The Dream Team CM that posted here made it very clear they don't pick the winners.
I have a two week trip planned in March.. I don't really care if I win or not, but my kid would be thrilled. I didn't even tell him about this. I'm hoping if he wins it will be a cool surprise and if he doesn't he'll have had his usual "Magical" Disney Trip.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

I saw nothing!
Hi everyone,
I just returned from a 3 day trip. I was there Fri Oct. 20-Mon Oct. 23. During that time, we hit all 4 parks from opening until almost close with no breaks during the day. With my luck, I totally was not expecting a wish for myself, but I did expect to see other people getting one or signs that someone had gotten one. And I saw absolutely nothing. No dream squad CM, no guests wearing dream fast passes, etc. It was a little disappointing because I do believe that it is random, but a lot of people will just think that they only give a dream away to the cute family once a week, etc. Like I read somewhere on these boards I believe, if I didn't know it was the YOMD, it would have seemed like nothing special was going on at all. I may be returning in January so perhaps I'll see a wish given then.

This is not only sad but does seem odd, I hope maybe you were having so much fun that you were to busy and just happened to be on the other side of the park when they(Dream team) were passing out fast passes.
I know it sounds far fetched, because that's the kind of luck I have!
We'll be there in Jan with my family and my sisters too!
So, maybe the magic will be better for us all then!
Good Luck next year, for our Dreams and yours!!

We also never saw anyone win. One day at EPCOT we were in the Fast Pass line with 2 people who had golden fast passes, but that is all we saw over the course of several days.

Surprising to hear reports of not seeing Dreams and Dream CMs. I was there Oct 1 thru the 7th and saw people with prizes everyday.
The Prize Squad CM's are in white vests. Usually 3 or 4 to a team. If they have a duffel bag and it's not bulging, it's pins or fastpasses. If it's bulging, then they have Dream Ears.
I saw people with dream ears everyday except Oct 1. I saw Dream Fastpasses everyday. They are hard plastic cards (with FP tabs) with a gray lanyard. The Ears are sky blue with clouds and silver ears.
I don't think they'll ever award these lower prizes in a public area. The need to give them to people in lines to make it random. So the random place is usually going to be a turnstile for a ride.
Best of luck everyone! Can't wait to go back!

I think the reason that you saw so many that week was because that was the kick off week.

Kickoff week might have had something to do with it but Donna was there about the same time. I did try to hit the parks with evening EHM. Maybe they prefer those parks since it gives guests more time to enjoy the wish?
I'm curious, has anyone won a wish outside of a line?

First hidden mickeys, now hidden Dream Squads.
The best place to see a Dream Sqaud is at a turnstile.
That is good and bad.
It's good because if you see them they are just about to, are in the process of, or just finished handing out dreams.
The bad part is that Disney does a great job of "hiding" the turnstiles.
We got our prizes on Aladin's Flying Carpets and Triceratops Spin. Both are probably the most open rides the DS will award on. I saw a couple boats worth of people coming out of POTC with brand new fastpasses. I'm sure they were awarded deep in the depths on the ride. Same with Soarin. I was waiting for some riders at the end and a pack of people came by with new Dream Ears. Again, probably given away far away from the mayhem at the front and right at the turnstile to get the proper "random" effect.
Some earlier posts talked about a CM seeing a cute kid or nice family and giving them a Dream. That will not ever happen. It's illegal.
So my advice is to get in a lot of lines and look for the white vests. Also, look for the older CM's. The Dream Squads seems to be made up of the seasoned pros.
Good luck!

Probably true, but just for reference, a CP friend of mine from 2002 stayed with the company and is now part of the Dream Squad and he is just 27. It is a temporary promotion from his usual Guest Relations job.

My wife and I got the Pin and Lanyard set. I think it was on Monday the 2nd of October, though it might have been on the 1st. We were coming back over from Tom Sawyer island, and as our raft docked, the TOMD CMs came over and asked everyone getting off to stand over to the side, as they had a surprise for us.
So, it was sort of in line, but also sort of not. Either way, I was really excited to get a Dream! I have a good friend who I converted to the ways of Disney a couple of years ago, and who loves the pins, so my wife and I are doing what we think should be done with a dream - we are sharing it with others. For his birthday in December, my friend will be getting one of our sets.

Yikes!
Hordes and a mob doesn't sound too dreamy to me. Hopefully no one will get hurt if they keep that process going.

What did the suit say about the fish? DH and I always tease each other over whether they are real or imagineered. lol

Our family's 2 magical moments
We were in the world 10-28 to 11-5.
First moment, we were standing waiting for the doors to open for "Little Mermaid" when a CM approached our 6 year old daughter and asked if she would like to be the "first mate". Then, once the CM was ready to open the doors, she brought our daughter up on the "pedestal" where they do their speil before opening the doors, announced my daughter's name, location, and asked everyone to say Hello to her. Then my daughter was instructed to say "Welcome to the Little Mermaid" over the PA. After that, another CM came out and announced "on behalf of the Walt Disney Company, we would like to present this special gift to (daughter's name)". It was a Platinum Edition DVD of The Little Mermaid. Daughter was thrilled.
Second moment, we were having dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern on 10/31 (before the Halloween party). We finished dinner, and out comes our waitress with a cake, and asks, "is it anyone's birthday here". We said, "no". And she said, "good, we would like to wish you all a happy UNbirthday" and had the entire staff sing, "happy UNbirthday" to us.
We saw many wishes/dreams being given out. Also many "dream ears".

Sorry DMApixie the suit said that the pirhana (sp?) were as "real" as they could make them. Although they looked like regular fish to me and not pirhana, maybe he was confused and meant in the Jungle Cruise.
