PRIZES
The
Year of a Million Dreams, a first-of-its-kind event, celebrates
your dreams and the dream-making magic Disney Cast Members create
for guests every day at the Disneyland® Resort in Southern California
and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
An
exciting part of this incredible celebration is the chance to win
an overnight stay in the all-new Cinderella
Castle Suite -- in the heart of the Magic Kingdom.
Here's
what the prize entails:
A
Day (and a Night) in the Life of the Cinderella Castle Suite
* Each morning, a magical time and place is randomly selected from
anywhere on Walt Disney World property to find a winner of a night
in the Cinderella Castle Suite.
* A Disney Dream Squad of cast members is advised of the selection,
heads to the location and identifies the winning guest from the selection
criteria.
* The Disney Dream Squad informs the guest of their prize, explains
the details of the prize and asks if they want to accept it.
* If they accept, after a short verification process, the fanfare
begins. (If the guest does not accept the prize, the computer randomly
selects another lucky guest. The computer will select up to three
guests each day.)
* The winner and up to five guests head back to their hotel to pack
an overnight bag. Then it's on to their day of royalty.
* First event is a photo session on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom.
They are proclaimed royalty for the day and led down Main Street to
their suite.
* The Royal Concierge checks them into the suite and gives them a
formal tour, regaling them with the history and spectacle of the suite's
royal heritage.
* After a bit of free time to explore their imperial quarters, the
winning family is awarded one of the highest honors bestowed on guests
of Magic Kingdom as they become Grand Marshals of the "Disney
Dreams Come True" parade.
* Following more luxurious relaxation time in the suite, the winner's
magical evening begins with dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table, a
feast fit for a monarch, with a meet-and-greet with Cinderella.
* Dinner is capped with VIP viewing of the "SpectroMagic"
nighttime parade and "Wishes" fireworks spectacular. (Available
most non-special-event nights.)
* For up to two hours after the scheduled close of the park, the family
will have access to Magic Kingdom with a VIP Guest Relations cast
member. This will allow them to enjoy the atmosphere of the park before
they retire for the evening. Suggested after-hours tours will be available
which include modified versions of "Art of the Theme Show"
and "Keys to the Kingdom," which are tours that explore
the history and creativity behind Magic Kingdom. This special "after
hours" opportunity gives these guests an amazing opportunity
to see Magic Kingdom in a way that few guests have experienced.
* Then it's back to the suite for a night of "suite dreams."
At the suite, they discover their beds turned down with royal sweets,
and their room stocked with a variety of snacks and drinks. (The Royal
Concierge is just a stone's throw away should the family require anything
during the night.)
* After a glorious night's sleep in the royal chamber, the winning
family is awakened by a personalized wake-up call from Cinderella.
* Then, as with every fairytale, the clock strikes and the family
returns to their magical vacation, checking out of the Cinderella
Castle Suite, which is then readied for the next day's royal visitors.
Cinderella
Castle Suite: A Regal Tour
Foyer
*
Cinderella's Coach mosaic tile floor contains more than 30,000 tiles,
including 3,400 24-carat gold and more than 120 white-gold pieces.
* The tile creation entailed four months of hand-cut work by four
craftswomen who share more than 100 years of experience working with
mosaics.
* Custom-made -- and priceless -- glass slipper (Steuben Glass).
Royal
Bedchamber
* From the Netherlands, a Dutch secretary desk (17th century) with
inlaid wood and velvet-lined shelves.
* From Thailand, three hand-woven rugs.
* Two authentic antique "slipper" chairs. They look like
children's furniture, but were actually used during the 17th and 18th
century by adults who sat in the chairs to put shoes on.
* Two custom designed headboards stand 8 feet, 2 inches with "C"
(for Cinderella) crest.
* Venetian glass sconces adorn either side of the fireplace and contain
a Cinderella and prince likeness etched on each.
* A painted portrait of Cinderella magically changes to a television
above the fireplace, using newly created special effects dreamed up
by Imagineers.
* Inspired by the Cinderella story, playful carved mice cavort on
support columns.
* 600-pound antique limestone fireplace -- 17th century Gothic molded
from an original wood fireplace from France. The fiber optics give
the appearance of a fire with glowing embers.
* Two cinder pots reflect Cinderella's humble roots. Made from hand-hammered
copper. French reproduction, red with gold accents.
* Rich wood furnishings. Mahogany and maple throughout.
Royal
Sitting Room
* Magic mirror -- based on French design. Special glass mirror that
transforms into a TV as part of the entertainment center.
* Custom designed sofa bed -- one-of-a-kind with French-carved details.
* Stained-glass windows telling the story of Cinderella. They face
west fittingly toward Cinderella's Golden Carrousel in Fantasyland.
Crystal jewels adorn the windows.
* Right and left mirrored spaces in the parlor open to reveal hidden
drawers and space for hanging clothes. (Castles always were full of
hidden doors.) The center space opens to reveal the DVD player and
small refrigerator.
Royal
Bath
* Grotto-inspired design.
* Ceiling features a dome of twinkling stars.
* Custom-made 4 x 4, multi-jet Jacuzzi tub with waterfall faucet and
Chromatherapy Lighting.
* Three mosaics containing a total of 30,000 tiles made of Italian
smalti glass, hand-cut and placed by Disney artisans. Features include
a crystal slipper, a crystal pumpkin, the initials "WD"
(Walt Disney) and a mouse looking up toward the castle -- plus a few
other surprises.
* Hand-hammered copper leaf basins with silver leaf.
