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

[kmab00]

Has anyone won anything in the mail lately? At one point it seemed people were winning the ears and lanyards, including myself, but I haven't read of anyone winning anything in the mail. I wonder if it's worth mailing in the postcards anymore, maybe they stopped giving out prizes through the mail

I won a pair of ears about 2 months ago in the mail. They are different looking ears, though!!

Last time I won in the Year of a Million Dreams mail off (The Lanyard Set), it was hand delivered by certified mail....but this box was just placed inside of my mailbox. I also haven't mailed off any postcards in AGES. The last time I did it was probably about 5 months ago! I also didn't mail off the postcards regularly. I would mail one maybe every 2 weeks...usually when I had to mail off a water bill or an electricity bill (everything else is paid online).

I opened the box to find.............

...........A set of ears! Except they look different from the ears that we won in the parks in December!

The card that came with the ears...

The inside "Congratulations" note

I just HAD to put them on!!

Comparison of the 2 sets of ears. Maybe the navy blue ones are new for 2008?

The backs have the same writing, just a different print!

And of course my puppy dog (Pixie) just HAD to be in a picture, too!!

The pics are great Kmab00 I guess I'll keep sending my postcards in since it seems you can still win that way.

Great pictures!

I'm still sending in postcards for DH & myself. Even though we didn't win anything last year - I expect the same this year.

I was down in Oct. of 2006 when it first started. We get a few free snacks but nothing extreme, I never even saw any dream team members I hope to see some when I go down in May!

We won Dream Fastpasses in MGM.
We were clueless about the dream team, we just thought they were in there fixing a ride.
We were sooo suprized when they gave us the fastpasses.
We couldn't stop playing with them the whole day!

I had a friend just return from WDW and he didn't get any dreams. Out of blatant ignorance I decided to ask him how it worked (as if I already don't know ). He said that the dream team folks were easy to spot because of their blue shirts and backpacks but the real trick was catching one of them.

He went on to tell me that if you saw one of them you'd have to chase them down and ask them if they could grant you a dream. If they said yes then they'd grant you one of three dreams. I can't remember all three but one was the night in the castle and another was $1000.

Could you imagine the chaos down there if these were the rules???

"Look!!! It's the dream team!!! GET 'EM!!!!" <<<insert stampede here>>>

This is also the same friend that got to the parks everyday by early afternoon and wondered why he had to wait for EVERYTHING!!! I even gave him my copy of the Unofficial Guide. I actually almost went with him and his family but was able to go on a vacation with my own family to Hawaii instead. I would have absolutely lost it if I was there!!!! Honestly, after talking with him yesterday his list of things that he missed out on (including Epcot ENTIRELY) was much longer than things he saw. I really felt bad for him.

I guess this just shows that it's worth it to do your homework...and set an alarm clock

1st thing- We were at the MK on 12-06-07 and won the landyard and pins. We went on spalsh mountain first thing after they opened and the dream team were waiting at the end of the hallway passing them out.
2nd thing- My nephew and I were in the christmas shoppe at MK 12-06-07 and they asked if he wanted to decorate the tree by the register. He got his name on the top of the tree, a certificate with his name on it, and a disney world ornament. It was very cool.

My son won at EPCOT on March 14 2007 while he was on Mission Space. I read these messages all the time and never reply but now I had something cool to share I thought I would. We choose April 1st because of Spring Break for the kids. This way they are only missing 9 days of school as opposed to 3 weeks.
