Attention WDW YOMD Winners: When, where and what did you win

[MontanaZoo]

We were at AK on the Pangini Forest Trail on 3/7 at about ohhh probably 10 or 11. My DNiece 11 was kind of glum even though she loves animals cause this was our 7th day in WDW and more walking was NOT appealing to her. A CM came up to us and whispered to her, catch up to that line of people, it's a magical moment (we were looking at the gorillas).

I had no idea what it was actually, the YOAMD had totally slipped my mind at that point and my niece didn't know much about it. I was thinking it was a CM doing animal handling. It was the Dream Team and they handed out the Dream Fast Passes. Then I had to answer a bunch of questions (from my niece) about what's Primeval Whirl and Dinosaur since I had purposefully avoided telling her about the rides since I didn't think they were really worth the time. She didn't like Dinosaur but she said Primeval Whirl was ok.

I had the Best Friends basket from Disney Florist (with Bambi and Thumper in it) sent to our room after our first full day at the park and put on the card from Mickey which they changed to "From Your Pals at Disney". She flipped out about that basket and said that was her most magical moment and that's when she felt she really was at Disney. I said maybe we had won it as part of YOAMD.

That was her most magical moment, getting the dream fast passes was her second.

Oh, I forgot....we also got to open Panchito's twice (the gift shop at CSR) since we were sitting on the fountain at 8am waiting for our shuttle to Seaworld (both days). They make a big deal of it, have a special key in a Mickey tin and play instruments. My niece got to use the key to open the metal gate and got a certificate.

Also, she got to blow the whistle on the train to Conservation Station and got a certificate for that too.

There were also times we were passed over for these kind of moments because we were 2 people and not a family of four....so if you're a family of four, wear matching shirts and be up at the front at rope drop.

I won lanyard and pins at 9:30am on 12/05/07. We were exiting splash mountain in the Nagic Kingom.

We won YOMD dream fast passes on 3/19 at 8:00am at Buzz Lightyear inside the line queue.

Way back in 2006, we were chosen as family of the day at the rope drop for Epcot. My DD7 (at the time) was wearing a "My First time at Disney" pin, and caught the eye of a CM. Completely unexpected, but received fastpasses for all of the rides, VIP seating for fireworks, and the first ride of the day on Testtrack (twice actaully).

 

[WantToGoNow]

We won dream fastpasses at the MK around 11:00 as we were coming back from Tom Sawyer Island. They even gave one to dd2 - I insisted she did need one since she wasn't big enough for most of the fast pass attractions but they let her have it anyway.

We were exiting Snow White's Scary Adventures a couple of days later and my ds5 was crying becuase it scared him. A "manager looking" CM came over and asked him what he would like to ride. They escorted our entire group to the front of the line for Dumbo and gave dd2 a princess crown.

We won VIP veiwing of wishes at 7:00pm our first night in the park

On our first trip to WDW in March we won:
VIP viewing of Wishes our first night in MK.
DD 5 also was chosen to be the princess at the Beauty and Beast musical in HS. Both DD 3 & 5 were albe to send personal messages to their favorite character from a shop in HS.
Then DH met his "prince charming" at Epcot when he met Steve Young. Finally our last night in the park I had an allergic reaction to something I ate and had to go to the first aid center - it was during the P&PP- for Benadryl, well Cpt. Jack Sparrow was there ( he was not out in the park b/c it was raining) and the entire family got our pictures with him.
When we got back I worry our next trip might not live up to this one.

We had both a dream and 2 magic moments. We were in the right car on Star Tours and won the lanyard. Also on Star Tours (different day) DD4 commented that Star Tours was her favorite ride to the CM while waiting to board. Upon getting off, the CMs directed us to wait, and put us right back on the ride... 3 separate times! My kids were so excited to get to keep riding. Last magic moment was in ToT. DH and DS9 went to ride while DD and I took the "service elevator" down to wait for parent swap. DD didn't want to get in the elevator, thinking it would drop, too. After much convincing by the CM and myself, she agreed to ride down with me holding her. As the doors closed, I acted like we were falling and kinda screamed at her... CM looked like I was nuts, but DD started cracking up! CM was so impressed, he dressed her up like a bellhop, and she was waiting when DH and DS came off the ride. See pic in sig!

Sounds like you had a great time with lots of magic...I love the bellhop photo..could not get any better. Thanks for sharing.

We won Dream ears at EPCOT as we entered Turtle Talk with Crush.
Can't remember the day but it was this year in March, early in the morning.

My BF and I are going to Disney and I really, really, really would like to win SOMETHING. Even if it's just fastpasses!!! Do we have a chance since it's just the two of us and no kids??

 

[karibritt01]

Yes... its being in the right place at the right time, and doesn't matter if you have kids. The computer will say 'Dumbo ride, car 4, back seat on left, 10:32 AM', and that person will win no matter who it is. For things such as fast passes, ears, and lanyards, it will say "everyone exiting Tot from 9:56 until 10:02AM" or "Star Tours, car 4 at 5:22PM" and everyone there wins. GOOD LUCK!!

 

[luvdsny]

Fantastic stories. Keep them comin'. I am living vicariously through all of you.

 

[KNovacovschi]

I want to win...keep sending postcards and nothing...even if it is just a little pin...just please something...

 

[Gig'em]

In Sept '07 we won MK fastpasses coming out of Peter Pan around 9:30am. We also won lanyards coming off Goofy's Barnstormer. I hope we are as lucky this coming Sept!

We won dream fastpasses @ MK on 3/21. The last day of our trip . We really weren't expecting to win anything & we actually had a running joke all week "Disney's Dream Team - Fact or Fiction?" We never saw anyone the whole week until the last day. We came around the corner at Buzz Lightyear ride (8:00 a.m.) & there was the dream team member saying congrats you've won. Right place at the right time I guess or it pays to be one of the 1st in line . If I had to guess I'd say he probably had about 50 +/- badges in his hand. I would have been soooo sad if I got to him & he said sorry just gave out the last ones . As luck would have it it was also DH's b-day that day & DS & myself were also celebrating our own b-days the following week so we all had our Disney Birthday Trip t-shirts on that I had made at home. I guess they brought us luck. Good luck to all on getting their dreams granted.

We won dream fastpasses in Epcot this past Wed 3/26 at Innoventions at approx 10AM. We were in there killing some time waiting for our MS fastpass time to come up. 4-5 dream squad members were standing around in a group and all of a sudden I heard them do a little countdown and every person that passed by where they were standing was handed one. It was a great dream to win considering how crowded it was!!

We also just missed getting the YOAMD mouse ears coming off BTM. They counted off several people coming off our ride and pulled them aside. If we were closer to the front of the train we would have gotten them.

Havent read the entire thread yet..but i want to ; )

Has anyone every won anything during the special tickets events such as MNSSHP? I will be going to P & P Party in April. Not sure if they do anything during those event hours.
