As we got to the CMs, they gave a FP to the people in front of us and then looked at us and said "oh sorry were out." There were only us and another couple left from that train who didn't get them. I was so so sad!!! We have been multiple times since YOAMD started and have never won anything and I was so excited....until this. I was really bummed. I feel that they know how many people come off of a train and if anything they would have an extra because of single riders!!! So Sad!!!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I hope those people saw that you didn't get them and later felt badly about it. A prize won by pushing other peopte out of the way just can't feel the same. I'm not a big fan of the whole YOAMD thing. It just seems unfair in many ways.

Originally Posted By cinderella143also >>I hear that they are only allowed to hand out a certain amount & there were probably people that weren't on the ride that got some too<< They were inside the exit ramp and not outside it at all. Kind of in the end of the cave leading out. And yes, you really don't need one on a Monday but I just wanted to win something...anything! It was just such a bummer because of all the days we have spent there during YOMD, this is the only time I had seen anyone win and to be that close and to have been pushed out of the way was so disheartening!

Originally Posted By cinderella143also It was kind of a downer for a few moments there... There were times I thought "where is the magic this trip?" But we did have a great time overall. The crowds were slow and we had a fun time just strolling and absorbing in the "Disney feeling."
Originally Posted By RAM1984 I am sorry to hear about this experience. People have caught on to what the dream team CM's look like and it can bring out the worst in some people. We have been numerous times and have not gotten anything. It was neat when my daughter's family got the lanyards and the passes cuz it was early on and nobody was expecting anything. They were absolutely shocked. Now everybody is looking for it.

Originally Posted By fkurucz >> I hope those people saw that you didn't get them and later felt badly about it. << Don't bet on it. The reason they stampeded and nearly trampled people in the process is because THEY were afraid of not getting one.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^true, but they didn't necessarily know that cinderella143also wouldn't get her pass because of their rudeness. I think sometimes people act on impulse and then are ashamed later. That was my point. Then again, some people are intentionally rude and don't care.

If we're spending the day at the Happiest Place on Earth, we DO NOT want a 1 in 10,000 chance of being told we're a winner. And we sure don't need a 9,999 in 10,000 chance of leaving feeling like we didn't win. Disneyland is the prize, and we won the moment we walked through the turnstile. EVERY guest at Disneyland needs to feel like their dream came true. Maybe it's a high five from Pluto. Maybe it's an encounter at a character meal. Maybe it's your high score on Astro Blasters. Maybe it's riding your favorite ride twice back to back early in the morning. Maybe it's your thirteen year old holding your hand. You get the idea.
