If they are picking 2500, then with 600,000 APs, odds are 600,000 / 2,500 = 1 in 240.

1 in 240 not great.... Much better than 1 in 150,000.

Well, no. Yes if all of the people with APs entered that would be true, but I'm willing to bet that far fewer people will actually enter.

From what I understand, they are picking 2500 out of the people who are registerd on this special AP web page.

My guess is that not every 600,000 AP holders are registerd on this page. From my marketing education, only 10% register anything. So your chances may be a LOT better then you think!!!!!!

"To enter to win, just register to this site"

Ya. I was correct. Its only for AP holders who register. Like I said, that could be as low as 10% of the 600,000+ AP holders. So the odds are actualy quite good!!!

My friends have AP's and I know they haven't registered. This contest is looking better and better.

Why don't they just give up and invite the Mice Chat members. There are only 1,563* of us. That would mean they would still have 937 openings to give to other people.

* as of 4:00 pm PST on 3/10/05

Better yet, just us MiceChat folks with APs...

I like the way you think. Make it those of us with Disneyland APs and you have yourself a deal.

Can we add seniority to that list, going by who has had continual passes for the longest period of time? LOL!

Oh, and do you get bonus points if you have an engraved stone between the parks?

::shakes fist at not buying an AP::

I'm guessing they're going to use the 2,500 people for something...possibly backfill for a press shot or some other publicity stunt. For those who win -- be prepared to go LIVE on ABC TV.

I'll have an "Eisner Sucks!" shirt made just for the occasion!

Or maybe wear a SaveDisney.com shirt...

RX-24,
If we both get picked, we can carpool out.... I'd be there in a heartbeat!

Well, 5 hours of heartbeats.... but you get the point.

Does this mean AP HOLDERS will not get in unless they buy a ticket the day before?
I realize the crowds will be crazy, Should people be lined up at the gate 1 hr before?possibly 2?
