Thank you! I will feel better about it when I get it in writing.I am so afraid to take any vacation request off the books at work until I get something more official.
Don't give up hope! You might just be a winner too before the end of this!
The fourth of July (2-5th) is also blacked out.We can also only go in the summer so we're having to pick a date before the 4th and a date after.
Oh, and April isn't blacked out for Disneyland but it is for WDW.
I'm so glad you got the info Brent. Just think, if it weren't for this board you would just be sitting at home waiting, waiting, waiting not knowing when you'd be contacted. Luckily you were able to get the phone number and call without going totally crazy!Did you tell him that this will be your honeymoon? I really hope they upgrade you guys or do something special.
Thanks all for the good wishes and congratulations, if it wasn't for this board who knows where I would be in the process! I'm having a blast reading all of the posts and hearing about everybody's plans 
I call my WDW contact. I have only had contact with him via email, I was planning on leaving a message but was suprised when he answered. He was so nice! I asked him if he had any idea if our travel dates/hotel/flights had been scheduled yet and if so would we receive the info by email, snail mail etc. I told him we were trying to keep our employers updated as far as the dates we requested off. He said that he had us down for June 2nd at the Grand Flordian and had us listed for our additional dates at Pop.
He also said at this time he did not have info on the airfare or the rates for Pop. We would not need to put any deposit down for the extra days at Pop we could just pay for them when we checked in. He said he was working on processing travel plans for winners who have travel dates prior to ours, other contests etc. but that we should have ours within 30 days. I should have asked him this but didn't think of it at the time. There is a special offer for discounted rooms at Pop the week we will be there but you have to book before the 29th. Do you think the rate they will give us will be cheaper or should we put a reservation in just in case.
Lol yeah I mentioned it real quick, and I might throw it down in the comments section or in the general email as well to see what happens
I sent it in this afternoon and asked her to e-mail me to confirm that she had received it.
They told me that for DL they would offer us a 20% discount on extra nights. If I was in your situation I'd book the Pop myself and you can always cancel it. You'll only have to pay one night upfront and as long as you cancel 5 days before check-in you'll get all of your money back.
I do this all the time with WDW reservations. When we camp at Ft. Wilderness I have to make a reservation for 30 days because we never know what dates we'll be going and once we decide I just cancel the extra days. It's not like a vacation package when you have to pay all of it by a certain date. Sometimes I even book 2 or 3 different reservations for the same timeframe looking for the best deal. It's much easier for me to do it online and once I've decided just call Disney to cancel the ones I don't want. I hate calling them because it's so time consuming so I try to do as much online as I can.
I like to think I am on top of this thread.However, I seemed to notice alot of DL picks. Who is choosing WDW besides me?
LOL! You make me laugh Debby.
I put which enhancement I wanted in the body of the e-mail but she didn't mention it when she e-mailed me back. Let us know what she says.
We talked for a minute, I didnt recognize her screen name though.
Congrats! I am glad you got your first choice! We did too
