Walt Disney World® has taken the word magical to the next level on 2007. Young girls are being transformed into princesses for the day, cast members are handing out free Mickey Mouse ears, and random guests are reveling in free dream fast passes. If there was ever a time when the enchantment of ©Disney was brought into question, 2007 will blow all doubt out of the water. So, why all the enchantment? At the beginning of the year Walt Disney World® kicked off “The Year of a Million Dreams.” The promotion calls for one million dreams and many “magical moments” to be handed out to guests at random throughout the year.

Hundreds of lucky guests have found themselves the recipients of a magical moment or dream already. The delivery of these special moments always carries an element of surprise, making them even more memorable. Magical moments and dreams can be anything from a chance to visit every ©Disney theme park in the world, special tours and unexpected “royal” dinners, to a free lanyard or hat. The most unique dream giveaway of all though is a chance to stay the night in the Cinderella castle.

The family that wins this dream is in for a full day of royal treatment. After a photo session and tour of their home for the night, the family is made Grand Marshals of the park’s afternoon parade. Afterwards, winners are treated to a feast at Cinderella’s Royal Table and a meet-and-greet with Cinderella herself. Before the park closes, the winning family is treated to the best seats in ©Disney to watch the night’s fireworks, and still, their special treatment has just begun. The park stays open for two hours after closing for the family to explore the park and go on educational tours.

When they return to the castle to sleep, the winning family is greeted by a fridge stocked full of snacks and drinks. What used to be living accommodations for the ©Disney family itself have since been converted into a royal suite. Guests are whisked away to medieval times when they find themselves staying in this marble-floored fantasy land. The luxurious queen-sized beds are layered with feather blankets and pillows. There are mirrors and portraits that magically turn into televisions. A limestone fireplace with a fiber-optics fire blazing inside graces the royal bedchamber for an added touch of warmth. The bathroom has a multi-jet Jacuzzi tub with a waterfall faucet and special underwater lighting. The walls are decorated with ornate mosaics, and the ceiling has inlaid twinkling stars.

In the morning the lucky family is awakened by a personalized message from Cinderella and they then return to their scheduled vacation at Walt Disney World®. It’s a dream come true for anyone visiting Disney, and it could be yours.
