how do you get to be on millionaire?

[susieeQ]

I havent been to WDW since they started Who wants to be a millionaire.
So, I have a few questions. How do you get picked to be on it?
And, is the prize money real?

Thanks

Hi,

This should answer all your questions. And unfortunately, no; they don't give away money! You get points as you'll see on the link:

Just like on the regular millionaire show...there is the fastest fingers round. But everyone in the audience has equal opportunity to get in the hot seat. While that person is playing in the hot seat, the entire audience is answering their questions from their keypad. The audience member with the highest score/correct answers is the nest one to go in the hot seat. You win prizes and not cash. THe top prize is a Disney Cruise for 4.
Good Luck!
Jennifer.

Unless there is a carryover from a previous session, the first person chosen for the hot seat in a new session is the first person to answer the first question correctly.

After that, the person who answers the questions correctly faster than everyone else in the audience is the one chosen for the hotseat. Of course, the person in the hot seat has to miss a question before anyone gets there. Sometimes you have to answr a lot of questions correctly very quickly to be the one. Sometimes you end up next to be chosen (they show the seat numbers of the 10 fastest) but the buzzer sounds before anyone misses or the person misses a question too late for someone to start over. Each session starts over again.

Best wishes -
