I won a pair of limited edition mouse ears as I was on my way out of Peter Pan's Flight

My four-year-old daughter won a private visit with Cinderella at the Magic Kingdom in September.

It was funny. She was waiting in line to see Snow White when the Dream Squader asked her if she wanted to see Cinderella. My daughter said no that she wanted to see Snow White. She thought that she would have to leave her line she spent so much time in waiting to see Snow White. She was very focused and waiting patiently on when it was going to be her turn. When my wife explained that she could visit Cinderella later she was nonchalant about it as if it was just going to be the next thing we did. She didn't really understand the whole winning a dream thing but she loved her time with Cinderella. She even got a certificate commemorating the event.

We are the last people to feel entitled at Disney World. But after spending some twenty days in the parks during the Year of a Million Dreams and seeing those blue ears and fastpass lanyards seemingly everywhere, we began to wonder if there was a reason we never got anything. It didn’t bother us because we had so many dream moments during those trips. We were thrilled when we finally won something that it was for our daughter.

On the down side, when my wife was pulled aside by the Dream Squader she was all prepped with her camera, autograph clipboard and marker…like you’re supposed to be for optimum efficiency. During an exchange of a schedule where she can pick a time to see Cinderella she dropped her camera. So we didn’t get photos of our Dream, or Snow White or anything else that trip. I try not to think about that part though.

We were at Disney Studios in Nov of 2006 during the YOMD. We won a "Fast Pass" for every ride in the park. We took advantage of a few, but weren't interested in some of the rides (Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster). On our way out, we checked with a cast member and then Shared the Magic with another group of four...passing on the remaining Fast Pass tickets to another group. Honestly...passing on the magic was more fun that getting the original fast pass award!

While at DL in Oct 07 on a VERY Last minute trip to the GC (supposed to go to Hawaii, but we had fires here in San Diego and thought it was best not to go) I wanted to eat at Napa Rose, but they had no rezzies left. As were finishing up with the check in a CM came out with a certificate that gave us the ability to go to any of the hotel restaurants without a reservation and be the next party seated.

I don't know if I was more excited to be able to go to Napa Rose or with the fact that I got a Dream!

I caught a Dream Team member giving an Honorary Princess award to a girl for pulling the sword from the stone. I then stalked her trying to let my Stinkerbell pull the sword from the stone also. No luck.

We gave up and got in line for Small World. Stinkerbell had just exchanged her "customizable crown" with a badly designed veil for a Princess sun visor and small tiara and satin "Princess" sash. Her smile had returned and disappointment was vanquished.

The Dream Team member I had been stalking caught sight of Stinkerbell and asked her if she was having a good day, etc. She then asked Stinkerbell to be the Honorary Cruise Guide for the Small World ride. We were escorted to the control booth, where Stinkerbell waved to the riders below. An announcement was made about the "award" and we were escorted to the front seats of the front boat, skipping the line completely.

This is no "Cinderella's Suite", but it made my daughter's day and put a smile on all our faces.

Thank you, CM Dream Team Nancy.

btw, you can recognize Dream Teams by the black messenger bag with "Year of a Million Dreams" on it.

Welcome to Intercot!

Great story. Happy your DD had a good time. Dream Team stalkers are one of Disney's biggest fears.

They could get in trouble for "playing favorites". That's why they separate Magical Moments from Dream giveaways. Legal stuff. Great magical moments though! Often much better than the small Dream giveaways.
