All the entries are in, and the scores have been calculated! After 73 entries it came down to a handful of people with a score of 11/12. Sadly, nobody scored a perfect 12/12. There was one image that seemed to stump almost everybody. In a twist of irony, the handful of people who guessed that image correctly, didn’t guess enough of the other images correctly to be in the running. Go figure.
Just so everyone is aware, because the majority of the feedback I received from the contest was that it was difficult, I judged entries very liberally. If you managed to guess the general area/concept of the image, I gave you the point; however, if you merely vaguely mentioned an attraction or resort, I didn’t award any points. In order to be fair with the majority of the guess, some specifics were required. Because multiple people correctly identified 11 out of the 12 images, their names where entered in to my randomizer and it was responsible for selecting the winner.
That being said, the winner of Where in Walt Disney World is: Heather M! Congrats Heather. I’ll be contacting you shortly to arrange shipment of your Vinylmation!
Thanks to everyone who played! Even if you didn’t win, I hope you got a few kicks out of my game. I’m already trying to cook something else up for another game in a month or so… hopefully you’ll play again!

This game was totally biased. If one never went to Disney World, one would automatically lose. Discrimination against the Disney World-less!

I thought the contest was great, it made me think a little! I enjoyed it.

Wow- it feels so good to know what image 5 was! It made me smile that it was at the Polynesian because yesterday as I was reading a Disney guide book and was reading about this resort, I thought to myself “I bet that water fountain image was at the Polynesian.” Haha.
Well, if I’m the Heather “M” that won then that is definitely exciting. I can tell my husband all the obsessive reading of my Disney books and searching and thinking of where the images were from was worth it. This contest was a lot of fun and perfect timing- now I have new places I had not noticed before to experience when we go to Disney in September.
