That's a bit harsh don't you think? you came here asking for help, if you weren't prepared to answer the questions of the people trying to help you, you shouldn't have posted.

Thirdly, would I be right in the assumption you are new to Disney message boards? This is in my opinion the most mature and balanced Disney board in cyber space. But be advised, there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there who use these boards to con the system. We read stories and see it happening first hand all the time. So it makes people a little cautious (in a systemic kind of way, at both a cognitive and subconscious level). Also, some of us get a little grumpy because we have never won them - 4 weeks and $10000 worth of the disney experiences since competition and I have only won a set of pins (and very pleased I was too). Others here go to DL all the time and have won very little. So it is likely that people are being quite inquisitive. And lastly, having read through here, there are some very reasonable suggestions that you have brushed of without explanation. that's your right, but in most conversations, people would explain themselves, so I cannot help but feel you are being a little defensive and if I may say ascerbic. I hope you get what you are looking for, and indeed I hope you stop to look around and stay a while. Laughing Place is a great community. But when there are pirates who exploit our web communities and then go and make a profit on e-bay or enjoy the perks of not waiting in line on their next break where someone else kindly sacrifices a nice, rare souvenir that can become an heirloom, well frankly I am not surprised at people asking questions. So while I hope you do not feel picked on at all, by the same token, please feel some empathy towards the other helpful folks on this thread that have tried to help, to be cast aside quickly. Now, welcome aboard. Hi I'm dave. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Originally Posted By joeysmommy We did not use ours because we won them on a Thursday in September and many of the rides had a wait of 20 mins or less. Darkbeer, can we even use them if they are from Sept 2007 and Nov 2007? I am sooo prying those babies out of my scrapbook!
