FINALLY got Dreamed! (Plus a few other questions!)

[actionvaughn]

After having been to DLR approximately 7,498 times since the Year of a Million Dreams started, I finally got a Dream Fastpass today. It's a shame since I was there solo trying to get a little pin-trading in and just about every single ride in both parks were walk-on or little wait. I'll be pretty honest, I was walking around sulking that I hadn't ever won, when I noticed two families walking out of the GC entrance in DCA with fastpasses. I walked over to see if I could get lucky, and and acted surprised when the CM congratulated me. Made my day, but the lanyard is on my to-get list now...

So two question for those more knowledgeable than me. I always notice certain people with yellow stitching on their ear hats- is this only available if you pay the $7 in the shop on Main Street?

We have Deluxe AP's, but we were told and read in many places that we could upgrade anytime to the Premium... How does this work and what's the price difference that you pay? Does it factor into how many days you have left on the pass?

Thanks in advance!

Congratulations on your Dream! We tired this a couple times..... we saw the dream squad giving out as you exited a ride so we got back in line but didn't get on the ride... we just missed them. I think anyway you win/are dreamed it great! We have never been dreamed at DL though we go often but did reacied one dream while at WDW this summer at Epcot - fast passes.
