Title says all. I've gotten prizes twice. Once,when we went to the Boudin Bakery,we got Mickey shaped sourdough bread to bring home. Yesterday, we were given table service at Rancho del Zocalo, so workers served us instead of us getting up. Have you ever gotten any YOAMD prizes?:vcool:

We have the ears and both sets of pins. We also received free breakfast for our whole family at the PCH Grill, and also a private ride (we were alone in the boat) on It's a Small World. We've been lucky. :)

My family got pins & Lanyard. They have Goofy & Donald on them. ( I was in the Bathroom and missed out! LOL) They were by the Buzz Lighyear ride in Tomorrowland at Disneyland.

My daughter was in the First Aid at Disneyland, ( a electric scooter ran over her foot) she was given 2 pins, it says one to keep and one to trade, They have tinkerbell and the dreams logo.

I have seen the Dream Team award prizes so many times I can't count. They usually give them to families with a few kids. It is so much fun to watch!

Last year during the Food & "Drink" Festival.. myself, my mother and my aunt were standing in line at Morocco when we spotted a lady from the Dream squad standing beside. She was urging the crowd to take a boat ride. She then said "I think right now would be a great time to take a boat ride. Right now." I looked at my mom and aunt and said, "I think we should take a boat ride." The whole boat was given the Dream Ears. I had been trying for a such a long time to get them, and finally received them when I wasn't even trying. It was a nice feeling.

Anyone else get anymore YOAMD prizes?:vhuh:

Once, I found a set of dream pins, in the Caribbean Resort Pool.

Well, once when I was at goofy's candy co. a cast member gave me a free frozen icee for being the first pin trader of the day. And once we got to ring the bell at liberty tree tavern and a snazzy certificate. Oh my brother missed getting dream ears on soarin by one group.

When i was in Animal Kingdom, me and my sister were in the bathrooms right by Camp Minnie Mickey and when we came out, we saw my mom talking to a CM and we walked over he said we got to see some characters by ourselves. It was pretty neat and we got a dream certificate saying "First Family of the Day"

Wow thats way better then my stupid certificate for ringing a bell at liberty tree tavern.

We were waiting in line for Churros at Animal Kingdom, and the family in front of us got a bunch of bags of free popcorn.

And we were talking to one family while we waiting in line for Stitch's great escape, and they said they were there for Band Class, and were marching in the parade later in the day, so Disney gave the entire class dream fast passes so they could go on all the rides..

but i've personally never gotten any Year Of A Million Dreams Prizes..

Last Feb, my dad went on the intense mission space ride while my sister and I went on the less intense. He brought back 3 sets of fastpasses for the entire day. We took advantage of them :)

Wow thats way better then my stupid certificate for ringing a bell at liberty tree tavern.

I'd love to have such a certificate (I collect Disney paper)

Anyhow, I have received a Dream Fastpass for DLR last year.

Sadly, because I collect - I didn't use it so that I could save it :)

Wait.. so if you use the fast pass you can't keep it??

Can you only use them for so many rides? Or do they just take it at the end of the day?

It says it is only good for the one day you get it. There are tabs with certain rides that you can use the fastpass for. You peel a tab off and hand it to the person at the fastpass line for the ride. If you don't use the fastpass, the tabs are still there. But you get to keep the thing.

What is YOMAD?

YOAMD=Year Of A Million Dreams

Year Of A Million Dreams

I bought some ears for it last year, during the real YOAMD, not the extended version :D. They twinkle.

My family was by Arcade by space mountain and saw lots of people walk out with theses fastpass necklaces and so my mom asked and the person said they were giving them away right after we got off :(

So you get 1 fastpass for each ride, and you can use it whenever during the day?

Oh, i thought you could go in any fastpass line as many times as u want, and you could use it at any park during the day..

When I was waiting in line to get some churros, we all got free pairs of ears :D

And when I got off of everest, I won a free Pal Mickey...

At WDW I got fast passes for Epcot while making a Robot in innoventions. (By the way my robot won 1st prize in the beauty competition lol, but she came in the middle in the running competition)

Then In Disneyland
We got Dream Hats comming off Snow White once
And on another trip we got fast passes coming off Snow White (for both DL and California Adventure park)
and on another trip we got Fast passes coming off Alice in Wonderland. (Again for both parks)

Cool I hope when my band class goes that we get fast passes, then again it wont be the year of a million dreams anymore.

I'll see if I can find a picture on google considering my dad isnt home to teach me how to use the scanner and it would take me awhile to dig through all of our disney stuff.

I go to WDW often and you have gotten way more then me, lesson learned you are lucky and my family isn't.

I went to WDW in November. I learned that to get Dreams stuff, typically you need to get there early. On a DinoLand ride, my mom and sister got to ride it again, in EPCOT, my sister and I got to release these ladybugs on plants outside of Innoventions, and also in Epcot we got Dreams Fastpasses. In MGM we were standing in line for the Narnia thing, and we got Dreams lanyards and pins. I really wanted to get the Dreams ears, but we didn't. Oh well.

