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

[LisaRay]

ok, i have have question about the fastpasses that are being given to use for the day. My DH and DD are more brave and so at times they will ride the bigger things while DS and I do the tamer things. We don't like to split up for long just enough for them to get in a ride but what if one of us, either them or us is chosen to be given this fastpass that is good for the rest of the day! There are 4 people in our party 2 adults and 2 kids and what if they give it to just 2 of us. Then what are we going to do the rest of the day as the 2 that didn't recieve it will be stuck in stand by lines the rest of the day and riding the rides seperate from the family.

I don't know if i explained that well but those of you with an older child and a younger child might understand what i mean. My kids are 7 & 16!

We just got back early this morning and we had a few magical moments happen to us. My little brother pin traded a cm right by the haunted manson and she gave him a free candy bar and a magical moment card. We went to get Fast passes for Test Track and suprise fast passes for mission space poped out that had to be used in 30 minutes so We were really excited about that. My Family and I were at downtown disney in the big disney store there and we were all pin trading again and a cm said come with me for a magical moment, So we all followed and they led us all into the center of the store to the hat station and said you have one minute to get the most hats on your head. go So we all raced to get as many hats on as possible. I ended up with two because my big pile of hats fell off after the time was up and my little bro i think had 6 or 7 maybe but we got magical moment cards for that also. Then the last thing that happened was my dad bought a poster from RRC and had it delivered to our room, When we went and picked it up there was a free 5 buy 7 photo in the bag with the poster and it said free 5 buy 7 for magical moments. That was cool.

I loved reading this thread. I cannot wait until December. I think one of the prizes should be to be chosen as a member of the Dream Squad and award a prize. How extremely cool would that be to pass it on!!

many things being handed out for the year of 1 million dreams thing. Many people had those "ultimate" fast passes at each of the parks (not us) and I even saw some individuals get special passes to dance/participate with the characters in their street shows (again not us).

I did however get Fastpasses for Thunder Railroad and gave them away to a family walking into the park. They were surprised and I hope they used them. We also had 1/2 case of bottled water left and my husband finally found a family willing to take it off our hands. We were going to have to dump it since we couldn't take it on the plane with us. Although no extra magic happened to our family, I was very happy to pass extra pixie dust to other families.

Well lets just say it was our first trip and definately not our last. We were the family of the day in MGM and chosen to start the Lights Motor action show. We were on the big screen and it was totally cool. I have pics to prove it. LOL The next day we were at Epcot and were chosen to be the family of the day in China and Japan. How cool was that. In China we started the show Expressions of china and were able to say Hello and thank you and bye in Chinese. SUPER COOL. In Japan we were just walking through and they told us we were chosen as their family of the day. My daughter was in HEAVEN both times as she loves Mulan and my husband loves all of the Japanese culture.

On our last day, We went to MGM. It was my mothers birthday, I had made those Foam crowns that I decorated for us all (girls) to wear for the day. Throughout the day we started giving them away to little girls in need of extra magic. We chose one little girl who had an older brother, one little girl who was scared in Little Mermaid, turned out it was her 3rd birthday that day. The last one was a little girl (7) walking with her grandma, they were pleasantly surprised and shocked, all of them. We loved it. When I was getting desparate looking for the perfect little girls a CM asked me if I was ok. I told her what I was doing, she was shocked and pleased and was eagerly looking for a Tinkerbell pin some kind of RAK type pin. She couldn't find one and said sorry. Didn't bother me any.

I would love to do that, as long as it was okay with them that I would be blubing like a baby throughout!!

Oct 1st...
We were the FIRST group of people to receive the Cloud Ears on Primevil Whirl. It was so cool!!! I wore them that whole day and when we got back to CSR even the CMs were asking me about them!

We went to WDW the week before the actual promotion started, but we sure felt the magic!!

We were chosen to be in the AK parade and got to ride on the float!

We were chosen to be the Soarin Family of the Day and got to ride the ride first without anyone else.

My sons received Magical Moment cards for playing games at rope drop with the CMs (Epcot) and for helping to shut down the Boneyard at AK.

Son was chosen to be in the Pirate Tutorial with Capt. Jack Sparrow

My son went to what he thought was a penny press machine and didn't understand it was a quarter machine, another guest gave him three quarters so that he could get the coin (I wasn't there but I just thought that was so awesome)

We tried to pass on the magic by giving away fastpasses to people who were about to go into the standby lines. That was fun.

We love Disney and will try and pass along the magic in our daily lives.

We just got back last night.

We were at the Commissary in MGM for breakfast and were chosen to recive free juice and danish!

