Year of Million Dreams -- anyone else get something yet? Post your wishes won here!

[sunny04]

Here's a few things we saw that were new on our trip that people got ---

* Of course, tons of people had the Dream Fastpasses
* LTT is celebrating "unbirthdays" now as part of the celebration, we saw a family in each section get a cake for this while we were there.
* Lights, Motors, Action, now gives a limited edition pin to the child chosen to run the "RC" car; A family is chosen to help direct, and start the show, they sit in director's chairs etc.
* Not sure if this is for the celebration, but it's new since our last trip - One Man's Dream offers you a trivia card to fill out as you go through, then you get a magical moments certificate for finishing
* Garden Grill - this one we actually got - One family at lunch, and one at dinner is chosen to be the Gardening Family of the Day. You get a commemorative thing, and the characters are all at your seat and interact throughout the meal. It was really special.

I was in a bit of a mood till I found this thread. It's just what I need to make my day.

My boys and I went to Disney's MGM Studios on October 1st. I had just finished explaining the YOAMD to my oldest son and saying I wish I would get picked to have my dream come true. I told him my dream is to visit every Disney park.

We decided to go to the ABC Commissary for a late lunch. I ordered our food and then we moved up to pick up our order. When the CM presented our tray of food he said "Congratulations, you have been chosen as the family of the hour as part of the YOAMD". I almost passed out!!!

He said "You've won...three free desserts". OK, let me just say that I try to be grateful for all blessings I receive. And while I was happy to be selected, free desserts does not compare to a trip to all the Disney parks

He told me they had chocolate mousse, caramel flan and strawberry shortcake. He asked us what we wanted. Since there were three of us and three desserts, I told him I would take one of each.

We sat down and took a sample of each dessert. I could not believe how nasty these desserts were They all tasted the same...bland. Having just returned from a 7 day cruise on the Disney Magic and living on their desserts, I expected better from Disney.

Our YOAMD experience was far from dreamy!!!

Here's wishing other people have a better experience!

I'm not sure if it was considered one of the "wishes", but on 10/2 just before the MNSSHP, we were in Fantasyland and my 6 yr old DD was about to ride the carousel. She had on her Belle costume and was all decked out... a cast member approached us and asked if my DD would mind being chosen as the Honorary Princess of the day in Fantasyland!!! My DD was thrilled! They made a big to-do about her at the carousel in front of everyone announcing her as the Princess of the day and then they had her ride Cinderella's royal horse on the carousel! She was elated and I was so thrilled because up until that point, most of the attention was being paid to my other DD who turned 4 while we were there.....

My non Year Of A Million Dreams expereince, was at Millionaire.

I really wanted a Ring Of Fire, and a CM came out and was getting ready for the trivia. I said "I'll be your best friend, if you give me a ring of fire" and he said "I have lots of friends", and went back inside. After a few mins, he came back out and placed a RoF ticket in my hand. He said "Have a magical, and millionaire day"

What is a "Ring of Fire"??

During our recent trip (September 17-29) we had three little bits of extra magic:

1. Waiting outside Carousel of Progress a Cast Member approached my two daughters (10 & 8). He chatted briefly with them and then handed them a piece of paper. It turned out to be good for Two Hot Fudge Sundaes at Auntie Gravities. This was around 7:30 PM, so they had them to eat while we watches Wishes on Main Street.

2. On another day at MK: I didn't witness this one, but my wife saw a cast member approach our daughters while in one of the Main Street Shops. She handed each of them a BlowPop.

3. Walking through the area in front of Rock and Roller Coaster at MGM: A CM approached our entire family. After chatting for a bit, he took us in the back entrance to RNR and gave us a brief tour of a few interesting things behind the scenes. He coached us on how to pose for the RNR picture. He then put us at the front of the line. When we emerged from the ride he took us over to Tower of Terror, again gave us some behind the scenes info and put us in the front of the line again. He asked the ride loader to make sure and put us in the front of the car. When we emerged again he chatted a bit more and went his way. Very nice guy whose name I've unfortunately forgotten. He was just about to leave on a 2-week vacation to Canada.

Our girls were so excited about the extra attention - it really made the trip all the more special.

Woops one more thing - he also got the CM at the gate of Tower of Terror to give us two passes that were good for up to 4 people to use the fastpass line. He asked us to pass them on if we decided not to use them. We were headed to Downtown Disney that night so we picked out a couple of families of four as we left the park and passed them on.

Doesn't it feel good to pass things on?

In July my dad and I were playing in the arcade at all-star music just for fun. When we were done, we gave our tickets to a couple of kids who were there

I gave a donut to a janitor whom I had a "fight" with last year since he was being really mean to me. Does that count?

Sure, that counts!! That's too funny!!!!

 

[PopArtGal]

He was really mean and offensive to me..

But hey, let's let bygones be bygones

So, find YOUR pixie dust and maybe a bit of compassion for people who don't have a view of life through rose colored glasses.

Many people have more downs than ups. They may be dealing with depression or PMS or... You don't know the story behind the person or their posts.

I am VERY happy to see other people win, but I'm also honest enough to admit that it stings a little that it's never me. I respect the other posters HONESTY and COURAGE to post what they feel regardless of people like you trying to shame them.

And regarding the post about KARMA...I have always gone out of my way to be kind to others (at home and on vacation) but it has never come back to me.

Here's hoping my luck changes and my friend and I get a little bit of pixie dust thrown our way.

It IS exciting to read about the YOAMD prizes they're giving out!

I was thinking the same thing.
Can't the negative ones start their own thread???

My sister is a CM at DTD. She told me that a family came into her store last night. The were given golden fastpasses. Everyone in the ride queue (she didn't tell me which one) received one. Pretty cool!
