Last week we were at AK waiting in line to see Lilo and Stitch, and I noticed a small group of people in an area off to the side of the main path where you can see some animals. I realized what was going on and my two daughters and I ran over there. The Dream team was handing out lanyards, and we were able to get a set. Then, on our last day, Sunday, my daughters and I were in the MK so they could ride Splash Mountain for the hundredth time, and I talked them into going to Thunder Mountain RR. As we were walking over, we spotted the DT walking up the path that leads to the exit of the ride. We followed them, but I realized they were going in to the exit, so we ran around to the front, rode the ride quickly, and received dream fast passes as we exited. We had a great trip!

I don't know if this was an OFFICIAL dream,but to me it was.

My mom and I were shopping at Mickey's Mart and we picked up a few items and then picked up a graduation Mickey because I just graduated from Middle School. When we went to pay for it we found out it was green marked so you had to have 3 other items to buy that.

I went to go put it back and when I came back my mom told me,the cast member said to bring it back.

We thanked her so much for letting us get it.

When we got outside we checked the recipet and saw the lovely cast member did not charge us the money for the graduation mickey.

Thanks.

Hi! I am not 100% sure if this was due to the "Year of a Million Dreams" or not. In May we booked a trip for the end of August/first week of September. It will be our FIRST EVER trip (hubby and I plus our 16 year old), staying at All Star Music Resort, 9 nights (7 nights initially), with the free Disney Dining plan. Shortly after booking our trip online (with Disney Travel) we received an email from Disney. We were given a FREE UPGRADE for our entire stay, from one room at All Star Music to a studio at Saratoga Springs Resort (complete with a mini kitchen with a fridge and microwave)! Initially we only had booked 7 days but after the free upgrade I ask if we could add more days and at what rate. We were able to add 2 more days at $92.00 each, to stay at SSR and including the DDP! WOW! We are thrilled and anxiously awaiting the day we drive down (Ohio to Florida)! Hopefully we will win in the park but if not, we feel we have won already! WDW seems so magical anyway and it is a dream we have had (to be able to go) since our son was born so this family of 3 is very happy!

We got a suprise pink iced cake at Liberty Tree Tavern in Oct '06. The CM's rang bells and said we were the family of the night and they were celebrating our Unbirthday.

On Sat, we got an upgrade from our standard view reservation at WL to a courtyard.

But the best I've witnessed....was yesterday. Coming off the Dinosaur ride in AK, a family behind us was awarded a trip to Spain ! Big wig disney CM's were there with a video camera.....the family didn't even seem too happy about it ? It was odd....the one disney CM said " so, are you excited ?" Heck....we would have been bouncing off the walls !

Love the unbirthday surprise and upgrade but I know I'd be in the minority in that I'd be kinda bummed about a trip to Spain I fear airtravel greatly and just to do the 3 hour trek by plane to Disney is about all I can handle I don't see myself ever going overseas if I can help it!

Friday 8/3 from 10-10:45 Dream Fastpasses given out at the standby line exit to BTMRR. I went through the fast pass line to ride and exited and got nothing!

3rd time down during this celebration and nothing!

Other guests have passed prizes they weren't using to us but 'nothing' from WDW. Last week, we actually saw the prize patrol twice as well.

Add all disclaimers to this post and not going there with plan on winning anything but special night in suite, etc would be nice.

We were at LTT for dinner 10/10/06 and the family right next to us got the pink unbirthday cake. Do you remember the date you were there? That would be too funny. We were the Captain Hook, Wendy, Tink and Peter Pan family for the MNSSHP.

?????Standby line exit??????? What do you mean? Everyone exits together, don't they? Or do you just mean the standby line?

WHEEEE!! YOAMD is extended for another year -- my thread can live on for another year! It is almost like winning a dream for me!!

I can understand this kldmom2000. The funny thing was, the folks that won, were not American. Can't place the accent, but maybe Spain just wasn't a big deal to them ? I have a friend who's dd worked at WDW. She said there is a specific formula that disney has for choosing it's recipient winners. They choose a specific time/placement on ride/often certain color of clothing. I didn't know this and found it interesting.

Hi Tiggerrn2 ! I know the exact date---it was a Thursday and it was Oct 5. It was a great night for MNSSHP if anyone was there ----the crowds were not bad at all. It would have been neat if we were there the same night.

Big Thunder has 2 seperate exits. There are 2 train travks that have seperate tunnel exits. You'll notice them next time.

I think it's sad all those posters who complain because they didn't get anything. Come on...that's what makes it so special and exciting! So so many people walk through Disney gates daily, and it's such a random thing to win something. So to expect to win something, and by being let down you're showing that you do indeed expect to win something, you're taking the magic out of it for yourself!

We've visited Disney 5 times this year so far, & our 1 experience with YOMD was that they let us ride Tower of Terror again at the front of the line--but there was no waiting anyway in the lines! I was shocked to be picked from the exit line, & I never in a million years expected to win something, nor do I expect to win anything else when we return!

They've extended YOAMD for another year?! Oh my goodness that makes me so happy!!!

We went this past April for our Honeymoon and did not receive any "official" dreams either...but we were just as happy when we returned home!!

However, extending the theme for another year just gives us another shot to win a night in Cinderella's Castle!!!!

I have been Dreamed twice through the mail not at the parks. I have gotten two laynards. We send in post cards everyday to the Year of the million dreams giveaway. We never been dreamed at disneyland but that is okay. With them extending it another year we plan on going back in November. If it's meant for us to get dreamed it will happen.

My husband and I and our 9 month old son just got a dream granted. Our first day at animal kingdom we went up to the ticket window to buy two one day passes to the park. The very nice guy behind the counter named Doug granted us a magical dream. He handed each of us a 4 day park hopper ticket for free!! He said Disney world has just granted you a magical dream. Enjoy your magical wish. What a great start it was for our trip. We were both so shocked we couldnt thank him enough!!!

Hi Cher! Is your name cher or is it Cheri like mine?

I think your dream is too cool! I had no idea they were doing anything like that for the YOMD....did you get a certificate saying you received a dream? I hope I get something in 36 days!
