Yesterday I was in MGM around 12:30. I went to ToT and saw there was a 40 minute wait. I'd hoped to use one of my old FPs, but the CM, for the first time, didn't let me use it. The time was wrong. I decided that I had plenty of time to kill before Lights, Motors, Action, so I got in line. I quickly discovered the line was nowhere near 40 minutes, matter of fact, the stand-by line was shorter than the FP line and both were only as long as the final corner before you enter the lobby. We quickly are queued into the right hand library, as I notice, the left hand library isn't being used. I wonder how they say there's a 40 minute wait. Well, the door stayed closed for a long time and when it finally opened I noticed what I thought was a CM in training and a handler/observer. Once in the room there were more CMs than I've ever seen in a pre-show. After the lights came back on, we were, as they say "punked". The CMs were a Dream Team and we'd all just won a Wish, one hour this evening after MGM closed, all winners would be treated to one private hour in the park.
Here's the part that I knew would happen as predicted. Months ago, I predicted that I'd never meet a Dream Team or if I did, my prize would be useless to me because I wouldn't be able to use it. Sure enough, my plans were to have been on the road for home by 3 PM, 4 PM at the latest. No way I was going to hang out for 6 hours and then drive home at 11. I didn't want to be getting home at 3:00 AM, for sure I'd have had to stop and nap on the way home. So, I kept the button, but didn't take the wrist band.
Then, I went to Star Tours, still having plenty of time before the show. Sign says 20 minute wait. When we finally made it to the loading area, I couldn't believe my luck! A Dream Team was set up on Gate 3. I've been up to WDW numerous times since October and nary a sighting, yet here I ame crossing paths with Dream Teams twice in 30 minutes time. I would have had two buttons if I'd been loaded onto 3 instead of 1. Yet, big deal, I still would have won another unfulfilled dream if I had. And what's up with 9 PM anyway, don't they know there's fireworks?! If I had planned on Illuminations, I wouldn't have been able to use this wish either way.
