While searching the newswires for this supposed discount A-Channel Barrie is talking about, I found this:
- First Canadian family selected to stay overnight in Disney's Cinderella
Castle -
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL, Feb. 14 /CNW/ - 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.
