share their Year of a Million Dreams Magical Moments

My
daughter received a "magical moment" when having breakfast
at the Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. She had just returned to
her seat with her plate of food, when a very dirty stuffed animal
landed in her plate. Our waiter saw the whole thing - a boy at the
next table threw it. The cast members first came over with a print
stating a magical moment and filled in was "A Great Catch"
and it had the Pooh characters autographs. Then they came over with
the double-set of Tinker Bell pins - "one for you" and
"one to give". Then they came over with a confetti spinkled
cupcake. Wow were we surprised!

My
husband, 7 year old daughter and I had dinner at EPCOT's Biergarten.
When we got to the hostess she asked my daughter if she would like
to be a Jr. Chef of the day and help the Head Chef make a gingerbread
cookie. She gave my daughter a paper chef's hat to wear and told
her someone would come to get her during dinner. When they came
to get her halfway through our dinner, they put a little chef's
jacket on her and she went in the kitchen to decorate a giant bear
shaped cookie with "paint", mini M&Ms and Mickey shaped
sprinkles. And they took a polaroid of her with the Head Chef! She
got to eat the cookie and keep the chef's hat, of course it was
all she could talk about for the rest of our trip!

While
visiting Disneyland my husband came across the dream squad while
exiting Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. He received a dream fastpass
good for one ride on each attraction that uses fastpass at Disneyland
and Disney's California Adventure. They even printed one for Haunted
Mansion Holiday since they only use fastpass for that attraction
during the Holidays. It was a perfect ending to his birthday weekend!

We
were at Animal Kingdom early for breakfast and then headed to Dinoland
where we were given 4 Magical Dreams mouse ears as we went in the
line. That was so special because now the 4 of us have the same
mouse ears something we would not have chosen on our own.
When they embroidered our names on them later that day at Magic
Kingdom, they also didnt charge us for the embroidery.

We
were with our party of 10 at Disney's Studios and on our way to
our lunch when we passed a lady outside the "One Man's Dream"
area. She told us we should take a couple minutes to explore the
museum area even if we couldn't stay for the movie, that it wouldn't
disappoint. When we all walked in we were presented with a "Disney-MGM
Studios Dream FastPass" for the day. It enabled us to get to
the front of every big attraction.

We
visited Disney for my sons 7th birthday. We stopped at the
little store next to the fire house. When I went up to pay the sales
girl said she needed a honorary fire chief for the day and asked
if my son would like to be it. Of course he said yes and he got
to go out front with the fire chief and get sworn in and ring the
bell in the shop. He was so excited and it made our day so much
fun.

At
the Magic Kingdom our family received the Pin and Lanyard sets as
we were getting of the Indy Speedway. Our boys, 8 and 5, were so
excited!

My
children (6 and 4 years old) were chosen to open the Animal Kingdom.
We were waiting in line and talking to the rolling tree (Wes Palm),
when we were approached by Liz a CM that chatted with us for awhile
and then asked if the kids would like to open the AK. They were
given shirts to wear and instruments to play while they jumped up
and down at the start of the day. We were then allowed to walk ahead
to the rope to be up front for the rope drop. They each got a Magical
Moments Certificate as well as pins deeming them "Honorary
Citizens of WDW". It was a great moment. Thanks to Liz for
choosing us!
