Disney Parks Channel on YouTube!

How awesome is this fellow Disney fans and vacation planners? Disney has launched the Disney Parks Channel on YouTube and a contest to get it started. The website’s purpose is to help you discover Disney Theme Parks by watching both offical “Disney-made” videos and unofficial or “visitors” videos. The visitor videos are what the contest is all about! Disney wants you to help launch this site and is offering a trip of a lifetime to Disneyland to one lucky winner. All you have to do is share 1 favorite memory of visiting a Disney Theme park and shoot a small video (1 minute or less) of yourself talking about your favorite memory and plugging their website. Sounds easy enough! Personally I think this is going to become one of my favorite Disney vacation planning tools. Official rules and time tables are at www.youtube.com/disneyparks.

So here is why you will want to get your webcams or camcorders out and enter in this fun contest as it is straight from the official webpage:
