Tasha and I both won dreams at MGM on Saturday, along with about 2000 other people who rode a certain Star Tours vehicle that day.
We entered Star Tours right after the parade went by with our fast passes and were the last 2 to get into the 40 passenger Star Tour vehicle just to the right of the entrance. As we entered the gate one of the dream squad members there banded our arms and gave us dream buttons.
After we entered the ride they announced to us all that all 40 of us had won dreams, that we were to meet at Indiana Jones after the park closed at 9-9:30pm for an exclusive party where we'd have the park all to ourselves for an hour. Luckily this was a day that we could stay late and enjoy this dream.
From what I gathered from all the people at the party and seeing all the banded people coming out of Star Tours for the next hour, it seems that everyone riding that particular Star Tours vehicle that day joined the party...I figure 40 people a ride, 5 rides an hour, about 2000 people that's about 10 hours 9am-7pm.
This was only the 2nd time that they had done this.
As we waited for them to clear the park out at Indiana Jones, we were entertained by Blood(?), Mulch and Shears (I was very entertained, they were excellent).
We then went to the special Playhouse Disney dance party where the kids danced with JoJo and Goliath and the Little Einstines (and I relaxed, something I enjoy, while Tasha had fun dancing from 9:25-10:35). Otherwise the other big rides in the park were open for the extra hour.

OH...NARNIA was STILL open despite it's demise as reported by some ill-informed rock-solid sure 'experts'.

2 down 999,998 more dreams to go;-)

and for the record, I've also been awarded "nice" pins by cast members on 2 occasions so far. These are the special Tinkerbell pins given out by CMs to people for doing nice things...where you wear one and give one away to someone else who you see doing something nice. I got mine 1) helping a CM clean up an ice-cream mess left by the Piggy family; and 2) entertaining kids while waiting for the parade with my Lightning McQueen RC car.
(we go up every other weekend)
...
oh, and I'm up to 5 Disney VISA cards, now (we sign up for one everytime we are at Downtown Disney for a $10 gift card).
