We got back on Fri. night after a 5 night stay, and we had a very lucky trip for getting dreamed! pixiedust:

For the first 3 days of our trip we did not see ONE single Dreams squad cm, though. We get to the parks early, and I was always watching for them, so I guess I just wasn't in the right place at the right time. But we were having a great time so no worries. :banana:

BUT, last Wed. we went to DHS and the magic really began. We got there early, and were in line at the turnstyles by probably 8:20-8:25, and were about the third family in the line. We were having a friendly chat about being obsessed with Disney with another couple when a cm interrupted us and asked if we would like to help open the park. As DH says, if a Disney cm asks you if you would like to do somehting, you always reply, "Absolutely, we would!" (any Office fans out there?)

Anyway, we go back into the Guest relations building and are led into a room labeled "Celebrity Lounge" and were offered beverages. We then got to go into the park before everyone, waited for our co-stars, and were the stars of the rope drop show, cheesing it up with our all important line, "Hollywood, here we come!!" Then "Tootsie" the hollywood starlet drove us down Sunset Blvd. in one of Walt's antique cars to RNR, which we then got to ride, in the front, all by ourselves! We were handed fast passes good for any attraction and were told to stop by Guest services on our way out of the park to pick up a package. It was a certificate for our "magical moment" and a photo taken of us on RNR all by ourselves, along with a handrwritten note frm the cm who picked us!! pixiedust:

This experience truly made us celebs because people recognized us again later that day. PLus, a girl waiting in line for the bus the following night at MK also recognized us!

THEN, just when we thought it could not any better, the following day at MK we were getting off BTMRR when I spotted a Dreams team cm wearing a white vest and holding a clicker, counting people. I said to DH, "Dreams team! Dreams team!" As we rounded the corner getting off the ride we spotted more Dreams cm's giving out dream ears! I was so excited i was jumping up and down and squealing like a little girl! No one else around us was NEARLY as excited as i was! Then for the next hour or so when DH asked me what I wanted to do next all I could say was i didn't care. At that point, it was all just gravy. I could not stop smiling. :goodvibes

BTMRR is now our "lucky" attraction. Back in 2006 we won dream fast passes getting off it, too. This was literally on about the first or second day of the YOAMD, and some of the cm's didn't even know what to do with them when we handed them our tabs! :rotfl:

Thanks to anyone who actually read through my whole story here! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
 
that is so awesome!!! I am so happy for you! ofcourse I read your story all the way through... what an exciting trip!:)
 
That is so AMAZING! I am glad that your trip was so Magical! We are leaving for WDW in 67 days and I am crossing my fingers that we will win a dream, even if it's fastpasses or ears (which is what I really want!) Again, congrats on all the winning, and thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I went into the trip thinking that getting dream ears would be absolutely about the best thing that could possibly happen to us, knowing of course that our chances of even that were quite slim. So when we got to be the "first family" it was like, this is way better than dream ears! Then 24 hours or so later we had the ears to boot! It was unbelievable.

Good luck to everyone else going before YOAMD is over! Remember to go to the parks early!
 
How dare you come on here and brag about your wins. Jumping up an down over dream ears - how silly and immature. Just kidding (see my posts)!! Congratulations!
 
Congrats! Glad to hear you had such a wonderful trip!
 
Congrats! We will be in WDW in a couple of months and would love to get somethin too. Don't care what it is.

Yes, I've seen at least some of your posts, and also saw that you guys recently were picked for "first family" at DHS, too! :banana: Too cool.

I guess maybe that doesn't totally count as a "dream" cuz I know they've been doing that show with randomly picked families for longer than YOAMD has been going on. But I'm still counting it because it makes me feel special. Ha! :dance3:

All I can say is I am officially a morning person now. Well, at least at Disney! Definitely not when the only incentive is going to work. Boo.

Again, for anyone going soon be sure to GO TO THE PARKS EARLY IN THE MORNING!!!
 
Congratulations!! What was the date you were picked? We were 1st at the turnstyle on 9/7 (I think that's the date--it was Sunday) and the couple who was 2 families behind us was picked for Family of the Day. Was that you?! If so, you looked great and so happy!! :goodvibes

I wish I had taken pictures but I had my camera packed away for the TSM rope drop chaos. : )
 
Congratulations to you...I was very excited about our winning ears too. And you can jump up and down and squeal anytime you want. :)

We also won a dream when we came home (I did a thread on the boards here).

Nope, that wasn't us. Our magical DHS day was last Wed., Sept. 10. We were about the third family back from the turnstyle that day, tho.

But hopefully we still looked happy, even if we weren't the happy couple you saw! :rotfl:
