During my traditions we were in the spot where they were giving Dream Fastpasses. They ended up actually giving something to us: Dream Ears.

How many times I go in a year? Well being a CM, everyday except Monday - Wednesday. But since it is summer now, everyday. As a guest, 3-5 times a year.

We have been to Disneyland on average 1-2 times a month for the last 2 years and we finally won a Dream Fastpass coming off Pinocchio in the early morning. I hear they pass them out mostly in the early morning. Good luck!

good info....early morning. Anyone know where the "hotspots" are if any? I go about 5-6 times a year (I live in utah) and I've never gotten any. I would LOVE the ears! More than the passes actually!! I see people with both so I just assumed that you get both at the same time.... not true?

I got A dream fastpass once last year around the holidays. I recieved it from a family that was exiting the park and decided to give it to me. Unfortunately, it was very late and I had hardly any time to use it. Last year I went to Disneyland maybe 10-12 times. This year I don't have an annual pass so I've only been maybe 3 times.

My husband bought my son a pair of the ears on ebay for about $6.00. After we got back from Disneyland in June--not having won anything--he bought a pair for our son. Perhaps they aren't as meaningful because we didn't win them, but at least we have a pair =)

And enter the problem with giveaways - someone is bound to go home feeling less special than someone else. That's never seemed like real Disney magic to me. Real Disney magic has always seemed like something available to anyone stepping through those gates. That's why Walt said Disneyland is our land.

I'll be very happy when this whole ridiculous thing is over & done with.

And my guess is it will continue. I am rarely a negative-type person, but it seems to me that if you are going to plan a promotion, it should--even in a very small way--include everyone.

Well gosh I'm sorry for having an opinion about that. Maybe I should just walk around Disneyland with a big smile permanently carved into my face so no one need worry at all about anyone having a negative opinion about anything Disney does. After all, as we all know, Disney NEVER makes mistakes & EVERYTHING that happens at Disneyland is the greatest thing ever.

Censoring opinions you may not agree with is not the answer. Everyone who does this complaning about negative opinions and/or "negative people" is acting negative themselves when they do that, and thus is being completely hypocritical. We all have the right to express our opinions, and NOT be chastized for them.

My wife and I go probably on adverage once every two months. We where coming from Fantasy land to Frontier by crossing the back side (by the disney stables) They where there on the bridge. We almost walked right past them, then I noticed they where handing out something so I went back, and we nabbed them!!!

well speaking about being negative... lol I go once a week since October 23, 2008. The first week I went 4 times. So I go often... neither me nor any of my friends who also go once a week all day have ever won this... I mean its a really special thing.. and I want to win... so I am bitter about it, i mean there are times where I go friday and saturday morning just in case we could have gotten one... still nothing I mean at this point I dont even wanna use it, I just wanna frame it.

I went a few weeks ago and I got one! It was on that path to the right of Sleeping Beauty's Castle on the bridge. In the morning, I was trying to get to Nemo before the line got too long (which it was when I got there: 60 min) and they handed one to me. It was nice, going on most of the rides without waiting in the crazy standby lines. Unforunately, I was the only person in my family that got one. So whenever they got regular fastpasses, I used my dream ones with them. I only go to DLR when we have the money for a vacation.

Thumbs down I sure wish I had won....

Been going every year for some time now. The Dream stuff was starting what, like 3 years ago? So nope, haven't gotten any.

I have seen them given out, though, and that's really cool.

To be honest, if I got a string of those things, I would most likely give it away to the first person I saw who looked like they could really use them.

It would still be neat to get them handed to me, though. I've spent a lot on Disney trips, so even if I gave them away, I'd feel like I had gotten something back! And if they gave me the chance to be the person to do something special for someone else at the parks, that would be the gift of all gifts.

Whenever I see the ads about the YOAMD I become envious of the people who recieve the huge trips and prizes and passes. But when I visit the park, I foget all about the YOAMD because it really isn't that big of a deal to me. As long as I'm at Disneyland and I'm having a good time, I'm happy. I'm not going to waste a whole day going on a wild goose chase to try and get some passes that I probably won't even use very much anyway. There is my two cents.
