve only been to Disneyland but I know my fav from there is also in Disneyworld “It’s a Small World” I know some think it’s corney and annoying, but I love it:)
I remember being really enamored with the Dumbo ride as a small child…I also remember loving Space Mountain when I went to Disney as a teen. Great giveaway!
I’m a west coaster, so I have never been to Disney World but have been to Disneyland tons of times. My favorite rides there are Splash Mountain and Soarin’ Over California.
Hey,

Thanks,
Oh my god! Disney World is the best vacation ever!!!
I like all the rides (except for the kiddy ones)! But I have only been to two worlds and that was the Magical Kingdom and Epcot. I adore Epcot. You have all the countries out there in one location. The experience was simply amazing!
I added your giveaway to my LJ: http://bishiesruleme.livejournal.com/5165.html
I love the World Showcase, especially the cool shops!
If I won, this would go straight to my sister-in-law who is a Disney freak (she has Downs Syndrome). My in-laws take her pretty frequently.
Thanks!
My favorite Disney Charactor is Eeyore!!! I am pregnant so after my baby gets old enough we plan on taking him to Disney world which is closer to us than Disney land. I have never been to either place but I still want to go so much!
I haven’t been since I was young, but my favorite then was It’s a Small World! Come to think of it, it’s been way too long since I’ve been to Disney, so I need to convince hubby it’s time to take a trip!
I have always loved The little mermaid!!
Well I went there when I was 12 and my favorite thing was the TIki Room!!!
amitymatthia (at) hotmail (dot) com
Oh yes pleas sign me up for your newsletter we are hoping to take a trip to disney world sometime in the nearby future!!
We went to Disneyland December of ‘06. I was sick as a dog!! I had a sneaky feeling to why I was so sick, but frankly, couldn’t believe it! I was pregnant!! After 7 long years of infertility, I was pregnant…and oh-so sick at Disneyland. I felt so bad for my 8 year old! He was pretty understanding, and we are hoping to make it up to him by going back to Disneyland next summer. Along with our now 11 month old, who will be almost 2 then!

I love Space Mountain! Thanks;)
It has been YEARS since I was at a Disney Theme Park. When I went to the Magical Kingdom, the friend I had with me wouldn’t ride Space Mountain with me, so I didn’t ride it. If I get to go back someday, that is the first thing I’m riding!!
My favorite Disney ride is Splash Mountain and my favorite show is Festival of the Lion King!
6 more days and we will be back there!!! WAHOOO!!!!
I would also love to receive your travel newsletter from one Disney lover to another!
What a fantastic offer! My absolute favorite ride is Rockin’ Rollercoaster. (It absolutely is NOT Tower of Terror which made my daughter cry! LOL!)
Thanks for the entry!

I’ve never been to Disney World, but we’re going to Disneyland in December! WooHoo! I am so super excited to go because I get the chance to go with my nephews who will be turning 5 (while we are there) and 2.
I love Cinderella…most likely because it was the first movie I saw on the big screen back before I was even big enough to hold down the folding movie seats. It was wonderful!
My favorite ride has always been Space Mountain, but the Aeorsmith coaster at Disney Studios is fun, as is Tower of Terror. I will add this. I am very disappointed with Disney for dropping the Tarzan show (music and stunts) at Animal Kingdom for a Nemo attraction with guys holding puppets on sticks.
My wife told me about your contest and posted a link on her blog, amychristopher.blogspot.com
One other bit of trivia (that cost us 1st place on Monday) was finding out that when Disneyland opened, the adult regular admission was $1. I think in Orlando it’s now about $72.
I haven’t been to Disney World but was at Disneyland when I was 10, so I’m sure there’s a lot more rides since then!! Our favorite character around here would have to be any of the princesses. Ariel and Cinderella probably being the favorites. And of course Minnie Mouse!
Thanks for the chance - this would be great for back to school shopping!
My favorite character is Izma from “The Emporer’s New Groove.” Yup — LOVE her AND that movie. (It was a toss-up between her and Edna from “The Incredibles” (My favorite Disney movie of all time.)
I love…splash mountain:)