Also, for anyone with questions, here's how the Dream Fastpass works. It is small, ummm, slightly larger than a credit card, and it is plastic. It is blue with clouds on it, and has a hole in the top, attatched to a gray round lanyard. It says -insert park here- DREAM FASTPASS on it and has the YOMD logo below that. It then says VALID ONLY ON -insert date here- PASS NUMBER -insert pass # here- at the bottom.

It has eightish plastic tabs on the sides and sometimes bottom. they say your pass # and date and then the bottom of the tab is dark blue. Each tab has a different ride on it, such as Mission: SPACE or Test Track (those were the two I never used lol) They break them off in the Fastpass line, so you can only use them once, unless you have more than one fastpass.

well i bought my dream ears. and after our trip they mailed us a dream lanyard and 2 dream pins are those dream items?

My family has been very lucky. Last year we took my daughter to DLR for her birthday and upon check in to the Disneyland Hotel we were congratulated and told that we were chosen as a dream family and got upgraded to Suite (with a dreams certificate , baloons etc.). The next day in the park my daughter was given the pixie dust dream pin ( one to keep and one to give away ( she gave it to her sister) ). Still I was without dream ears ( the one item I really wanted ) On Halloween we were lucky enough to get those elusive dream ears. And the one that has become one of my most prized Disney possessions ; A couple was leaving the park and asked if we wanted their fastpasses bc they would not be using them we said sure.They only gave us 2 and there were 3 in our party so somewhat useless ( I probably would not have used them anyway) but to me they were Priceless!! I got a pair of unused Dream Fastpasses with a very special date on them.

All you Disney Nuts will know why they are so Special.

...The next day in the park my daughter was given the pixie dust dream pin ( one to keep and one to give away ( she gave it to her sister) )...
Yeah, my sister-in-law got the "one to keep and one to give away" pins. Unfortunately for me, she apparently misheard the Dream Squad person and thought they were "one to keep and one to sell on eBay." :(

Ah well. At least I have the other Dreams pins and lanyards.

Stupid question, were you upgraded to the dream suite or just a regular suite? Again your extremely lucky and we get to the parks early and we get basically nothing. Hopefully over spring break our luck will change.

It was not the Dream Suite ( there was no dream suite available at DLR last spring) It was just a Suite in the Disneyland Hotel with a view of the park.

Sorry, I worded that wrong I ment the pent house the used to have for the year of a million dreams. anways sounds really cool wish I would have been their.

I haven't been to the park since before they started this so i haven't :(

They are selling dream ears in Downtown Disney, when i went a few weeks ago.
$14.05, didnt get one :(

Me my mother and brother were walking towards Big Thunder Mountain Railroad I I saw them giving Dream Ears out and was like "Oh My Gosh" And they gave us some! 3 other people in out party missed out big time!

Wow. I hope I am lucky when I go in December!

in 2006 me and my family wen tot epcot for my birdday i got the pixie dust pin:) and in spring `07 mum and i went ot the resorts and on the last day of our trip we went to epcot and right before we left the resturant the land they gave us a no strings attached fast pass

I have gotten a PhotoPass thing, a lanyard with special edition dream pins, and an invitation to the after-closing party.
I couldn't go to the after-closing party :(
The only things I want are the dream ears and the dream pastpasses.

~Key

All 8 of my family got dream ears at the end of a waterslide in Blizzard Beach. It was awesome! Then at the fireworks, I got a sorcerer hat! Yay!

I believe my sister and I have gotten dreamed 3 times (And one of them wasn't by a CM!)

First, my family and I were walking in MGM (At that time it was MGM) and my mom pointed out a CM carrying a basket of plastic food (She thought they were Potato Head parts to go with my Disney Potato Head from Downtown Disney). There were a lot of other kids walking around/behind her so my mom said "Quick! Go see what's going on!" We walked over to her and she "dropped" all the food onto the ground. We were given those grabber things that CM's pick up trash with and picked up the food to put back in the basket, which had been placed in the middle of the mess. Afterwards we were given certificates and a catch game to play with for a few minutes :).

Another time, my family had just entered the Magic Kingdom and saw Pinocchio standing nearby. We decided to visit him, so stepped into the line. After we were done taking pictures and such, a CM stopped us on our way out. She said "How would you girls like to meet someone special?" Of course, we agreed, and she then said "Meet me at the Exposition Hall at 12:55." At 12:55 we headed there and saw several other people from the line waiting there. A little girl stepped out from behind the curtain and the CM said "Go ahead in, girls." We went through the curtain and saw Cinderella! We took pictures and got autographs.

For the last dream, my aunt and her friend had recieved 2 Dream Lanyards with pins from their trip to WDW. They must have decided that, as a gift, my sister and I should get dreamed. We ended up with Dream Lanyards and pins :).

