My dream is to be able to take my two-sets of twins to Disney and stay for 3-4 days. Two of my children have Down Syndrome and I tried taking them to Disney 4 years ago and it was a trip of mishaps. The first day we arrived two were throwing up with a virus. Of course, everyone got it. We had one joyous day and then it was time to go home. Only one of my children have a vague memory of Disney and even then he asked, "Did we go there?" My husband and I haven't had a vacation since. My four children are now 10 and 13, I've been telling them some day we'll go again. Dylan is considered non-verbal with communication unless Disney is on and he can sing any song and knows every word...but he can't speak. We love Disney. You keep doing what your doing. You really do make dreams come true.

I am still waiting for Disney to make my Dreams come true. I don't know how hard it could be. The last time I wrote in, the Travel Company wrote back, and said I am not sure what I can do for you. Are you sure that Disney can make Dreams come true? I tested it out. I am an illusionist and have been since I was about 2 years old, since 1959. NASA had put an illusion body wrap on me that I can not take off. It all started really, when I met Walt in the early 60s. Hesaid that we would be making a movie when I got older. With the illusion wrap on, we made and used a set where we had illusion body wraps act as if they were taking everything away from me every time I got something, if I bought a company, the illusions would take it away, if I had a pet, the illusions would take it away. There were triggers that were set, so that every time you got something, it would trip a trigger, and they would come and take it away. I am stuck with this body wrap on, and can not get it off, and nobody will help me. My husband got too comfortable in the body wrap, and hasn't come out in years. There are copies of my kids and family, and are suppose to be something like the step mom on Cinderella. It all started with tripping triggers at Disneyland, and supposedly the illusion body wraps got lose on my set. They have taken over Disneyland, hotels, etc. All I want, is for someone to help me take this body wrap off. I am going to Disneyland for HCristmas, with hardly any money, because the body wraps took it, and I just want to go back where it started, and have someone remover this off of me. Why is that so hard for anyone to help me? There is proof in the wrap. That would make my Disneyladn Dreams come true, but as of now, Disney is not holding up what they say! PS Walt did not smoke.

My Disney Dream would be to take my daughter Destiny to Disney World. I never had the opportunity to go when I was a little girl, because my mother was not able to afford to send me. I hear so much bad news in Michigan with all the layoffs here. I lost my job of ten years things have been difficult for me and my daughter, we have been thru so much. I just recently found out that my daughter was sexually abused by her father when she was seven years old, and right before the court hearing my daughter tried to committ suicide, due to the stress of everything. I just want to put a smile on her face. Please help me make my daughter and my dream come true! Sincerely, Yolanda Lewis

I would like so many things concerning WDW and all it has to offer. I would like to take my aunt and her grand kids and husband...the grand kids lost their mother last August to a violent death. The children are ages 10 and 5. They haven't ever been anywhere like WDW, and I just know they would love it. I know nothing can ease the pain of losing a parent, but any joy that can be added to their life is a blessing to them. The other idea I would love to have... is to have a family reunion with all of our family there at WDW. Our family used to be so close and come together frequently when I was growing up. We barely get together if ever now that all of the "kids" are grown. I am now 36 and haven't seen some of my family in so long...my dad, my aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. We all have been so busy taking care of regular life business that we can't really afford a big event like a reunion. Plus, being together is such a "happy and fun place" would take the pressure off of each one of us to feel responsible for entertaining the group, financially and emotionally and mentally.

On Disney's 100 year anniversary my husband and I ordered the tape for grandparents to bring their grandchildren to Disney. We never were able to complete that dream due to my husbands death from Lukemia in 2003. In 2007 I re-married a wonderful man and we are now getting to fullfill the dream this year with 3 of my grandchildren. Over July 4th we are coming with my son who is in the military (and just re-enlisted to be a lifer in the Army) and his wife and 3 children to Disney world in Orlando. We cannot afford to stay in a Disney hotel but we are staying close by. I know it will be crowded and they are little; ages 7 yr, 5 yr, boys and 1 yr old girl. It is my dream for them to be able to eat a meal with some of the characters. This would be so thrilling not only for them but for grandma to see the Disney Magic through their little eyes. Since my son has re-enlisted he may get transfered out of our town so this trip is very special to us at this time. Thank you so much from a very excited Grandma.

I BELIEVE! I remember the magic in the air at Disney and the reality of things only once imagined become tangible. I remember everyone being a child again at Disney; all due to the work of your staff. It is my dream to spend my 40th birthday at Disney World with my husband of 17 years and our five children ranging in age from 3 to 14. To top off the Magic, I would love to celebrate our marriage in some special way, as our original wedding day was not what we had planned but what we had succumbed to due to extenuating circumstances in my parents lives. I would love to wear a princess dress, have my son (14) be my husband's best man, my oldest daughter (12) be my maid of honor and our three younger daughters (7, 5, and 3) be the flower girls. I would love to have someone fix our hair and make-up and take pictures of the event just like we had originally planned. My birthday is in October. The actual day coincides with my children having time off from school that week. The timing is perfect! Please make my dream a reality. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to present my dream to you. Oh, I do hope you choose me. I am not any more worthy than others. I simply believe in the Magic!

I wish that my grangirls Madison Grace and McKenzie Faith could spend the night in Cinderella's Castle dream suite with their family. I can remember going to Disneyland in California back when I was 10. This was a dream trip for my family as we traveled across the country. My parents worked very hard to save for this trip. My husband and I took both our girls to DW in Florida. I would like to continue this tradition for my granddaughters. They are very precious to me, and I would just love to see the gleam in their eyes if granted this wish.Thank you. Debbie Britt

My dream is my husband's and children's dream. We are originally from Honduras. My husband is from a village called La Florida. He always dreamed of going to Disney. We have worked really hard to be able to save money to go, but we have not been able to spare any money for vacations since our two older children have been sick and our insurance does not cover for everything. My oldest daughter (17) has had a rough three years and is in a lot of medications, she is graduating from High School this year and I wish she could go to Disney. My son (15) has had two rogh years but has not given up in his education as a matter of fact he is an A student who is alwyas looking for ways to help people, and is alwyas helping my husband and I take care of his older sister and his quadruplet brothers and sisters. My dear quads are 9, they dream about going to Disney, they are good students and we would like them to have the opportunity to go to Disney and enjoy a short vacation. We are simple people who do not ask for much, actually do not ask for things. My husband and I are always working and take turns to take care of our childre. We value education and motivate our children to study hard to get ahead in life. My husband and I make lots of sacrifices to provide a better life for our children, and it is our dream to take our children to Disney. I personally would love to see my daughters see Cinderella and the other princesses since they are alwyas playing that they are princesses including my 17 year old girl who still loves to play barbies with her sisters. I would love to see my boys faces as they see Mickey Mouse and his friends since they love Mickey. I would also love to see my husbands face's expression when he sees Disney because he is a kid at heart and a wonderful father, and husband who is always visiting elderly people in hospitals, and giving people hope. I am writing with the hope that we will get our dream , it is not easy to save money for a trip when you are a full time student like myself, working full time and raising six children including quadruplets. Thank you for your time and trouble. Sincerely Maria N. Rodriguez

My dream is to spend my 13 birthday, June 19, in Cinderella's castle at Disney World. Just for me and my mom. Even at that my sibilings and my dad wouldn't come. We have the money to fly there but this is the only way to spend a night there. I probably woun't be picked because there's nothing wrong whith me, whitch isn't fair.Just because a kid doesen't have a sickness doesn't mean their dream has any less value. Anyway this is worth a shot.

My bofriend and I sre both nurses that care for the elderly who are sick and ill. We work full time and we both go to school. We had purchased annual passes last year and had recently expired the middle of this year. We decided to purchase the passes because on a long days work we would drive to disneyland and enjoy the joyous environement even if we jus had dinner or watched the firework show. It almost became our getaway from a long days work. My ultimate dream is to have the Disneyland experience once more. We unfortuantely cannot afford to renew the passes, but would dream about going back and sitting in front of the magic kingdom and see the firework show and see the people enjoy what we have enjoyed before. I wish for the opportunity to have Disneyland to be once again a getaway for two nurses that work very hard for elderly patients. Thank you , Melissa

My dream is to have a family dream vacation at Disney World! My daughter Hailey is 5 years old and was born with a cleft palate. She has no roof to her mouth (hard or soft). She has had 4 surgeries to attempt to repair the palate. However, this last surgery has failed! This has been a devastating blow to our family!! My husband just recently got back from his 3rd combat tour to Iraq and our 9 year old son has had to step up and help me out around the house and with Hailey in his absence. Hailey is a smart, lovable little girl. I'm worried her spirit is breaking with each passing surgery a piece of her personality seems to go with it. She doesn't want to talk, play or eat hardly. All she wants to do is sit and color by herself. My husband and I have heard of the many wonderful dreams and wishes you make come true and we were hoping that a Disny trip for the family would help bring life back to Hailey's eyes! She has always wanted to see Cinderella's Castle and eat with Mickey and Minnie. Thank you for all you do, it really is appreciated!!!