Tower of Terror for my favorite ride. I really like the shows the best….I used to work with a company where Disney was our client so for about 4 years they sent us to WDW to tour their properties as about 1/2 our questions were park related and not business related. Went on a behind the scenes tour of the World Showcase in Epcot. This is my favorite thing I have ever done there. Love to stay at there resorts so I am in the middle of everything.
I went to Disneyland when I was 5 and my most memorable ride was the one with the ski lift and the mountain. That abominable snowman with the red eyes really scared me! (Notice I didn’t say this was my favourite ride — just most memorable! I can’t remember any others actually!!!)
I haven’t been to Disney World since 1978! But I LOVE Disneyland (it is much closer to us, though still a 2 hr plane ride away)….I worked there in 1992 & 1993 in their college program so it just holds so many special memories for me, I can’t even put it into words. I can’t wait to make it to Disney World, we are hoping to take the family in 2012. I don’t necessarily have a favorite ride though, but my top ones are Star Tours and Space Mtn.

I want to get your newsletter too.

I love the Carousel of Progress. It just reminds me of going there with my family for the first time, and I want to go back soooo bad! My little girl is only 14 months so she wouldn’t enjoy it much right now, but maybe in a year or two.

I haven’t been to Disney in years - so I don’t remember all the rides. The only one that I remember is space mountain and small world
but my favorite disney character is Beast from Beauty and the Beast

I have been dying to take my son to Disney!! He’s almost 7 and that’s probably the perfect age for his first visit. He’s a huge Mickey Mouse fan! I think my favorite ride at Disney is the Tower of Terror. I just love the feeling of freefalling! I know its weird but i love it! Thanks for the great opportunity!!
I’ve haven’t been to Disney World, yet, but my favorite Disney character is Tigger. He’s so much fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
i LOVE it’s a small world! the music is addicting, ythe countries represented are fun, and the ride is calm and cooling!
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been to disney but my favorite ride was always space mountain. Not sure if I could still stomach it but I would definitely try. Thanks for the give a way!
We’ve never been to Disney but are booked for our first trip there in April - 9 days! The kids are really really excited, and this gift card would be so super. Everyone suggests buying souveniers before the trip and dole them out while you are there to save money, so this gift card would be a real blessing. I’d love for you to sign me up for your newsletter too. Hope to win this great prize. Oh, and since I’ve never been there, I don’t have a favorite ride, but Minnie is my favorite character. The boys can’t wait to meet Mickey.
OOOOHHHH yay for DISNEY, love that pict…now I have a face with the name! SUPER giveaway…..hmm, my fav ride at Disney was at Magic Kingdom and it would be the Buzz Lightyear ride…..I really wanted to try Space Mtn but my kids were a little leery of that one! Maybe next time, didn’t know you were a travel agent. COOL!!
Thanks!
I like Donald Duck
We are going to Disney this December and we went last October. I would have to say that my favorite attraction would have to be LIving with the Land. I think it is because I enjoyed this ride as a kid and it brings back so many memories. Disney just makes you feel like a kid.
We love everything Disney!!! What an awesome giveaway!
Disney is as good as it gets! My favorite ride is Space Mountain
I love Donald Duck! We haven’t been to Disney World yet…but this will happen one day.
So, I have never been to Disney World, but I have to Disneyland! My favorite ride there is Space Mountain! I remember going there when I was little and riding it with my dad. He was the one who taught me to ride without holding on! Now I always do it hands free!
I guess my favorite character is Goofy.

This is a tuff question because there is so much I just love about disney. But one of my favorite memories of the trip we took was talking my mother(who won’t go on the merry go round at the local fair) to go on the “Tower of Terror” now I must admit we told a little white lie or two to get her to go on it but I don’t regret it for a minute. The picture we bought with the look on her face is worth a thousand words and then some!!! I still laugh when I look at that picture today. We all did the pin collecting while there and I would love to add to it. I’m sure they have a lot of new pins since i went 6 years ago and since we live in Maine and it’s very expensive to travel to Disney it will be another 2 years before we can go again so a GC from Disney would be wonderful~! Now I’m off to blog about this Fantastic giveaway. I’ll be back.
Just left and link and blogged about your giveaway. I wanted to add it sounds like you have a dream job and it really made me think. I would love to be able to make someones trip a wonderful memory and get to stay home with my kids. I work in a high paced office job and I’m gone long hours. What I would do to be able to work from home and love my job. I must say I am very jealous! I have no idea how to even begin to get a job like that. You can check out my blog about your giveaway at

