A prize is an award given to a person or a group of people to recognise and reward actions or achievements. Official prizes often involve monetary rewards as well as the fame that comes with them.

Q. I heard that they only give out prizes in the morning, is that true? Also, does anyone know specific places/areas that the giveaways take place at? Asked by DFLBR - Mon Sep 10 11:19:15 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Its totally random. Some prizes like the fast passes are given out early so you have time to use them but you can win anytime your on Disney property. Where and when is chosen by computer, it will give a location and time, very specific like Star Tours, theater 2, row 3 seat 5. Its all luck of the draw, all you can do is go and hang out at the parks as much as possible. The one thing I won was mid afternoon and my sister and her kids won late afternoon.

Q. I've been working in a summer job to save to buy a Nintendo Wii and a Laptop. But I thought that if I hold the money for Black Friday, I would buy them more cheaply. And besides, if I wait until Black Friday, The Windows Vista in the Laptop would be more updated with less bugs and the Wii would have more games. And if you think they would lower their prizes, around what would be their prizes. If you want to know which laptop I would like to buy, I would like it Dell or Hp with a good and fast Intel microprocessor. Asked by The Cop - Wed Aug 22 20:27:17 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Laptops---yes. Wii---no. Wii is still in short supply and will be better than last year but still tight for Christmas 2007. Everybody runs some kind of laptop for $300-$400 on Black Friday. Now, a fast HP one? Nope. An entry-model Dell? Yep, my guess would be Walmart because Dell has started selling to Walmart. (Dell already has one for $499) Answered by intheleast - Sat Aug 25 23:45:35 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Prizes"
