Hey everyone... I was just surfing thought YouTube.com and I saw the full length commercial for the Year of a Million Dreams celebration. Has anyone else seen it? Has anyone seen it on TV? I wonder why they didn't put the full-length version on the Mydisneyparks.com?

I just went to youtube.com and watched that commercial. All I can say is, amazing! I can’t believe they haven’t been airing that on television, or at least on mydisneyparks.com. Just watching that commercial makes me so excited about my next Disney trip!

[minnieme3]

yeah, isn't it great. I love Disney commercials, they make me feel like a kid again.

[mouse20]

I honestly got a little teary eyed watching that commercial.

[katylady33]

Where did you guys find the commercial on youtube? I can't find it anywhere. :confused:
And I haven't seen it on tv either, I wish they would show it.

[yellowrosedtxn]

When I went to the website, there is a search feature. I just put in Year of a million and hit the search button. It will come up.

[minnieme3]

yeah that is exactly how I found it. I wonder why they don't put it on the website or on T.V.? It would get way better exposure.:|

Thanks yellowrosedtxn, why didn't I think of that? Wow, that is an amazing commercial. It really makes you feel like your dreams can come true.

[minnieme3]

I have shown that video to all my friends and it seems to move everyone I show it to. I'am going to write Disney and tell them they have to get it out there by either the website or television.:D

[Iceman]

The contrast between the look, feel, and emotion of Disney ads and Universal ads is as striking as the difference between the parks themselves. Thanks for sharing this link!

[mouse20]

For those of you who can't find it or havn't seen it, check it out....touching :)

I haven't seen in on TV yet, but I heard they are airing it on ABC and the Disney Channel.

I totally agree, it always seems like Universal is trying to make their park look cool. Disney doesn't even have to try, they show the emotion you feel when you are at a park having the time of your life.;)

Another interesting tidbit...the other day I heard that there will be a "dream squad" of 13 cast members that are in charge of handing out goodies and selecting the "dreamers." Anyone heard about this?

I have heard about the 13 CM's, they will be getting the schedule of when and where to suprise guests with prizes and granting their wishes. It sounds really legit, I think the odds of getting pickes are pretty good. Good luck!!!!:D

One Lucky Family Getting Magic Kingdom All to Themselves For the Launch of Disney's 'Year of A Million Dreams'

A First-of-its Kind Dream Come True Makes for An Unforgettable Experience in Magic Kingdom!

BURBANK, Calif., June. 7 -- For the first time ever, to launch Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams" celebration, one lucky guest and family will receive a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true as they get the Magic Kingdom park all to themselves.

The winning family will enter Magic Kingdom on a red-carpeted Main Street, U.S.A. lined with cast members in place for their exclusive visit. They'll enjoy a VIP itinerary as they tour each land of the park, experience favorite attractions and visit favorite characters.

As the winning family leaves each land, other guests will fill the park behind them -- ensuring plenty of spectators as they make their way back down Main Street, U.S.A. as grand marshals of the daily parade. The winning family will conclude their remarkable visit by enjoying the spectacular fireworks over Cinderella Castle from a special viewing location.

The "Keys to the Magic Kingdom" promotion will lead up to the Oct. 1, 2006, launch of the "Year of a Million Dreams" celebration at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The winning family will enjoy their VIP visit to Magic Kingdom in October, early in the year-long celebration. The "Year of a Million Dreams" is a first-of-its-kind event that celebrates the individual dreams of Disney Park guests from around the world. Another million dreams will be awarded to Disneyland and Walt Disney World guests through the "Disney Dreams Giveaway," a separate promotion that will run throughout the "Year of a Million Dreams."

"Our goal is to make dreams come true for every single guest who visits our Disney parks," says Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "Dreams and wishes are synonymous with Disney and what better way to make a vacation dream come true than by allowing one lucky family to enjoy the Magic Kingdom by themselves."

http://media.prnewswire.com/en/images/spacer.gifDuring 'Year of a Million Dreams' Celebration Disney Cast Members to Award a Million Magical Dreams

From an Overnight Stay inside Cinderella Castle to a Golden FASTPASS, Dreams Big and Small to Come True During a First-of-Its-Kind Celebration That Also Features New Attractions and Entertainment at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts

BURBANK, Calif., June 7 -- From an overnight stay inside Cinderella Castle to a Golden FASTPASS, dreams big and small will come true at Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts during Disney's "Year of a Million Dreams," a first-of-its-kind celebration of the individual dreams of Disney Parks guests.


