I when you said he forgot how old he was. I think I'd forget how I was too! [/QUOTE]

Last August I took my DD's and 3year old DGD to the Castle Breakfast. My DGD was dressed as Cinderella, shoes and all. A CM asked if we wanted to ride the magic coach elevator down with him. We said "Sure". He told us it was the only round elevator at DW and it was beautiful. When we got to the ground floor he asked if we had been to see any characters yet. He then proceeded to take us all around the MK going in back doors and special entrances. We were given the privilege of being "NEXT" at every character spot for the whole afternoon. They took pics with our cameras and theirs and spent so much time and effort with my granddaughter at each place. It was so exciting. Thank you CM Jack!!! What a magical day we had. Sorry to those who had been waiting in line for who knows how long, because we got to go ahead - but it was a DREAM!!!!

I go to WDW three or four times a year and so far haven't won a thing there. Nada. But I just got back from a five day trip to DL after not visiting for a year, and during those five days I won two Dream FastPasses and the group I was with won Dream Lanyards (I wasn't with them at the time). So now I can officially say I've been Dreamed!

WOW what a great magic moment. You didnt get an official YOAMD dream. Its considered a magic moment. That would be awesome if something like that happened to us. Not have to wait in line to see the characters.

Wanna know what I find odd. People who go to WDW several times during the yr and not win squat. But someone who goes down 1 time after not being there for a few years or a first time trip they win something or something's. Its like Disney knows. They get to be here several times so lets not let them win any thing. But HEY, its been awhile for them or its their 1st trip here, give them a prize or a magic moment. What can I say, Disney sees all and knows all!

When we were at MK in April we took my DD to BBB and she LOVED IT! After we got out of there we decided to ride the carousel. When we were in line people kept telling her how pretty she was and other little girls were telling their parents she was a Princess. She felt VERY important. When we were waiting in line a man walked over and asked if we could help him. We said SURE! He said he was looking for a girl in a blue dress to lead the carousel by being Honorary Princess and riding Cinderella's special horse. He wanted to know if we knew of such a girl, :lol: I looked down and my DD was saying " I have a blue dress on".... So we got to go to the front of the line and he had her stand up infront of everyone and announced she was a Honorary Princess and they were going to have the pleasure of riding with her. Everyone clapped and she got a certificate. She was VERY excited and it was just MAGIC. Perfect timing and a PERFECT MOMENT.

Thank you Disney, it was really like a dream.

I even have a picture of our Moment:

My friend and I won Dream FP's in front of the Tigers on the exploration trail in AK at 10:12 on 5/9. We were also given free drinks, Mickey bars, Strawberry bars, and soft serve at 3 different times during the day (friend had his bday button on). The topper was being pulled from the line at FOTLK for VIP seating. We were sent to the exit and sent in before the doors opened to anyone else. I've never had a day like this. I've been to Disney over 150 days since the promotion started. The friend I took with me had never been to AK before and now he thinks this is an everyday thing.

That is just TOO sweet!! How cool for your DD!! I bet she was on Cloud 9 for the rest of the day!!

kmab00 your daughter is darling!! Happy Mothers day!

 

[tracyll1967]

How cool for both your daughter AND you. What I know after winning a Dream prize is Disney has a computer that pops out WHAT is going to win and WHERE and WHEN.

I haven't read the whole thread - but I would like to know if adults and teens get wishes too. I would love for my family to be "wished" - especially for dd and dh as it is their birthday time. A little pixie dust never hurt anyone!

On May 7th, when we got off of BTMR, we were all nabbed and given lanyards to return to the MK after the park closed for a park to ourselves for an hour. So, while the fireworks were going on, they got us together, approximately 1000 people, in Tomorrowland with a DJ, and let the park empty, then we had free range of the park from 9:30 - 10:30.

By the way it was my wife & I, no kids, if this helps in the numerous stragies for figuring out the magic.

It was a blast! Thanks
Disney

My wife and I have won a plush Mickey and Minnie, a lanyard, two dream passes and a mouse ear hat.

No big prizes but they are cherished just the same.

On May 22nd My mom,my 2 daughters and I were crossing in front of the Finding Nemo Musicial in AK and a Dream lady stopped and asked us if we were going to see the FNM,we told her yeah we were thinking about it,and she said that she had a VIP pass with VIP seating that she'd just love to give to us if we'd accept. We said SURE bc it is my 4 yo dd's fav movie We were able to sit up front in the middle of the theater,and the characters ran right passed us alot. Marlin asked my 4 yo dd did she know where Nemo went She was SO excited!!

While in WDW in August 2007 for our family vacation and my son and daughter-in-laws honeymoon, we received Dream Fast Passes in Epcot. What a surprise as I had entirely forgotten about it being the "Year of a Million Dreams". We were so surprised to be among those picked as we got off our ride! I will be going in Sept for my birthday and am actually hoping to be lucky enough to be picked again for ANY prize!

I just discovered this entire forum tonight while I was planning my family's Disney vacation in July...and I immediately signed up! This is like my Mecca. And this particular thread all about the YOAMD is amazing [it took me a bit to figure out all the acronyms!]! It makes you feel so happy and excited about the kindness that people can express for one another...and seeing as I'm going to be attending Boston University's School of Hospitality Administration next year with a goal of one day being part of the Dream Team/Squad, this is like giving candy to a kid!

I do have a question though...how do you know which cast members are part of the Dream Team? Do they wear something different? I would love to just see them in action...it would be enough to see someone else's day get made...I'm already at Disney World, I don't need anything else! :]

 

[hygienejean]

Wow! Welcome to the Dis!

The Dream Team dresses differently than the cast members do. They had on tan pants and blue shirts (I think) and they carry a good sized black bag that holds their goodies. Get on a ride around 10:10 -10:15 b/c they do pass out a lot of stuff around 10:30 for some reason. that's when I got my dream fast passes one day and my DH got them (dream fast passes) at another park the next day. ( got them exiting a ride and they surprised us!)



Good luck and have FUN!
