Question for CM's about Extreme Makeover...

[AliciaLuvzDizne]

...Home Edition.


Anyone who is familiar with this show knows that the family who's hose gets madeover, gets a vacation to WDW while their house is being demolished and rebuilt.

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen these families in the parks.
Also, how much of the WDW expierence do they get vs. how much is for TV?

I remember reading on this board about the visit Oprah made when she brought all of those underprivelaged children...and stayed for a whopping hour or so, and it made me think about it while I was watching Extreme Makeover tonght.

They (the family) usually hang out for as long as the taping takes - isn't it a week? Anywho, they do spend real time just having fun, there is some photoshoot and footage stuff for the show, but for the most part they just hang out for the period like normal guests.

The only time you really know that they are EM:HE people are when they are sitting down recording, and have the Dvd/Tv infront of them. The rest of the time they are with a Guest Relations person. You can't tell by that if they are famous, rich, or Extreme people.