Ok, once i was getting on the friendship boat at epcot, and they gave ears to the first like, 20 people. i was sooo mad! But a very nice lady gave me hers cause she knew she would never wear them. ANOTHER STORY: THis year, when i went to disney, i went to MK 3 times. Every morning when some of my family would get off of Splash Mtn and they would be giving away ears! They never got any though.
I've also got 2 pairs of ears and a lanyard thru the mail

what is YOMAD?????????? lol

YOAMD is Tear Of A Million Dreams.

~~~~
In the line to the Backstage Tour in MGM, they pulled us over and gave the group that they pulled and gave them the Dream Passes.
We were gonna use it for the Lights, Camera, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, but they weren't taking fastpasses yet.

Also, by the Hot-shot Business thing in Innoventions in Epcot, we got two pin lanyards/pins:).

I love the YOAMD!:wave2:

I went to Typhoon Lagoon yesterday and as my friend and I were coming off the Storm Slides we both got hats! My first dream prize!

I got dreamed again twice in one day. It was my birthday May 10 and I got Fast passes walking from Big Thunder to Fantasy land in Disneyland and then walking from Story book canals to PrincessFantasyfair I got dream ears. It was a dream birthday for sure!!

I got plenty of Dream fastpasses.

yup, my family and i were standing in the line for Jungle Cruise at Disneyland and my mom got these really cool Tinkerbell pins

My sister got an exclusive pixie dust tinkerbell pin ;)

Then when I was eating this cast member saw my pins and told me to come see another cast member who had a lot of rare pins. I was a little hesitant but she was like "Believe me" I walked over and traded a really un-rare pin for the same pin my sister got LOL

I guess you could call it a YOAMD

I got a couple of the tinkerbell pins. (Well, my sis did..) ANd durring Easter/Spring Break we went to WDW. While we were in Epcot's Innoventions, the CMs were giving away Dream Fast Passes if you walked under a sign. It was cool, and pretty funny, watching people who got the pass telling others to walk under the sign.

I almost got dreamed last time I went(they were dreaming alot less people then usual), I just walked out of muppet vision and I saw the dream squad passing out fastpasses to people if they walked under a walk way. But by the time we got to the walk way they were gone out of thin air. My family and I were looking for a stand to buy a pop so I could take my medicince and we saw a huge dream squad/team and I said,"Hey it's the dream team." Also when epcot was about to open a couple janitors and a dream team member were by a couple trash cans covered in Year of a million dreams. They would toss balls to kids and they would throw them in the trash can and the employeed would give them a certificate. I didn't do it because I wanted the little kids to get a chance, and I didn't want to be run over by people since it was just opening.

I Have The Light-Up Mickey Ears

Yeppers (It took me a second to figure out what YOAMD meant...)
We were on test track and they put us all in the single riders part, and they gave us all lanyards and pins :]

~taylor

Well i got a story. (It's not about me)
We were at Downtown Disney. This older lady is come up to by three cast members. They tell her Mam you have been awarded the castle sweeet for one night. She told them Im not buying anything! Mam this is free. Im not buying anything! Go give it to someone else!

She DIDNT know about the Suite!

Aww.. I feel so sorry for her she must have been so confused. Did they explain it to her? Did she get to stay in the suite after all?

In the nearly two year the promotion has been running we have gotten Zip, Zilch, Zero, Nil, Nada, Nothing, Nadie! We are AP holders and go monthly at least. We did finally get to see a suite awarded but that's the closest we have ever gotten so you multi-dreamers....consider yourself charmed. :)

I don't know if this was YOAMD related, but my brothers and I got fastpasses for Space Mountain from a cast member one afternoon in WDW (they were all out at the machine). That was pretty sweet, as the line was really really long that day haha.

One time when I was in Epcot, me and my mom were in Innoventions (West, I think) and we got Dream Fastpasses. My Dad and sister were on Test Track, so the CM's were nice enough to give us two more for them.

I got the Tinkerbell pins twice before, I gave one to my mom, one to my sister, and one to my best friend.

Then when we were waiting in line for Space Mountain, a cast member took us in the control area and we got to see how it worked, then we got to skip the line.

Long line too. :D

I really wanted those light up ears, they looked really awesome :[

Oh well I got the lanyards and pins :]

~taylor

They aren't exactly the same but I found a pair of really cool light up ears in the Emporium. There is a big ear rack there lol. So I bought one of those because it was the closest I would get to Dream Ears.

When I was in adventureland we had just got out of POTC after a 30 minute delay inside of it and we were watching the pirate tutorial thing. Right after that we went to the flying carpets and literally everyone there was wearing Dream Ears. They had just handed a bunch out right before we got there :D

Oooooohhhhh, one time at Typhoon Lagoon, we were walking out of the waterslide with the fruit names - Pineapple, Banana and Coconut - and I got dream ears, and then I got to stay in the dream suite! It was fun ^_^

Crush'n gusher? I love that one, congratulations I have never heard of anyone that has been dreamed at a water park.

In my two times to Walt Disney World during the Year of a Million Dreams, I haven't won anything.

-bfen

Cast members really seem to want to give me stuff, but once they see that I'm Lemonysnicket3, they just run and look for someone else o.o.

I know what you mean I went four times during year of a million dreams(annual passes rock) and I have got nothing. Next time I have to bring a small child with me, they always want to give them fastpasses and hats.
