We are just back and were lucky with watercraft! Must have been because these 4 days at WDW preceeded a DCL cruise, lol!
The first night leaving MK we were headed to the boat launch back to the Polynesian because the kids really wanted to ride a boat. However it had just left, and since it was cool and windy we decided not to wait and turned around to head to the monorail. Just then a guy I soon recognized to be a Dream Squad member ran over to us asking where we were headed and did we still want a boat ride. Only after he directed us to a closed boat launch, start a boat up that had not been running, and take us in did I recognize it as a dream -- we had won a private moonlight cruise! Very romantic, even if the kids were with us! They took a polaroid as well as a photo with our camera, gave the kids tons of stickers and trading cards, and we got a certificate to commemorate the occasion.
Our last day in the parks was at Epcot and we were riding the boat back from World Showcase to Future World when the boat was boarded by a Dream Squad with a big black bag. He handed out Dream ears to all of us!
These last two were not official dreams but magical moments for our kids just the same. Earlier that day in Epcot DD7 was picked by the CM at a pin kiosk to be the child to select the pins he displayed on the display lanyard. She was so excited to be chosen!
And finally DS9 was picked to be part of the Toy Story Roundup (or whatever it's called out front of the Country Bear Jamboree in Adventureland) while we were at MK. He got to wear a cowboy hat and hold a cactus for the characters to dance around.
