The EFDPA Team can now confirm the winners of our Prize Draw for the Win a Free stay at Disneyland Resort Paris to spectate our European Festival of Dance and Performing Arts 2008.

1st Prize Winner - Holiday

Congratulations

Our 1st Prize winner is confirmed as Samantha Burgess from Folkestone in Kent.

Samantha will be taking her 7yr old daughter with her to watch the event. The pair will have the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time around the Disneyland Resort and Parks.

Samantha wins a 3 night stay in a Disney themed hotel with continental breakfast for 1 Adult and 1 child (3-11yrs),* admission to the festival event, a 2 day Disney Theme Park Hopper ticket giving access to the Disney Parks during the stay, and return car / ferry from Dover to Calais. (prize excludes insurance).

I spoke to the lucky mum earlier today to tell her the good news and was told Sophie her 7year old is mad about dance, she stated "she would be so pleased to know she could go to watch the festival, as she was too young to compete this year". Also considering joining them are Sophie's twin sisters Jessica and Emma and their dad Graham.

looking forward to meeting you all in Paris
