Same with us on our trip in December. I felt like I needed to go to
Rent-A-Child so I could have a ghost of a chance at winning even the
low tier prizes.

FINALLY got a minor dream on last week's trip, and I was traveling solo:
The prizes seem to be awarded by random time/location, so when I walked
into Rafiki's Planet Watch last Sunday, and wondered why CM's were all
stopping a group of ten or twelve of us at the door, we all got an AK
Dream Fastpass to explain why.

(And ironically, it *wasn't* my "dream", as I was getting ready to leave
and hop over to another park, but all the regular Everest FP's were sold
out by that point, CM's kept asking about it, and I got thumbs-up from
Lilo & Stitch.) :)

That's really cool! Glad you got one of the prizes. I know I'm being
my cynical self saying it seemed that only people with kids in tow
seemed to be getting the Dream prizes. But that's the way it just
seemed last December. I never saw anyone single, not even a straggler
from a group, that had one of the Dream Fastpasses. Granted, I didn't
see a lot of people with the Fastpasses, but you get my drift.

Hey, even if you only used one of the Fastpasses, it was cool that you
got one of the prizes. Maybe their's hope for me on my next solo trip.
But please don't tell me I have to go over to Rat-Feces Planet Watch
(My own special name for that place.) to get one. That is SUCH a
commitment of time and SUCH a long walk over there, with so little
return for the effort.

(Used three of them--Had never been on Kali before, but needed to for a
trivia quiz, and you can never get too much Dinosaur or Primeval Whirl.)

Go to attractions, that's the only advice anybody can give.
As to whether they fish them out more from the big attraction lines or
from the "forgotten" ones, haven't been able to figure that one out yet.

Well, it was slow-season, so Pocahontas wasn't at Adventureland or MGM,
and hey... :)