I would love to get your monthly newsletter sign me up. I am hoping to go to Disney in the next 2 or 3 yrs sooner if possible and it sounds like you poor your heart and soul into your job and you really care about your clients having the time of their lives so if I received your newsletter I could keep in contact and up on info. Thanks
We decided at the last minute to take the kids to Disneyland in August. I posted about it on my blog…you should read it (and not just because it’s myyyy blog). We’re going backw ith the whole family at Christmastime (the kids’ favorite) so the gift card would be awesome.
Can I name my favorite ride at Disneyland instead? It’s been way too many years since I went to Disneyworld, I don’t really remember it. But I love Pirates of the Caribean at Disneyland…especially now with Capt Jack Sparrow being added.
I’ll tell ya my favorite Disney character too…It’s Goofy!
Great contest…LOVE Disney here too.
Also…I’d like your newsletter, but to this email: nataliedawnlewis at hotmail dot com That’s my personal email, the other is my blog email.
We’re hoping to take a Disneyworld trip in the next few years for our kids. My husband grew up going there, while I grew up going to Disneyland.
I have never been there
But I LOVE Aladdin! Totally my favorite!
Wow! My favorite ride is NOT the teacups…my head is still spinning from the last time I was on them. I do so love Cinderella’s Castle, though…and the parade…the one at night with all the lights!

I live 15 minutes from Disneyland. My favorite ride is the Tower of Terror. I can go on that many times in 1 day. Sometimes I will go by myself just to go on that ride.
I LOVE space mountain! This would be perfect, we are planning a trip there next year!
I love Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Thanks for a great giveaway

I LOVE Space Mountain!!! it’s been my most favorite ride since i first went to Disney in 2nd Grade!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
I went to Disney World for the first time in 2005…when I was 34. (You’re never too old!) My favorite park was Animal Kingdom - although World Showcase/Epcot was a very close second. My favorite rides were: Soarin’, Figment (my 2 year old niece & I rode 3 times in a row), Teacups & Kali River Rapids (I got soaked & my nephews thought it was the funniest thing). We all had a great time and plan to go back next year.
We’re going in November to Disneyland for my daughters third birthday. We went last year and there were almost no lines! My favorite ride is Pirates of the Carribean.
I’ve only been there once, but I liked the old Peter Pan ride:)
My favorite ride is an oldie but goodie, I love Carousel of progress! Thanks for the contest from a fellow Disney addict!
Never been but Pooh is my fave!!
I have never been to Disneyworld, but would so love a Disney GC!! My favorite charector is Minnie Mouse! That gal has it going on!!
Well, as a kid I loved Space Mountain and The Pirates of the Carribean. I’m looking forward to taking my kiddos next year! I know they’ll LOVE it!
I’ve never been to Disney so my favorite character is probably Chip the teacup from Beauty and the Beast. He’s so cute!

