I just found out the other day that CMs are not going to be left out of the dream giveaways! While we are not eligible for the same prizes as the guests such as the night in the castle and such, Disney is doing a separate program just for CMs called Backstage Magic! I don't know what sort of things they will be giving away, but they've promised us that it will be exciting.

Yesterday and the day before, all CM cafeterias were offering free soda and coffee. (Small, it's true, but it's only the first day. :) )
 
Wow, that is great!!! So CM's and Guests get to win each in thier own ways. I get neither, I work at the Disney store so I am not elligible where we are affiliated with Disney, but obvoiously are not cm's of WDW so not eligible for that either :(
 
I think thats awesome that they are doing a CM reward as well :thumbsup2 . Keep us posted!
 

With what they have to put up with on a daily basis from the "Oblivions", they truly deserve it!

I have witnessed more than one occasion where a guest has been downright hostile to a CM and the CM never lost their cool! Just keeping their heads in situations like that deserves a reward, not to mention all the really nice things they do for us every day.
 
:thumbsup2 :banana: :banana: :banana: Very happy to hear CMs are getting some special magic. CMs are probably as big a reason as any that I am hooked on WDW. CMs rock :rockband:
 
Yea for the CMs! Y'all deserve it for making the magic for all of us!
 
Now *that* is cool! My DH and I have been trying to think of little things to do for some CMs without looking like we're doing it to get something in return. I'm glad they've included them in the extra magic.

I've been trying to come up with something as well. I hope the genuine 'thank you's' are appreciated so far. :blush: I am amazed everytime I visit how friendly most of the cm's are. I can't imagine dealing with some of the things I see happening there. :sad2:
I hope these little dreams are inspirational to all of the cm's who deserve a little magic of their own. :wizard:

How do you figure? Disney Store is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company. We are a subsidiary of TCP and Hoop Retail operating under a licensing agreement with Disney Consumer Products. We aren't affiliated with them much more that Target or Walmart are. From what I gather from the Eligibility it does not exclude TDS employees as we are not involved in the administration, development, production or distribution of the Giveaway and any advertising or promotion agencies associated with the Giveaway; (Taken directly from the Eligibility rules below). You may want to email or call Disney to find out for sure. If you were told otherwise I would be interested to hear by who and what the reasoning was. :confused3


ELIGIBILITY

Void outside the fifty (50) United States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and where prohibited by law. Persons in any of the following categories are NOT eligible to participate or win prizes in the Giveaway: (a) persons who on or after May 1, 2006 were or are directors, officers or employees of Sponsor, Creata, or their respective parent, subsidiary, or affiliated companies, any other individuals or companies engaged in the administration, development, production or distribution of the Giveaway and any advertising or promotion agencies associated with the Giveaway; (b) persons who on or after May 1, 2006 were or are on-site directors, officers or employees of any commercial establishment at the Disney Properties (as hereinafter defined); and (c) persons who are immediate family members (defined as spouse, or biological, adoptive or step- mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son or any dependent under applicable income tax law) of any person in any of the preceding categories, regardless of where they live, or who reside in the same household, whether an immediate family member or not, as any person in any of the preceding categories. Except as otherwise set forth in these Official Rules, prizes won by a person who is a minor in his or her state, province or country of residence ("Minor") may, in Sponsor's sole discretion, be awarded to his or her parent or legal guardian, and, in the case of prizes that, in Sponsor's sole discretion, require winner verification, that parent or legal guardian will be responsible for completing the verification process and executing all "Prize Claim Documents" (as hereinafter defined) and otherwise complying with all requirements imposed on winners set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Minor is the winner of any prize in which the winner is permitted to travel to, stay at or attend an event, site or destination, such Minor and any guest (as applicable) must be accompanied by his/her parent or legal guardian on such prize and, as applicable, the parent or legal guardian will be considered one (1) of the allotted guests.

So Angie, what about the PARENTS of CMs...are we eligible for anything? Somehow I don't think so, but I'm not really sure.

CM's are getting entered into a Castle suite /Mickey Mouse suite drawing!
 
Very cool Angie!! Glad to see they aren't leaving you guys out. Free soda, I say whoo hoo to that!
 
aww that's really cool! me and my DF were JUST talking the other day about if we thought the CMs could participate or not.

No sorry immediate family of a CM are not eligible, from the rules: defined as spouse, or biological, adoptive or step- mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son or any dependent under applicable income tax law, of any person in any of the preceding categories, regardless of where they live, or who reside in the same household, whether an immediate family member or not, as any person in any of the preceding categories.

Even a CM's roommates, whether they work for Disney or not, are not eligible.

The Magic Backstage is really cool, they are doing little things, but much like the in park experience the Cast is not told anything in advance so that it is a suprise. The soda was nice, 2 days of free soda, no restrictions...that was great, can't wait to see what else they have in store. As mentioned they are going to do a drawing for one night in the Castle (and Mickey Penthouse for DL) for a lucky CM as well... It is nice that the cast is included, even though we can't play the game in the park, it means a lot that we they are thinking of us as well.
 
It makes me even happier :goodvibes to hear that the CMs will be getting a little extra magic, too !!! :wizard:
After all, the magic flows to us through you !! :love: :smooth:
 
That is great, Angie, very happy for you all, you all make it so special for so many.
 
and here i am seasonal and 400 miles away. grrrrr.
