I am loving your report about the Dream Suite! I will live vicariously through you until such time that I can negotiate a clause in my next movie contract
Thank you! Yes, don't forget that DS clause. You can't leave anything on the table with those contracts.
Such a cute picture of you at the desk! Can't wait for more pics!
Thank you Kylie!
Very good tip about negotiating your contract to add the DS
I know Neil Patrick Harris stayed there, probably had to do with his Candlelight Processional/hosting the Christmas parade!
I love the pictures of you guys at the desk, and I love the glass slipper and pumpkin touches!
I saw him in the guest book from Kristy's TR. Pretty impressive. I agree, he probably had something in his contract for the work he did during the Christmas parade/CP hosting duties.
All those details were spectacular.
I wasn't aware of the 2007 promotion, sadly, I knew very little about Disney World at that time. In fact, I thought Epcot was a boring museum!? I did love Disneyland but I hadn't yet become an official Disney addict until I started researching Disney World just a couple years ago. Now the hook is in deep and there's no turning back!
Sitting at that desk all day looks horribly boring, when I stay in the suite, I'll be sure to ask the attendant to do lots for me so they don't go stir crazy!
Hi Laurie! See how far you have come? I am a transformation story too. I saw the Disney light in 2010 so I'm new to the obsession too!
Ha ha! You are too kind wanting to keep the CM busy. You could invite them up to play chess or watch a movie with you. I wonder if they read bed-time stories?
I've become such a neglectful commenter
I promise I have been reading though, and as always I'm loving your TR!
All the facts you've included from your tour are great! Thank you so much for remembering/posting them. Also, props to Em for asking the hard hitting question. I've always wanted to know exactly how NPH and Tom Cruise got their way in there!
I'll be diligently watching for 'tour part 3'!
No worries I think you are busy putting in the miles for your runDisney event!!
I wrote all the details down that night so I'd remember - I didn't want to forget anything since we knew how special it was.
There are definitely celebrities associated with Disney that get the awesome privilege of staying in the DS.
Thanks for hanging in there with part 3.
hmm, wonder if they will need to change that policy given that all the movie starts that are reading this TR will now add this request to their movie contracts. Wonder where they draw the line on who can demand it. Like, obviously Tom Cruise can, but what if Tara Reid or Paulie Shore demands it? Maybe they just can get the pig trough on Pirates of the Caribbean.
I too loved the (two) Year(s) of (two) Million Dreams! Only promotion I actually won something. Nothing big, but as we were about to "soar" on Soarin' a CM came in and gave everyone special Year of a Million Dreams Ears.
Taught me a lesson that I clearly need to dream bigger though
Ha ha Phil, you're funny!
Can you imagine if you are the DS decision maker. Yes to Tom Cruise, we'll think about it for Honey Boo Boo and nope, Country Bear Jamboree for you Miley Cyrus!
I thought you were going to say that you got Soarin FP - after the wait. Ears are cool though. I suppose you didn't ask, "can you do any better?"
Yes, Dream big... you never know. You may be the next recipient of lifetime passes to Disney.
We are inside the DS!
Well I'm already in Dream Suite heaven and we haven't made it past the elevators yet...
Needless to say, I cannot wait for the rest.
Thanks Alicia! I'm glad you brought the popcorn. It will tide you over until the next update.
Woo Hoo! We are in and moving on up!
Hi Chris! Yes, we are moving along.... one more door is in our way.
I'm with you on that one, since I know exactly nothing about how to use them fancy shmancy cameras!
But I know what you mean! You would be definitely wishing for top of the line camera equipment & knowledge when you have the opportunity to tour the DS!!!
iphones worked in a pinch.
As you can see, I took some cruddy photos so I'll have to rely on the photo CD from the photographer for the quality photos.
How AMAZING! I look forward to hearing more of the details and story behind the suite. I had no idea the Dream Suite was so new! I must have read some of the incorrect internet lore that said otherwise. I confess that I feel a little better knowing how Tom Cruise got to stay in the suite. Thanks Emmy, for asking the question! Maybe I'm just selfish but it's nice to know a celebrity can't just call up and stay in the suite. I would much rather someone like littlenellbell be able to stay there.
There may be some truth to the internet lore..
However, the space was not build in its current version until 2007.
Exactly, I agree. It is good to know that regular families can be awarded the spectacular opportunity to stay in the DS. And even better those like Kristy come back and share their stories.
