Oh, and we were there for just over a week (10 of us in different groups) and none of us were picked. But, we did see the dream squad out and about and we did see people with the mouse ears and fast passes.

We were at Disneyland on June 30(and July 1st). We didn't get chosen for anything, but we were lucky enough to ride in the Monkey car on Casey Junior with part of the couple that won the Dream Suite on Monday. That was cool. She said her boyfriend and his child were exiting something mat or mad--Matterhorn, Mad Tea Party, etc. when they were stopped. She said the Disney personel wouldn't tell them what was going on until their entire party was there. They thought initially they were in trouble. :) We saw them marshalling a parade and later met them(her) in line and struck up a conversation. She said the Dream Suite was bigger than her house. :shock:

We have been about 3 times during the celebration. We have not won anything, we have witnessed others winning I believe it is random because once we saw a family with kids win and another time it was just two adults. We are annual pass holders and will be returning in October so we will see if we win? :D

Yeah, my family and I have been to Disneyland once a month since October 2007 with our annual passes and we have yet to even see this elusive dream squad you all speak of. I'm starting to think it's just a rumor. :wink:

Wow, reading some of these earlier posts made me think that people are entitled to free stuff. Well I didn't get any free stuff either, but it didn't bother me. If we got something, great, and if we didn't, that's fine too. Think about how many thousands of people crossed through the turnstiles each day. I was just happy to be in the park, away from the outside reality of life. Congratulations to everyone who had the opportunity to go to the park, cause there are alot of people who didn't, or won't ever have the chance.

My family and I were lucky enough to win the dream fast passes twice in a visit. We were given them by a single cast member wearing a badge, but civilian clothes. Once on the little pathway by the train tracks near tomorrow land and once at animal kingdom just after we got off killimanjaro safari. It was really cool because we never win anything :lol:

Same for us. We won one coming off Dinosaur. It was fun, especially since, like you, we never win everything.
We just missed them at DL. They were handing them out at the end of Pinocchio but by the time we got off the ride, they were done.
