I'm hopeful that other Dis'ers will post information about the Cinderella Castle Suite here in this thread. I only started it so that we would have a central location for information. I'm sure there are various threads on other boards, but since this is the Dis' Year of a Million Dreams board, I thought it was the most appropriate place for this information.
So, if any of you have links to news articles, video clips, audio clips, and photographs, please feel free to share them here.

Ead79, I agree. I can't wait to read a trip report from a Dis'er who has stayed in that suite. I hope it happens soon, and then happens again and again and again...

First Year of a Million Dreams Guests to Find Suite Dreams As Disneys Cinderella Castle Opens for Overnight Stays
(JAN. 25, 2007): A Michigan family made history as the first Walt Disney World guests to win a night's stay inside Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom Park as part of the unique Disney Dreams Giveaway. The Fouch family of DeWitt, a small town near state capital Lansing, gained the key to the brand new Cinderella Castle Suite Thursday during "The Year of a Million Dreams," a Disney spectacular celebrating the dreams of guests at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. Jim and Lisa Fouch and their children, Brad and Hannah, were to spend Thursday night in the regal dwelling place -- the world's most exclusive resort, with only one room available and no reservations accepted. The Fouches became the recipients of the opportunity to become honorary Disney royalty for a day and night because 16-year-old Brad Fouch was sitting in seat eight in the second row of Simulator 4 of the Disney-MGM Studios' Star Tours attraction at 9:50 a.m. Thursday. That was the randomly selected location and time determined by the Disney Dreams Giveaway computer to award the Cinderella Castle stay. (Diana Zalucky, photographer)

That is the million dollar question, isn't it?
On my KTTK tour our tour guide indicated that after the YOMD the suite would be used for Disney's Make A Wish Foundation Guests....
ForKeeps, that would be wonderful. I saw a statement by Disney yesterday that mentioned that they still hadn't determined what they were going to do with the suite after the Year of a Million Dreams ended. Hopefully, they have a few ideas because using it for various charitable foundations such as the one you mentioned would be a wonderful gesture.
It also would be wonderful if they auctioned off a handful of one-night stays in the castle and donated the proceeds to charity. Two summers ago I was at a Disney auction in Disneyland as part of their 50th anniversary celebration. The proceeds from that auction were donated to various charities.
Here is a photo of the first family to be randomly chosen for a Cinderella Castle Suite stay: click here. And here is a close-up photo of the tiara that the young lady wore in that photo: click here. What follows is the press release regarding that tiara.

Since Disney has hired Annie Leibovitz to take photographs as part of the Year of a Million Dreams celebration, it will be interesting to see if she takes any photographs inside the Cinderella Castle Suite. Today she unveiled a photo with the castle in the background: click here (there's that tiara again) and click here (there's that glass slipper again). Here's what Disney's press release had to say:

Stars Play Out Disney Park Fantasies In New Images Unveiled by Annie Leibovitz
World-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz poses Jan. 26, 2007 in front of her image featuring Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella – one of three images unveiled today to launch Disney Parks “Year of a Million Dreams.” Leibovitz, wearing the 62-carat, $325,000 Harry Winston diamond tiara worn by Johansson in the photograph, was at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. today to unveil her new Disney Parks-commissioned "Dreams" images. Johansson, clad in a Cinderella ball gown and the diamond tiara, glides down the palace staircase at the stroke of midnight and unknowingly leaves behind a single glass slipper. Each of Leibovitz’s three “Dreams” images feature a scene, with celebrities playing the role of a Disney Parks character, expressing their own dreams and imagination. The other two images feature singer/actress Beyonce, actor Oliver Platt and singer/songwriter Lyle Lovett in a giant, whirling teacup from Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland,” and international soccer star David Beckham portraying Prince Phillip atop a white steed and slaying a fire-breathing dragon in the climactic scene from Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty.” In addition to the three debut images, Disney Parks has commissioned additional images by Leibovitz featuring more celebrities in fairy tale settings.
