3 Years of 3 Million Dreams?

WDWNT Author on March 25, 2008

From the OC Register:

Some families changed their flights. One guest postponed a job interview. And others invited family and friends to gather on the balcony to watch Fantasmic.

As of last Friday, 17 parties had won overnight stays at the Disneyland Dream Suite, which opened Jan. 31, said Steve Arneson, manager of the Dream Squad at the Disneyland Resort, during sessions with reporters last week.

The suite gives winners, who are randomly selected at spots in Disney property, the chance to spend a night at a special apartment in Disneyland over the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

The suite only has enough room for six people to sleep there. But guests have invited up to 16 people to watch the Fantasmic! show from the balcony. Overnight guests get a two-hour tour after the park closes and receive a gift basket, including a crystal bowls engraved with their names and the dates of their stay.

Disney has committed to 266 nights, but may extend the contest another year.

Our friends over at DisneyGeek have posted a new Disneyland Resort Update, & here are a few of the most interesting pictures:


Some of the trams are getting new seats, which have a rougher feel to them


A rare Downtown Disney update… The Pirates room in the World of Disney has been replaced with a Toontown room


A bunch of drawings like this have been placed on the shelves


More pictures of the Toontown room can be found here


A bunch of signs for the Food & Wine Weekends have been placed around DCA. Let’s take a look at a few of them…


The main entrance to the Golden Vine Winery


These signs are on various lamp-posts & light-towers through-out the park


Along the pathway near the Golden Vine Winery


The entrance to Pacific Wharf


Pretty self-explanatory


Quickly over to Disneyland we go… A better look at the new Grand Marshal vechicle


And finally, this sign appears outside the Dream Suite if it is occupied