We are coming to Disney World in a couple of weeks to bring our 2 year old grandson (he's not really our grandchild but he thinks he is and so do we). He has been having a lot of medical problems over the last few months and undergoing a lot of tests and is physically worn out. I would love for him to be able to meet the Disney characters (especially Mickey) while he is there. I know it will be really, really crowded (during Thanksgiving) and he can't be in close contact with a lot of people because of germs so he will probably not get to meet a lot of the characters up close because the lines are so long. Even the character meals are all pretty crowded besides being expensive. It would be great if we could give him all the happiness we can with this visit because we don't know what he is going to have to go through when he gets home.

my ideal dream would be to bring my family and I to Walt Disney World. Both of my parents have sacrficed a lot to raise six children and one of them is not doing things they want to do. My parents have never been to Disney and I think it would be a dream come true for not only me but for the the rest of my family. I have always wanted to go and stay in Cinderella's Castle. My parents would be so thrilled to finally have the chance to go to Disney and not on their own wallet, my parents need a vacation.(badly) Esepcially my dad who has been wokring very hard and it would be a great escape even if its just for a couple days. I would also like for them have a nice romantic dinner together and their own room. they deserve it for everything they do for us. Bringing my siblings there would also be a dream becasue we would all be experiencing the magic for the first time and we would be like little kids in a candy shop. I always hear my friends talking about here and there and all i can do is listen and imagine what it would be like. This is my ideal dream to feel the magic of Disney with my family.

Having been to Disney several times, you really, truly understand the Magic in the Kingdom. You see it and experience it in the faces of those around you. It is reflected back from the entire cast and crew. I've always hoped we could be the family that has the priviledge of opening the park with Mickey, ride the train into the station and look out and see all the eager faces smiling and anticipating a day of happiness and joy. I always wonder "how did they get to be so lucky?" It would be a memory our two boys ages 7 & 10 would never forget. Truly, that would be a dream come true.

My dream would be to arrange for my granddaughters (age 4 and 6) to stay overnight in Cinderella's Castle with their dad, my son. We are going to DWD Feb 15-22, 2009. Since a divorce and their mother relocating them to another state, My son doesn't get to see them as much as he would like. Spending time with his girls and making every moment special is his dream. Arranging this night for my loved ones would show them that even though difficult events happen in our lives we need to continue to dream. Sometimes our dreams come true!

My dream would be for myself & my husband to bring our 4 kids 14,11,8,& 6 to WDW, stay on-site & just enjoy each of the 4 parks without the pressure of having to hurry, or we would run out of time or money, allowing them to choose souvenirs of their choice without worry for how much it costs.Just the look of joy on their faces to be in a vacation, worry-free would be so cool !

My daughter, Kasey, 26, has a Godchild, Abigail, whose mother died in a car wreck on Sept. 25 2007. Her name was Ashley and she was only 25 years old. Ashley wanted everyone to go to Disney World for Abigail's 10th birthday. My daughter has tried to carry out Ashley's wishes. On Nov.29th, my daughter, her boyfriend, Abigail, my son and his family and I are going to Disney World. This is not easy for us financially but Kasey was determined. It would be so wonderful if she and Abigail could spend a night in the castle.

I would like to be able to take them to Disney World Theme Parks for just a couple of days on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Their grandparents live in Ocala, FL during the winter and we would love to spend a week in FL. As a teacher in North Carolina, my husband and I struggle to make ends meet. I know my 4 year old son would love to meet Micky Mouse and Winnie the Pooh. Plus, my daughter knows we are at least visiting grandma and already has plans to make homemade gravy.

She has always worked to provide for the large family we have but has never ask for herself. In her life she has never been lucky enough to ever experience ANY type of Disney fanfare experiences. I wish she could see a Magical World before she looses her eyes.

My Disney Dream would be to stay in the Dream Suite in Disneyland in California. My Nephew and I just visited Disneyland and spent two wonderful days. My Nephew has been a disney fan his entire 27 years of life. He has read every book on Walt Disney and can tell you the history of Disneyland. His dream is to be able to win the Disney Dream. Since my fathers Stroke he has helped to support the household. I had not had a break for over 3 years of taking care of my Aunt 82, Father 84. Disney is truly a Magical place to be. All your cares just go away. Even being able to stay 2 days in the Hotel in California Disney would be exciting. I know we will never be able to afford a vacation like that but you can always Dream that is what Disney is about making Dreams come true.

My disney dream is to enjoy an evening under the stars, treated like royalty and watching the fireworks with my family. We will be visiting Disney World October 22 - 28, 2008. This would be an awesome surprise for my husband and sister in law who have birthdays during our trip.

My family will be leaving for Disney on October 25, my husband and I have a 7,5,3, and 1 year old. For us to be going is a dream in itself. My 5 year old Sophia is turning 6 when we are there and for us to have her with us celebrating her birthday is amazing. She was born at 36 weeks and had pulminary hypertension. We were told she was not going to make it but she beat all odds and is our little miracle child. She is completely healthy now and to do anything special for her while we are in Disney would be amazing. Even if it is something small, she would love it!..Thanks

My dream would be to send 2 very special kids (brother and sister) from Vermont and even perhaps their mom. You see, their Mom is my life long(since second grade) best friend. Sadly she lost her husband and the kids lost their dad to suicide. It has been a long road for Debbie, trying her best to give her kids as much as she can along with working full time at a hospital and eagerly pursuing a nursing degree as funds would permit. Her kids call me Aunt Chris and they are so deserving, Theo her son is still in school and participates in the town as a Jr. EMT his sister Jessika is now in college for her first year. I have a niece and nephew (my twin sister's kids) but I have to say those kids have been there done that. They got to go on the cruise too. On the other hand Debbies kids have never had an opprotunity like this. This would be my dream for them and it would be extra special if it could be around my 40th birthday in August 2009 which would be the best celebration for me. I am not asking to go with just want this to happen for them to make me so very happy. I love to make others happy and this will do it for sure. You see, this birthday is very special to me because it will be the first Birthday I get to celebate after my navy retirement. That will be the first birthday after 20 years of service to my Country. So I feel that not only the kids are very deserving but I hope to be deserving to make this dream come true for them. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Christine

My husband and I are taking our daughter there from October 1st to 6th, thanks to my brother. I would like to see the expression on my daughter face when she actually sees Mickey and Minnie. She talks about them all the time and I think that it would be awesome for her to talk and dance with them. It is also my husbands birthday and I would like a surprise for him. I am 4 months pregnant and the past few months have been very hectic but he is always there supporting me. I would like to do something in return for him. Any ideas????? Thanks for your help. Maureen

I'm 39 and this is my 2cd time in Disney the first was when i was 6..lol So to me this is my first time...I think my Disney dream would be either the Fastpass because my mom is older and i don't want to make her wait in those lines..Or the stay in Cinderella's castle so she could be treated the way she deserves to be treated..She is paying for this trip for me and her as my birthday present.I have no money she has little money ..and i just had major surgery so this is a dream trip for me even if i don't see the dream team when i am there.I am a huge fan of Donald duck an am having Breakfast with him Oct 3rd i can't wait. i will be there Oct 2cd - the 7th that will be the best week of my life

My dream is for my daughter Emily. Emily, or Em as we call her is a Tinkerbell(tink-tink) as she refers to her) fanatic. Ever since she was able to talk she has been facinated with everything Tink. Her bedroom is Tink from the light switch cover to her bedsheets, and she has all the fairies on her walls. Iv'e been to Disneyland and Disney world but have never seen a "Tink" charactor and would love it if Em could meet her! We are coming to Disney world the last week in September and meeting a real Tinkerbell would make her and my drm come true!

My Disney dream would be for my grandson Ian. Ian, age 5 has been diagnosed with Autism. We will be visiting the Magic Kingdom September 29th and while Ian loves the Disney charactors, on a previous visit in 2006 he had difficulty relating to them due to the large crowds and his difficulty in handling large groups of people in the charactor areas. At the time we were not aware of his condition and did not know that his autistic nature was part of the trouble he had in handling the enormous sensory overload that is part of the Disney experience. He especially likes Capt Jack Sparrow and would like to show Cptn Jack his "pirate scar" acquired in mimicing some of Capt. Jacks exploits. Ian is also facinated by the Disney Castle and would like to see "inside". Thus my dream would be that Ian could meet some of his favorite charactors in a low key quiet seeting apart from the crowds and could get a chance to relate one to one with them away from the normal bustle of the heavy Disney crowds. We are excited to be returning to Disney this year with him and knowing Ians' condition and having gotten him some special therapy we expect him to enjoy the visit. We have also spent time reviewing the pictures and video of our last trip to help prepare him and hope that will help him prepare for the excitement.

My dream is for my daughter and her family. My son-in-law, Tom, has been out of work since August 2005 fighting Leukemia. They managed since my daughter, Michele, was still working. But now she has been out of work since February 2008 because of a cancerous toumor removed from her sinuses. She has had radiation and many surgeries which have removed most of the jaw on her left side, she is finished with the radiation but is still suffering. With both Michele & Tom not working, we are of course worried about house payments and tuition and food to just mention a few. We don't know at this point if Michele will ever be well enough to return to work. They have 3 children and the youngest is almost 4 and it does not look like they will have the funds to take him to Florida anytime soon. My wife and I have an RV and we would like to take them but we cannot aford that either. I could go on with all the problems that Michele & Tom are struggling with but it would be my wish that Disney might help them come to DisneyWorld sometime next year. Michele will not be well enough to even consider travel until next spring. She has 14 hours of surgery scheduled for September 22 and the recovery must begin again. If I can bring them in my RV and stay in Fort Wilderness the cost to Disney would be a lot less then if you invited them to stay in one of the resourts. If you could help with the fees at the Fort and the park hopper passes, Jean and I ought to be able to handle the other costs like fuel to get ther and most of our food. It was not supposed to happen like this! My children were supposed to live happily ever after and with Jean and I retiring, Daddy cannot fix all her problems like I once was able to! I don't know if you would believe how awful this whole experience had been for Jean and I let alone for Michele and Tom and their 3 children. Anyway, I wirte to much, but thanks for listening!

may wish is that all the people, who go to Disney World or Disneyland or any of the parks, get the same feeling I have everytime I have been there(so far 4). the fun to watch other people become childern again and act as one. to take life in it's simpliest form. to see the wonder and joy in their eyes. to crave for the fantasy. to see the world THRU a child's eyes. But I have also been BLESTED to have seen all of this and more thru my wife's and children's eyes. No I have no true wish, except the continued ability to continue to see this things again and again, cause this fills my heart with more faith, hope and love than is sometimes possible to imagine. my only wish, if one is one, is to see these things thru my grandchildrens eyes, some day and YES I will make that happen. Walt knew a long time ago the answers to the problems of the world and that is OUR children, each and everyone one of them. To raise them with hope, love and endless imagination. For these things will answer all of our problems someday, if we help it properly. This I promise to continue to do my part thru all the children I come in contact with.

