[OneBadApple]

Sue - That is so awesome And how very nice of you to tell them to let another family do it - nice way to spread the magic! I bet they wouldn't get a lot of people doing that - I'm glad they rewarded you for it!

So am I.

That is such a fantastic dream.

I was there August 9-15th with my daughters and my mother. My Mom got free drinks one time for us all and a complete stranger gave us fast passes for the jungle cruise one night. But the best part for me was during the Pirate & Princess Party I got a kiss from Jack Sparrow himself! I think that I can die a happy woman now LOL

We arrived at MCO on August 16th, and when we went to check in at Magical Express, they told me that we won a Limo Ride to our hotel! It was great! The limo was out there waiting, so we didnt have to wait in the ME line, plus we got to our hotel that much quicker!

All of these stories are so uplifiting...it's making my family and I SO excited to go!

I have a question for you all though...we are planning on going to the CS resort in June of '08. Do you know if this celebration is being extended due to the popularity of it all? It would be great to meet some of the friendly CMs who are so willing to give up their time to talk to families. Thanks! Have a magical day!

We just returned from a ten day trip to disney. We recieved several dreams. My DD's and their friend got to demonstrate the hand jive to everyone in the Lion King show. Then my DH and Youngest DD recieved dreams ears on Soarin'. But our last full day was the best. We got chosen to help open the park and we recieved dream fastpasses later the same morning. My youngest daughter got to be captqain on the jungle cruise. At last, my daughters got to be a hedgehog feeder and a porcupine trainer at the Animal Kingdom! We had a great time.

wow, y'all got a lot! The hand jive is something they must do all the time not for dreams (not that it makes it any less cool!) cause they called me up last year and I'm not a kid...I'm 25! I started to do the hand jive in my seat when they first mentioned it, and they called me out on it!

congrats on all your dreams! I hope I get something cool in 23 days!

OMG - what day was that at the Lion King Show? I think we saw your DD and friends. We went on August 16th and I want to say it was the 4:30pm show. There were some girls who went around to each section doing the jive. We sat in the giraffe section.

It was the 15th. But we did me a few DIS'ers on our trip. We met one very nice lady celebrating her birthday on Dumbo. Another at the pirates gift shop and one of our Photopass Photographers!

Darn. Oh well sounds like you had fun, though. It was just when I was reading your story it was instant reaction that I wondered if the girls we saw doing the jive were your girls.

Unfortunately, we weren't granted any Dreams, nor did I ever see the Dream Team. I think chances are probably better when the crowds are lower. But I'm still sending in my postcards, hoping for a win there.

Last October we received some very special moments...

We went for lunch at the Royal Table in the Castle and when we were finished we got up to leave and Cinderella came upstairs to visit for a minute was on her way back down and she got into the elevator. The doors were shutting on the elevator and we were heading towards the stairs and she put her hand in the door and they opened back up and she said "would some little princesses like to ride with me in the elevator?"... My girls were so excited. I was a little embarrased because my little one had a dirty diaper and boy did it stink up the elevator. My mom crammed in with us and was taking pictures of us all in the elevator with Cinderella.

At the MNNSHP we were in line to see Woody and then the CM said that Woody was moving inside due to rain and he would be ready in a few minutes. We were next in line and Woody shook his head and grabbed my daughters hand and jestured for my family to follow him. We were alone with Woody inside for a while taking pictures and getting autographs.

On the boat from POR to POFQ we were the only one on the boat and the captain asked my daughter (5) if she would like to drive the boat. She was sooo excited. She couldn't even see over the controls. He gave her a co-pilot pin. He was so nice to us.

On our last day my daughter had her 1st Visit pin on and the CM in the gift shop at the hotel gave her some Mickey stickers and commented on her pin.

We had some really special moments that were aside from the year of a million dreams. We didn't win any official dreams but I think the experiences we had were better than material things like ears or a lanyard.(although I would have loved to ave won those!)

I was so excited about the Year of A Million Dreams, but have a horrible record of being a loser. I have been to Disneyland once, and WDW three trips and never won any dreams. Almost a Dream fast pass at Everest in May, but missed it by a few people.

But was I so lucky and happy, because it was on my fifth trip to a Disney Park during YOM that I finally won something! On Saturday August 25, I was in Innoventions East, when around 10:40 am, the Dream Team started to distribute Dream Fast Passes to anyone walking by the House of Innoventions area. I was soooo excited! It was so sad to never win, so it is a great feeling after so many trips to finally be at the right place at the right time. I almost won dream ears on Star Tours and Dream Fast Passes at Animation in the Studios the next day, but I only left Florida with the Epcot Dream Fast Pass. But I am happy. I only needed to win once to learn to like YOM.
So if you don't win, don't feel bad. Most people don't win. Dreams still come true at Disney World.

disney is about dreams

We were in Disney 8/14-22. I was hoping to see the dream team while on the trip, and luckily we were awarded with YOAMD lanyards and pins! I know it is the most common one to win (according to the prize chart, there will be about 500,000 given away), but I was so thrilled. It happened on our first morning in MK. We were getting off of Winnie the Pooh and there was a team at the exit. A team member said something to the couple in front of us, but did not say anything to us. As I walked by, I said, "Oh, I guess we just missed it," and she said, "No, your dream is right ahead!" I went on this trip hoping to have a chance to see the dream team...I never expected to actually win...it never happens to me! They even included our 10 moth old DS as a winner. We saw the team often that week...I saw a girl win a private visit with Cinderella after getting off of Snow White and others become "lost boys" after getting off of Peter Pan. I also saw many dream fastpasses. One family said they won theirs after getting off of the riverboat.

It was our best trip yet! regardless of the lanyards, I would say that the CM's were extra happy (if that is possible!) We had NO RAIN the entire week and the heat was bearable for August. The trip itself was a dream and I can't wait to get back!

My brother and sister-in-law arrived on 8/30 at Disney. They have 3 kids. Oldest son is ten, a daughter 8 and their youngest son is five. This is their first time staying on site. They are at fw in a cabin. They called when they checked in and my niece was a little sad their was no towel animals in the cabin. So me being the aunt that hates to hear about them be sad called the hotel and explained to the cm the story and asked if she could as mousekeeping to leave one. Well at 9:30 last night my niece called to let me know that while they out at the camp fire some filled their room with towel animals, books, and other goodies. My brother said that the only other dream she had to come true for her would be me coming on rides with her.but she knows she will have to wait for their next trip. Little does she know auntie is going to meet her at the castle Sunday morning.So I guess dreams do really come true at disney

I just got a tear in my eye thinking about how excited your niece is going to be when she sees you at the castle. That's some Disney magic!! Have a great time.
