Canadian Family Wins Big at the
Walt Disney World Resort in Florida

First Canadian family selected to stay overnight in Disney’s Cinderella Castle

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Feb. 14, 2007) -- A Prince Albert, Saskatchewan family made history Tuesday night as the first Canadian guests to win a night's stay inside Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Park as part of the unique Disney Dreams Giveaway. The Day family gained the key to the new Cinderella Castle Suite during "The Year of a Million Dreams," a Disney spectacular celebrating the dreams of guests at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California.

Danielle Day and her family spent Tuesday night in the regal dwelling place -- the world's most exclusive resort, with only one room available and no reservations accepted -- through the Disney Dreams Giveaway, which awards extra-special dreams through a totally random process. Now, nearly every night for the remainder of 2007, other eligible lucky guests will win a similar stay.

The Day family was honoured in a special ceremony, dined at Cinderella's Royal Table restaurant, and bed down for the night amid the splendour of Cinderella Castle Suite some four stories above the surrounding Magic Kingdom -- a salon, bedchamber and bathroom off of a private marble-floored foyer, all replete with rich details. The Suite was created from unused space within the Magic Kingdom landmark once envisioned as in-park living quarters for members of the Disney family.

Danielle and her family were on their first ever trip to WDW when they were approached by the Disney Dream Squad and awarded their prize that was randomly determined by the Disney Dreams Giveaway computer to award the Cinderella Castle Suite.

“It was the first day of our first family trip to Disney. We were on the first attraction and it was within the first hour that we were selected to stay the night in the Cinderella Castle Suite! We were treated like royalty," explained Danielle Day. "We called our friends and family from the suite that night and said, ‘We are the only guests inside the Magic Kingdom! When we wake up tomorrow we will already be inside the Magic Kingdom: nobody else can say that except for us!”

For the first time, Disney is awarding more than a million Disney dreams large and small -- including many money-can't-buy experiences such as a night in the Cinderella Castle Suite -- to eligible guests and mail-in participants selected through a random process as part of the unique Disney Dreams Giveaway. During the celebration that continues throughout 2007, guests will be recipients of Disney dreams such as unique Disney vacation experiences, admission to special events in the Disneyland and Walt Disney World parks, a Dream FASTPASS badge to enjoy some of Disney's most popular attractions, exclusive pin and lanyard sets, and travelling to each Disney resort around the world to serve as grand marshal in a Disney parade.

Can't be in the parks? You may still have a dream-come-true through a mail-in entry -- details at www.disneyparks.ca <http://www.disneyparks.ca/> . For example, mail-in winners could win prizes such as the Disney Vacation Club membership, grand marshal of a Disney parade around the world, exclusive trading pins or Dream Mouse Ears. Some prizes, such as a stay in the Castle at Walt Disney World Resort or the Mickey Mouse Penthouse at Disneyland Resort, require same-day use, so mail-in winners will receive a prize of comparable value.

Do they only pick FAmilies with kids?

That's what it looks like to me

Its a carefully worded press release. Read it again very carefully.

It says 'family' over and over but doesn't say 'kids' or ages of the children or anything. That 'family' could be her lesbian lover and brother-in-law. It doesn't say... so there's now way for us to know.

I don't see any mention of her husband... or quotes from him. And they usually get quotes from the husban and the kids. Which leads me to believe it may be a non-traditional family.

Also -- there's no mention of exactly what attraction they were on.. merely it was their 'first' attraction. It's a pretty vague press release.
