Hi all here is what has been sent to DW:
During The Year of a Million Dreams Celebration, Disney Cast Members to Award a Million Magical Dreams




From an overnight stay inside Cinderella Castle to a “Golden Fastpass,” dreams big and small will come true at the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort during The Year of a Million Dreams – a first-of-its-kind celebration of the individual dreams of Disney Park Guests.



The year-long celebration, beginning Oct. 1, 2006, at both resorts, will feature the debut of an incredible line-up of new attractions and entertainment, plus new technologies that allow your Clients to customize their Disney park experience.

And, for the first time, during The Year of a Million Dreams, Disney Cast Members will award one million dreams – both large and small, including many “money-can’t-buy” experiences – to Guests selected at random through a unique “Disney Dreams Giveaway” promotion.

“This will be an unbelievable celebration unlike anything our Guests have ever experienced,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

The “unbelievable” includes the creation of over-the-top, overnight experiences for winning Guests at both East and West Coast resorts: a royal bedchamber inside Cinderella Castle at the Walt Disney World Resort and a Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Resort, both expected to be complete by January 2007.

Dreams Large and Small


A day of royal treatment will end with a night of enchantment inside Cinderella Castle for a different lucky guest each night. Cinderella’s royal bedchamber, now under construction at the Magic Kingdom Park, will allow Disney Guests to stay overnight inside the park and enjoy a view shared only by Tinker Bell. The lavishly decorated bedroom will be located in a space originally planned as an in-park apartment for the use of the Disney family.

And for a lucky guest at the Disneyland Resort, each night, the all-new Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Hotel will pour on the Mickey charm and include magical views overlooking both Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park. The extraordinary penthouse will be decorated in all things Mickey, with finishing touches by none other than Minnie Mouse herself.

In addition, during the year-long celebration, other Disney dreams both large and small will be awarded in the “Disney Dreams Giveaway” promotion, such as:


Traveling to each Disney resort around the world to serve as grand marshal in a Disney parade
A variety of unique Disney vacation experiences
Admission to special parties and other extraordinary experiences in the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Theme Parks
Private meetings with favorite Disney characters
Or, a “Golden FASTPASS” ticket with unique access entitlements to some of Disney’s most popular attractions



New Attractions and Entertainment Planned for The Year of a Million Dreams
Throughout The Year of a Million Dreams celebration, both the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort will debut major new attractions for your Clients to enjoy:

Disneyland Resort in California


Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage – Inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Finding Nemo, this all-new “E-Ticket” adventure will take your Clients on a real (and unbelievable) underwater excursion. (Summer 2007)
Rockin’ Space Mountain – Space Mountain is getting a new twist. Thanks to new lighting and technology, Disney’s classic attraction will become a new experience in which rockets will “rock it” through the greatest concert in the universe. An all-new soundtrack will fit the exciting twists and turns of Disney’s rocket classic. (Spring 2007)

Walt Disney World Resort in Florida


The Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot – Nemo is lost – again – and your Clients aboard clam-mobiles join his friends to search the world’s largest saltwater aquarium for the playful clownfish in a stunning display of new entertainment technology inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Finding Nemo. (Late 2006)
Finding Nemo - The Musical at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park – Also inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Finding Nemo, the Great Barrier Reef comes to colourful life in an all-new musical filled with spectacular scenery, elaborate puppetry and music by a Tony-Award-winning composer. (Late 2006)
The Laugh Floor Comedy Club at the Magic Kingdom Park – Your Clients will find the power of laughter in an engaging and interactive new adventure inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. as they match wits with the one-eyed hero Mike Wazowski and his friends. (Early 2007)

Additionally, special entertainment and programs will be in place at the parks and resorts to accommodate the desire and wishes of would-be Disney Princesses, pirates, adventurers and space explorers. Your Clients will be able to customize their visit to a Disney park to pursue the “Dream Track” of their choice with on-line planning tools and in-park technology to help them become the hero or princess they’ve always dreamed of being.
