We won Dream FP at AK. We were at the rope drop after having breakfast at Donald's Breakfastosaurus and they walked us over to EE. We were the first to ride for the day and they gave the entire train Dream FP. It was awesome!

The last time I visited before my annual pass ran out, I got a lovely Tinkerbelle pin from one of the wandering CM's on Main Street. It was great to get something right before I moved away from Florida and my ability to visit Disney anytime I wanted on an annual pass.

OK I have a question for everyone. I've been spying on this thread and decided it was time to post something. Last year when we went during the year of a million dreams we didn't have any dreams come true. Saw lots of people with dream fastpasses and other stuff, but no luck for us. I don't expect to get anything this August when we go either. So.... I decided to start sending entries daily. I have been sending an envelope a day for me and one for my DH(only for like 2 weeks so far). Why I thought of this just now, I don't know.

I had been hand writing the envelopes but printed a bunch of papers with our info on it to stick inside. Then yesterday when I got more envelopes, I decided to print the address in Walt Disney script. Much easier right? I just now, the dummy that I am, decide to read the official rules online. I says a hand written paper or postcard with your info. What should I do? I bought custom Mickey return address labels and already printed out maybe 50 if not more papers with our info on it, plus the envelopes. Recycle the paper, not use those envelopes?? I guess I can always use the labels. I just don't want them to see my envelope and be like "this dummy didn't read the rules, GARBAGE pile for this one". Not to mention the cost of the postage for the rest of the year. YIKES!

Any opinions will be greatly appreciated

I've read of people who have won by the mail and only sent in Envelopes like you are doing! Good luck to you!!

It has taken me weeks to finally read all these pages.
Congratulations to everyone granted a Wish.
We were in Disney in December 2006. Kiddos received a few certificates for different things. Only saw the Dream Team once. They were at the exit of Tom Sawyer Island early in the day. We were on the raft heading to Tom Sawyer Island. By the time we left the island they were gone. So close!!!

Grumpy (Non-disney fanatic husband) and myself are taking a Parents Only trip the first week of June. It would be great to win a wish, but I am fine if I don't. I am actually planning on packing some stickers and little things to gift other people with. I am planning on giving them out to kids, parents without kids, and solo travelers. (Which is what I will mostly be since Grumpy will be at a work conference for most of the trip. I am just tagging along so I can visit The Mouse.)

I have not heard of anyone winning the Private Day on the Island yet.
Maybe Mickey is saving that one for me.

oct 07 we were at epcot just walking around the world showcase and enjoying the view and the food when we were passing a young man taking a picture of his wife or girlfriend. i approached him and asked if he'd like to get in the picture and i'd shoot them both. he happily agreed and i took a nice shot of them with spaceship earth in the background. after i gave back the camera and began walking away with my family, a cast member came up and said he'd just witnessed a kind act and wanted to share the dream with me. he gave me the card with the tink pins, one to keep, one to share. i gave the to share pin to a passing little girl who had lots of tinks on her lanyard.

The winning family were on the same cruise as us, it was soooo cooool waving to them as they left for castaway cay and the ships horn was blowing "when you wish"

Last June.

I went on a WDW trip with my best friend family. As a best friend he
told me that he was planning to propose to her some time during our trip. So while I was at MK i was looking out for the Wishes crew. They seem to come in and out of places and gone. So while we were sitting down near pirates of the Caribbean ride we was approached by a Wishes crew and offered us some pins and other stuff. We told him that it was our dad's birthday so he gave us a birthday sticker and pin. He was very nice and also asked us a bunch of questions. I never knew about it till then till it ticked in my head that they are there to grant some wishes. So we spent our latter of the day in the rain running around trying to find them for the wish for my best friend. We ended up finding one approach him inside a gift shop and casually asked him if we could get a wish granted. He asked what and we told him that my best friend needs help he is shy and wanted to propose to his gf but don't know how to do it and would like for you to help.
So in the end we talked for about thirty min. He asked us plenty of questions and how we wanted to do it so in the end. He blocked off access to the side wishing well. Gave us a ring holder, also a engraved picture saying congrats with "mickey!" on it! and also front row access to the parade/ wishes firework show! In the end he proposed to her during sunset with the Disney music wish upon a star playing in the background!

I have to say out of all theme parks that I have been this by far blown us out of the way!!
