marlboro ranch we won trip!!!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 41/100. cookiecrumbles (229)   ranked 432 out of 5,322 in travel2 months ago

WE WON!!! Marlboro had a 100 days of Summer Contest where you entered every day for daily prizes. We won small prizes like dollar off coupons, lighters, coffee, bottle openers, that kind of thing. Then about a week ago we got this FedEx. It was a bunch of papers to fill out because my son had won a all expense paid trip to the MARLBORO RANCH in Nebraska!!!!!!
I mean ALL the expenses are paid including airfare for two! Plus he will get a $1,000 check when he gets there!!! For a total of $4976 dollars in prizes. The double room and meals for 4 days and three nights. We flipped out. How great. But I have alot of disabilities and afraid I will be disqualified. I doubt the Ranch is handicapped friendly(wheelchair)!
What do you think? Opinions please. I am already to be disqualified and let one of his friends go in my place. I know they will be doing things I can't do, like ski. They are doing this in Jan 2010 during SpringBreak. So tell me what should I do?

Don't give up so quickly. find out more about the place. Most places in todays times are handicap friendly. I don't think they can disqualify you for being handicapped.


myLot reputation of 41/100. cookiecrumbles (229)   ranked 432 out of 5,322 in travel  2 months ago

I hope not. I filled out all the papers and sent them back. They asked for a medical release. My doc said it was OK.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ShirleyBillingsley (899)   ranked 2,814 out of 5,322 in travel  2 months ago

If your doctor gave you a release, and said its ok, then you are in the clear.

Well done to your son. I am delighted that he has won the contest. My toddler son is disabled and I wouldn't want him to miss out on an opportunity like that. I think that you should not give up. You might be able to visit the ranch. People that are in a wheelchair deserve to travel easily. My toddler son rides in his pushchair and he can crawl around. When he is older he will go into a wheelchair. Good luck.

Skiing in Nebraska? I thought Nebraska was totally flat and full of corn fields! LOL

You should go. Places like that must accommodate the handicapped. It's a law. Even if they don't have ramps, they should have people there to get your wheelchair up or down any stairs they may have. Every place open to the public MUST be wheelchair accessible.

Don't worry about it and just go have fun. That is an awesome prize! Congratulations on winning such an incredible trip! Go... have fun! Enjoy the trip with your son. thumbup

I lived most of my life in Nebraska. Nebraska is a pretty flat state to have any skiing. What part of Nebraska is this ranch? There are a LOT of ranches there too. Buffalo Bill's ranch is found there. It is a big farming state.

Boy that is far to the east from any of the ranch country that I'm familiar with. I really don't know any thing about that area. I lived to the west in the pan handle very close to Wyoming

Congratulations! I would call them to let them know of your disabilities and limitations. I would be very surprised if there aren't activities that you would enjoy participating in. Go and have a great time!


myLot reputation of 41/100. cookiecrumbles (229)   ranked 432 out of 5,322 in travel  2 months ago

I had to fill out a questionaire and tell them everything.


myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (2638)   ranked 647 out of 5,322 in travel  2 months ago

When you hear back from them, they will let you know if they can accomodate you. If not, there is probably an alternate prize, or even a cash award. Don't forget to let us know, ok?


myLot reputation of 41/100. cookiecrumbles (229)   ranked 432 out of 5,322 in travel  2 months ago

I sure will!

Ho cookie,



That is so wonderful to win something big like this, but the best thing is to get in touch with them and tell them, there is should something for the disable people other wise that is not fair, get in touch with first before you ask anyone to go instead, good luck, I really hope you can go.

Check into the ranch you may or may not be correct, then decide.

First let me congratulate your son on his great win. I would call the ranch and ask if they were equipped with amenities for the disabled. If not then I would not go and let my son choose one of his friends to accompany him.

Try calling toll free directory assistance (1-800-555-1212 and its toll free) and ask for a number for Marlboro Ranch and ask them if they are handicapped friendly. Also find out what there could be for you to do there during the day while your son is sking. You might find there are many things to do and then again maybe you would feel better turning the ticket over to a friend of your sons.


myLot reputation of 41/100. cookiecrumbles (229)   ranked 432 out of 5,322 in travel  2 months ago

thanks--great advice. Thanks for the directory number too!!!

I hope you get to go and if not please do not feel down in the dumps. take care