It is Sunday, August 17th and we will be travelling to Disney on Tuesday! We have waited years to take this trip! My husband and I are both very busy with our jobs and our 12 year-old daughter has begged us to bring her to Disney for years. we finally saved up enough money to make her dream come true. Unfortunately the news of Tropical Storm Fay and the rainy weather predicted during our stay at Disney will probably put damper on this very special trip. It is making me so sad. I pray every minute and have been glued to the weather channel all weekend, hoping it will lose steam and go away. But, it doesn't appear that is the case.

Jim and I have made over 30 trips to disney over the last ten or fifteen years. We have decided to celebrate our 40th anniversary at Disney. We are staying at the Music Resort if our request for The Vacation Club Villas doesn't come through. Our dream would be to spend Thanksgiving night in either the castle or the dream suite. We have stayed at many of disney's resorts in the past and have always been pleased with our stays. This would also workout great because our daughters will be joining us and their birthdays are Nov.30th and Dec. 16th. We have celebrated many birthdays at disney in the past and this would be a wonderful surprise for them. We are truely a disney family.

My Disney Dream is to have the Baltimore Westsiders Marching Band perform at a Disney parare. The Marching Band consists of underpriveleged inner city children involved in a community marching band--with which I volunteer along with several other adults. The band strives to enlighten children and build self esteem by being able to participate and to have the feeling of belonging. Most of the band members are not able to afford vacations, so being invited to perform during a parade would not only a great opprotunity but would fulfill dreams of so many children. Thank you for your consideration.

My dream would be to take my Mom and Dad on a Disney Vacation. Wish I could get them to go. They have had a lifetime of heartache. Loss of a child, terminally ill adult child, multiple surgeries for another child and the list goes on. My Mom has always been fairly healthy and has now recently got a pacemaker. My son, their grandson is in CA and we have never been..would love to see Disneyland and visit him at the same time. It has been a long time since I have seen a genuine smile on their faces. If Disney and their grandson can't do it, no one can.

I just want to be a princess for a day. I was married at 18 had my first child at 18 so I had to do alot of growing up fast and never had to work hard. I loved disney but never could afford to go with my parents. My dream was to work for disney see I like to draw but I really wanted to be a princess, I was always told by my family I was fat. My husband took my for the first time to Disney for my 25th wedding anniversary and now this year we are celebrating our 40th. hopefully at Disneys Wilderness Lodge. He says I am his princess but it is not the same. I want to dress up, feel pretty and have what every little girl growing up should have. Feeling pretty and special and where else can that happen but Disney World. Thank you for letting me dream again.

My dream would be for our family to have a great vacation. I don't ask for much. I want to be able to spend stress free time together. The last real family vacation (brothers sisters etc) was at our wedding. It would be nice to have even a small added bit of Disney magic to our trip. This will be my 6th trip to Disney. But my first one with my husbands family. Our daughter will surely be the center of attention...

My Disney dream is to have a family trip that everyone will enjoy. Families don't do things together anymore and I am trying to instill family values in my children and do things that "families" should still be doing. Disney is a place that my whole family would enjoy from my 5 yr old daughter to my 13 yr old "step"son. My kids need to learn what family is and how to treat each other and how important family time is.

My Disney Dream would be able to take my entire family to Disney World and be able to stay in Cinderella's castle. My 4 year old granddaughter talks about the princess's and going to disney all the time. My Daughter is a single mother as I was when I raised my 2 daughters. She is struggling to go to school and raise her daughter, and my oldest daughter joined the military and is stationed in Germany. I would also like to have season passes so that we can enjoy the park all year round and have our family reunion there over Christmas I think would be a wonderful thing since My Mother is dying of kidney failure, my stepfather has cancer, my father has only a third of his heart working. My sister has cerebral palsy and I am diagnosed with Diabetes. none of us has been to disney yet. This would be MY DISNEY WISH COME TRUE!

My very best friend in the whole world is Janice. I'am 47 she is 44. We will be going to Disney World August 30 till September 6,2008. She has never flown before and has never been to Disney World. I have a 14 year old and a 19 year old. She has a 19 year old. We are taking this trip alone together. I have been there many times. I want to show her a wonderful time. She lost a baby years ago. I lost 2 babies. Our husbands are staying home to work and the kids will be working and in school. June 14 of this year we were in a car accident. Thank God for seat belts. We almost lost our chance of going on our vacation to relax and be kids again. I want to make her smile. Her father was just diagnosed with lung cancer. She loves him dearly. I just want to make her happy again. I love to make other people smile. My wish is for us to be away this few days to enjoy our selves and laugh. I love her she is the sister I never had.

The dream is for granddaughter, She is only 3 years old but all she talks about is going to see cinderella at the castle. i showed her a picture of cinderella she said that what she wanted to do is to stand there with cinderella with a dress like hers. So we have told her when we got the change jug full we will take her every penny she fines goes in there thats all she wants to do is go to the castle. For little kids i think that is something they will never forget. Leaving in mississippi with the state being below poverty it is hard just to plan a vacation when you would like. So that is my dream for her as well as hers maybe one day it will come true. I would love to see the look on her face when she gets there Thanks very much

I am a 40 year old single parent whom has longed to visit Disney World since I was a child but my mom was a single parent, too and there were 9 of us and family vacation were out of the question. As an adult, I was hoping that I could take my two children to Disney World before they become young adults but now my son is a high school senior and my daughter is a junior. My Disney dream is for my mother and her children and grandchildren (myself, my siblings, and our children) to be blessed with the Disney vacation that we've dreamed of but was never able to afford.

Two years ago we took my daughter to Disney World. We had gone with other people. To make a long story short, we spent a total of 2 hours at Magic Kingdom (not what was planned)and my daughter left crying. Crying because she didn't meet Cinderella. That's all she wanted to do when we were there. We have a surprise visit for her in August to Disney. I would really love for my daughter to actually meet Cinderella. That is her dream and my dream for hers to come true.

I have just recently got engaged and we are going to Disneyland for my birthday, as we do every year and staying in the castle would make it extra special and a time to never forget.

I have dreamed of going to Walt Disney World since it was first built when I was a young girl then living in Florida. Each year that I have waited the park has grown and has now become so much more. I am so looking forward for when I finally do get there. Now my dream includes my two darling daughters who have never experienced the Disney magic at any Disney Park. They truely deserve to get the full princess treatment that only Disney World could create. My youngest daughter who is now 6 years old has been very brave through disabilities, therapies and surgeries. She is the sunshine of our family. We are so happy that she is starting to walk well and is now even talking. My oldest daughter who is now 13 years old used to ask every year to go to Disney World. But since her sister was born she has stopped asking because she knows that such a trip would be imposible for us to afford with all of the medical bills. She has been very brave too. She loves her sister very much and helps her in so many ways. It would be so wonderful if she could go soon, before she is all grown up. So I am hoping that my wish is Magical and that my daughters dreams come true.

Between surgeries, hospitalizations, the lost of a property, legal matters to resolve, three seniors graduating this June and wanting to attend college, my "baby" turning 15 last February, it's a dream come true and a miracle that we will be visiting Disney this June. I have one concern and its related to our trip and my 16 year old son, who has had a incredibly difficult year. He suffers from bipolar disorder and that disability coupled together with the hormonal changes typical of his age is simply not a good mix. My dream is for my family to overcome all the struggles and become united and happy. For my son to enjoy this trip and for my step daughers and my daughters to have a fun time together. My dream is to create memories good enough for them to cherish and remember always and that somehow all the good times are able to "erase" the negative past experiences...

My Disney wish is to have my family attend Disney together as a family vacation, in memory of my dad. My dad had planned to take us all to Disney this year, he said he would pay for our tickets and hotel for all of us and all we had to do was pay for food. My mom and dad are amazing parents, they are always thinking of ways for us all to be together, and we love being together. There are 14 of us, so it is quite an expense for my parents, but they will do anything for us to be together. Our fondest memories are of our family vacations. We all saved up to go this summer with my mom and dad. But, as fate would have it, my dad became very ill and passed away 6 months ago. We have talked about getting together and going but, it is hard when you have a family to take care of and bills to pay. My first Disney wish would be to have my dad back, but since that is not possible it would be a dream come true to celebrate life with my family in honor of my dad. Thanks for you time. Selena

My family is coming to Disney World in the fall. It will just be the four of us. My daughter is 7 and my son will be 4. We are all so excited about the trip and it's still over 4 months away! I know I am dreaming about it every night! We don't get to go on many family vacations so we are really looking forward to spending this time together. I guess my only dream is that everything works out as planned, things go smoothly and my kids both have a magical vacation that they will remember for the rest of their lives!

