Winner of Taylor Morrison Dream Home Contest Visits Disneyland Resort
Arizona woman chosen from more than 147,000 entries to receive home valued at $200,000

Anaheim, Calif. -- Kristin Pierce’s first trip to the Disneyland Resort was a memorable one. The Arizona wife and mother met Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, toured the Innoventions Dream Home and received the keys to a free home.

Pierce was named the winner of the Taylor Morrison Dream Home Giveaway in June and visited the popular California resort on July 31 along with her husband, Geoffrey, to receive the ceremonial key for her new home, which is currently being built in a Phoenix suburb.

Pierce was chosen from more than 147,000 entries to receive the new home, valued at $200,000 by Taylor Morrison. The win was especially sweet for the Pierces, who had spent more than a year looking for a foreclosed home they could afford to purchase.

“We must have toured at least 50 houses,” Kristin said of her foreclosure search. “We had finally found one that was in pretty good shape so we were excited to start the process. Then this happened. It was unbelievable.”

After meeting Mickey and Minnie and receiving the key to her home, Pierce was given a tour of the Innoventions Dream Home before embarking on her weekend vacation at the resort. The Innoventions Dream Home was built by Taylor Morrison in a partnership with Disneyland, Microsoft, HP and LifeΙware last year.

When the Pierces return to Arizona, they can look forward to watching their new home being built at Stratland Estates in Gilbert, Arizona. The couple chose a four-bedroom model called the Vintage, a 2,200-square foot home that should be finished by the holidays.

“It’s always great to hear of stories like these,” said Taylor Morrison President and CEO Sheryl Palmer. “It’s even better when you can take a role in making someone’s dream come true.”
