Disney is on the hunt for the UK’s biggest fan to celebrate its 100th anniversary and over 10 magical days, the 10 fans and their families will compete in 10 challenges throughout the Disney theme parks and on-board the Disney Wish, all for the chance of winning the coveted title of UK’s Biggest Disney Fan.
Disney wants to hear your story and why you want to compete for the coveted title.
Hosted by Strictly Come Dancing star and Disney super-fan Janette Manrara, the competition is open for two weeks until February 13, at which time the entrants will be whittled down to a shortlist of 10 Disney fans and their families, by a special Disney committee.
Once selected these 10 fans and their families will take part in the ultimate Disney holiday over the Easter break.
Janette Manrara will join the 10 winners and their guests on their special journey and host many of the challenges testing their Disney fan credentials along the way.
At Disneyland Paris, they will unleash their inner hero and take on missions at Marvel Avengers Campus, before journeying to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, where fans will compete amid lands of endless enchantment, and exhilarating thrills, and finally, on an adventure like no other, with Disney Cruise Line around the Bahamas, on the Disney Wish.
The final winner will be crowned with the title of UK’s Biggest Disney Fan in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
To commemorate the occasion, the winner will then receive a money-can’t-buy stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite, which is found through a secret doorway inside Cinderella Castle.
Speaking on the competition launch, Vice President of Disney Destinations International UK and EMEA, Angelica Costantini, remarked:
“This is a hugely exciting way for us to come together and share our Disney stories and memories during our 100thAnniversary year. We are inspired by the fans and families who have brought us into their hearts over the last 100 years and we wanted to choose a prize that reflected that. The 10 short-listed fans and their families are destined to have a truly magical time experiencing Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disney Cruise Line, all whilst competing for the title UK’s Biggest Disney Fan.”
Janette Manrara said: “As a life-long Disney fan, I’m thrilled to be part of the crowning of the UK’s Biggest Disney Fan. I’ve been to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida 43 times, the first time when I was aged one, and I even managed to get my husband onboard by putting an annual Disney Parks visit in our wedding vows before we honeymooned in Disneyland Paris! I chose Disney as my specialist subject on Mastermind so you could say, I’m more than qualified to help guide the fans on their magical journey.”
Hopeful Disney fans of age 18 or over can enter from January 30 until 13 February through a 30-60 second video, which can be uploaded from a public Instagram account, tagging @DisneyParksUK and using the hashtag #UKsBiggestDisneyFan.
Alternatively, they can head over to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris or Disney Cruise Line UK Facebook pages and upload their entry in the comments of the competition post.
In the entry video, entrants should express why they want to compete for the title of UK’s Biggest Disney Fan.
