The Millers from Montrose are the happiest family on Earth after winning a family trip to Disneyland thanks to the Independent Cinema Association of Australia (ICAA).
Three year-old Hayden Miller entered a competition run by ICAA to win the trip when he went to watch Planes Fire and Rescue with his family at Croydon Cinemas.
To the family’s surprise, Hayden’s entry was selected when the competition was drawn in November.
“We had a message on our answering machine and joked that maybe we had won,” Ms Miller said.
“And it still hasn’t really set in yet.”
Croydon Cinemas manager George Aleksiunas said he was ecstatic when he found out the winner was an entrant at his cinema.
“It’s not a bad prize for a young family,” Mr Aleksiunas said.
“They are very deserving.”
Mr Aleksiunas said that cinema-goers would have the chance to win a family trip for four to Japan soon.
When Paper Planes, starring Sam Worthington and Deborah Mailman is released on 15 January, viewers will go into the draw for the Japan trip.
“Anybody coming to see that film will go into the draw and have the chance to win,” Mr Aleksiunas said.
