We had to try and keep a smile (easily done) but not break out in laughter (not easily done) when Baloo would do his shimmy next to my face with his coconut bra and grass skirt. Im sorry I couldnt stop laughing....so much for waving.

I couldn't find the leaf pictures. Are they up? I'll bet that was fun!

me and my daughter were in Epcot on October 12th - she was 13 - and for some reason no matter how many times we are in epcot i can never figure out how to get from imagination to mission space - well this time my forgotfulness paid off - as me and my daughter were discussing (very loudly i may add) who knew how to get there - we were greeted by 2 wish team members who gave us Dream FastPasses for Epcot for the day - granted they did make us run for them but it was all in good fun - after we got them we notice they just stand off - kinda hiding - but yelling we got fast passes and as the families find them they ask them to do something crazy for them.

me and my daughter were never so happy in our life and being able to fast pass mission space was awesome.

we are going back this september and hopefully we will be lucky enough again to have a magical moment.

We were picked to be the "First Family" at the American Adventure in Epcot on 4/26/08. We were able to sit upstairs in a special seating area in the gallery to watch the Voices of Liberty finish their performance. Then we were allowed into the theater before everyone and could pick any seats that we wanted. They announced us as the first family of that performance and gave us a certificate. It was a very nice experience.

Disney really treats you like royalty dont they? I cant even begin to explain to people how Disney treated us. It is more than I ever imagined.

My DS (9) received a magical moment certificate on the cruise line...He loves the guitar, and so we were in the Promade watching the live band (Wave) when the guitarest John invited him on the stage to play with him, he actually let a 9 year old handle the guitar and foot pedal, this was the highlight of the entire vacation, it even beat out the jet ski's. Later that night we found the certificate in the fish holder, and then the next night he was allowed on stage to help play with a blow up guitar. Sometimes people wonder why they pay more for Disney, but all of these Moments are the reason.

I agree...it's so totally worth it!!!

April '07my DD ended up with several pins from cast members. the first was outside Epcot. When we were heading to the buses our 2 sons stopped to pin trade with a cast member. When he noticed my DD did not have any he asked why. When she said she forgot her's in the room at the resort he gave my daughter a set of tinkerbell pins. The set says has one to keep and one to trade. 2 days later at MGM, we were purchasing items in one of the stores and the cast member asked her if she could name all 7 dwarfs. When she did he asked her which of his pins she liked the best. He gave her the pin along wih a YOMD certificate. Then the next morning my DD slipped on the wet floor in the restroom at the poly after our Stitch breakfst. She only skinned her knee but while I was cleaning her up another mother who saw her fall went and got a cast member. Even after I said she was okay the cast member had us sit while she got her first-aid cream and a bandaid. when she came back she also had another set of tinkerbell pins. YOMD is great and it's nice to get a 'a little magic'.
Even before Million Dreams there have been experiences with castmembers who have made our children's day special. And they were things that did not cost Disney anything more than a few moments of time. 2 years ago when we were heading to a Princess lunch in Norway a cast mamber stopped my daughter and ask 'Belle' (she was wearing her custome) for her autograph. He pulled out an autograph book and my daughter's feet hadn't touched the ground for the rest of the trip. When we went on the 'Mexico' ride the cast member bowed down to her and called her princess. I also know my kids love and enjoy when the castmembers come out and play while waitng for the parade to start. And one occasion all 3 of my kids still talk about, is one morning we took a ride down mainstreet on the double decker bus. When we got to the end it was nearing the time for the show at the castle to start. Instead of getting off the driver asked us to join him and watch the show. Sometimes just the little gestures have the biggest magic. Even on the cruise. Our servers went out of their way to make our trip special.

I've made it up through page 78, I think (love it when things at work get mindless ). Everyone's stories have gotten me even more excited about heading to the World in three weeks and two days. It'd be great to win Dream FastPasses or the Dream Ears. But I haven't been since I was 10, so I'm sure I'll have a great time no matter what.

Still, keep the stories coming!

Hey Everyone,
My family and I went to Disney this March and won two dreams I think...lol...The first one may not have counted, but anyways, on our second day my brother who is 9 begged for us to go see Lights, Motors, Action and as a joke we were giving him a hard time saying no one wanted to sit there and watch it so we weren't going to go but we did go and that made his entire trip. Well while we were there he was picked to drive the remote control car. I have never seen a child smile so big! My mom and I were crying bc he was just so excited. The funny part had to be when the emcee asked him how old he was and he says "7, no wait 8, IM 9" the poor thing was so nervous he couldn't remember how old he was. Once he realized he wasn't really controlling the car he turned to the emcee and said "Im not really driving it am I?" and the emcee says "Nope" but he laughed through the whole thing! Afterwards he got a Lights, Motors, Action Pin and a certificate that had the Year Of A Million Dreams Logo on it. So thats why we thought it was a dream, we could definately be wrong lol

Our second dream were Fastpasses. We recieved them when we got off of Thunder Mountain. It was very cool to get them, but we didn't need them at all. We went the first week in March and there were barely any lines for anything. So we just saved them as souviners!

Well those were our dreams! I hope more dreams come true for everyone on this board!!!

Your brother got a Magic Moment. It's similar but it's not done via computer randomization, only by the CM's discretion if he/she has a MM to give away.
