TWO Disney Cruise Line Contests – And Nope, They’re Not Hoaxes!

by SharonKurheg

As I wrote in this post a while back, many contests, sweepstakes and giveaways you see online, especially when they’re on Facebook and are said to be from huge companies like airlines and theme parks, are hoaxes. Of course, there are exceptions here and there. In fact, one happened just last week, when JetBlue used a Facebook event as its method for a sweepstakes. And now there are not one but TWO Disney contest that are definitely NOT a fake.

DISNEY CONTEST #1: FAMILY MEMORIES AT SEA

This new contest is just a few days old and will run in 3 phases through early November. The contest is currently being promoted on their official Disney Cruise Line Twitter feed:

The contest is also being promoted on the official Disney Cruise Line Facebook page (August 25, 12pm post) and on this page of their official Disneyparks blog. Both pages, as well as the Twitter post, provide links to www.disneycruisememoriesatsea.com:

There is, of course, an 11-page PDF of the Disney Cruise Line “Capturing The Magic Contest” official rules. You can refer to it if you click here. Participants must be legal residents of the United States, the District of Columbia, Canada (excluding Quebec), and the United Kingdom. They must be 18 years or older, and must have vacationed on a Disney Cruise ship prior to August 8th, 2017.
