Anaheim: A Million Disney Dreams


From an overnight stay inside Cinderella Castle to a “Golden Fastpass", dreams big and small will come true at Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts during the “Year of a Million Dreams,” a first-of-its-kind celebration of the individual dreams of Disney Park guests.

The year-long celebration, beginning Oct. 1, 2006, at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California (and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida) will feature the debut of an incredible line-up of new attractions and entertainment at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts, plus new technologies that allow guests to customize their Disney park experience.

And, for the first time, during the “Year of a Million Dreams,” Disney cast members will award one million dreams – both large and small, including many “money-can’t-buy” experiences – to guests selected at random through a unique “Disney Dreams Giveaway” promotion.

For more information about the “Year of a Million Dreams” celebration and the Disney Dreams Giveaway promotion go to www.mydisneyparks.com.
