Either that, or they know that you are on boards, and wanted to get some good publicity out for the DL freaks. : )

Do you have your real name and address linked to your profile in any way?

Originally Posted By fkurucz >>I'm wondering if the deal involves only locals or what<< That would make sense. A mere 1 day pass would not be enough to entice someone to visit from out of town.

She said nobody in her family have ever been passholders. She did say she worked at Disneyland for about two weeks during her senior year of high school (about 8 years ago) but she quit because they had her on parade duty and she hated it. Lucky her...I'm jealous!

The one ticket was not enough for them to plan a trip knowing they would still need to purchase additional tickets so they just threw them away. Too bad they were name and address specific, I have friends that could have used them.

Originally Posted By ploeb909 I think I got one, and tossed it! Agh!! Not sure though, the little girl and her dad picture looks familier as well as the envelope. I thought it was a "your invited to buy a new pass". Better read carefully people!!
