a dream won

Hi all, we had a fabulous vacation and are well and truly shattered now! We did win a fastpass dream in Hollywood studios. Well technically my DH and MIL did as I was shopping with my DD! They went into the Star Wars ride and were ushered into a 'cabin' with only a further 8 others. The CM on the door said she thought it was wierd but that she was only allowed to put 10 people into the room together for the ride. Just then, a CM with the 'dreams bag' came in and duly handed out 10 fastpasses for that day. Brilliant. To say my face was a picture when I re met them both is an understatement! LOL
My mil was very kind to me though and said she had done all she had wanted to and gave it to me so I got to ride loads of things again. I did let her have the Toy Story mania one though as I knew she loved that ride.
Brilliant!

Re: a dream won

Congrats! I love that the "year" has been extended so it gives more ppl a chance to get a dream.

Is the FastPass dream for just one ride or can you use it more than once?

Re: a dream won

Congratulations on your win!! The fastpasses are absolutely the best. We won them in March at MK coming off of Winnie the Pooh.

Re: a dream won

I lvoe the way they presented those passes!
Just curious... after the passes were handed out, did the ride go on as planned?

(p.s. I love that ride!)

Nope the Dream Fatspass is for each ride that you can normally fastpass. They are little tabs that you simply break off when you want to ride the ride or see attraction and hand over just like a normal fastpass.

The ride still went ahead as planned only just with those 10 people 'on board' as such. Way cool! A dream and a ride to themselves!
