wow, this blow by blow from the CM's perspective is very cool. I love hearing the details like this. The cue, the curtained windows, the camaraderie. What more did the family receive today, after the initial? Fast passes, dinner at the royal table, a VIP host, special seat for the fireworks? Anyone know?

Here's a link to Channel 9's site with a little info and a short video.

It's a shame that the CM's between Town Square to Center Street rushed so close into the carpet and stood directly on the edge so that hardly any of the characters could be seen. (Which is why the director must have constantly asked them not to do to keep such an outcome from happening.) But what a magical moment nonetheless. I can't wait to see the actual moment photo that they must have taken before the street filled up with waving Mickey hands. If anyone finds it online please be sure to share it with the rest of us. All around though it was an incredible moment that the Spangler family will remmeber all their lives. Congratulations to everyone. :sohappy:

I'm pulling the video down
Folks,
I hate to do this but the link to the video is being kidnapped all over the net and the bandwidth utilization on my web site has skyrocketed. 80% of my monthly allocation has been used in the last 4 hours. Unfortunately most of it is not coming from WDWMAGIC viewers.
I have a pretty good idea of what the traffic is like from WDWMagic from other things I've posted but other sites and people have abused things. It's being posted on multiple different bulletin board sites including instructions on how to bypass the referral block. Someone has even posted it on their MySpace site.
If someone has another place to post it, I'll be happy to get the file to you to post but I'm not willing to pay the incremental bandwidth cost for this at this time.
My apologies to those who didn't get a chance to see it by now,
Don

Thanks so much for the new link to the video Don!
As for the family reactions, it's interesting to note in one of the photos found online that the mother and daughter are holding out their arms to the right of the picture (Their left) and the son and father are holding out their arms to the left of the picture (Their right). Minnie came out on the daughter's side and Mickey on the son's side. A psychologically gender based moment? Maybe...but a very sweet one to realise and absolutely marvelous to see.

Then again, we were doing rehearsals for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours or so. Chances are they had the family stand in such a way that Mickey ran to the son and Minnie to the daughter. Just a thought.
The looks on their faces was priceless. I hope they do more stuff like this.

Awww....that was pretty cool. Thanx for sharing the video link. I know if that was me, I would be in such shock, and having a reporter ask me questions would not be easy to deal with. :hammer: :lol:

OMG I'M SO TIRED!!! But it was so worth it!! The cue was when the "BE OUR GUEST" music started to play and then we ran out all crazy like bouncing and screaming and clapping for the family.
But they had no donuts for us, which made us sad....very sad indeed. The bakery was preparing for morning hours so they were teasing us with the smell!! *curses*
Like several other CMs mentioned, we were inside the stores waiting along with characters and we had two rehearsals. We were NOT TO GET ON THE "FORRRRRRRRRRRRRBIDDEN RED CARPET" XD!! I was in the mainstreet watch store =D And I had to open the door to get out of there and when it was three minutes till, I swear I could hear all of our hearts beating, just waiting for the rush,.,,,, IT WAS SUCH A RUSH when we heard the cue.....
While our store was covered with curtains, I had just enough curtain to peak outside....when I saw the family walk down the red carpet, holding hands and taking small curious steps, I started bawling. When the cue came up, My heart just stopped and we ran!!!
It was truly a heart warming feeling to do this for family and to see it from my point of view was just....wow....amazing. It was worth not getting sleep! THE FORBIDDEN RED CARPET OF DOOM!! Enjoy!!

The parents seemed estatic, the kids were a bit quiet in the interview but I kinda hope thats down to nerves and all (I'ld prolly be more likely to chatter and be all OMG MICKEY AND MINNIE).
Still they seems dot make the most of it. Maybe they justrealy wanted to get on with their park private time XDDD

Found this online this morning. The second one is the best as there's more footage than shown on TV and you can actually see that there were indeed specially chosen characters there as the centerpiece to greet the Spanglers.
