Oh yeah ... it doesn't take long for reality to come crashing back in once you get home.
The one thing that amazed me, though, was that we never felt one iota of depression about heading back to Pop Century after we checked out. We were just so thrilled to have had that opportunity we floated back to the resort no questions asked!

Honestly, I think they took great "panes" (get it? panes? ) to ensure that people outside wouldn't see anyone moving around up there.

You know, I got so caught up in all the excitement, reading all the posts about this and looking at all the pictures (and, quite frankly, daydreaming about what would happen if I won), that I completely forgot to say Congratulations and Thanks for posting all this...especially in such a timely manner!!
So, congratulations and thanks!

Yes, they will. There is no criteria to win ... you just have to be in the right place at the right time.
We reviewed the guest log and there was more than one "single" who had won.

Forgive me if this has already been asked as I have not read all replies but I was just curious, did Disney comp your room for the night you stayed in the castle or did you still have to pay for that night even though you weren't in the room? Hope this question doesn't offend and isn't too intrusive or personal

Sorry I'm late responding to this ... I just saw it and no, it's definitely not intrusive or personal at all.
They did not. We were charged the full amount for our stay at Pop. I have to admit, I did have some fantasies about them maybe comping us the night, but once I considered how expensive the whole thing was for Disney I kinda figured they wouldn't.
I mean when you consider how many CM's they were paying to look after us, the free meals/snacks/drinks they gave us, not to mention the mementos, pictures, gifts ... it probably added up to quite a bit.

I had been wondering that myself. I suppose since there's no criteria to win except for the right place in the right time, what about those staying off site or just there for the day? They'd essentially stay for free. It also makes me think they would have multiple locations chosen each day in case whomever the first winner was could not do it (like they are flying out that day, etc.).

They did tell us that if the selected party does not accept the prize (which, believe it or not, does happen!) then they move on and select someone else.
I guess they call back to home base or something and have the computer spit out a new location.

Yeah, I go way back with U2. I saw them live on the Unforgettable Fire tour and have been hooked ever since. I think I've seen them in concert like a dozen times and would go a dozen more.
They're definitely my favorite band, too!
