From 8:30 until 9:30 on Tuesday evening most major attractions will remain open for Dream Hour winners, although stores and restaurants will be closed. Look for the Dream Squad distributing the lanyards on Tuesday.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros If anybody cares, on Friday they were filming something up in the Dreams Suite.

They were really bright, and made the NOS alley near there look down right creepy because it was so dark, but it was no darker than usual. We asked several CM's who was up there, and one just said some people doing a commercial, and another said it was DL celebrities. I don't know if that's true or not, but there were a ton of security guards all over the West side that night...
Originally Posted By TP2000 I saw that filming too, in the late afternoon. They had the "perfect family" being photographed on the balcony who were the usual Disney commercial personas. You know the type.... not white or caucasian, but certainly not ethnic enough to pin down a certain race. Just sort of that "vaguely non-white brunettes" that is so popular now. I laughed. And I'm sure they'll play lush, soaring music and make the edges of the frame all misty and foggy while the vaguely non-white brunette family beams with intensely deep happiness. Who comes up with this stuff anyway?!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Thank you for mentioning the "perfect family" FerretAfros. We also get a kick out of that family in the ads. TP2000, you described them perfectly! A LOL moment for me Westsider, I know it's early but we'd all love to hear how it went. Some friends of ours are there now, I hope they win some extra magic, I know they'd love it!
Originally Posted By godalejunior We were at DL from opening until about 11:30 and did not see any of the passes, however we did get dream fast passes.

I did notice this evening several people with the lanyards in CA and that is how I figured out that the event was going on. We did not need the extra hour as we walked on to pretty much everything we wanted between both parks. Oh......Screamin was an 8 min. wait.

We went into the old festival of fools area, and they played music and got everyone dancing while they cleared the park. Then they turned us loose with about half a dozen e-ticket rides to choose from. We managed to get on thunder mountain and Indy before DS had a melt-down and we decided to call it a night. The experience was amazing! I loved seeing the park so empty! We were here for the YOAMD last year and didn;t get anything. Today was our first day in the park for this trip and we scored something big

Originally Posted By godalejunior Yes, it was about 20 min. after opening. It would be the pathway to the left of the castle if you were facing the castle.
Originally Posted By danmcmartin Thats where and when we got our dream fastpass last summer.

I doubt they are there everyday, but they must have set areas (or at least areas they like) to pass them out at.