We will be taking our first trip to Disney this fall. I would love to have my daughter be part of the High School Musical show or in one of the parades. We have had a very difficult year and are looking forward to our trip. Spending the days with my husband, daughter, inlaws and aunt will be a time to remember. I hope the lines aren't long and that the weather is great.

My Disney dream would be for my husband and myself to be able to take our grown daugthers, their spouses and our grandson to Disney World for an unforgetable vacation together. My husband nor I had ever been to Disney World and we were able to go there and celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2006. We had the time of our lives and both cried when we watched Wishes for the first time! I stood there wishing that we had been able to afford to take our girls when they were growing up. Now they are grown and money is still too tight to take them. I would love to see their expressions as they meet Minnie and Mickey and Tigger and Pooh and all the other characters! Video and pictures are great but to share it with them, in person, would be a real gift!

I have two developmental children that want to go to Walt Disney World. I am a single parent and have sacrified daily as any mother would do but I wish I could give this opportunity to my daughter. Most wish foundations do not honor developmental challenged children. I have went through many struggles daily and want to fulfill the dream for my child but am unable to. Thank you for considering a dream come true!

My dream is to come to disney world with my family and two sisters and stay at cinderellas castle. My mother died when I was 22 years old and my children never had the chance to meet her. My mom always told me she would take me to disney world some day. I know if I ever get to come she will be with me watching over me. My family has been through alot. My sisters son was killed in a car wreck two years ago and this past year our brother died. My two sisters and myself lived at the hospital for a full month while he was on life support. It took alot of time away from our families but we fealt the need to be with our brother hoping and praying he would make it----but he didn't. We need this time together to relax and enjoy life. One of my sisters and myself both have Fibromyalgia and it has taken control of our life. I feel like I'm dying because I hurt so bad and my brother told me before he died that he thought it was meant that we all die young. He was 44 years old when he died and my mom was 44 years old when she died. This year I will be 43. Scarey---I know! I told my husband that before I die I want to stay at Cinderellas Castle. He said Why? It's simple; Its My Life Long Dream! PLEASE MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family (Tim 48, Kim 38, Matthew 15, Josh 13, and Devon 2) are planning to visit the Disney parks in Florida between July 20-29, 2008. My dream is for my family to be surprised by a Disney cast member with any kind of gift they have to offer. This is the first visit for Devon who loves to watch Mickey's Clubhouse on TV, he is extremely fond of Winnie the Pooh, too. Our older boys have been to the parks before, but it has been several years ago. Most teenagers love anything that is free. I(Kim) was taken to DisneyWorld first when I was twelve years old; that was one of my most treasured memories I have with my family.

To take my daughter and extended family somewhere extraordinary to thank them for what they have helped me through in the past 3 years (sickness and divorce-husband of 21 years walked away from it all for another woman). My daughter has been extremely hurt and disappointed in her father, but she is excelling with the help and support of family and friends. Also to celebrate the arrival of a precious child into our lives that would have otherwise been raised by a drug-addicted mother. One special young lady who is just like a daughter to me has also had her mother walk out on her father for the same reasons, or I should say for no reason. She is so special, strong and full of faith. And yet another precious nephew is excelling despite difficulties in his life and I just couldn't say enough about my parents who take care of us all. They...do it all, with love and care and compassion wanting nothing in return but our happiness. Thank you for this opportunity if for no other reason than just the opportunity to write about my amazing family. I know that everybody has difficulties, but I am thankful for the opportunity to try and do something extraordinary for them. God Bless

My million dollar dream would be to take our first trip all together that they all would remember for life. I have a daughter, son- in-law and their two sons. My son and his son and my youngest daughter, wife and myself.I am not getting any younger and saving for something like this is almost impossible. We have talked about going on one of your cruises someday but it has only been a dream. Dennis W. Potter

My dream (when I will be 75) is to be in the Magic Kingdom with my 5 year old grandson when we watch his parents and his aunt do the Goofy Marathon and then we will go on my favorite ride...Dumbo! There will be magic then in a way I've not yet experienced. Maybe Goofy will even hug me even though I'm old

My Disney Dream is to be able to go on the Disney cruise with my Husband, Daughters and their families. The only cruise my Husband has said he would go on.It would be a trip of a life time. Especially for my two Granddaughters, one in which I would love to share with them!

It is my dream to be able to take my family to Disneyland or World. I have a Teenage sister who, like me, would love to go just once in our life time, so as to experience the magic. Both my parents are disabled and recently found out our mother is sick and may need heart surgery. With all their medical needs; my parents are unable to afford either Disney atttactions. I would also like to take my boyfriend and three children, all under the age of ten. We both work hard to provide for our family and our parents; that we usually find little money for the bigger trips. I wish this is something I can take all of my family to, so we can say, "Hey we got to go finally".

My dream is to share the Magic of Disney with my beautiful 4-year-old grandson. I actually purchased DVC timeshare with some of his dad's life insurance. His dad was tradgically killed in a motorcycle accident when Gavin was 11 weeks old. I have decorated his room at my home (for when he visits) with the "Lion King" theme for he is the "Lion King". I think of family values when I think of Disney. My son did everything right. He graduated from college, worked hard, got married, and had a family. His son will have to pay the price of losing his dad before he even knew him. Our time at Disney Parks is always going to be special because his dad will be in our hearts!

We are coming to Disney world in Orlando on Sept 13-20th 2008! My Dream is to repay my in-laws for all the love and support they have given to us. They have helped us get on our feet and at times I know we have been a burden to them. All five of us have lived with them, they have helped us fix up our house, they are always helpful with watching the children. At times I feel as though we have been a big drain to them. I would just like to appreciate them in some way while we are there. We are taking the family (11) in total. A special picture,matching T-shirts,A nice dinner,a stay at the Cinderella's palace for a night with the grandkids or all of us.They started a church plant called City Center Minisrty helping kids in poverty by providing a food pantry, meals at church, after school program, adopt a family program etc. A donation to their cause would be wonderful too as this is there passion. Something that would make this trip such a special memory for them. As they are so very special to us. They love so unconditionally they inspire us to be better people. WE love them so much! That is my wish!

When I was growing up as a boy, I remember asking my dad if he'd take me to Disneyland. ( There was no Disneyworld then ) Although my dad worked hard and regularly, he just could not afford a trip from Milwaukee where we lived. I got to finally go to Disneyland while stationed at Camp Pendelton on military night. Although I had fulfilled my dream of going to the magical land, not going with my dad as I always dreamed, left something missing. After being wed and having four children my dad and mom visited us in Florida. Upon arriving, my dad surprised us by saying he was taking us to Disney World. We already had taken three of the children there about two years prior. We had a great time. One of the happiest memories I have and also for my children. We still talk about the trip often to this day. Upon arriving home from the trip I thanked my dad for fullfilling the dream I had. He then told me that he was fulfilling a dream he shared with me and that he was dying of cancer and couldn't leave this world without doing this for his son and grandchildren. He told me to never putoff precious moments in life like he did. He was lucky enough to fullfill this one, but many more won't be fullfilled. I did learn that, and take every opportunity to spend special moments with my family. My dad kept his word to me, and spread some magic of his own.

We went to Disneyland in Febuary, We where able to aford it, because Disney has a day where families with children with special needs can go at a reduced rate. Well this week my child with special needs received a package from Disneyland, it was a post card and a blue Mickey ears hat. She has not taken it off for the past two days, I wish I could afford to go back and spend another day with the whole family. She thinks she won something but that is all that came in the package, so i really want to make her feel that she is a winner.

My husband and myself grew up in Southern calif and we went to Disneyland every year and when we had children we took our two girl to enjoy Disneyland as well. My husband is in the military and is gone more than he is home now with deployments and 6 years ago we adopted a little girl. Our Jasymnne is going on 12 years old, now. When she came to us,, we made a deal with her to improve her behaviors in school and off to Disneyland we will go. Well, living on a military income is very hard to save for the Disneyland trip but our little girl greatly deserves a Disneyland experience of her life, considering not only did she improve her behavior in school but for the last 2 years she has brought us home Straight A's, a perfect report card. Our little girl, Jasymnne is looking forward to our promise of going to Disneyland. Can you please help us, make her dream come true?

We went as a family last year and had the time of our life and now again in 17 days...9-18 May we will return for another amazing vacation. If I had dream it would of course be spending a night in the castle but I would love for our entire family (4 of us me, husband, son 7 and daughter 4) to have a one on one guided tour. To have one day for Magic Kingdom, one day for Epcot, one day for Hollywood Studios, and one day for Animal Kingdom. That would be so amazing. To learn about all the great things about Disney as well as enjoy the rides.

Hello, my name is Ashley Oke. My fiancee, Stephen Carlton, and I share the same Disney Dream. We would love to stay in Cinderella's Castle for a night while in Disney World on our honeymoon. We are going to be married September 6, 2008 in Castaway Cay while on Disney's 3-Night Bahamian Cruise. Then we are going to Orlando from Sept 7-13th so that we can continue our special Disney experience by enjoying our honeymoon in Disney World. We're choosing to continue a family tradition, my parents had their honeymoon in Disneyland. I myself have been to Disney World and Disneyland before, but Stephen has never had the opportunity. I am so excited to show him all over the park. As well, because of all the continual creative property developments at Disney World, there will be a lot of things that are new to both of us. However, my favorite part of Disney World will always be Cinderella's castle, it is so magical and iconic. I can remember visiting Disney World as a little girl, and wishing that I could go inside Cinderella's Castle. It is so beautiful and intriguing outside, as a child, I assumed it must be the same inside. I was so delighted to find out that you could be chosen to stay there. (However, I suspect I might be slightly too mature for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique) Now that I have my prince, I really think that staying there for a night would make me feel even more like a modern-day princess. So please, please, make our Magical Honeymoon Disney Dream come true.

