just back and no YOAMD for us

[luvmyfam444]

we saw a few "Blueberries" around - pretty much few & far between - we saw them both days hanging around the exit of Pooh (just 1 person both times) & then maybe 3 others in MK the 2 days we were there....saw way more of the research people = who didn't want us either
Dh says he say one Dream Team member at HS but I missed her -

Needless to say we didn't say anyone win anything - but we passed 1 family on Tues with FP & 1 family on Thurs with them & that's all we saw....

We even purposely walked in front of & stopped trying to act like we were looking for something or to talk far away with the Dream Team member between us so they'd surely see us - but that didn't matter.

Oh yeah - we talked to one for a bit at Aladdin - she was standing around talking to another CM when my girls walked up & she commented on their cute shirts & we talked a minute or two....still NOTHING~

So we have concluded we don't fit the stereotype they are looking for.... OH well - hopefully they'll keep this going on forever - 'cause its fun to anticipate something even if nothing happens...

Don't take it personally, they do not chose who gets the dreams
They are told when and where to go.

We were just there from July 9th thru the 15th and on Friday the 11th
we were eating Dole Whips in the rain and having a great time, and a Dream Teamer named Jessica came up to us and was like "Hey, what are ya'll doing?"
At first I was thinking "yes, we are winning something" But I really think she was killing time waiting on instructions. She was very cool. She sprinkled my ds's with pixie dust, and gave them pirate treasures. She spent a good half
hour talking with us, then she was gone

There is no stereotype for the prizes like Dream FPs, hats, lanyards etc. It's literally being in the right place in the right time. You could be a six-toed bald martain with horns growing out of your nose and you'd still win.

I'm hoping when I am down in Sept that I don't spend my time being too conscious of the Dream Team folks and just enjoy my time there. Of course I hope I win something, like most of us do, but I'd rather be caught by surprise ,like I was last year. My upcoming trip is way too short -4 days- to be hoping to win. Winning for me, this year , is that I get to go to WDW at all!

But I AM.......and I STILL didn't win~

That's because you're not a TELEPATHIC martian!

of the Comcast On Demand shows. The team was thrilled to get to give out the prize. They didn't know until about 5 minutes before it had to be handed out. The show detailed how the whole thing is done.

Disney has had, since opening day of Disneyland, a reputation for rigging it's contests. I think that's why people are questioning how the Dreams are being given. My boys commented that on every show they've seen, and on the day we were at MK, it's amazing how the family shown is the typical All-American dad, mom, and kids. That sort of thing does seem odd.

But, when we were Dreamed (ears at Soarin') I guess I was too excited because the CM assured me that it was nothing personal, they had to give ears to whomever rounded the bend at that time. I was tempted to pout, lol, but I decided to chalk it up to them having been prompted to make sure guests know there is nothing they can do to "earn" a Dream.

Sorry you didn't get Dreamed- I think a lot of folks will be glad when the year ends an a new promotion of some sort begins- simply because Disney has raised peoples' expectations so high that there's just no way they can fullfill all of them!
