    Thanks for the link!

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.
    Oh I cry a bit, I don't sleep too good, but I'm fine

    More details.... You can only enter once, you can enter and get a ticket even if your pass is blocked out that day (they give you a blockout day ticket), you can enter through May 24, and winners will be notified on or around June 4 by email (it doesn't say whether they'll notify those who didn't win... hmmm...)

    Blurb from the contest page:

    Enter for the Chance to Preview the Newly Re-imagined Disney California Adventure Park on June 11, 2012
    Grab this chance — only for Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders — to be among the first to experience how the Happiest Place on Earth just got happier! As part of the preview, experience exciting attractions, dining and merchandise locations.

    Step foot on Buena Vista Street — the main street of Disney California Adventure Park — to see the transformation. Imagine you have been transported to an idealized 1920's version of Los Angeles. Stroll past Art Deco storefronts, a sparkling fountain and see sights designed to invoke the energetic city Walt Disney discovered when he traveled to California in 1923.

    And then enter a land like no other: Cars Land! Here, Radiator Springs has been brought to life and you'll feel like you've walked into the Disney•Pixar Cars movie. Cars Land comes fully loaded with exciting attractions, entertainment and plenty of Disney Character meet-and-greet opportunities. Get ready to be floored!

    The expanded and re-imagined Disney California Adventure Park will open to the general public on June 15, 2012.

    I selected all three times and asked for all six available admissions. I expect we'll have another "have tickets / want tickets" thread once the winners are announced.

    We're already planning on being in town to assist with MousePlanet's coverage of the grand opening; if I win, we'll just come down early.

    I entered, but am kinda bummed since I am the only person in my family with an AP. I would really rather not go it alone! The rules seem a bit contradictory though, as they say APs that have expired after May, 2012 can attend, however they go on to say that you must have a valid AP to attend. I'm confused!

    A dream in a wish your heart makes! Engaged at DL December 2008, honeymooned at DL December 2009, too many other trips to mention! Happiness is being and AP holder! Looking forward to the day my kiddo is old enough to enjoy the parks as much as I do

    It wont let me create an account for Cub since he's only 4. I want to enter him since he's an AP and increase our chances of winning. Anyone know how I can enter him if it won't let me create him an account? Or am I SOL?

    ETA: Never mind, I just read the rules and you have to be 18 to enter. Bummer since I know a ton of folks who's kids are APs, too.

    Fingers crossed!

    Why do I keep getting the message that I don't qualify for this drawing? I have an active premier pass, I live in L.A., and I'm definitely over 18.

    Is your AP profile on Disney's webpage up-to-date/accurate? There might be something (e.g. wrong email address, wrong expiration date, etc.) that is causing a problem.

    Yes, I wondered that too, but everything is up to date. They must not like me.

    even your pass number (has to be a current pass ID number to be valid)? also, if you recall, some folks with premier passes have had issues elsewhere with qualifications as a Passholder.

    There might be an issue with the premier pass compatibility. A friend is having the same problem with a premier pass. I'd email Disney to ask/alert them of the problem if they don't already know.
    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

    I entered this contest after seeing it on Facebook this evening. My husband is allowed to enter too, correct?

    Yes, the pass number is up to date as well. Sometimes these premier passes are major pains to have.

    That's a great idea. I'll hope I can get some help.

    Yes, as long as he's also an AP.

    Well, I thought I would try one more time before emailing Disney today, and for some unknown reason it actually worked!

    That's great. Hopefully, they've fixed the problem for all premier holders.

    Interesting that they seem to be at the next level of publicizing this opportunity. I got an email today from Disney telling me about the contest and instructions on how to register.

    I got the email and I'm completely depressed... It's June 11, that's my LSAT and I'm not local, otherwise I'd enter. Good luck to those that enter and, if you wouldn't mind, could you please put up a trip report?

    Churros anyone??

    Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?
