We just got back tonight.

We were in AK on tuesday Aug 27th. We did breakfast at Donalds, and we were walking past Triceretop Spin. I saw the Dream Team standing there, so I made the kids go on the ride (though we were rushing to get FP for EE). Well, as they got on the ride, they won Dream FastPasses!!!
When they got off the ride, the Dream Team gave me and DH them too, so we could go with them.
We were so excited!!!!

So it gave us fastpasses for EE, ITTBABug, KilSafari, Primeval Whirl, Kali, and Dinosaur.
It was so great!! We were so excited! So of course, we kept looking for them everywhere after that, but never saw them again!

We had arrived before the rest of our party to the all-star sports around lunch time. It was rather empty in the food court and we were hungry, so we went to go and eat. After we sat down a CM came up to my son 4, at the time, and began just talking with him. He then asked if he would like to be the special chef of the day. We of course said yes. They put a paper chef's hat on him and rolled out a cart in the middle of the food cart and announced the chef of the day. On the cart was large choc. chip cookies, ice cream and about every topping you could imagine (m&m's, choc. chips, gummy bears , sprinkles...etc). He proceeded to make the largest, messiest most disgusting looking concoction you have ever seen. BTW it was delecious, we all ate the sundae and were so excited for the rest of our vacation. What a magical start to the vacation

Ok update I had posted about how I called FW to have towel animals put in my brothers cabin for the kids.My dn was so happy but told my brother now all she needed was her auntie to go on rides with her. Well DH and I flew in for along weekend trip. Sunday we planned on surpiseing the kids at the castle. The youngerst one I think can smell DH because he keep telling his dad I bet uncle John is here. luckly my niece never heard him. So when they where at the castle I walked up behind her and tapped her on the arm the why I alsways do. I then stepped to the side and she told the CM we enlisted to help with a sad face I thought you where my auntie, she is the only one who knows how to do that secert tap. The CM told her that she learned it from someone and asked her if she wolud like to meet the person her taught her. My neice ask mom and dad if she could meet this person and when they said yes they all walked over to us. My neice cried for 10 minutes she was so thrilled to see me. So I think the year of a million dreams is working

So.....I've been sending off 6 postcards a week since February (except on the UK bank holiday days...) in the hope that I'll win something....even my DD and DBF have been sending them in for the last few months. I hadn't won anything till....

THIS MORNING!!

I opened the door to the postman to receive a parcel and the return address was the Dream Squad in WDW!! I HAD MY DREAM EARS at last!!! Been a little hyper active all day....you'd think I'd won the castle stay lol!! I'm just so happy!! Can't wait to take them to WDW in Dec 08 on our next trip to get my name put on them!!

We went last November (2006) and from my experience, they really do such a great job at making sure EVERYONE has a great time at WDW. Whether you win or witness someone win, you are always having a blast. They sure do put the spotlight on people who win which is great for those who do. But I never once felt left out of the celebration!

We went in the control tower of Space Mountain and my daughter was shown how everything works. Then we went to the front of the line to ride. So many great things happened and it added up to a factastic trip.

Just returned from a trip to WDW. We were there from 9/4 to 9/8. We saw the Dream Squad on several occasions. We were awarded dream lanyards/pins off Mt. Everest on Thursday morning. Yeah! We saw lots of dream passes, lanyards and a few ears throughout the parks. We saw more on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and fewer on Friday in MK.

 

[dano164]

It was our last day and our dream included a talk with a dream maker and our 3 kids received some pixie dust and a certificate indicating that we received a dream.

Princess_Melanie, thanks for posting a picture of you with your ears. I kept hearing everybody talk about them, and I had this weird idea of what the ears with clouds on them looked like.... I thought they were Mickey ears with "stuffing" (like insides of quilts) around them.

OMG, my daughters received dream lanyards too coming off Mt. Everest on Thursday morning. You must have been on the same train as them! I usually ride with them, but that morning I had a bit of a headache so I opted not to ride.

Some of the other things they won were: They were Chef of the Day at Donald's Breakfastosaurous, the dream lanyards I mentioned above, they were each given a Tinkerbell pin and we were all given dream fast passes after riding Space Mountain on Saturday morning

I'm so glad so many of you have won. I've given up hope in winning. I've sent postcards (one for DH & one for me) (except for the weeks we were at Disney) and we haven't won. Even when we were at Disney we didn't win. Oh well! At least I get to go to Disney (and not be at work!)

Congrats to all the winners so far!

Even happier now I got a lanyard and pin set in the post too!!! Fantastic cheer up when I got home last night after a really bad day!!!!!!

 

[DisneyLover75]

Sorry I haven't made my way through the whole thread yet, but these are really great stories!

I just have a question. I am going with my friend in December, and do they give wishes to adults too, or only people who have kids with them? Of course this is the ONE YEAR I'm planning a trip to WDW without kids.... lol

 

[threegoofys]

We went back in January 07 and were sitting on the bench with goofy on main street. A dream maker came up to us and gave us one on one time with Cinderella. We met in the old camera shop at the main entrance and had about 20 minutes with her. The kids were just awstruck to be stand there with her. She acted the part very very well and gave autographs and did dozens of pictures. A very cool gift!

 

[peanutzmom]

We were at EPCOT the end of June -- a spur-of-the-moment stop while driving back home from my parents house in Georgia. I din't even know about this new campaign until we were in line for Soarin' and a Disney employee gave everyone in line a pair of "Year of A Million Dreams" mouse ears! W were really surprised and pleased, especially since we told the kids "no souviniers" because this was an unplanned one-day trip! The kids love their ears and can't wait to bring them back for our October trip!
