We won dream fast passes over 8 times. It got to the point that we were embarrassed about it. :rotfl2: Once we walked through Interventions and got them. We then went off to ride Mission: Space where we were given them again as we entered the pre-show! (We gave away one set to a family we saw a little later). Our favorite memory is that we first won them at Animal Kingdom at Rafiki's Planet Watch. Right afterwards, my wife felt our baby girl move for the first time! We joke that Audrey must have realized it was an exciting time too.

We also were chosen as a "VIP family" for American Adventure while on our anniversary trip and given a certificate (although I think they might do this regardless of the celebration going on.
 
I didn't get anything :( Not that I was really super upset about it, but I really just wanted a pair of the ears. Once I found out I couldn't buy them, that really bummed me out lol. I mean, of course the castle stay or fastpasses would have been cool, but really, I just wanted the ears lol.
 
I sorta wanted the ears too! haha but after my fastpass luck, that was a tad bit selfish on my part!
 
I got many sets of ears and 2 lanyard/pin sets for mailing in postcards.
 

Nothing nada zip zilch.........after 6 visits during the giveaway. Guess we are just unlucky.:sad:
 
Cool! Oh I just remembered that my older two daughters got those Tinkerbell pins that cast members could give away. They loved thta!

I did get 2 sets of Tink pins. Forgot about that. I thought you meant dream ears or fast passes. soooooooo I did get something.
 
We got ears getting on to Buzz Lightyear. What was funny was we were going to go buy ears right after.
 
I wont a few of the ear hats from the post cards.

While at the parks, I won NOTHING.
 
Yeah....pins and lanyards....always was hoping for those super fast passes ha, especially during the Holidays :)
 
lets see... maybe 4 trips: won nothing... I wanted a dream fastpass so badly. not just to use but to have afterwards...
 
We won ears getting off Splash Mountain; we won four sets of ears when we were home. Our biggest surprises was when we returned from our trip this past September there was a box in my foyer. I thought it was one of the two shipments I had sent home of souvenirs, etc. It wasn't. It was a box of Dream Giveaways. The box consisted of a stuffed Minnie and Mickey in their Year of a Million Dream outfits, a photo album, a photo frame, a jumbo coffee mug, a can of jelly beans, a lanyard and pin starter set, a tote bag and a gift card. I figured the gift card was probably $25 and tried to look it up online. It indicated online that I had to call a toll free number to get the balance. I did as instructed and the gift card was worth $385.00. I immediately called Disney and had it applied to this year's trip.
 
Not a darn thing. Three trips during the promo & nothing from any of them.

However, we did just have a 'magical moment' last week. My boys were made honorary Lost Boys. When we got off Peter Pan, 2 CMs were there. They asked how we liked the ride, etc. and told the boys they had a surprise for them. They had the boys recite an oath then they sprinkled them with pixie dust and gave them certificates saying they were honorary Lost Boys. We also got 2 front of the line passes we could use anywhere in MK. It was quite cool. We ended up not even using one of the passes because all the lines were so short.
 
Well, we were one of the lucky ones. While sitting on a bench at Downtown Disney I was approached by 3 cast members telling me I was a lucky winner. After a few questions they took me to one of their offices inside the Grand Californian Resort. After we got there they told us that we won the $500 shopping spree at the World of Disney store! They had us to meet back at the store at 3:00. When we showed up we were greated by 2 corporate types, a 'shopping assistant' plus a Disney corporate photographer who took our picture the whole time we were shopping. Very fun. But $500 goes FAST...!
 
We went three times durring the year of a million dreams. We won once. Year of a million dreams pins and lanyard. We won them entering One Mans Dream at, at that time MGM Studios. I collect pins so I loved it.
