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

[Lileigh]

Last October/November, I kept being given fast passes for random attractions. It was wonderful!

I am going with a group of friends next week, so we shall see. I am hoping for something special to happen to a friend of mine - she has never been, so it would be truly a surprise for her

I am soo glad to hear of some of your dreams, my sister was dissapointed that she didnt win anything but we still had an exceptionally good time.

We won YOAMD Mickey Mouse Ears leaving where you did for dinosaur bones in AK from the dream team!!!

Our DD woke up the bears for the Country Bear Jamboree and was awarded a certificate and a fatspass for Splash Mountain (the really cool thing about that was the day that we used it the Fastpass machine wasnt working, it was HOT and the line had to be at least 2 hours long!) we walked right on it!!!

DD fell asleep in her stroller and I got comfy on a bench and DH was going to go on Space Mountain and as he walked up another guest said "Any single riders need a Fastpass?" He was a happy guy


We were let on Nemo from a side entrance a few times when we were in that building seeking shelter from a downpour outside!

I'm excited to hear about all these wishes that were won! I'm going down Aug 17th for 2 weeks so I'll let you know if I got anything!

We won YOAMD EMH at MK on June 9th coming off Big Thunder Railroad. I started a thread about this.

DD also got a dream at MK on June 13th. We went to MK and dd wanted an ice cream. We stopped at the ice cream stand just next to TL speedway and the guy asked if she wanted to have a magical moment with him. He asked her to name 5 princesses and she did. She thought that was her magical moment but when we went to pay for the ice cream he said it was on him. That it was their magical moment.

We upgraded to annual passes because we are going to be there in March again. I'm hoping we can get an extra trip in before the year is up so who knows maybe we'll get lucky again.

SUBSCRIBING
We are going in Sep for my sons wish trip. I can't wait to see if we can spot others getting dreams!!
We are also planning bringing some things like glow sticks and notes to pass out to add to the magic. This is a first for us, so to be able to have my sons wish granted is awesome, but to be able to go during YOAMD and possibly see others getting that extra touch of magic is REALLY exciting
Can't wait to read more

Quick trip report from MCO---My DF and his DW and DD just called to say that they had FOUR YOMD dreams happen this past week!!! 1st was DD(6) was selected to get up and announce the Little Mermaid show was about to start (she receive a YOMD certificate for this--and it was signed by Prince Eric and Ariel)! 2nd---DD(6) was asked to get up on stage at MGM's Playhouse Disney. 3rd was at Le Celier---DD told CM it was her dad's bday yesterday, which it was--and he was given a button, was sang to, and then a telephone was brought to his table and he was told he had a call---it was Goofy wishing him a Happy Bday! 4th was today leaving ASMo, a CM asked DD if she enjoyed seeing Mickey and Minnie and she said, she REALLY loved PTOC the BEST---in just a minute, the CM came running with a POTC shirt just for her...she is wearing it right now! HOW COOL---they sure received the royal treatment!!!!

We seemed to do well with the YOMD. Of course, we were with a large group with 4 kids under 6.

1. We were taken to the front of the line at Splash Mountain. Three kids were laying on the ground and DH and his brother started joking with the CMs.

2. DD was asked to dress a felt board Tinkerbell in a shop at MGM. They gave her a certificate for doing it.

3. My DH helped a handicapped woman who dropped her cane. The woman and her husband had been given a special pin pair earlier in the day. One pin was to keep and the other was to give to someone you saw doing a good deed. The couple gave us the other pin.

4. My mother in law, sister in law, and kids were given fast pass cards for all of the rides in MGM on the day they were there.

I heard that the WDW events last 13 months from October to January, we hope to hit YOMD again in November 2007.

Just curious--has anyone won prizes by mail lately? We just started sending in postcards last week.

 

[LMCT88]

I am still sending, but haven't won anything recently, I was wondering the same thing myself.

During our January 2007 trip, we got THREE "dreams" granted. First was at Epcot, where 3 of our party, including myself beat the cashier in Figment-Tac-Toe (yes, they even count this as a dream . . . I admit it, it's been my lifelong passion to be purposly lost to at tictactoe by a 50-year-old woman at Epcot). But hey, I'm not complaining, I still got a blue certificate. Our other dreams were much more magical. The first was a free Tinker Bell pin from another Guest (they were given two, one to keep and one to give).

The other (and perhaps most magical of all) was getting the honor to ride Cinderella's horse on the MK carrousel (it can be identified by the gold ribbon on its tail). The CM even announced us to the whole crowd and had a prosession for us and everything (although it did take him a while to finally locate that horse )

***MAGIC SPOILERS AHEAD!!!***

Although this next one isn't an official "dream come true", the most magical part of the trip for me was seeing Mickey move his lips at the Castle Show! We were there on one of the first days of the usage of this new technology so I didn't know it was there, and it's truly amazing!!!

Although those are small dreams, it will still be nice to look back years from now and say I was an official winner/participant in the "Year of a Million Dreams" and even prove it with my honorary "beating-a-50-year-old-woman-in-tic-tac-toe" certificate.

Does anyone know how particular Disney is about the size of the postcards? I looked for a pack of them at Office Depot, and only found 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size. They are all white with blue trim. I've only mailed a few out so far, so I don't know if they'll work. I just CAN'T wait until September to be granted a DREAM...I want one now.

So does anyone know?

 

[Bobsdisneymoney]

I don't think Disney is that picky, because I have had friends that have won using the small cards. BUT, I have had 2 of mine sent back by the Post Office. I guess you can try and see how you do. I just found some old post cards that I hadn't used and I am sending those in.
GOOD LUCK!!

We were lucky enough to receive several things in the year of a million dreams. We were at the Animal kingdom (we are a family of 5 and traveled with another family of 5) and when we were eating at the counter service (I forget which one) they annouced we were the family of the hour and we got a free dessert. Again that night we were riding the tricertop ride over and over again while waiting for the husbands to return from everest and were deemed the family of the hour. The CM let all 8 of us play the whak-o-mole game for free and gave a prize to the winner. My 2 year old won a big dinosaur that he slept with all week! Then the CM let them play the game over and over again because she knew we were waiting for the husbands.
We experienced The year of a million dreams again at MGM. My 8 year old DS was watching my 2 year old DS (who was sleeping in the stroller) in front of the big hat, while I was in the hat working the pennie machines with my 6 year old DS (once again we were waiting for the husbands to return from a coaster). When we returned to the stroller a CM came up to us and said some really nice things about the 8 year old DS and how she watched him check on the little one and fix the blanket so he was covered. She then gave him a special Tinkerbelle pin and one to share with a friend. I never thought an 8 year old boy would be so proud to have a Tinkerbelle pin but he was proud as a peacock