I have never been to Disney. My favorite character is Tinker Bell. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Seeing that I was only 7 the first time and pregnant the second time, I can’t really give a great ride. I will tell you I love Belle from Beauty and the Beast
Wow, I love your blog header and whole design, it is really great looking. To answer your question…For our honeymoon in 03 my husband I took a rode trip that worked its way through nation parks and then to Disney Land/World…which is in CA?? All I wanted to do was ride Space Mountain because there is a certain myth around it in my family (explaining it would make this post even longer) but when we got there, there was a HUGE sign that told us Space Mountain was closed for renovation. I didn’t believe it, so I went in and just sat in front of it for a LONG time…So I’d say Space Mountain is my favorite and someday I WILL get to ride it! Wow, I’m long winded this morning…
Oh, I’m jealous! I’d love your job—but I think I would practically work for free b/c I love Disney so much. I can understand how you live vicariously through your customers!
As far as a favorite ride–probably the Tower of Terror. But really, what do I NOT love?
And I’d love to be on your mailing list!!
My favorite ride has to be the Aerosmith rollar coaster. I thoughted it was going to be wierd but it was a great indoor roller coaster all in the dark. Just thinking about Disney makes me want to go back. I can’t wait to take my daughter in a few years.
I promised to take my daughter to Disney in a few years. Her fav character is Cinderella (or any princess for that matter)
I’ve never been to Disney World (even though I was in FL for 3 years only an hour away from Orlando! why didn’t I go? Why???), but being a SoCal girl I’ve been to Disneyland a few times. My favorite ride without a doubt is Space Mountain. I could just ride that ride all day and not do anything else there.
I’m sure much has changed since the last time I was at Disney World, but I loved the teacups (boring, I know!) and Epcot. We are planning to take our girls there (maybe combined with a cruise?) when they are a few years older and can enjoy the park, so you might be hearing from us then!
I *heart* Mickey and Pooh!
Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite ride at Disneyland is the Haunted Mansion, I just love the ballroom. I also like the Pirates and the Indiana Jones ride is also awesome.
***I would love to be signed up for your newsletter.***
My favorite ride at Disney has to be the Dumbo ride. Why? Well one year my mom decided she wanted to take me and my family and my sister and her family to Disney. She was paying for everything (WOW!!!). Airfare, car rental, house rental… you name it. The whole time up to our trip my mom kept saying over and over and over again that she wanted to see my daughter (Kaylee) and my nephew (Jeffrey) ride the Dumbo ride. She wanted to see them together on the ride. I have a younger son and my sister a younger daughter and my mom wasn’t sure if they were going to want to go on the ride so she didn’t talk about them (the did go on the ride after all). But it was like the highlight of my mom’s trip to see my daughter and my nephew riding the Dumbo ride together. She was beaming from ear to ear. It was like she saw the greatest thing in the world. To top it off my daughter and my nephew took Nanny (my mom) on the tea cup ride (oh boy! They spinned it so much it made her sick).
A year later my mom passed away.
Part of me believe she knew she was going to die and wanted a “last hoorah” with the grandchildren before that happened. That is the only thing we can come up with. That is probably why she wanted to see the kids on the Dumbo ride. So she had a happy memory of them to hold on to when she passed on.
Oh gosh!!!! Just thinking about it is making me cry.
Thank you for a wonderful giveaway.
We are taking our first trip there in September with our 18 month old daughter so this would be a great help, because you know Disney can get expensive.
My favorite ride is the tower of terror, but I haven’t been there since the Rockin Rollercoaster or Expedition Everest has opened, so I’ll let you know come October if I have changed my mind!
Thanks for the GREAT giveaway — my fingers are crossed.
We love to travel so I would LOVE to be signed up for your newsletter! Thank you!
I loved space mountain! I was about 9 and being in complete darkness just scared the bejezus out of me!
My favorite ride is Pirates of the Carri bean!! At Disneyland, not Disney World… the Disney World one is no where near as cool as the Disneyland one!
My favorite ride is Soaring!! Thanks fo this offer!!
I love Disney World! My favorite ride would have to be Space Mountain! Thank you!
WDW is my favorite. So much so we used to get up in the morning and drive the 3 1/2 hours to eat breakfast at the Polynesian when they used to serve French toast stuffed with bananas. YUMMY.
Boma’s is my favorite buffet. It is at Animal Kingdom LODGE. Since all buffets at Disney are one price, why not go with the best tasting and exotic food you can get?
Disneyland can fit in the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. WDW is HUGE.
I have never been to Disney, but Mickey Mouse is my hero! Thanks for the contest.
I love everything about Disney World. But, right now, my favorite ride is Expedition Everest.
I would like to receive your newsletter also. Thanks!
I don’t care how old I am, I still love Small World! And last fall I had the joy of sharing it with my girls for the first time, they loved it too
I’ve only been to Disney once & it was 25 years ago, but I just love Magic Mountain. I kept going on it
really who doesn’t love disney?! i cried when i saw Cinderella and Mickey i was just so happy! sappy i know.
Never been, but am hoping to go in a few years with our son! His favorite character is DOnald Duck!
I went to Disney for the first time as an adult! I loved the Log Ride and the teacups and It’s a Small World.
