Were they tink pins that were exactly the same? If so, for those, they are a YOAMD prize I believe. You're supposed to keep one and give the other one away to someone.

We got lanyards with pins coming out of the Haunted Mansion at the MK on our second day (back in January).

Two days later, when my god-daughter (age 8) and I were having dinner at the Garden Grill at Epcot (on a very cold evening), Dale (or was it Chip?) came over to our table with the manager and gave my god-daughter a slip that let us walk up the exit of any one ride - but it was only good for that day (and it was already well after 8:00 PM). My GD wanted to ride Test Track, so we raced over there after we'd finished eating and she proudly handed her "ticket" to the greeter at the ride. The greeter looked very sad and said "I'm sorry, but you really don't need that...there's no line". We literally walked up and got directly into a car - they didn't even bother to do the pre-show.

There really wasn't time to use it on anything else at that point, and since it was only good for that day, she kept it as a momento.

The other thing we got wasn't really, officially a "Year of a million dreams" item, I don't think. At AK, while I was buying a jacket, my GD was looking at these tiny plush characters with magnets in them. After I made my purchase we walked off down the street, and after a couple hundred yards my GD noticed that one of the figures had attached itself to her "First visit" pin. So we turned around and walked back. When my GD explained what had happened and gave it back to the lady in the store, she was very nice and gave my GD a set of two pins. She was very proud of them.

I won 2 Magical Moments on 2 different occasions recently. I was the first family for both Camp Minnie-Mickey and Character Landing. I got group pictures with both sets of characters, and also got a certificate for the Camp Minnie-Mickey one. It was awsome! Here are pictures:

I've read that some people have received magical moment ears in the mail. Is that completely random also? Or, is there something you need to mail in such as postcards or e-mails?

We arrived at Epoct around 10am Saturday May 31 for the last weekend of the flower and garden festival. We forgot to grab a map and hadn't been to Epcot in forever, so we just wondered into on of the Innovations places and there they were - just handing out those pretty ears same as Budcollector posted pics of. I had forgotten about the Dreams promo, so that was a nice surprise. Then while standing in a 50 minute wait line for Soarin, a guy came up to DH and I and gave us his fastpass tickets that we used right then and there - and he wasn't even from Disney, just another friendly visitor!

In July we were eating at a restaurant in Disneyland with my family and my SIL and her 2 sons. Just as we were being seated, a stranger gave her the remainder of a booklet of meal tickets. We used it to take about $60 off our bill.

Thanks to whoever you were - you made my day with that!

while it would be awesome to win something while we are there. I feel like my family already has won with us being able to go to Disney World this year! We went three years ago and we are so looking forward to getting away from the "real world". So many people dream of going and we are blessed to go again. This is our million dream.... maybe I can make it happen again in a few years .

My mommy friends and I were at the front of Cinderella's castle getting a picture taken when CM started chatting. We were asked to be the Grand Marshalls for the Family Fun Day Parade. Imagine, four moms waving too the crowds while hubbys were home in Pa watching children.

Yes, that's exactly what they were - and what she did!

You used to be able to walk into any Disney store on Main Street and ask any CS for "I made magic" stickers.
They were free and the object was to give 2 stickers to anyone you felt could use little magic. And they in turn could give one to someone. You kept the last one for yourself.
Does anyone know if those stickers are still available?

We got back last night from our week vacation. We didn't receive any of the official dreams, but we did get:
free ice cream bars for all 4 of us at a cart in Epcot
extra fast passes when we got Pooh fast passes twice
a free child's meal at 1900 Park Fare breakfast
and our favorite..... Fifth Row center seats for Nemo in AK when there was standing room only as we walked in. My daughter was very sad that she couldn't see. A CM, Chris heard her and said that he was granting her wish and took us up front. It was wonderful. Both girls loved it. that was a great wish come true for us!!!!!.

For some or the other reason I and my was not able to visit Disney land. But luckily we are going to visit next month, which is like a dream come true.

We are so excited about the trip....!

Friends of mine are down in WDW now. She called last night to tell me she got a dream. They were in the AK and were approached with EMH passes for AK that night. She said it was awesome. They all got front seats at the Lion King show among getting to go on attractions like Dinosaur, Expedition Everest....I know it made their night.

Just back from a wonderful week in WDW,

We were given MK Dream fastpasses on Wednesday June 25 at 10:15am while we were leaving my now favorite ride LOL It's a Small World

No one wanted to ride it hehehe, but we all knew we would get out of the hot sun and there was no wait , so we went

My 2 DDs received many pins (usually tink, so they would trade them) from CMs

For anyone going soon the dream squad was out in full force at each park ( we saw people with dream fastpasses and ears at every park, we even saw a dream given to a family at WL they were the first family on the boat for that day (it was also Wed) they were handed a balloon bouquet and plastic swords, plastic wands and some other little trinkets.

We received Dream Fast passes back in January at MK. We were coming off of Peter Pan's Flight.

 

[Honeymooner300508]

We stayed at the Walt Disney world resort for ten days in June (for our Honeymoon), we met the "dream team" twice.
The 9th of june we received magical mouse-ears while coming off the "crush & gusher" at Typhoon lagoon.
And we got an autographed "pooh & friends" magical moment certificate while we were having a character breakfast at the christal palace.
Other than the yoamd prizes, we got a lot of little "magical moments" awarded to us, because of our Honeymoon button!!
It was great! (And the ears went home with us to holland!)

DH and I were on our anniversary trip last summer and received a little moment of magic. We received 2 free fudge-dipped, candy coated marshmallow treats from the candy shop at DHS. I have a feeling these little acts by the CM are typical and are just more noticed now b/c of the YOAMD. It is so nice and adds so much, even a little treat like we got! CM's love to see a button like "Happy Anniversary" or 1st Time Visitor. We got so many congratulations and well-wishes. It makes you feel like everythings even more magical!