My 8 year old's idol is Belle. She really relates to her because they're both so sweet and love to read. Our family went through a difficult year due to cancer in 07, and our girl stared having trouble concentrating in school because of the stress. She's really trying to turn things around this year, and we're SO proud of her. My dream would be for her to get a letter from Belle to tell her how proud that she is of her, too. It is tough for an 8 year old to deal with stress, and it would mean so much to her to know that her hero, Belle, was thinking of her and cheering her on.

My dream is for a little boy that is 9 and is just getting ready to go through his second treatment cycle for Burkett's lymphoma. He told Make A Wish foundation that his dream was to go to Disney World. With all his family has gone through this past year, including 3 surgeries, treatments, time spent away from home, family, friends, work and school, I think it would be amazing if his wish could be granted. His other wish was for Lego's. When you are 9, sick and going through so much, going to Disney World is your wildest dream.

I have been married for nearly 15 years. We have 6 children ranging from 2 to 13. We have been through a lot in the last few years. We have fought our way back from being homeless for a year when we walked away from a religious cult (thus all the children). We were taught and trained that anything fun or worldly was a sin. We are just now learning to enjoy life. We are in our own rental place now. We struggle week to week but we are making ends meet and climbing out of a dark place. We haven't EVER had a week long vacation. We haven't had a weekend vacation in 8 years. My children have never been to Disney World and neither have I. My husband went when he was 5 and 6 years old. He remembers the castle and fireworks. We would LOVE to be chosen and make life long memories with our children who may never get to experience this otherwise. With the size of our family we couldn't afford the tickets, food, and the rooms it would require for our family. Thank you for this opportunity! We love Florida and dream of a vacation often. As a stay at home mother of 6 children, 4 of which I homeschool this would TRULY be a blessing!

I have been fortunate enough to visit disney and i am returning this year with my lovely family.

They are good, well balanced, loving girls who have been through alot in their lives but still come out smiling, i love them dearly.

Hello. My dream for my family would be to go to Walt Disney World. I am so lucky to have such a great family and life. Unfortunately, three years ago, our life changed forever. My youngest boy, who is now 9 was diagnosed with a progressive connective tissue disorder called Marfan Syndrome. It has been extremely difficult for his brother and our family. He is such a wonderful child. It hurts so much to see children his age play sports with their teams on the weekends and my sweet boy can only ask, "Will I ever be able to play soccer or basketball?" It is hard to tell him, "Never." We have been homeschooling him the past two years to keep him safe. The doctors have told us to enjoy every moment. This condition is "varied expression" which means we do not know the outcome of his condition. He loves to travel and we would like him to experience everything he can while he is healthy. If you would grant us this wish, we would enjoy every moment. Thank you.

Thank You for letting me share our family dream. We have been trying for a long time to save for a family trip to Disney world, but it's not easy when there are more important things that have to be taken care of first. We were a family of 3 and this past year we got custody of our son, he was in a abusive situation and he needed out of there, so we took what we were saving toward a vacation and fought for custody and got it. He is very happy here and were glad to have him. We also have a 7 year old daughter that we have promised to take to see the princesses at the magic kingdom, but we had to break it to her it would have to wait a while because we needed to help her brother. She was dishearted but said it's okay mommy, the princesses will still be there and we can go next time. My dream would be for my little girl to meet the princesses and see cinderella's castle, and be treated like a princess for a day, I think she deserves it because she put her brother's needs before her own, and we have never had a family vacation before. Thank You, Adena Penford, Ellis Grove, IL

We have two girls, one is 13 and the other is 6. We haven't had the finances to take a big family vacation...until now. We always told our girls we'd take them to Disney someday. We have worked hard and saved our money and are finally going to make good on our promise. We will be at Disney World Sept 21-27, 2008. Since this will be our first real family vacation, my Disney Dream is for my girls. For my youngest, I would love for her to be treated like a princess for a day, with a princess make-over, to join a princess on a parade float and tour Cinderella's Suite. Then for my oldest, she would love to be able to see the Cirque du Soleil show. Thank you for considering my wish.

In a magical world of dreams that come true, and where every little girl becomes a Princess, we dream of 1 more visit while my husband is still alive. We have taken our grandaughter twice(she is 5 years old)..and have magical memories to treasure. My husband has health issues which only give him 2-5 years at best without a heart transplant.(which he is not having). He is still active enough to enjoy the parks at this point and it is our greatest desire to return with her one more time, also taking her Daddy to share in the Magic. The last trip made such an impact on her that it is not uncommon to hear her say,"I wish we were at the hotel in Disney swimming right now!" Finances will NOT allow us to return at this point....We would consider it indeed a blessing if awarded a trip to once again experience the Magic.....The love shared and pictures we would take would be an everlasting gift of love to our grandaughter, Lily from her PaPa. Thanks for considering....Christine

Thank you for the opportunity to present my "Disney Dream." My wife Linda, Son Joseph Tyler and I are going to Disney on June 1st 2008 we are staying at the Polynesian Resort till the 11th. We did this last year also for The Year of a Million Dreams. We try to give my son the best vacation possible and Walt Disney World always does that for us and him. Joseph Tyler is 9 years old and was born with Cerebral Palsy and Autism. He has a hard time with people and really has no friends because of his disabilities. So, we try to give him a beautiful vacation. We didn't win any Dream Giveaway last year, but to win a night inside Cinderella's Castle would put this vacation on top as little Joe's best and most memorable. That would be my Dream. And if it never happens, the love and smiles my son gives while we are in Disney, is more then enough for this Dad's Dream.

Thank you for allowing me to share my dream. My dream would be to allow my son in law who is returning from Iraq for a two week visit, then back off again to Iraq, to vacation with family in the happiest place on earth. A far cry from where he is right now. A place to lay his head at night without the sound gunfire in the distance. He and my daughter were married and he deployed to Afghanistan a week later, after 6 months he returned only to be deployed once again, this time to Iraq. My daughter is a nursing student and works extremely hard at her studies. I don't know she can concentrate, she simply amazes me. Having been born with Mysthenia Gravis, MD, she has overcome many obstacles in her life to be where she stands today. A young woman of honor, of courage, of strength and moral character supporting her husband, a man of pride, honor and dignty serving his country with all that he is. I wish every solider would have a day at Disney. They certainly deserve it. Thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts and wishes to you. Even if we are not selected as winners, I thank you for giving every one the opportunity to try.

Thank you for this chance to ask for a dream come true and a much needed time to put our thoughts and worries aside. My 12 yr.old son christopher has had many challenges, hospital stays, 3 major operations and many doctor appointments since the age of 6 yrs. old.For he has a Pituitary Brain Tumor. Christopher has had a crniotomy Oct. 2002, Trans-Sphenoidal Hypophyscotomy May 2006 and Gamma Knife May 2007. And in Nov. 2007 diagnosed with epilepsy. During all this my parents have been with my son and I through everything and are very supportive and even moved from Michigan to Orlando with us to help in May 2004. So you see my family and I are in need of fun,family times together. Nothing would please me more than to see my whole family smiling in a picture with Mickey Mouse and friends. I have 6 children and a wonderful boyfriend in my life now that I thought would never happen because of my sons illness and a 22 yr. old daughter with Down's Syndrome. And I thank God every day for that man who loves us for who we are, and for such wonderful parents who gave up their lives and friends in Michigan for my family,and for my 2 older children and son-in-law who come when needed for Christopher. Please help me give something back to my family that will my in our hearts and memories for a life-time. Thank you. Sincerley, Sandra

Thanks for allowing me to say: My dream (at least thought of everyday) is to work in the Magic Kingdom, to everyday be able to drive to the park and walk down Main Street to my post (haven't figured out what post yet.) Just to be in the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH everyday! Imagine that. Currently, not likely to happen, but I go to Disney as often as I possibly can manage and I'm so excited to celebrate "My Big 40 Birthday" with my daughter Lauren in Disney this April 2008- I wish something extra special could happen to us this visit for my birthday. Can't wait, see you all there. Love Just thinking about Main Street + the castle- posting this at 4am "I'm to excited to sleep".

My dream is to give my daughter a graduation present she will never forget. We use to take her to Disney World every year for her birthday then in 1997 I was injured at work and had to take a 60% cut in pay for disability. And we have not been able to go again except for one time with a huge military discount. Last year my daughter went through a rough time we thought she had cancer and then she was diagnosed with migraine headaches. And on 2 March 2008 her only grandparent died. She has had a rough time and does not ask for much. I would love to give her a Disney World Dream she would never forget. When she was 4 yrs old she noticed that there was no power lines in the parks and could not understand it. She has always wanted to see the workings of the facilities each time because she could not understand how things work without power lines. I hope her dream comes true.

My dream is coming true. We have 7 children, five are young adults. Our twins will turn 8 years old on May 2, 2008. We have booked our vacation for that time. I can't wait. We are staying at the Pop Century and have really struggled with should we spend the money (we also have 2 in college). We feel bad that we can't also bring the ones in college but we just can't. We are so very eager to bring our twins to Disney. We are not telling them where we are going (we have grand children close their ages and cannot take them all so we don't want to have the twins talk about it around them). I am making blankets to give Jackie and Carston on the airplane (princess and mickey ones) and then I will tell them where we are going. My wish is coming true. I just want to see the magic in their eyes. We are so blessed and cannot wait to get there. When I tell people that we are coming, I cry. April 29th to May 5th we will be there! I have not made any dinner reservations yet, still can't believe we are going to Disney!

