To celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company this October, Disney Parks & Resorts has launched a competition to crown the UK’s Biggest Disney Fan. The competition is open to all UK residents over 18, including agents, and closes on 13 February. 

A shortlist of 10 fans will be chosen by a Disney committee and invited on the “ultimate Disney holiday” over the Easter break. It includes a family visit to Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and a Disney Cruise Line sailing around the Bahamas on the Disney Wish. Over 10 days the 10 fans and their families will compete in 10 challenges, with the chance of being named the UK’s Biggest Disney Fan.

The competition is being hosted by Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer and Disney super-fan Janette Manrara, who will join the winners on their journey. She will host many of the challenges to test their Disney knowledge, and the final winner will be crowned in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. They will receive a stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite, which is found through a secret doorway inside Cinderella Castle.

To enter agents need to upload a 30-60 second video from a public Instagram account, tagging @DisneyParksUK and using the hashtag #UKsBiggestDisneyFan. They can also upload their entry on the Facebook pages of Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris or Disney Cruise Line UK. In their video agents should explain why they want to compete for the title, and avoid using music.  

Angelica Costantini, vice president of Disney Destinations International UK and EMEA, said: “This is a hugely exciting way for us to come together and share our Disney stories and memories during our 100th anniversary 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.”
