      When I was 3 and 5 year I won a year of a million ears from both Walt Disney World and Land. On my latest trip to Disneyland some oil banker forget the name ( he was a member of club of 33 and he was offering money for those Mickey ears

      I was actually lucky enough to win a night in the Cinderella Castle dream suite! I was the first person to ride on the right side of a certain Dumbo after 9:05 am. We got to be in the afternoon parade, a personal guide who could get us to the front of any line, VIP seating for the night time parade and fireworks, free dinner at Cinderella's round table, and free breakfast the next morning at Crystal Palace! It was definitely a magical experience.

    My family was lucky enough to win a stay in the Disneyland Dream Suite in November 2007. It was the most magical day! I'll never forget walking around Disneyland at 2 AM in a bathrobe and slippers during our personal after hours tour. My love for Disney was never the same after that amazing day

    My family went for what will you celebrate in WDW. My daughter’s birthday was soon so we went and We did get in for free. My family got to eat at Cinderella’s royal table and meet Cinderella and Charming and my daughter never forgets meeting them. She even got a cupcake from Cinderella. Best Disney vacation ever

    A cast member in WDW Magic Kingdom set up a photo op for me where I got to sit on a huge pile of Mickey plushes in a store! Also, I got to announce the Little Mermaid show at Hollywood Studios & was given special pins by cast members throughout my vacation. I was 9 and i'll never forget this trip!!!

    I wasn't ever picked when I went in 2006 but one of the hotel cast members saw me (who was about 10 at the time) holding a door for some people while I was waiting for the bus. They surprised me by giving me one of those limited addition Tinker bell pixie dust pins as a reward for being so nice. They told me to make sure i don't trade it because it was a very special Pixie dust pin. I wasn't expecting that at all, I was just simply doing it because I like making people smile and was passing time. That was one of the highlights of my trip. The pin is currently behind a glass frame next to some of the pictures from our trip.

      Your story shows how a small magical moment from a Cast Member over 10 years ago has stuck with you till today, true Disney magic. Thanks for sharing with us! - Luke

    Ok so my family got lucky as hell, in Magic Kingdom one of the Cast Members said to look for her fiance in Hollywood Studios. He found us and he stayed with us for the whole day, we skipped every line, saw the control room for Tower of Terror, Walked in the parade, made sure my little brother could do the Jedi Academy. And even then he told a friend of his in Epcot, and we got to skip all the lines in Epcot the next day and see the behind the scenes of almost every ride. It was an insane trip.

    I don’t think I personally ever won a prize but one of my cousins won a pin. She gave me a bag full of pins a couple months ago and one of those pins was in the bag. I was shocked to find that pin towards the bottom of the bag, but it made my day finding it😂

    • @ReviewTyme
      @ReviewTyme  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds like a great family memory connected with that pin! Thanks for sharing it with us :) - Luke

    I remember my family and I winning the dream fast passes on our first trip to WDW in 2006. Seeing this video just rehashed a lot of very old memories that I had completely forgotten about for over 10 years now haha.

    We missed YOMD by 1 day. Visited WDW 9/22 to 9/30/2006. BUT!! I think we received a bit of the Magic that was coming a few days before the official start. Staying off-site, I called Disney Dining to confirm our Cinderella Dinner at 1900 Park Fair. The CM answered and asked me how things in my home town were; he recognized the phone exchange and told me his hometown was 2 towns away from mine. We got to the dinner and checked in. A while later, a Cast Member approached and asked if we would allow our 7 year old daughter to open the dinner with Cinderella and Prince Charming. We said yes and our daughter was introduced to all those waiting and led hand-in-hand to our table by Cinderella and Prince Charming. I've always believed the Dining CM I spoke to earlier made this happen!!!

    I love the addition of the ad from late 2000’s near the end. My cousin is the one waving on big thunder near the end. Always thought that was so cool.

    • @ReviewTyme

      That's awesome! Must be a nice bragging point for your cousin to say they were in a Disney ad! - Luke

    I remember this when I went to Disneyworld in 2007. I remember when we were in line for RockN Rollercoaster, we were given lanyards with two special pins on them! Also, my family went to Disneyland later that year and we were given the dream fast passes after we exited the Indiana Jones ride. :) it was such an amazing day!

    My first trip to Disney World was New Years 2008 then we went there on my honeymoon at the end of 2008... and we’ve gone every year since. This promo is special though because it evokes those “first timer” memories. It was a great promo❤️

    When I was little in around 2008 I got 8 fast passes and a ticket that was signed by a cast member that allowed me any One item from any Disney shop. I got a buzz light year spinner toy LOL I should have gone to uptown Jewelers and gotten the diamond encrusted Castle that costs $15000

    I’ve always had such a vivid memory of getting a lanyard with pins from a cast member in journey into imagination but never knew why. I still have the lanyard but my parents forgot what the whole event was and now I know and it warms my heart!! :)

    I got a Dream Fastpass back in 2008 at Disneyland! It was first thing in the morning at Snow White's wishing well, and the Dream Squad was there. So many lines skipped in one day!

  • @TheMsjenna
    @TheMsjenna 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Our first trip to Disney World was for the Year of a Million Dreams. We all got ears in Downtown Disney, weird to see it last year when we went at Disney Springs and completely different. We got fast passes for 4 in Animal Kingdom. Then our 3 boys and my bro in laws 2 boys were able to go and make chocolate dipped marshmallows. I don’t know or remember if that was part of the million dreams. I just remember that they picked our boys to go in and make them. It was tons of fun. Still have 3 pairs of the ears.

    • @ReviewTyme

      Whether the last part was for the Year of a Million Dreams or not it still sounds like a magical moment that I'm glad you got to share with your family! - Luke

    Hopefully you don't take offense to this, but I feel like your name could better reflect what a quality channel this is. When I first clicked on a video by "ReviewTyme", I thought it'd be a cheap review vlog, but it's quickly become one of my favorite Disney/theme park channels. This isn't really just a review channel anymore. Maybe a re-branding (ParkTyme or something) could help you build subscribers faster? Anyway, great video as always!

    I won fast pass lanyards at least 10 times. Passes we gave away because we were Premium holders. There were other prizes but I can’t recall just what they were.
