Disney Pixar CARS: Disney Stores 20-CARS Set WINNERS!
Last week, the entry to winning this ginormous set of 20 Disney Store CARS was to tell us a Disneyland-Disney World-Disney Resort story …
Originally, we were going to select 10-20 of the best and have a random drawing from that but frankly, the doors were all too touching, entertaining, funny and so sniffly so to be fair, we entered every CONTEST ENTRY into the electronic hopper and drew two at random.
WINNER #1
I have been a Disney fanatic all of life and still am at age 50. I collect Disney figures and have an extensive collection. As a kid in the 60s and 70s I always dreamed of going to Disneyland or Disney World, but the closest I ever got was the ViewMaster reels that my parents got for me. I must have looked at them thousands of times.
In 1981 I was touring as a keyboardist for a gospel group and we happened to be in Florida and decided to go to Disney World since we had a 4 day layover between concerts. This was long before there was an Epcot Center, MGM Studios, etc. The only attraction back then was the Magic Kingdom. I couldn’t sleep the night before knowing that I was FINALLY going to be able to fulfill my dream. I made the others in my party crazy because I was acting as a tour guide because I knew about every ride and attraction from years and years of looking at the Viewmasters. It was one of the best 2 days of my life!

AND WINNER #2
One of favorite things about planning a trip to Disney, is how is magically makes the kids behave like angels! And of course, when they don;t, one simple word makes them remember their manners….DISNEY!!!

I am STILL SMILING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no, didn’t they tell you the news? You won a picture of the Disney Stores 20-CARS Set, not the real thing. 😆
OH, the Canadian Version!!!!
It has to go through “John in Missouri” customs process. 😉
Yes, exactly! Just like the all-new Bessie that I’ve asked Met to send me. 🙂
Thanks for all of the congrats guys. I logged in today and saw that the winners had been announced. I clicked on the link and began reading the post and scrolled down to see who had won and I was about 2 sentences into Winner #1’s story when I realized that it was MINE!!!! I can’t believe I won this!!! And with a single entry, too. Looks like I’ll be collecting these from the Disney Store in addition tocollecting the Mattel Diecast. I already bought the Disney Store Frank because i felt that it was in true scale to the Mattel cars.
Thanks to Met at TakeFiveaDay, Disney Store and Disney Consumer Products.

Oh well, congrats, you two!
The winners deserved their prizes, but I still say you had the best story, hands down!

Congratulations P.D. & gargan123. You both deserve winning this prize as very simply put. P.D. persistence pays off!! 😉
Woohoo, congrats winners 🙂 I really enjoyed reading all the stories, they were lovely and heartwarming.
Seeing how they randomly drew every “Contest Entry”, I’ll bet those who forgot to lead off with “Contest Entry” are kicking themselves today. 🙁
(MET: Well, actually if you put the words CONTEST ENTRY somewhere in your post, the computer counted you but yes, if you do read the instructions, the computer will not count your entry if you do not include the words CONTEST ENTRY (doesn’t need to be in caps).
yay pd cone grats!!!!!!!! and gargan123 🙂
WOO HOO!!!!
How great is this?? I totally wanted that set too!!!!!!!!!!
SORRY!!! Item can KNOT be shipped to Canada for the following reasons:
1-Package is knot bilingual
2-Promos/Contests cannot exist.
3-These Cars first appeared in the US in 2009. You must wait until 2014 before you are entitled to them.
4-Friends/Family of Disney (Pirates of the Caribean or Donald Duck) are not allowed to enter.
Seriously, Congratulations! It could know have happened to a better person.
HAHAHHAHAHAH! so true. . . and so funny!
Actually Daniel, if you look at the top picture, the package IS bilingual 😀 And PD doesn’t live in Quebec, unlike us, so I guess he’s allowed to receive promos and enter contests. It’s only our province that is @$$backwards…
Congrats PD!!!
What is “Aye aye, Matey” in French?
“Je m’appele John de Missouri, et je donnerai toutes mes CARS a Edge”
… or something like that!
Pas aussi rapidement, mon ami, j’emploie Yahoo! Babelfish journalier ! 🙂
Congratulations to the winners, PirateDad & gargan123 and thanks to all for the very entertaining and heart warming stories 🙂
Congrats!!
WHOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go guys!!!
Great stories all around and what a FANTASTIC prize!!!
