Blog Your Way To Disney by Love Our Disney


Blog Your Way To Disney

Love Our Disney is super excited for this event/giveaway! In case the title didn't give it away, this is a giveaway for bloggers, and also has Disney vacation written all over it!

 Remember back when I said I had won gift cards, etc that I probably wouldn't use? Anyways, the original plan was to do a giveaway if we hit 2000 likes on facebook by December 31, 2012. Well, I decided I had enough to do 2 giveaways with the gift cards and some wonderful donations from our sponsors. We will still do the other giveaway IF we hit 2000 likes by December 31, 2012 but decided, why not do one for bloggers? We always have giveaways for our fans, but since it was a blogging community that I won the gift cards from, I want to give back to other bloggers as well.

So how would you like to blog your way to Disney?


How does it work? The Simple Version: (Please be sure to read the Nitty Gritty rules if you plan to participate)
  1. You as a blog (craft, DIY, Self-help, Save money or special interest blog- no shops, family blogs, etc) first swap buttons with Love Our Disney (FREE ADVERTISING!!!) Love Our Disney's button MUST be on your site.
  2. You do a post somehow related to Disney. Here are some ideas: Disney crafts, save money tips, Disney Review. If you are not able to come up with something, you can also ask me to guest blog one of my tutorials or my save money tips on your site. At the bottom of the post you post a link to send your readers over to Love Our Disney to enter a reader giveaway (which will be titled Love Our Readers) for a $50 Visa Gift Card and 2 Mickey/Minnie shirts in the sizes of their choice. 
  3. Any blogger that gets someone to enter the giveaway is then qualified for the blogger grand prize. This is not a "who can get the most" type thing. You get one person- you are entered into the drawing. We hope you get more- but just one gets you entered. (The entry requires them to answer the question- Where did you learn about this giveaway?- you will, in your post instruct your readers to answer the name of you blog/site here)
  4. Readers will have extra opportunities to enter their giveaway by liking Love Our Disney on facebook, etc.
  5. After the reader giveaway has ended, we will do a drawing (using random.org) for the blogger giveaway.The winner gets their choice between
    ~ 3 night hotel stay (at a hotel booked by Love Our Disney), a $200 Airline or Gas Station Gift Card(s), and choice between 1 day park hopper or 2 day 1 park/day Disneyland tickets (for 2 people). Transportation/Air fare would be on you (though you can use your air/gas gift cards). We ask if you choose this option, that you consider (but not required) joining Love Our Disney in the park in either March/April or November. Incidentals, spending, etc would also be the responsibility of the winner. Winner would need a credit/debit card to put on file with the hotel. Hotel may charge a fee for parking (though we try to avoid those hotels). Love Our Disney will also supply you with 2 Mickey/Minnie shirts in the sizes of your choice. Additional shirts can be ordered for $10/each.To be clear- YOU ONLY GET THE HOTEL STAY, GIFT CARD(S),  PARK TICKETS AND SHIRTS.
    OR
    ~ A $250 Disney Gift Card and a $250 Visa Gift Card.