My Disney dream would be to spend a night in the Cinderella Castle. But, since that seems to be most people's dream, I'll do one better. My Disney dream would be to get married in front of Cinderella's castle just before the nighttime fireworks show. And the guest list would consist of my friends and family and of course Mickey, Minnie and all their friends! That would be my dream.

In October of 1983, two very in-love newlyweds went on their honeymoon to Disneyworld in Florida. They dreamed of starting a family, and one day, bringing them to Orlando to experience the magical kingdom. Twenty five years later they have ten children, six boys and four girls, ranging in age from 3 to 23. The money is not available but the dream to return to Disney on their twenty-fifth anniversary is still alive. Do dreams really come true?

My dream if for someone else to get to go to one of Disney's awesome theme parks. I think the the recipent should be someone with a huge heart, and I know just where to find them. SILENT AUCTION DONATIONS We are proud to present a benefit in support of our family and friend. A silent auction will take place at the Broadway Athletic Club on Saturday, May 31st. Story behind the benefit Joseph Mispagel�s life was taken two years ago at the age of 27 by a man with rage in his heart. His family has been through very hard times over the last two years, as the court system is very slow in putting this man to trial. A trial date has been set for June 2008 in Denver, Colorado, now we need to do everything we can to help out this family in need. The trial is anticipated to last three weeks. The family lives in the St. Louis area so the cost of hotel stays, rental cars, food etc. is going to be a great expense. In order to raise money we are having a silent auction and benefit party on Saturday, May 31st and need all the help we can get. We are asking for any items that we can put in a silent auction, no matter how great or small. We need your help to make this silent auction a success! Thank you in advance for your time and contribution. For more Information: For more information regarding this benefit please contact Amy Courtwright at (618) 401-5165, (314)-480-1515 ext. 2149 or by email at mispagelbenefit@yahoo.com Silent Auction Donation Form To donate an item for the Silent Auction, please contact Amy Courtwright at 618-401-5165 (night time) or 314-480-1515 ext. 2149 (Monday � Friday daytime) or by e-mail at mispagelbenefit@yahoo.com A trip to one of Disney's theme parks, or any disney merchadise, would be such a great way to tell these deserving people that we apprieciate their generosity and big hearts.

I am a HUGE fan of Mickey Mouse and Disney World, especially Magic Kingdom, represents so many different parts of my life that have been amazing! I went when I was 6 with my family and I returned with my best friend when we graduated from High School. The following trips were with my boyfriend who turned into my husband which the next trip was on Easter when I was pregnant with our first child (whom was born premature 2 weeks later, 6 weeks early). So it was only fitting to do his nursery in whatelse?? MICKEY! We brought our son back when he was four in 2000. Our last trip was in 2004 and it celebrated our daughter's first visit and my 30th birthday! We are coming back this June with my parents and it seems we have come full circle. My husband and I own a haunted house called the Fear Factory and when we get ready for it every year we play the theme from the Haunted Mansion to get us in the mood. My dream is to see my family happy! I wish that my daughter, Brinna. could see the inside of the castle, that my son, Cody, could be in the parade with his grandparents, and finally for my husband, Jason, I wish that he could have a behind the scenes tour of the Haunted Mansion! Granting those wishes would be MY dream come true!!!!!

To say i am a huge Disney fan would be an understatement. I have been going to Disneland every since i was a little kid. Which is pretty wonderful for a kansas girl. Everytime i go there i am transported to the innocence and aww of childhood. I have told everyone that when i die i hope that heaven is Disneyland, minus the lines. Disneyland has always held a special place in my heart. Most summers my family would drive from KS to CA to see family and then we would all go to Disneyland. I continued this tradition clear through high school. And Disneyland never lost that magic feeling. Now i am a mother and i look forward to taking my daughter there so she can have the same wonderful expierence that i did. It truly is the happiest place on earth. I often joke with my family that you guys must put something in the water cause you can't help but be happy while you are there. Now as far as my Disney dream goes i don't know exactly what it would be. Just to be able to go back with my family would be amazing enough. Perhaps being able to jump to the front of all the lines would be nice. I would also love to see Walt's old apartment above the fire station. And to just see the inside of the castle would be awesome. My dream is nothing huge, just to be able to take all my family back to the place that gave us so many wonderful memories and see if we can't make many more.

My Disney dream is to take my whole family to Disney... I promised my kids that we would go to Disney World once the youngest has turned 5. Well, the youngest is now 10 and I'm five years late on my promise! Most of the kids are young adults now, and we would have a grand time together experiencing Disney for our first time. The two youngest (10 and 13) are girls who watch the Disney channel for many (too many!) hours every day! You would make a special family very happy to give us a Disney vacation this year!

My dream.....my dream is a very special dream. This past summer my family was on a weekend lake trip and we were hit by a drunk driver in a boat. Our family suffered a great loss. Lonnie was the child like adult of the family and always wanted a fun time for the kids to be together. So, my dream would be for the kids to have the most magical vacation together in the most magical place in the world and in honor of him. He would have given anything in the world to be able to do that himslef before his life was taken away so suddenly. "Its all about the kids" he would always say.

My dream is to take my kids to Disneyworld. My husband went once as a child, and neither I nor my kids have ever been. We live on less than $12,000 a year, and any sort of vaccation is incredable. I would love to see my daughters face as she meets the princesses. She will be 3 in 4 days, and is totally obsessed with the Tinkerbell, and recently, with the Disney Princesses. It would be amazing to us, and a memory we would have forever.

To Whom it May Concern: My dream is for my daughter the have the opportunity to see and enjoy Disney. My little girl has a special needs and our family has truly struggled over the last nine years. My daughter was diagnosed with a rare seizure condition at 9 month of age. She began having seizures at 7 months of age and continued those for years. At this stage in life she is seizure free and medication free, but has delays due to the medications. She was never supposed to walk or talk, but miracles happen daily and my family has witnessed this. My little girl speaks, walks and runs. She does all the things she was never supposed to do. She is a trooper and very strong. One of the true joys for my daughter has been Disney. She loves the princesses and even carries a plastic Disney mirror (brought by Santa) everywhere she goes, even while sleeping. In the morning when getting ready for school, when it is time to fix my daughter's hair she will express how she wants her hair styled by naming a princess. If she wants it up and cute, Cinderella, or down and flowing, Sleeeping Beauty. It has been my dream to bring my little girl to Disney for 8 years. I have never been able to afford this and would love the opportunity for my daughter to meet her favorite princesses. The people she builds her world around. Thank you for your time and consideration, Judine Pottmeyer

But my husband hasn't worked in 2 weeks. The money for our trip is being used to live on until he gets a new job. My kids really were looking foward to the trip. It was supose to help take there mine off my cancer. I wish we could still . They are so disapointed. We would to stay in Disney suite of Cinderellas Castle that would have been so great.

My dream is for my parents. The only family vacation we ever took ( I'm an only child) was to Florida when I was 8. We didn't have much money at all, so we only stopped at Disney World for one day on our way to my grandparents. Anyway, my parents have always been very hard working, bad luck kind of people. You know, just when things seem as though they are getting better something (life) comes along and puts you back down. So here we are twenty five years later, and they still have not had a vacation. They both still work full time factory type jobs living paycheck to paycheck. I have been fortunate enough to (with the love and support of my parents) get a good college education, land a well paying (not great, but good) job, be married to a good man, and I now have 3 wonderful children (9,3,1). We are planning our very first family vacation for Disney World this October. I am thrilled that we have been able to save up enough for us to stay for a week in one of the cabins (it helped alot that I got a flyer for 40% off). My only wish is that my parents could have a vaction like this too. I don't have the extra money to bring them along, and they deserve it so very much!!! My wish is to give my mom and dad a real vacation in Disney World. A vacation they have earned many times over.

My Husband is a United States Marine. He is deploying for Afghanistan within weeks. We are going to spend EVERY last penny paying off old debts while he's gone, We will have a second baby right after he arrives back home. He tells me all the time he wants to take our babies to Disneyland. We have a son who will be 2 in March, and I think he would have an absolute blast. Our dreams would come true to go to the Animal part of the Disney parks, and give our son probably the only vacation he would ever get until he is old enough to take one on his own money.

My Disney Dream is being inside the castle and watching the park from above. When I was a little girl my dad made a hugh sacrifice to take me to Disneyland. I looked at the Castle and felt I was in another world and felt that there was magic around it. My teenage daughter and I had a very tough year this year. I know that if I would spend a night in the castle with her, I know it would bring that magic I felt when I was a little into our lives again!

My Disney Dream would be taking my three daughters to Disney World. As a single mom, I do the best I can for my girls, but this would be the ultimate gift to them. My parents were able to take my brothers and I when we were younger, and I long to return....more than I can express. It would mean everything to me to see the thrill and excitment in my daughters' faces as they walk into the Magic Kingdom - yes, that really WOULD be magic!!

We are planning our first DisneyWorld trip as a family in March 2008. We have children ages 3-8 and each have different dreams. My oldest daughter age 8 would like to follow in her fathers footsteps as a veterinarian, she would love to be able to see how the animals are taken care of at animal kingdom, my son age 5 and will turn 6 on our trip 3-15 is so much into pirates and I am hoping to do the princess and pirate party for them, and finally my younges age 3 wants to be a princess when she grows up and this would be mine dream too for us to be able to be made up as princesses and stay in the pricncess castle and I don't think anyone in our family would be disappointed with that. thanks stacy

My dream, and it's been my dream since a child was to go to disneyland (not disneyworld), because that was where Sleeping Beauty's Castle was. As unfortunate as all of this sounds every time I tried to go to Disneyland it all fell through and I was unable to go. My full dream is explore all of Sleeping Beauty's Castle and actually GO to Disneyland. That would be the ULTIMATE DREAM COME TRUE...

