2007 marks the year of a million dreams at Walt Disney World attractions
in Florida and California! And literally -- millions of dreams will
come true!
Guests at random can be awarded anything from special mouse ears,
to a tea party with Alice and the Mad Hatter. They can even win
trips like a lucky family from Plainfield, Illinois! After spending
a day at Epcot, their dream came true with a trip to Disney Land!
"We've got a wonderful group of people called the Dream Squad.
They go to a specific point at a specific time, it might be the
third car on this attraction at 2 o'clock and if you're in the right
seat, you're the one who won that prize," said Faron Kelley, Disney
Parks Project Development Director.
And a dream of every Disney fan can now become a reality! During
the year of a million dreams -- for the first time ever -- a different
family almost every night will have the opportunity to stay at Cinderella's
castle at the Magic Kingdom in a brand new suite that's been created
just for this celebration!
"When you go into the bed chamber, the guest chamber, you have…this
royal canopy beds with heavy draping…There's a beautiful 17th century
portrait over the fireplace that magically turns into our flat screen
TV…when you're up there, you feel you're in the castle," said Cathy
Carver, magineer.
And, as if thousands of dreams bestowed daily aren't enough, four
new attractions are debuting!
"We all remember the sea gulls from Finding Nemo, right? Well
here at Epcot, we can relive all the fun from the movie at The Seas
with Nemo and Friends," said one worker.
Just hop on a "Clamobile" and check out the amazing technology
that gives the stars of "Finding Nemo" the appearance of actually
swimming with the marine life in a real six million gallon saltwater
aquarium!
"The puppets were actually designed by Michael Curry and he did
the puppets for The Lion King on Broadway…so, just amazing the details,"
said Carrie Matson, Animal Kingdom Brand Manager.
"Here at the Laugh Floor Comedy Kingdom, coming this spring, you'll
get a chance to hang out with some of my favorite characters from
the movie, Monsters, Inc," said another worker.
