Nothing...didn't even see the dream team at Animal Kingdom last Thursday. I personally did not care for AK at all. The walkways are way too narrow, no room to move or stop and see the animals, foliage, whatever.

We visited Animal Kingdom on September 8th. We didn't win anything but we did see Dream Passes that had been won.

I'm sorry you didn't like AK, LilyU. It's one of our favourites.

I think we got a dream at AK. We were taken to the front of the line for Kilimanjaro Safaris by a CM and then we were given our own private truck and driver. It was incredible....especially since it was our first time riding.

We were there on Monday. We didn't win anything from the Dream Team- however, there was a family who must have just won dream fastpasses, and apparently they must have already gotten regular fastpasses for the Kilamanjaro Safari. Well we walked up to the entrance & saw that there was a 40 min. wait. We really wanted to do it, but hated to wait that long-- the kids were hot, tired & cranky. We decided to do it anyway, and just as we were about to get in line, this man walked up to us & asked if we wanted his fastpasses!! Yes, Yes, Yes!!! That was awesome! As we were walking away, a CM went up to that mans daughter & was saying something like "since your dad just did a generous thing, we are going to give you ...... " not sure what she got, but I'm sure it was a nice gesture. What goes around, comes around!!

This past January we were in AK and walked from Asia over to Dinoland after riding Everest 3 times. Our friend with us was getting the "not feeling too well after a few times on Everest" stomache ache so decided to sit with our DD2 while DH and I went on Primeval Whirl (one of our sentimental favorites since it is the same exact track layout of the Exterminator ride at Kennywood). As we approached the entrance, a very nice CM stopped us and asked if we would like to be the family of the hour. We of course said YES!! This included back entrance admittance to Primeval Whirl, 2 rides without getting off, a Dream Certificate, and a limited edition lithgraph of Donald Duck and his nephews on the Primeval Whirl ride. The litho is very cool!!!

Later that day our friend got to start the ceremonies to open the Flame Tree BBQ restaurant and also received a certificate.

Overall a very memorable day at AK!!!

We were in AK last week and were heading into the Outfitters store. In the doorway were all the CM's and they all starting clapping. I asked one of them what happened...did someone win something....and he said yes this family had just won the $500.00 shopping spree. He said they had won it 20minutes ago when they were on the Safari Ride. They looked really happy and excited. It was really nice to see someone win something like that.

We won dream fastpasses on the Primeval Whirl. I happened to be standing in line with DD and DH (I dont ride that thing) and I noticed they were roping people off into sections. We turned the corner and our group of about 15 got the fast passes.

We also won dream fastpasses the day we went to Animal Kingdom. We were waiting in line for the dinasour ride across from primevel Whirl. It was great getting them since we were not going to ride Everest but with the passes my oldest daughter was able to ride twice with no wait. It turned a normal visit into a great visit.....

Question about dream passes: Can you use them at all the parks or just the one that you win them in? Just curious.

 

[phillyatdisney]

The dream passes are only good for the park you are in. The pass allows you to ride the rides that have fastpasses available for them....

We won dream ears coming off of the Maharajah Jungle Trek. We had overslept 40 minutes that morning and got to the park later than planned. I also had left my touring plans back home so was winging it, and was a tad bummed about the morning not going as planned. We came off the trail and there was a CM there telling us he had something for us. I honestly thought he was a DVC salesman at first and wasn't having anything to do with it. He sent us down another path and there were 2 or 3 more CM's dressed like the first. Then it dawned on me....THEY'RE THE DREAM TEAM!!!!! Still can't believe I thought he wanted me to buy a timeshare

We were there on Saturday (9/29) and our family got Dream Fastpasses at around 10:30, in the holding pen area of Triceratops Spin. I had just gotten on the ride with my daughter when I saw the Dream Squad move into the pen area and start handing them out to the next bunch of people waiting to ride. As soon as we got off, I quickly called for my husband and son to follow us and we got right back in line (there really was no line -- just walked straight into the holding area). Sure enough, we got our fastpass lanyards, and so did the next 2-3 groups who got into the holding area (by this time the line had grown as people nearby started figuring out what was going on).

We were one happy family! And earlier in the trip we were the Epcot Family of the Day!
