I'm totally freakin' out! (Sorry, I just had to share my excitement!)

Hey all! I am so overwhelmed right now but I just had to share with my fellow podsquaders. I won the grand prize in the Disney's Doorway to Dreams Sweepstakes!!! The prize being 225 DVC points for the next 3 years, so free lodging for my Disney vacation trips for the next 3 years. It's insane!!

In February, we went to the Doorway to Dreams at Woodfield Mall. We got to taste food from the African restaurant that will be opening at the new AKVs (very yummy!), listen to the head chef speak, and listen to a Disney imagineer speak...it was a very cool presentation! We entered the sweepstakes, of course thinking nothing of it. And BAM! FedEx brought us the great news today.

I am BEYOND excited and just finished calling all of my family so just had to share with my Dis family. This is amazingly helpful with our post-podcast cruise hotel stay! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree! We went through the AKV setup and were just amazed. And they had those super friendly Disney World-ish workers. Gotta love that.

And forgot to mention, it is 6 days 'til my 25th birthday. So, I feel like it's just a great, big Happy Birthday to me.

Thank you so much for all of the congratulations! I *truly* appreciate it!

Happy Early-ish Birthday!!

I agree 100%! The Disney workers at Doorway to Dreams were super great. We had our two little kids with us that day and they were so very nice to all of us...

We actually don't own DVC. We were renting points for our upcoming trip in October at AKV. I was planning on purchasing in the next few years though and would love to own at AKV.
