Castle Suite question

If I win the stay in Cinderella's Castle suite, do I have to stay in my room all night? If I wake up at 2 a.m. and need to get some air, can I go out and walk around, or am I locked in? :confused: Are there usually workers all along the walkways throughout the evening? If they're doing landscaping and construction all night, that's not going to be very relaxing. :(

I believe that you are allowed to leave your room, but only with your Cast Member escort. As for noise levels, nighttime maintenance work and construction doesn't seem to be too noisy in general. Unless they were working specifically on the castle itself, I highly doubt you'd notice a thing. Planting flowers and painting are the two most common nighttime jobs, and neither are particularly noisy.

I ran into one of the winning families on 3/2 at the P&P party. They won by sitting on the correct bench at DTD.

How does one find out when and where to be for such a wonderful prize? I would love to win this for my goddaughter when we go in June, it would be a dream come true for her. :wave:

It is completely random...

You can imagine the chaos if the winning location was known - there would be a mass riot!
 
I was very surprised to hear that they won at DTD. I thought they were only pulling people out of the parks.

I initially thought this too. I also would have assumed it would only be people from MK but it appears it can be anyone on Disney property.

Great question Gibson12 I've kindof been wondering the same.

Are tehy still doing the "Kiss goodnight" after WIshes would that wake you up if you were in there?

And is there someone 24/7 waiting outside your door just incase you need to go somewhere/do something.

Does anyone know if after YOAMD this will be something you can pay for? Seems like an ideal Wedding night to me.

I wouldn't think the Kiss Goodnight would be particularly loud inside the castle. The speakers are all around the Hub, not really up in the castle. Also, the Suite faces Fantasyland and not Main Street.

There *is* someone along the lines of a concierge nearby the entire time you're in the suite. From a posting online from a family that won, I believe there's a little office off of the vestibule where the elevator lets you out on that level. When they were leaving in the morning, the CM came out the side door within moments of them coming out of the suite. (not quite the right storyline, but I'm envisioning Pierre the sleeping car porter from "Murder on the Orient Express" sitting at the end of the hallway all night waiting to answer a bell)

As for the person wondering about the contest, where have you been? (Kidding) :animwink: But seriously, you can follow this link to get ALL the details about the various price giveaways as part of the Year of a Million Dreams promotion, including how to enter from home without purchase.

The down-side is that you can't exactly win a night in the Castle Suite using mail-in entries, because you have to be able to use it on the actual day it's awarded. (In fact, the first day that the suite was available as a prize, the computer awarded it to a mail-in entry.) If you win the Suite stay as a mail-in entry, you get a gift basket instead, worth the "Retail Value" of the prize ($587 according to the rules).

Lastly, as for what's happening with the suite after the promotion is done at the end of the year is anyone's guess. Disney hasn't released any details. Some speculate that it would be made available to honeymoon couples, others think it would be rented out for big bucks, and still others wonder if Disney will decide that it's not worth the trouble and will discontinue it.

Wow I'd Love to see that gift basket. I really am surprised with all the people who have won the castle stay by now We havent seen any pictures from the winners except for the first family on that first night.