The year-long celebration, beginning Oct. 1, 2006, at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, will feature the debut of an incredible lineup of new attractions and entertainment at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts, plus new technologies that allow guests to customize their Disney park experience.

And, for the first time, during the "Year of a Million Dreams" celebration, Disney cast members will award a million dreams -- both large and small, including many "money-can't-buy" experiences -- to guests selected through a random process as part of a unique "Disney Dreams Giveaway" promotion.

"Throughout this incredible celebration, special dreams and unique experiences once thought impossible will be awarded by our cast every day," said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "Disney parks are always the place where dreams come true -- but even more so during the 'Year of a Million Dreams.'"

The "impossible" includes the creation of over-the-top, overnight experiences for winning guests at both East and West Coast resorts: a royal bedchamber inside Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort and a Mickey Mouse Penthouse at Disneyland Resort, both expected to be complete by January 2007.

A day of royal treatment will end with a night of enchantment inside Cinderella Castle for a different lucky guest each night. Cinderella's royal bedchamber, now under construction at Magic Kingdom, will allow Disney guests to stay overnight inside the park and enjoy a view shared only by Tinker Bell. The lavishly decorated bedroom will be located in a space originally planned as an in-park apartment for the use of the Disney family.

And for a lucky Disneyland guest, each night, the all-new Mickey Mouse Penthouse at Disneyland Hotel will pour on the Mickey charm and include magical views overlooking both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure parks. The extraordinary penthouse will be decorated in all things Mickey, with finishing touches by none other than Minnie Mouse herself.

In addition, during the year-long celebration, other Disney dreams both large and small will be awarded in the "Disney Dreams Giveaway" promotion, such as:

* Traveling to each Disney resort around the world to serve as grand marshal in a Disney parade. * A variety of unique Disney vacation experiences. * Admission to special parties and other extraordinary experiences in the Disneyland and Walt Disney World parks. * Private meetings with favorite Disney characters. * Or, a Golden FASTPASS ticket with unique access entitlements to some of Disney's most popular attractions.

New Attractions and Entertainment Planned for the "Year of a Million Dreams"

Throughout the "Year of a Million Dreams" celebration, Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts will debut major new attractions:

* Disneyland Resort in California

-- Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage -- Inspired by Disney -- Pixar's "Finding Nemo," this all-new E-ticket adventure will take guests on a real (and unbelievable) underwater excursion. (Summer 2007)

-- Rockin' Space Mountain -- Space Mountain is getting a new twist. Thanks to new lighting and technology, Disney's classic attraction will become a new experience in which rockets will rock it through the greatest concert in the universe. An all-new soundtrack will fit the exciting twists and turns of Disney's rocket classic. (Spring 2007)

* Walt Disney World Resort in Florida

-- "The Seas with Nemo & Friends" at Epcot -- Nemo is lost -- again -- and guests aboard "clam-mobiles" join his friends to search one of the world's largest saltwater aquariums for the playful clownfish in a stunning display of new entertainment technology inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Finding Nemo." (Late 2006)

-- "Finding Nemo-The Musical" at Disney's Animal Kingdom -- Also inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Finding Nemo," the Great Barrier Reef comes to colorful life in an all-new musical filled with spectacular scenery, elaborate puppetry and music by a Tony-Award-winning composer. (Late 2006)

-- The Laugh Floor Comedy Club at Magic Kingdom -- Guests find the power of laughter in an engaging and interactive new adventure inspired by Disney- Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." as they match wits with the one-eyed hero Mike Wazowski and his friends. (Early 2007)

Additionally, special entertainment and programs will be in place at the parks and resorts to accommodate the desires and wishes of would-be Disney Princesses, pirates, adventurers and space explorers. Guests will be able to customize their visit to a Disney park to pursue the "Dream Track" of their choice with on-line planning tools and in-park technology to help them become the hero or princess they've always dreamed of being.

Oh my Gosh.... today is the last day to register for the grand prize! Get everyone you know to register, before it is to late!!!

[minnieme3]

It's all over. . . now it's just the waiting game. I will be checking my email everday multiple times a day starting today for the next week. I more than likely will drive myself crazy, but I can't wait to find out if I won!:eek:

Some new rumors...I heard that no one will actually be getting their personal dreams granted. There is just a list of prizes that will be given out (small and large) by the the "Dream Squad" to people that happen to be in the right place at the right time. It's gonna be a little different than what we thought but still great!;)

You didn't honestly believe that they were going to go around and simply grant people anything they asked for, did you? If they had gone that route, I can't imagine it would have taken more than a couple hours before someone was asking for controlling interest in the corporation...