My in-laws have been annual passholders to Disneyworld for as long as I can remember (from Ohio) and have been taking various family members to Disney every year, several times a year. My husband is one of 5 siblings, all of whom have families, and we have all spent time loading up "the coach" and heading off to Disney to stay at Fort Wilderness. This year we are going over spring break (our girls are 12 and 10) and we would like to be the ones who pull off getting my husband's parents chosen to be the Grand Marshall of one of the parades! We would definitely be the favorites. Gene and Janice are in there 70's and they just look like kids when they're at Disneyworld. Gene just got his 2nd knee replaced in December and is being brave enough to get back to Disney by March. We're all very excited to come back! Thanks Disney!!

My husband and I are blessed to be able to spend our vacation at WDW, FL April 19th thru 26th this year with our 10 year old daughter. We spent our 2005 vacation at WDW. We had a good time, but had a bad experience at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue (we were seated at the top left balcony where she didn't see a thing and a woman vomited by our table, ruining the rest of the show) and she sprained her ankle running back to our resort room during a rain storm. My wish for my daughter would be to enjoy the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue from a front table and be part of the theatrical magic that she so desperately wanted to experience in 2005.

Wow, Disney Dream...where do I begin; last year this time my family was tested to see how truly committed we are to one another. My 5 year old daughter, (4 at that time) was diagnosed with Luekemia and it seemed as if that was going to be it; we were so scared. Having 5 girls ranging in age of 10 to almost 2, the thought of loosing any of them was hard to bear and it took a toll on me and my husband; there are many things we gave up to make sure she would be ok and one year later, I can say she is doing alright and we are remaining positive, it is still a long road but it is going to be ok. Our Disney Dream would be to stay at the hotel on the Animal Kingdom Grounds in two rooms that overlook the animals, that is all my girls talk about wanting to be able to see them, (we saw the hotel online and they were SO impressed). Financially after this year we are just beginning to get by again and this trip for us all may not be in the cards for this year but hopefully before the girls get too big, it will be able to be a reality; spending time within Animal Kingdom and ALL the parks but having the memory of waking up to the view of those real animals outside the window; the picture is so vivid in my mind,hopefully that will be a picture just as clear in real life...Thanks Disney just for the possibilities!

The last year has been a very hectic one, to say the least, for my family. My mother became sick suddenly the Thursday after Christmas in 2006 after 2 brain surgerys that weekend she died on Jan 2, 2007. In Feb a tumor was found on my nephews brain, it was removed at St Judes and thank God it was not cancer. In March my sister in law had a premature baby after the baby stayed a couple of weeks of hospital stay she was able to go home and is doing find. Memorial Day Weekend my oldest daughter lost her grandfather, the second grandparent in a 5 months. That same weekend my inlaws house burned, it was not a total lost but they are still not back in their home. Prior to that weekend my husbands job of 16 years, working for the same man, started falling apart, he had not slept in 3 days when his parents house burned and that made the 4th. I had to take him to the hospital the next day for dehydration and exhaustion and he had to stay there for a few days. After a long trying summer, he finally resigned at the end of August which was a great blessing for him and my family. It has been a hard year, but he is finally starting a business of his own. This is only a few of the major things,it would take a long time to tell you all the little thing that have been going on with my family. My family will be visiting Disney World the first week in February, the first vacation for our family in a long time. My wish is for our family to have a stress free, worry free, wonderful time while we are in Disney World. We are all so excited and we are trying to plan ahead to make it all that we expect. We just want to have a great time and we are looking forward to our stay!

When we think of Disney World, we are just humbled by what Walt and Roy Disney accomplished. We have been blessed to be able to have enjoyed Walt Disney World, the Disney Cruise Line voyages, and meet such fine employees that have made all of our Disney experiences larger than life. We have been fortunate enough to have met Tim Grabman, Disney Vacation Club Guide. Because of him, we have been able to share our membership with our two Nephews to send them on their honeymoons, as well as, vacation with our in-laws and extended family. There are so many dreams that Disney has already made come true for our family because dreams are what you are about. I have a Brother who has a 25th anniversary in May. His wife has been a special education Teacher for twenty five years. She really loves her job and the children she has instructed over the years. They have always wanted to experience Disney World, and we feel it would be wonderful for them to be able to enjoy a part of what we have experienced. We will leave the dream up to you. Thanks for all you do! Respectfully, Steve

My 5yr old granddaughter Izel was in a car accident on Dec. 16, 2007. She was in ICU for10 days and was in the hospital for a month. She told me that when she was "sleeping' (unconcious) she dreamed of god and that He told her he loved her. She also said that the Disney princesess were hugging her and telling her they loved her and serving her tea. My dream would be for Izel, her 2 yr old sis Sofia and 2yr old cousin Alondra to spend the night at Cincderella's Castle. That would really make her happy and help in her recovery. seh absolutely loves all the pirnceses but her favorites are Cinderella and Jasmin and her favorite place in the whole world is Disneyland!!

My dream would be to give my 4 year old the day to meet all of his favorite characters from toy story and dance on a foat with them! He is a big fan of Buzz light year and Woody! My daughter absolutely LOVES Miley Cyrus (who doesn't), so of course my dream would also be for her to meet her and dance a small routine with her. We live in California but we don't get to travel to Disneyland too often since my daughter is a full time dancer and most of our free time, we are traveling for her competitions. WE need a weekend off for fun and family reconnecting!!!!

My dream is to take my familt to Disney World, soo the pressure of living could melt away. I am only 12, so it's kind of to take them by myself, so I would love to have my dream granted!

We are already blessed with three healthy children, but our dream is to take them and my mom to Disneyworld for the first time. Two years ago we sold our home and had put some money away to take our first Disney cruise. Our children have never been to Florida, but have always wanted to go to Disneyworld. We were planning our trip when our lives took a dramatic turn for the worse. In October 2005, my dad was killed by an impaired driver in a motorcycle accident. He did not have life insurance, so naturally we knew what our savings were truly meant for. Without hesitation, we spend roughly $15,000 to give him a proper burial and help my mom out as best as we could. It devastated our family and we miss him everyday, but God works in mysterious ways. It has been two years since the accident and we haven't been able to save up the money again. Being a teacher in a right to work state isn't a very lucrative job. I'm sure we will save enough one day, but I would really love to take my children to Disneyworld before I have the chance to take my future grandchildren. This would truly be a dream come true for our family.

My Disney Dream is for my family. We are a family of public servents- my husband is a paramedic and fire fighter, I am an intermediate. We love our jobs- helping people in need, saving lives, public education, all of it. I have two children, my daughter is 5 and my son is almost 2. Needless to say Disney movies and stories are a huge part of our daily lives. Recently, my daughter was going through photos of my childhood and saw me with Cinderella. I became a hero. My husband and I started planning our trip to Disney World that day. Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to go. My husband had to have cardiac bypass surgery 2 weeks ago. We are down to just my income, and many things will have to wait. It breaks my husband's and my heart to tell our daughter that we can't go to Cinderella's castle right now. I would like to give the trip to our whole family- but mainly for my daughter and son who keep my husband and I on track and provide the upmost joy.

My little girl loves anything princess and my son is so laid back and loves everything about disney, I can't wait for them to see it and us to see it thru their little eyes!

My husband and I along with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren will be visiting walt Disney World in Orlando the last week of October or the first week of November of 2008. My dream is to have my grandchildren be the Grand Marshalls of the Parade. My grandson will be 4 years old when we come down. At age 5 months, he began having seizures and spent 9 days in Neo Natal Intensive Care in Boston. After 2 years of medication and treatment he is now seizure free. He is slightly delayed in speech but otherwise is a healthy little boy. Each time he sees the commercials for WDW he points and says "me, me". So we will be fulfilling his little dream and know he would love sitting up there waving and showing his beautiful smile as a chosen Grand Marshall. Sincerely, Pauline Riccio

My dream is to get my daughter to Disney world like I told her I would before my wife's health care hit our pocketbook. My daughter has spent many days in hospital waiting rooms for her mother. Her mother Sandy has diebetes with neuropathy. The disease several years ago shut down her stomach and she had to have it removed. (Yes one can live without a stomach) It has been a real rollercoaster ride with her health. My wife blames herself for all the money that goes out on her for her nightly TPN treatments. Her strenghth is not the best and family means much. I tell her to keep her head up because she means so much to us. My dream would be to take my wife and daughter to Disney world as I can't and get her her sons and stepdaughter from Colorado there also to build a memory to fill all our lives with memories to store as a treasure greater than any pirates chest for us all.

My Dream would be for my family to be allowed to spend the night in Cinderella's castle and meet the cast of High School Musical. I have a 9 year old daughter and a 7 year old son who both LOVE everything Disney. We are planning a trip in April and that would be a wonderful surprise. It would also be a nice surprise if the trip was an all expense paid vacation.

