Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays Press Release
Pleasant Holidays Orders Hawaii 'To Go' at McDonald's

Pleasant Holidays and McDonald’s Restaurants have teamed up in a joint promotion called “Your Lucky Day Hawaiian Giveaway” to award 30 Hawaii trips in 30 days in the Los Angeles, San Diego and Portland areas.

The 30-day trip award schedule for each market is as follows: Aug. 23 through Sept. 26 in San Diego; the entire month of September for Los Angeles; and Sept. 9 through Oct. 8 in Portland.

In the Los Angeles region, McDonald’s “Prize Team” will surprise a winner, complete with TV cameras and on-air interviews, at randomly selected restaurants.

In the San Diego and Portland areas, patrons are directed to fill out an entry form in participating restaurants for each day’s drawings. The Prize Team cameras will then show up at the winners’ homes to award the prize.

During the promotion, numerous radio and television stations in each market will air information about the contest, and will announce the daily winner’s name within the region.

Each of the 839 McDonald’s restaurants participating in the promotion will feature posters, decals and tray liners, in addition to four million “Pleasant Passport” flyers which will be distributed with each sale, outlining travel specials being offered during the promotion.

Pleasant is advertising the following Hawaii travel packages in conjunction with the McDonald’s promotion, which are commissionable through travel agents:

From Los Angeles, six-day holidays at Waikiki’s Hilton Hawaiian Village start at $919 per person.

From San Diego, six-day holidays at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort begin at $1179 per person.

From Portland, six-day holidays at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa are $806 per person, or at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa for $1155 per person.

Included in Pleasant’s travel packages are roundtrip airfare, accommodations, daily Dollar Rent A Car (roundtrip airport/hotel transfers in Waikiki), fresh flower lei greeting, hotel taxes, and more. Prices are based on double occupancy.

McDonald’s travelers from the San Diego area who purchase seven-night Pleasant Holidays travel packages will receive “Two Vacations For The Price Of One” with a coupon good for two nights at selected Marriotts in Scottsdale, AZ; Palm Desert, CA; and San Francisco, CA. 

Pleasant Holidays is donating $20 from the sale of each travel package sold during the promotion to Ronald McDonald House Charities in the area of origin.

Through December 23, 2002, Pleasant Holidays guests can take advantage of additional savings, via Pleasant’s exclusive ValuPak, which offers two-for-one savings worth over $325 on a variety of tours and dinner shows throughout Hawaii.
