Just back, scored a Dream Fast Pass

[bryiank]

We just got back and we got a Dream Fast Pass on Christmas Eve on Buzz. I was wondering if anyone else from the forum was there too? We were there from the 20th to the 26th and the timing was perfect. Surprizingly the MK was not crowded at all Christmas Eve morning. We got a lot of riding in and when we got to Buzz they were handing them out. We at first wanted to save them but with the building crowd in the afternoon we started using the passes as needed. I was number 1200 and I think they handed out 50 more after us. We had a great time at all the parks.
The evening of the 20th when we arrived we got an impromptu behind the scenes tours because the parade was ending and they made all those entering go behind main street into tomorrow land. That was kind of interesting. That was the busiest time we saw during the week. It may have gotten that crowded again on Christmas Eve after we left at 6pm but we just couldn't stand/walk anymore that day. I thought that they maxed out the attendance sometimes on Christmas eve? Does anyone know if that happened this year? B

We just returned as well (Dec22-27). We recieved a Dream Fast Pass on Dec 23 at HS we had just come off of Toy Story Mania and as we rounded the corner they were passing them out to people as they exited the ride. My DW screamed like a little girl!

I will say the parks did not seem as crowded this year as last year. We were able to go to all the parks and ride everything with no problems (I think the longest wait time I saw was on Soarin 120min but that seems normal). We had a great time and hated to have to come home.

I'm going to move this over to our year of a million dreams forum.

Congrats on your dream fast pass.

Hey, Briank! So glad you mentioned that. We left MK after the Holiday Wishes fireworks on Sunday, December 21. We were shuttled toward Main Street from Tomorrowland, but were directed to a street BEHIND the shops on Main Street that is obviously just for employees. It was so cool! We didn't even know it existed! There was a banner reminding cast members to stay in character all the time & my 13-year-old started to snap a picture but was quickly told that no picture taking was allowed. The hidden street emptied out right by Tony's Town Square Restaurant. It was an awesome time saver as we were pushing a stroller and Main Street was grid-locked!

what is a dream fastpass?

 

[Buzz Litebeer]

It was a prize offered during the "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion (a Fastpass good for immediate one-time use at each Fastpass-enabled attraction at a particular theme park).

It is no longer available.

I took a picture of that same sign but no one said a word to me.
