I'm glad they decided to make the extra effort to make the process more interesting. "Magic can happen any time, and anywhere!" (As long as 3267 different places is treated as a good approximation to "anywhere".) DJJ

Even more "nifty", the third person wearing a RADP pin to enter the PotC line. ;) Or maybe an Allearsnet.com pin (durring the Mega mouse meet weekend). :) Randy ========== Randy Berbaum Champaign, IL

The rules for the second and third tier prizes are almost the same - preselected locations/prizes, random picks each day, etc. The second tier locations/prizes are picked by each park manager and the third tier locations/prizes are picked by 'area managers' (FutureWorld, Tomorrowland, etc.). In both of these cases, the locations/prizes can be changed from time to time but are only updated in the computer after-hours (not to affect the particular day's picks). The goal is to award second tier prizes using very specific locations, much like the major prizes - without input from the Dream Squad. The third tier prizes are supposed to give the contest it's 'random' appearance by allowing the Squad some leeway in who is approached (for example a nearby family instead of a single guest), and where the prizes are awarded (for example, "first person to snap a photo of the hub statue 'shortly' after 2:00PM"). These 'tiers' are loosely based on the average value of the prizes in each tier but those numbers not being given out by management. Boom (by the way, I found out that the number 3267 was chosen because it is (club) 33 * 99 although I still don't know the significance of the '99')

I understand that Real Life is more important than Usenet! I'm glad you have a chance to pop in her occasionally and give us the straight scoop on things. >DL/DCA has a seperate list of locations.

Thanks, I suspected that the two places had separate lists, but thought there was some chance they were being run from one location. >The rules for the second and third tier prizes are almost the same - >preselected locations/prizes, random picks each day, etc. >These 'tiers' are loosely based on the average value of the prizes in >each tier but those numbers not being given out by management. Are you allowed to give examples of what "second tier" and "third tier" prizes are? Besides the castle stays, "first tier" prizes would be WDW vacations, right? >Boom >(by the way, I found out that the number 3267 was chosen because it is >(club) 33 * 99 although I still don't know the significance of the >'99') Hey, a nod to Disneyland!
