Let's say the computer picks the 4th person to come out of a particular gift shop after 3 PM ...and that 4th person is really strange, lots of tattoos and body piercings, wild hair, etc. How much you want to bet that the Dream Squad has the leeway to select #5 or #6 instead of #4? Just my hunch. Gloria in Miami

Dunno. Since the only example we've had so far was more specific than that, we have no way of knowing whether some of the instructions are as vague as "4th person coming out of shop after 3:00." Maybe some of the lesser prizes (e.g. Dream FastPasses) work that way, but the castle stays are programmed tighter. I had the same questions in my mind until I saw the details of the first castle winners. Any of our resident CMs or parents of CMs know more about the process and care to share?? Patty

The quote from the article is "randomly picked by a roving Disney Dream Squad." This still sounds like Disney could pull some shenanigans if the random person is "undesirable" in Disney's eyes... --- Yet another satisfied customer of Bartender Sam!
From: Dollywood Hillery on 27 Jan 2007 14:44 Dollywood is never completely unmanned, so I would assume that would be doubly true for WDW. I'm not just talking about security.

I would hope Bartender Sam is wrong about the Dream Team ruling out unconventional persons as winners. On the other hand, after a selection is made, potential winners must have to be qualified, i.e., not an employee of WD or ABC, not a known Tigger abuser, etc. I think the lucky family would be treated in a "your wish is our command" or "if you can dream it we can do it" manner, limo to DTD or elsewhere, changing ressies at the California Grill to the next night, getting them to MCO on time, etc. There would have to be at least one or two CMs assigned to the winners of such a prize, anyway. I am also dreading to see the first lawsuit -- "I shudda won dat prize!" Of course this is just speculation -- "If I Ruled the World...." -- Paul in NH (PSS) Looking forward to -- March 5-10 -- OKW p s s a w y e r at c o m c a s t dot n e t |
