Year of Million Dreams -- anyone else get something yet? Post your wishes won here!

[kenziesmom]

I love all the dreams everyone has received--big or small! We leave next Friday for 9 magical days celebrating my DD turning the Big 10!! I haven't told her about Disney giving away dreams--maybe she'll be surpised, too!

Well to update my previous post, we never won any ears, dream fast passes or any big prizes. But we did have a couple more small things happen to us that made our trip magical.

On our last day(yesterday) we decided to have a park hopper day to do the little things that we didn't get done. At AK my wife wanted to go and ride everest, but my six yr old daughter was a little scared because of the size of the mountain (she had already rode Rock n roll roller coster, and space mountain, go figure) and the CM watching the single rider line asked my daughter if she would like to go behind the scenes and watch the coaster from the control booth, so she took my wife and daughter to the control room and they watched all the video cameras of Everest, and saw them control the ride, and then after that she escorted them straight to the ride and they were able to ride without waiting.

Then that evening at Epcot while waiting for illuminations, my daughter went up to a CM to trade pins with her and after she was finished trading the CM looked over her pins and saw that she had collected the limited edition tinkerbell dreams pin, and I had no idea. She invited our family to be her special guest to come and watch illuminations it was an AWESOME view, we were water side right behind the yorkshire fish booth. Later I found out that we were VIP's because of the pin, if my daughter had not already traded to get the pin then she would have been given one. It was the perfect way to finish off our vacation.

Wow, what an awesome story. Did she trade for the limited edition pin or did you purchase it?

SHe had already traded for it from another CM, it was a tinkerbell pin and she almost traded away before I told her to hold on to it, I had no Idea it was a Year of a Million dreams pin, it was a tinkerbell pixie dust pin.

I think I have the same pin. We received it as a gift when we were eating at Tusker House and was told we counldn't buy it. Is it blue with Tinker bell and her wand and stars ?

My mom and I won Dream ears at One Man's Dream last week at DHS.

I forgot. And a Tinkerbell pin also at DHS later on in the week.

 

[RCMommy]

We leave on the 12th. Wanna win something....anything! I don't care! LOL

there in January and did not win anything. Didn't see too many others win anything either to be honest. Just a few families with the YOAMD ears and fast passes.

wish me luck !!!!!!

 

[bdtracey]

GOOD LUCK! We're leaving on Saturday to DL and really hoping to get something. We were there in May 07 and saw LOTS of people with fastpasses and ears but we didn't receive anything like that...I suppose being part of the AK parade was a dream though...

Back in August We took my DD to the magic kingdom for the very first time. I had my secrets printed out and in the backpack. We had already studied the things we really wanted to try to do. She wanted to wake Tinkerbell. When the park opened We ran all the way thru the park. We were one of the first ones thru the gate. Alice & the Madhatter had tried to get her attention. She blew them off to get to the castle to get to Tink's treasures. When we got thru the castle they had not dropped the ropes yet to let you thru. So we were waiting. Out walked the Fairy Godmother. She noticed Lizzie's first trip button. (got it at the hotel) She grabbed her by the hand and escorted us into Fantasyland. We went to Tink's treasures but a family was already in there. (they were not supposed to be in FL yet so they were told to step into the store.) Their oldest daughter didnt want to wake Tink since she found out that my daughter really wanted to. I was touched. The guy pulled out 3 wands so all 3 girls got to wake Tink and got their MM certificates. I looked all day for the wand so I could buy her one. The wands are actually the ones that are given out at the Cinderellas castle meals. I asked a girl if could buy one, I told her about our magical moment, She said let me check. She came back with a bag. It had 2 wands in there. She refused to take my money. Lizzie and I thanked her so much. It really helped make it a magical day. She did like playing the hidden mickey game. We rode POC numerous times. She loved to yell out when going thru certain parts.

Well, I am not as happy as I could be now that we are at the end of the YOAMD. I won't be there for the finale so I won't be getting anything.

I've been about 5 times since it was announced and thought just maybe I had a chance. This is with the last two trips being 2 weeks apart (don't ask ).

I was mindful to see if I could see anyone with DFP's but I didn't see much. I thought the world would be much more magical than it was considering it was YOAMD.

I don't think the current theme is very exciting.

Does this mean that all the magical happenings that CM shared with guests is over?.?

Well I will wait to see. I Love WDW without a doubt and nothing will affect my going but wish that aspect of it stays.

Well I just returned yesterday. This was our second trip during the YOMD promotion and I am sad to report we received no magic dreams. We never even saw someone else getting a little magic. I am a little sad-I was hoping for anything-fastpass, lanyard, anything!!!

 

[skyfired]

Just wanted to say that my family got some amazing pixie dust this trip (12/19-12/24)!!

We received Dream Fastpasses at Magic Kingdom when getting off the Haunted Mansion!!!

And then my brother got a special certificate signed by the staff at Le Cellier and a cake with a candle in it for his birthday! He also was wished happy birthday by just about EVERY cast member!

We also got an extra basket of range balls for free at Disney's Magnolia/Palm/Oak Trail Driving Range!

It was an amazing trip, and just being there at Christmas time was super!

Oh! And I saw LOTS!!! of people with Dream Fastpasses at MK, lots of the lanyard pin sets and a few of the ears- Also saw some DFP at AK!

Last Sunday (12-21) I went to Animal Kingdom for the day. I was very sad to see that almost all of the YOAMD fanfare was gone. I never saw any dreamteam members or anything. I had been trading pins during the day. I approached a cast member because his pins had caught my eye. BLue, shiny and sparkly. About that time another person came up to try and get the pin first. So we played a game and I won. I got the Mickey and Minnie YOAMD pin.
I was excited. I'm on the prowl for the Goofy one. My friend went back in 2007. Her hubby and oldest DD won the lanyards with the YOAMD pins on them. Her hubby gave his to their youngest DD. I would never take their pins. They did offer. I told them to hold onto them.

While we were there on Dec 9th my son had a "wish granted" it was wonderful...for me at least.

I was waiting by Mickey's Philharmagic and saw Kirk walk by I nodded and said hello to him. When my family came out we grabbed our stroller and went towards Peter Pan and there he was again. So I decided to walk up and ask where stroller parking was (hoping that MAYBE we were right on que) he told us two different places, so I told my DH to go park the stroller and we'll wait here for him to go on Peter Pan. So my little one traded pins with Kirk and then he started talking to my son Daniel (8) and asked if he liked Peter Pan and told him to go on the ride he had to be one of the lost boys. Then asked him if he wanted to be a lost boy and my son said, "No I don't wanna be lost." Then Kirk proceeded to give him the pledge of the lost boys gave him a certificate and walked us right on the line. It was awesome!!! I think Kirk got a kick out of it too...look at his smile!

Here he is taking his pledge and then brushing off the pixie dust...

We visited WDW over Thanksgiving 2008. On Thanksgiving day we were at Animal Kingdom. While we were walking toward the Lion King Show we were approached by a Disney Cast Member (Fer) and he asked how many were in our group. We had nine, Fer said he only had room for 8. We told him we could be 8 and would love to be a part of whatever he had planned. We were invited to ride on a float in the afternoon parade. What we didn't know was that we were going to ride on Mickey's float. It was so exciting for all of us (6 kids and 2 adults). We were given a disposable camera to take pictures while riding on the float, and had a dedicated PhotoPass photographer that took pictures of us along the way. To top it all off it was my nephew's birthday that day. What a present we will never forget.

In case you're wondering about our unfortunate 9th person- He williningly enjoyed a couple of beers at the Tusker house while we were in the parade!
