Soo Many Magical Dream FastPassess, none for me

We saw so many Dream FPs, but were not so lucky ourselves. We did get free Dream Mickey Ear Hats and a Magical Lunch table at Taste Pilots, which was lovely. But those FPs.........how I so wished I had one! Any readers with tips or comments?

Hi... if from what I read is true, the Dream prizes as completely random for when and where they are given. You should consider yourself lucky you got the hat and lunch. Congrats!

There is nothing you can do to "increase" your chances at getting Dream FPs. The choices of receipients of the Dream FPs and other prizes by the Dream Squad is completely random.

You are lucky that they gifted you with the prizes of the ears and the table at Taste Pilots Grill. The Year of a Million Dreams is due to end soon and those prizes will no longer be given out. To have won 2 prizes in one trip is pretty lucky!

Really? We ate lunch there on our visit in July and I didn't even notice it! Maybe it's indoors and we went straight out on the side by the Mark Twain (and Big Thunder).

Ya it is on that inside/outside patio they have. If you are coming out of the restaurant it is to your left. It looks really nice. I would love to sit at that table..

I didn't see the table when we ate there in April. Of course, I wasn't looking for it either.

The Dream Suite was occupied as they had the sign and ropes up, but that's all I notice Dream wise at the park.

On a trip last month I saw a family win the seating at the reserved table in Rancho del Zocalo. I don't think they quite understood what they won. They kept asking the CM if they could eat somewhere else. As they sat there and waited for their food they kept looking around like they wanted a better place to sit. It didn't seem like a big deal to them more like a hassel I just felt bad for the CM because she was trying to do everything to make them happy. This is one of my favorite places to eat and we always sit in that area becuase my DS loves to sit next to the little fountain and under the star lanterns.
We won the Mickey ears and I was jumping up and down woo-hooing. My whole family thought I was nuts. I was just happy to have won anything.
I'd probably pee my pants if I won fastpasses

Makes me wonder if anyone has turned down a Dream prize.

As a local, you'd think I'd have gotten my fair share of Dreams, but the only one I've ever received were the FP's just a few weeks ago. My daughter and I were just starting our day at DCA, got there maybe half an hour or more after opening. We walked by the entrance to the Golden Vine Winery (near where the grape vines are, opposite the entrance to the Bug's Life area) and saw two Dream Team CM's in their blue outfits standing there with a handful of FPs. So, I grabbed my daughter's hand and scurried over there.

Of course, with how random it is, they may never show up there again, but that's my story of how I got mine.

Yeah, I have been 5 times during this promotion, and I just turn GREEN with every time I see a family with the Dream FPs. More often than not, they don't even look like they appreciate them!
