The Year of a Million Dreams
Running until Dec. 2008 at both resorts, featuring the debut of an incredible line-up of new attractions, parades and entertainment, plus new technologies that allow you to customize your Disney Park experience.
During The Year of a Million Dreams, Disney Cast Members will award millions of dreams – both large and small, including many “money-can’t-buy” experiences – to Guests selected at random through a unique
“Disney Dreams Giveaway” promotion. One lucky family will even get the Magic Kingdom® Park all to themselves for the launch of The Year of a Million Dreams. Keep reading for details.
“This will be an unbelievable celebration unlike anything our Guests have ever experienced,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
The “unbelievable”
The “unbelievable” 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 the Walt Disney World Resort and a Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Resort, both expected to be complete by January 2007.
Dreams Large and Small
A day of royal treatment will end with a night of enchantment inside Cinderella Castle for a different lucky guest each night. Cinderella Castle Suite at the Magic Kingdom Park, will allow Disney Guests to stay overnight inside the park and enjoy a view shared only by Tinker Bell. The lavishly decorated bedroom is located in a space originally planned as an in-park apartment for the use of the Disney family.
