We won!!!! Magic Kingdom "Dream Hour"

[CathrynRose]

My son and I got back last night, after 4 WONDERFUL days at the world! It was a *suprise* trip for him - I asked him to come with me early Thursday morning to pick my boss up at the airport!

I wanted to let everyone know about a "prize" that is availible that I hadnt seen mentioned yet - a "Dream Hour"

We were just exiting Haunted Mansion and the ride stopped - when we got to the hallway a Dream Team'er handed us a button! My son and I were PSYCHED! We never win anything and we thought we won a button!!! We were giddy! YAY! WE WON A BUTTON!

The CM told us to "make sure we get our wristband!"

Wristband? Wristband for what?

The park was open a whole hour after close for a small amount of people. We met in Tomorrowland at closing time. They had a DJ and the Captain of the Dream team there, who asked "Ever dream you could have the whole park to yourself?" They played some music and then you-know-who came out and announced the park was open only for us!!! We literally ran from ride to ride to ride! In that hour we hit:

Pirates
Big Thunder, twice
Haunted Mansion
Peter Pan
Dumbo
Carousel


It was AMAZING! And so cool, and so crazy! Everyone was running around, giggling and laughing! It was TOTALLY cool! No lines, no people.... The park was ours!!!

And when the park finally closed up, this is what we had waving goodbye to us:

Couldnt have been more special!!!

Wow that's so lucky! It gives me goosebumps to even think of having the park to myself! Peter Pan! That's always a three hour wait when I'm there..

 

[MomPOM]

[poohs_hunny]

Wow - sounds awesome! About how many other people were chosen for this also? Do you know how often they do it (once a week, etc.)?

I KNOW! My son has NEVER been on it, until Saturday! We went specifically on "long lined rides"

Peter Pan queue line, that night:

As my DD7 would say "sweet".

I know, I know, I know.... I wish I knew EXACT number..... Gosh, my son and I even talked about it, trying to figure it out.

SInce we all met in Tomorrowland, by the stage - I was looking around, and trying to judge and I'd say 200, maybe 300 people? Seriously NOT A LOT. It was insanly cool...

Think of it this way - no wait, for anything, what-so-ever, at all - no kidding!!!
