When does Million Dreams begin and 50th end?

[calena]

I thought the 50th runs until the end of the year, but heard/read somewhere Million Dreams is beginning earlier. We are planning on being in Disneyland late October - probably Monday October 30th. Will the 50th still be on or what is the status of that?
Thanks for the info. Debbi

The majority of the 50th will be done by that time. There will more then likely still be a few things- the 50th movie with Steve Martin, possibly the gold cars on rides, and a few other little things here and there. I've heard conflicting reports on the fireworks. Some say the current ones will go until the new year, others have reported the possibility of a new Halloween firework show.

I dont know if anybody, including Disney, knows exactly what is going to happen!

I was told by a Disneyland rep. That the 50th last day will be Oct 2, and then the Million Dreams will start Oct 2nd.
But I don't still understand what the Million Dreams will be other then its a contest of chances for everyone to win things but I haven't read anything about there being any extra parades, fireworks, etc. But who knows maybe there will be!

Ive heard that the 50th ends like on the 2nd of October, and the Million Dreams will begin immediately after probably on the 3rd. But what i've been told many times over is that they will still have some of the 50th events such as the 50th parades going on until the end of the year.

During ‘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 to Come True During a
First-of-its-KindCelebration That Also Features New Attractions and Entertainment at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts



BURBANK, Calif. (June. 7, 2006) – From an overnight stay inside Cinderella Castle to a Golden FASTPASS, dreams big and small will come true at Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts during Disney’s “Year of a Million Dreams,” a first-of-its-kind celebration of the individual dreams of Disney Parks guests.



The year-long celebration, beginning Oct. 1, 2006, at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, will feature the debut of an incredible lineup of new attractions and entertainment at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts, plus new technologies that allow guests to customize their Disney park experience.



And, for the first time, during the “Year of a Million Dreams” celebration, Disney cast members will award a million dreams – both large and small, including many “money-can’t-buy” experiences – to guests selected through a random process as part of a unique “Disney Dreams Giveaway” promotion.



“Throughout this incredible celebration, special dreams and unique experiences once thought impossible will be awarded by our cast every day,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “Disney parks are always the place where dreams come true – but even more so during the ‘Year of a Million Dreams.’ ”



The “impossible” 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 Walt Disney World Resort and a Mickey Mouse Penthouse at Disneyland Resort, both expected to be complete by January 2007.



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 Magic Kingdom, 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 Disneyland guest, each night, the all-new Mickey Mouse Penthouse at Disneyland Hotel will pour on the Mickey charm and include magical views overlooking both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure parks. 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 parks.

· Private meetings with favorite Disney characters.

· Or, a Golden FASTPASS ticket with unique access entitlements to some of Disney’s most popular attractions.
