New Sweepstakes for a Disney Trip Leaves out an Entire Group of People


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Even though California is offering a new sweepstakes, only certain residents can enter. Do you think this is fair? Would you enter?

It’s so exciting that Disneyland opened earlier this month. In fact, one of our writers, Marisol, visited Disneyland the day it re-opened. Check out her fun time here.

Wouldn’t it be nice to check out the Avengers Campus and everything else for free? The state of California is running a new sweepstakes to encourage vaccinations.
