Dream Suite on Ellen Degeneres

[disneyguy115]

So today I think it was fait to watch Ellen today! lol
I havent seen that show in like 3 months and today i decide to watch it, and they were playing a game on the show, and this woman that answered all the questions correctly is going to be the FIRST member into the Dream suite!

I like how they are going to be the "first" guests but they didn't say when that would be!!!

What?! I thought they were picking someone in the park?

[disneyguy115]

I guess they are the lucky number uno

Contrary to popular belief on other threads Disney is going to market the Dream Suite like crazy. I bet they give away a night in the suite on several more shows. Tons of publicity and they get people all over the country thinking if they go to Disneyland they can win a night too. They just may have found the YOAMD sweet spot. (Sorry about the pun.)

I noticed during the Gumball Rally that they were filming in the Dream Suite on Saturday. There was equipment on the balcony and they had black out material over all the windows.

What questions had to be answered? I know they must have been very easy. I hate the Dream Suite and I always will, even if I win a night in it.

here is a video which talks a little more about the Dream Suite:

The name of the girl that won was named Keri Day (I think) from Corona, CA.

Ya, me too. This made me kinda mad that the very first give-a-way was on the Ellen Show and not IN PARK! It is just about the marketing and getting the word out about the 2nd year of a million dreams!!! SAD!

Ellen actually announced the prize by saying "Disney is celebrating their 2nd year of a million dreams" HAHAHHAAA Ridiculous!

That was for the media event being held that same day.

Last Friday on her 50th birthday show she gave a single mom and her 4 kids a trip to all of the parks around the world

I thought Ellen Degeneres and Disney were on the outs with each other. It looks like they have mended their differences.

Yes. But not every day.

There was similar confusion back when they started doing the Castle Dream Prize in Florida last year. In a nutshell...it is not given away every day! Here's what I wrote about Florida's Castle Suite in a post from last year:

Common mistake. The Cinderella Castle prize is not a daily prize. Only one can be awarded per day (naturally), but they don't have to award one each and every day.

The contest rules state the following terms:

- The Disney Dreams Giveaway (the "Giveaway") provides participants with the chance to win prizes starting on October 1, 2006 and ending on December 31, 2007 (the "Giveaway Period").

- three hundred and seven (307) ONE-NIGHT STAYS AT CINDERELLA CASTLE SUITE are available.

Now, considering the first give-away night in the Castle was January 25th, that leaves approx 340 days (365 minus the first 25 days in January) in the rest of the contest year...to give away the 307 contest nights in the castle.

Nowhere does it state that one will be awarded each day or that it is a daily prize.

This leaves Disney with approx 33 days at their disposal and at their choice, where nobody will be selected from the Parks...and Disney is free to use those nights however they wish, for Marketing, other Promos, Bob Iger's cousin Bernie visiting from Des Moines. Whatever.

I believe the same holds true for Disneyland's Dream Suite. The contest rules state that between January 31 and December 31, 2008...only 266 nights in the Dream Suite will be awarded as part of the YOMD contest. So it's not given away at the Park every day, and that leaves them with several nights to give away at their discretion for promotional purposes or anything else they wish to use it for.

Does that mean they are going to give out another million dreams, or is it going to be like the lottery payout where they take 20 years to payout on a million dreams dollars?
