Congrats for winning!! Some of us go all the time and never got anything so we are

I've seen alot of Dream FPs around people's necks early in the morning, so it seems to me that they hand them out in the first hour or so of park-opening.

[JanetCatherineB]

Well I heard that they do most of the giveaways early in the AM and in big amounts at once. So although I have not received anything myself, we plan on trying an EARLY AM trip soon.

Sorry you haven't gotten any FP's, but congrats that you won the hats and special table. We spent 11 days at WDW last December and one day in DL earlier this month and haven't gotten a thing. On both trips, we were constantly surrounded by people with hats and FP's, but alas, I guess we were always in the wrong place at the right time or maybe the right place at the wrong time. Before our trip, I always thought I'd be unlucky enough to win dream FP's on my way out of a park for the day, but I guess I wasn't even that lucky. We did see dream CM's walking around on 4-5 occasions....some people have never even spotted them.

I got a Dream FP when I visited in September 2007. I think it was on a Thursday and I was walking at the path by IASW. The CMs had a stack of Dream FPs they were handing out. I got one!

Ironically, I never used it. The waits were relatively short and I found no need to use them. I think I got a FP at one attraction. The Dream FP made for a nice souvenir, though.

haha sometimes the FP lines are actually as long as the normal lines. That's what's funny.

I'm not sitting here complaining but has anyone ever seen anyone with an AP or elderly without children ever receive any Dreams Come True gift? I know I have not. When we approch a member of the Dreamteam, they seem to look the other way. I ask, don't AP holders or people of advanced age who are without child have dreams as well?

[HeatherD]

It stinks that some of us have never been approached, but I don't think there's anything reverse-targeted about it (meaning, I don't think they're avoiding certain types nor looking for certain types).

When we approch a member of the Dreamteam

Since they work under pretty strict rules about when and where to do things, I'd say they probably "have" to ignore most of the people who approach them - otherwise it's not a gift. I've been walking in the general direction of some before and had them pack up their FPs and walk away in front of me (I wasn't walking to them, but I was "casually aware" of them, savvy?).

I ask, don't AP holders

How would they know if someone is an AP holder? Whether we had an AP or a hopper, they'd all be in DH's wallet...

people of advanced age who are without child have dreams as well

Well, I can't comment on advanced age, but we have 2 adorable kids (if I do say so myself ) and we've never been approached.

I just got back from Disneyland a little while ago. I took my kids there since they had no school today. At around 2pm, we were sitting at the Castle drawbridge and looked over to Snow White's wishing well and saw a bunch of people wearing the Dream hats, and 2 Dream Team CM's cheering and generally making a bunch of noise to attract attention. We quickly scooted over there and got our hats, our first time for that! We're AP holders, but they would've had no clue. They were just trying to get people's attention to go over there and pick up a hat.

The only other time we won was for the FastPass, and I just happened to see the Dream Team CM's standing in DCA over by the Golden Vine Winery entrance. I scooted over there with my daughter and we picked up our FastPasses.

I believe their "rules for randomness" in many cases requires them to stand at a certain location and hand out the prize to anyone who sees them. I heard some CM's talking once saying that they've received Dreams when they were at the Park after work and happened to walk by the cigar store indian near the entrance to Frontierland just because they happened to walk by when the Dream Team CM was standing there handing out FastPasses. I've gotta believe that for the "special" dreams, it's probably something like "pick the first person you see wearing a blue shirt" or "look for someone with short hair" or something purely random like that, but don't quote me on that!

What a cool Magical Dream gift!

They also usually give them out based on the first person to do ____ after a certain time (ex. touch a water fountain, walk by, etc).

Congratulations on your wins...

When we went in late August/Early Sept last year we just happened to be walking to put our stuff in the Lockers right off main street when 2 CM's came through the gate right there and started handing out Mickey Ears. My mom went and got both of our DH's and had them come get ears too. so I have 3 sitting at home and she took 2 with her. DD and her boyfriend didn't get any because they had already taken off on their own.

We were really hoping to "win" something more, but were completely tickled that we got the ears anyways.