They rang a bell and made a big deal about it too, which was fun.

When we sat down to eat, a cast member came by and whispered that the color of the tray we received determined that we won. Ours was pink, all the other trays were black.

 

[Talking Hands]

Was at WDW Oct 1 and 2. I had reserved a regular room with no requests since it would be an overnight stay and my husband would be with me to help if needed. When we arrived our room was not ready which was fine. I asked if the knew which bldg we would being and to my surprise it was Bldg #1 which is usually surcharged. When we finally got the room it was a handicapped room with a tub and grab bars on all sides. Just what I needed. And what a treat to bathe without needed my husband to get me in and out.

We had our own magical moment today. We were at MK (much busier than I exected btw) and we were looking at the Teacups. Ds(4) didn't want to ride so we walked to the other side just so he could see them and then he decided to ride. So we walked back to the line and we were the last ones. A CM came over and asked us if we had an "Unbirthday" today. I being the Disney guru (LOL) said Of course! She walked us back over to the side and we were able to walk right on the ride before anyone else. She and the crowd sang Happy Unbirthday to our family and we got an 8x10 pic of Alice and the Mad Hatter. Very cool!

I also noticed something I'd never seen before. On 2 occasions, someone had spilled their drink/Dole Whip (YUM!) and the CM gave them a pass or went to get another one for them.

Just curious but, did you leave Mousekeeping a tip? It's not suppose to matter but, I'm sure it does!

Plus you should never go expecting these little pieces of magic to happen, that way when they do they are that much better.

And maybe instead of sitting back and waiting for something great to happen to you and DS, you should create some of your own magic. You know spread the love, KARMA

"Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म from the root kṛ, "to do", [meaning deed] meaning action, effect, destiny) means "(the result of) action"
Karma is simply the golden rule: what you give out is what you receive - either in the same or in similar form. You reap what you sow - your actions create that which you do live out now, whether this relates to a past/future life situation or to the present date."

I'm going for a 3rd time ( and that in itself is magical to my family) (Dec 31 - Jan 15th) we are staying in CS for 1 night, OKW for 7 nights and SS for 7 nights... It's the vacation of a lifetime and we are doing our own magic, celebrating my Daughter's birhtday at 1900 Park Fare for Breakfast, and then diner at CP... Swimming with Dolphins at Dicovery Cove for one day, and now trying to get the Illumination cruise to continue the celebration... We are happy to go there, and maybe even spred some pixie dust on deserving CM, God knows they surely deverse it ha! ha! Can't wait to be there.... Good luck to everyone going...

 

[Talking Hands]

My dream wish would be to have FotLK interpreted on an off day because I won't be able to be there on Saturday to see it with the interpreting.

 

[briebee]

October 5was our lucky day! We were at MGM that day and decided to ride Star Tours (we is me, DH and DS12 and DS11). After we boarded the car, we noticed three CMs with big black bags in our car and we were wondering what was going on. One of them announced that our whole car had been chosen as winners in the Year of Million Dreams and everyone received the YoAMD ears. We were absolutely thrilled.

Later the same day we're getting onto Great Movie Ride and we notice that they have only let in enough people to fill one car. Well, when we all get in our car, here comes the Dream Squad again and our whole car wins the special lanyard with the special pins!!! THEN, after the ride we go to buy a bucket of popcorn, and the CM gives it to us for free!!! We have never been so lucky in our whole lives!!!

I was in Disney Quest on Saturday (last week) and they pulled us out of the line, told us we were going to by-pass the line, they took a picture of us with hats that they provided and gave it to us for free. They told us that we were the first for that particular venue. They actually started it one day ahead of schedule...

Just got back last night (late). My husband and two sons both got the Silver lanyards with two pins each. They were in DTD. Then the next day, I was in AK, and got the "get one, give one away" Tink pins.

Do you have pictures of the Silver Lanyards that were given away? I was just to know what they look like and what to be on the lookout for. Thanks greatly.

I don't have any pics currently, but they are thick silver lanyards that have "Year of a Million Dreams" and "Where my dream came true" printed on them. It came with two pins. Each one said the same thing as the lanyard but one was with Mickey and Minnie, and the other one was with Donald and Goofy. At the bottom of the lanyard it has a light blue card.........says the same things on the front, and explains pin trading on the back. I was not with my husband when he got these, but he said that the CMs (3 of them) came up to him with little black bags. Take note, that neither my husband nor my boys had their own lanyards on at the time. Many CMs afterward told them NEVER to trade those pins, so I'm not sure how many are going to be given out.
