Oct 2 - One lucky winner in Disney's contest will have Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, to himself for a day. The promotion was kicked off in the middle of New York's Times Square yesterday when the traffic island was turned into a mini-Castaway Cay with Mickey and Minnie. Goofy was to have been there but for some unexplained reason, he was seen in the crowd outside the Today show patting Al Roker's belly

Here's an excerpt about this from this week's Frommer's news:

As top prize in its Year of a Million Dreams "Dream Catalog" promotion, Disney is offering the opportunity to spend a day as the only guest at its private Bahamian island, Castaway Cay. The winner and his or her guests will sail aboard Disney's Disney Wonder, then be dropped off at the island at mid-cruise, where everything will be at their disposal: meet-and-greets with Disney characters, an opportunity to parasail over the island, gourmet lunch on the beach, kayaking excursions through the mangroves, beachside cabana massages, snorkeling with tropical marine life, etc. You can enter the contest during special "Giveaway Periods" at Disney's resorts or, starting on December 19, 2007, by hand-writing your full name, complete mailing address (including postal code), daytime telephone number (including area code), and date of birth on a piece of paper or postcard and sending it to 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway, P.O. Box 8650, Elmhurst, IL 60126, USA (or, for you UK folks, 483 Green Lanes, Suite 200, London N13 4BS, England). All mail-in entries must be postmarked on or between December 19, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and received by January 14, 2009. For more of the very, very long rules, go to this page.
