Okay, so not at WDW but at YOAMD in DLC yesterday my son and I got dream fastpasses from the Dream Team. . .
It was kind of a wierd start to a Disney day because we usually hoof it to the biggest rides in the park when we first arrive (we are AP holders for DLR). This day we decided that since it has been 3 years since we have been on Peter Pan Flight, we were going to do Fantasyland first. Since we had done part of Fantasyland on Tuesday, this day we were going to do those things that have the longest lines. Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, Alice, Storybookland Canal boats. We did all of those by 8:30 in the morning then my son decided we should go to IASW. I don't like to do IASW when the big rides are there beconing me but he said LETS GO. Okay, listen to the Kid. He is, after all, why I go. There was maybe a dozen people on the ride and we got a boat all to ourselves. The CM said enjoy your private cruise. I laughed and told my son we were being set up. He just rolled his eyes at me. We went on the ride, singing the song as we went and then got back to the exit. As we were going up the stairs of the exit I saw them. . .the blue shirted ones wearing messenger bags. I looked at my son and said WE ARE GETTING DREAM FASTPASSES. As this is spring break time in California, we were getting really excited. As we got off the DT handed us the dream fastpasses, explained how they work and asked us if we had hoppers for DCA (we have APs so no problem there). She said that if we didn't have hoppers we could use our DL passes and our dream fastpasses to gain entry to DCA for the day. I thought that was a VERY COOL feature of the dream fastpasses. Especially for those touring with non hopper tickets from out of town. It made our touring during this very busy time of year much more relaxing and we had a great time. I did notice that on Tuesday I saw a lot more dream fastpasses than on Wednesday, however, Wednesday was INFINITELY more crowded than Tuesday. so that may affect the number of dream fastpasses they actually hand out.
