We were at WDW from 10/25-10/30 and we won a dream at MK! We got to MK shortly after it opened (right around 9:20 or so) and as we were walking around the hub, we noticed Mary Poppins signing autographs. We ran over to see her and when we were done, we were approached by a dream team member, (although you couldn't tell by the clothes since it was so cold out everyone was wearing jackets). He asked us if we were true Disney fans, and of course we said "YES!" He then asked us if we would like to be the grand marshalls of the parade!! He then told us he had one more family to choose and we were to meet up with him at 2:35 where the parade begins so that he could go over everything with him. When we met up with him, he gave us some Mickey ears (the plain black ones) with our names on them, and a certificate that said we were official grand marshalls. As it turns out, the other family he chose ended up living within 10 miles of us! What a small world!

That's a great dream! We were grand marshals of the family fun day parade once. It's just a little parade, but it was fun!!! I'm sure you guys had a blast! Congrats!
