I just got my mousesavers newsletter and this article caught my eye. Can you imagine....I think I would have probably fainted.
Anyone know this family, or hear of anyone getting lifetime passes?
Disney Theme Parks Welcome 2-Billionth Guest
At 9:02 am on May 2, Disneyland lived up to its reputation as "The
Happiest Place on Earth" when 12-year old Emmalee Mason of Colorado
Springs, Colorado became the honorary two-billionth guest to visit a Disney
Park.
Amid a blast of colorful streamers, a musical fanfare and a parade of
congratulatory Disney characters, Emmalee was whisked away to
Disneyland's iconic Floral Mickey for a special ceremony. Surrounded by her
family and familiar Disney pals, Emmalee seemed to be in a simultaneous
state of shock and delight, repeating astonished sets of "Wow!" "Wow!"
"Wow!"
In commenting on the day's ceremony, Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt
Disney Parks and Resorts, stated: "This is truly a highlight of our
continuing global 50th anniversary celebration. The world over families use
words like 'magical,' 'dreams,' 'wonder,' and 'imagination' to describe
our five destination resorts around the world and now thanks to Emmalee,
our honorary two-billionth guest, we can add the word "Wow!"
Andrae Rivas, the 2006 Disneyland Resort Ambassador, presented Emmalee
with a giant golden key and a lifetime pass to all 11 Disney Parks
around the world, including Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Tokyo
Disney Resort in Japan, Disneyland Paris Resort in France and Hong Kong
Disneyland Resort in China, in addition to Disneyland Resort in Southern
California. As an added surprise, the entire family of 10 (Emmalee, her
mom and dad Mike and Michele, five sisters, one brother, plus a baby on
the way) also received lifetime passes to Disney Parks worldwide.
Rivas also gave Emmalee a one-of-a-kind proclamation designating her as
the honorary two-billionth guest to visit the Disney Parks over the
past five decades. During her special day Emmalee received a private photo
session with her family and Mickey Mouse, an exclusive tour of
Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure Park, a special ride on the
Matterhorn Bobsleds with Mickey, and was feted as Grand Marshal of
Disneyland's 50th anniversary parade.
By the way, two billion people represents nearly the combined
populations of China and India!
