I'm sure the number of hours would be zero. Not only maintenance, but security folks would be there all night. BTW, if anyone finds and post-castle reports from the lucky family (or the other lucky people who win the castle stay henceforth), please post the URL. I enjoyed reading the report from the lady whose family had the Magic Kingdom to themselves a couple of months ago. Patty

Why do you think this will happen? It's supposedly based on whoever happens to be standing or sitting in the right spot at the right time of day. DJJ

(Insert standard disclaimer about absolute randomness being impossible. Nonetheless, this system seems to be plenty random enough for its purposes.) In fact, the news stories about that first family clearly said that they won because the 16-year-old son was sitting in a specific seat in a specific row in a specific Star Tours simulator at a specific time that morning. No "hand picking" involved at all. Patty

No "hand picking" involved at all. Now *this* is interesting, at least to me. I had figured that the castle stay would be given out to someone already at Magic Kingdom for the day, each day. Not sure why I had assumed that, but I was trumped on day 1. This could come in handy, since I've made no hotel reservation for my one-day trip tomorrow, and I'm only going to be at Epcot. C'mon, computer, spit out someone watching the Voices of Liberty tomorrow! DJJ |
