That's cool. Eliminates CM's giving things to their friends. (Not that any CM's that post here would do that, but I'm sure some would.)

OMG. We're spending part of our honeymoon at WDW. How cool would it be to spend one of those nights in the castle!!!!!!!

ML - is the cruise line in on this as well?

Sorry to be cynical, but Disney cheats and lies and cheats some more. It's laughable to me to think that it will be the 23rd this or the 4th that. Random, my ass.

Let's see how many roudy teenagers win. Or how many hopeless geeks. I'm not buying it. There is a criteria and some people are just not free to say so.


I hope to be proven wrong. But it would mean a change in contest policy, and would be a big (and pleasant) surprise to me.

Thank you MickeyLumbo!

the honeymoon itself will be a Dream Come True! I do hope that you will be among the lucky Guests presented with a special "Dream" experience!

The Disney Cruise ('s) are not part of the promotion at this time. Both WDW and the DLR will be participating.

Mike Scopa was able to attend the official announcement. The one piece of news I thought particularly noteworthy was that Rock It Mountain was announced as part of the changes coming to Disneyland during this promotion.

But under the name Rockin' Space Mountain (I guess they'll need to do a new sign).

Rockin’ Space Mountain – Space Mountain is getting a new twist. Thanks to new lighting and technology, Disney’s classic attraction will become a new experience in which rockets will rock it through the greatest concert in the universe. An all-new soundtrack will fit the exciting twists and turns of Disney’s rocket classic. (Spring 2007)

Yeah, I thought that was interesting, especially after hearing the lackluster reviews coming out of grad nights.

Stevie, Stevie, Stevie. You know, as well as I do, that if you were to win one of those randomly generated prizes, you'd geek up and act just as goofy and happy as any of the people you've ever seen win them before. Everbody makes a good promo photo when they're overwhelmed.

Here's hoping you win something, just so's your heart can grow two sizes. And, if you do, I hope I get an invite.

I've won a plush before. I even had a legitimate chance to win a car. When a machine selected guests as winners, it was truly random or based on real numbers ... but somehow when winners are selected by humans at Disney, the prizes always go to young families with two pre-teen children. Wonder why that is?

Woo-hoo! I have three pre-teen children! Woo-hoo!

I have bad memories about the machine process. I was there with a group of over 50 people back during the 30th anniversary when every 30th person through the gate got a prize. It was in the off season (October, I think?), and we were entering at the same time as only one other person. A single lady. She won a prize and no one in our group did.

I guess I'm with iSm on this one. I'll be interested to see whether the dream winners represent a variety of guest types or if they are all extremely photogenic and representative of the wholesome guest ideal.

Not that it matters to me personally, as I have no trips to either park planned currently. (Although I'd like to see the new sub ride when it opens.)
