Share and Win a Disney Holiday…Or Not?
The claim was tempting. Everyone who shares and comments on a facebook post gets a box containing a “Disney Holiday”. The post has flooded facebook with thousands sharing and commenting. But, will anyone receive their box?
The Facebook page claiming to be Disney World shows a picture of some Disney branded boxes. We are hoping the 209,000 comments are not standing by the mailbox. Snopes.com reported the post as a scam and there are several inconsistencies.
- This is an unverified Facebook page. Verified Facebook pages for well-known brands, people and public figures have a little blue check mark next to the name. This one does not.
- The page was created in January 2020. Disney World would have no need to create a new Facebook page just a few months ago.
- The verified Walt Disney World page is not running any sweepstakes offers at this time. They are concentrating on information regarding the current COVID-19 closures and travel advisories.
- These are RunDisney.com boxes. There is no information on what they contain and no other mention of RunDisney.
- Disney World is not celebrating their 78th birthday. They opening in 1971 and the 50th anniversary will happen next year in 2021.
- And finally, why would you mail out a box with an intangible “holiday”
It is unclear the purpose of the post, but it is clear that most likely no one will receive a Disney Holiday.