My dream is to be able to my whole family to Disneyland. Our youngest daughter is almost 1 year in remission from bone cancer. She was granted a wish to go to Disney world last year. however, my four children couldn't go because they weren't blood related to her. So we ended up going without them. It was bitter-sweet. It was sooo awesome to see her with a smile on her face. It was a nice break from doctors and chemo visits. As her step-mom I'd love to be able to take ALL of my family on vacation. But it's just too expensive for the size of family we have to be able to all go. We have 6 children. Faith is our youngest and kicked cancer's butt. Our oldest is 17 years old. It would be so wonderful to be able to go. Thanks so much, Pam

My dream is to take my niece Tara to Disney Land. She is 11 years old and has never had the opportunity to travel or see attractions such as Disneyland. Her mom left her and has been gone now for five months, leaving her with her father. Her father, my brother, is doing an amazing job, but is barely able to make ends meet. A trip like this would be out of the questions. This abandonment has left her devastated and I'd like to bring some sunshine into her life with a fun trip to California.

I am 58 years old and as a child I remember walking 15 blocks to pay 5 cents (the people had a t.v.) to watch the disney program and my eyes always got watery when I would see the castle with the fire works on the back ground at the beginign of the show. Yes, I have a t.v. now and still enjoy watching the walt disney shows and cartoons but I enjoy it more because I am now watching it with my grandaughter who loves cinderella and all the diffrent princess. My dream is to be able to spend a night at the princess castle with my grandaughter and my family. My grandaughter (Brianna) is standing next to me as I am writing this and I read to her what I wrote and her eyes got watery and she said "Ita that is my dream too."

My dream is for my brother to be able to come and stay for a night in Cinderella's Castle. He will soon turn eleven and this past summer has been very hard for him. We found out that he has a disease called Crohn's disease and it has no cure. He has to go to the doctor frequently to get IV treatments to help. He is currently in remisson. On top of that our parents got divorced at the same time and he has been very strong through all of it. I am simply a sister that wants her brother to be happy. Please make our dream come true!

My dream is to walk thru the turnstyles of Epcot again. We're going back in four weeks and we can hardly wait. We've been coming to Disney World since 1983, at first every year and then as the kids got older, every few years. I always know we are 'home' when I see Spaceship Earth looming in the distance as I round the curve in the Epcot parking lot. The excitement builds and I know my dream has once again, come true.

Sept. 12, 2007 was as my twin sister puts it, "her and her husband's Sept.11th". My brother in law suffered a massive stroke. They had to remove part of his skull (temporarily) to relieve pressure to his brain. He has suffered permanent damage to his left side. He now lives in a nursing center learning how to walk all over again, get some use out of his left arm, hand and left eye. The doctors have said he will most likely never drive and probably never work again. He still has yet to understand that their is no paycheck coming in (he was primary income). It has not occurred to him about the mortgage getting paid, medical insurance, the kids college expenses etc. A benefit was held on his behalf to raise money for such needs but will not last long. When my brother in law found out about the benefit he was trying to figure out who they could help by giving them the money, not realizing it is him and his family who are in need. My sister does not tell him of the moneytary situation so as not to get him upset even though she realizes they could lose their home and life as they once knew it at anytime. She goes to see him religiously, everyday and sits by his bedside from morning until visiting hours are over at night. 2008 is the year they will celebrate their 25th anniversary. John had planned to take her to Italy. He does not understand right now that he will most likely not be able to physically make or afford such a trip. He now talks about us all going in April to Disneyworld (him, my sister and their 3 kids and me and my 2 kids) as a way of thanking all of us for helping him get through this nightmare and to just spend time with his family that he almost did not get to see grow up. My Disney dream is for him to get to at least take my sister and their 3 kids to Disney, all expenses paid. They will not get their 25th anniversary dream vacation in Italy, but they can go to Epcot and see Italy through Disneyworld while enjoying precious time that he almost lost with his family. They have been through so much and have a long road medically and financially together and it would be nice to see them all smile again, if not for just a week. PLEASE help me make this Disney dream come true!

This past January, 2007, I had to give up my dream job because I was too tired to work at age 29. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in late 2006 and the disease finally overtaken my body and mind. I had to leave my job and my home to return to my parents, giving up 10 years of hard earned education, work and most of all my independence. This past year is a blur. I slept for the first few months and am not working at this time. While I was off, I did do some work on-line teaching people around the world how to speak English in Second Life. This let me meet many interesting people, most of all the man of my dreams. We would like to be married in a small ceremony for our family. It would be amazing to spend our honeymoon as part of the Year of a Million Dreams in the most magical place on earth. I haven't been to Disney in several years, and the last time I was there I only had a little bit of time to visit the Animal Kingdom. My pass that still had two days on it was then stolen from my purse, along with my birthday money, video camera of footage of the Baltimore Zoo visiting my specialized preschool classroom. I was never reimbursed. I love Disney and the Disney Magic, and would love to share it with my future husband!

my biggest dream would be to take my family to disneyland that i love soooo much, if it were up to me, i would go many times a year. I would like to see the smile on my families faces considering all the sad things that has happen in the year 2007, we lost a couple of very loved family members, and seem not to be able to shake it off, we are all very unhappy,but i know that going to disneyland would make a great difference in our lives. My biggest dream would be to stay at the disneyland suite with my family for a couple of days, thanks for listening.

My Walt Disney World Dream would be to see my son and his family (wife and two children) win a trip to this wonderful resort. Before his son was born, the three of them and I traveled to Orlando and spent a week thoroughly enjoying the sights and sounds and smells and feels of Disney. That was three years ago. In March of this year a son was born four months prematurely while they were in the midst of a home building project - doing as much of the work themselves to keep the cost down. With all the expenses of a preemie baby (which had not been anticipated) and the mother's hospital stay of two months (including a bout of e-coli infection for both mother and baby) coming on top of their building expenes, they will not be able to afford another Disney vacation for a long time. They have not ever complained, but always count their blessings for this addition to their family. They are a loving and giving family and I would like to see them have the chance at another vacation at Walt Disney World. Any prize which would involve innoculations required for out-of-country travel would not be appropriate as they still have to be very careful with the baby's immune system for a while. Thanks so much for your consideration of this dream of mine!!

My dream is for my mother and I to be able to go to Disney World together. I always wanted to go since I was a little girl because I was pretty much raised on Disney everything. My first room as a baby was pretty much dedicated to everything Mickey Mouse and I have been a Disney movie fanatic since I could understand anything including my all time favorite movie The Lion King (which I believe I have seen more than a million times because I broke every tape and dvd I every had because I watched it so much). I just really wanted this opportunity because I will be going to college after I graduate this year and it would really be nice to go with my mother. She is pretty much my best friend and she has always wanted to take me but she never had the opportunity to. Well, I hope my dream will come true. Thank you.

My dream is not for my family of five. I dream is for my sister and he husband and their 6 children. As you probably imagine travel and vacation for a family of eight is extremely costly. I wish that they would received a 1 week visit to Walt Disney World Theme Parks with Hotel inculded. This would truly be a dream come true as the children range in age from 1 to 13 years old. Just having the opportunity to experience the magaical world of disney and the spectacular theme parks would truly be a DREAM COME TRUE.

ITS GAS,FOOD,TICKETS,HOTEL WHICH ARE NOT CHEAP OR WE PLAN A TRIP OR WE PAY THE RENT FOR OUR HOME. WE WORK TOGETHER AS A FAMILY TO EARN WHAT WE HAVE.

I was 6 years old when I first thought of going to Disney World. I am now 28 and have yet to get there. I have 2 children . My daughter is 5 and my son is 3. They to would love to go. I dont have a sad sob story just 2 children who would love to go have the time of their young lives and a set of parents who would have just as much fun as their kids. Being a college student makes it quite difficult financially at the present time but eventually maybe someday we will get there. Have a nice day.

My dream would be for the whole family to come to disney and stay at the Polyoniseian (sp) hotel. My dad died in July 2006, he had went into the hospital for heart surgery and after four long months in the hospital from infections to having to be put on a ventilator that if he would have lived he would have been on it for years to come. Then one day he got an serious infection and it was too much and passed. Anyway before he went into surgery we talked about when he got out how he wanted us all to go on a family trip to Disney and stay at the Polyonisien ( for my mom)... she has always wanted to stay there but we never had. Even while he was in the hopital i would talk to him about it and he would shake his head yes, that he wanted to go soon as the doctor would let him. This is something that i would love to win for my mom and the whole family because there is no other way we could ever afford to do it. I know that this would mean so much to all of us and i now that my dad is looking down adn smiling that i am entering this for us. Thank you very much for the consideration.

My 8-year-old daughter tells me that she would love to live in DisneyWorld. She and my 9-year-old are one of not too many fortunate to be able to return to DisneyWorld year after year. We know and see so many children in our town that never have seen the outskirts of their neighborhoods. My two children, my husband and myself have been very fortunate to be able to have the lifestyle for us to revisit DisneyWorld year after year. My wish is that all those that have not seen DisneyWorld be able to visit and experience the joy we always experience on each trip!!! I agree with my daughter as well. I would love to move to Orlando, get a job in DisneyWorld and see the excitement on everyone's faces as they explore the parks!!!

My father just recently found out that he has bone cancer and he is not doing well. His dream is to go on a cruise or go to Disneyworld with his wife and all of his posterity. He has always been the most wonderful father and he has always been there for all of those that he meets. He has always had a very charitible heart and has sacrificed many things for others. Our hope is that he might be able to have his dream fulfilled and be able to spend quality time with his family. This would be a one in a million dream for our family. Thanks for all Disney does to help cheer up everyone's lives. Lori Heaton

My Disney Dream would be to stay at Cinderella's castle. When my husband and I married, we were very young, only 18 and 21, and now at the end of November we will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We weren't able to go on a honeymoon because we just couldn't afford it. Then a few years later when we could, along came the kids and then once again we couldn't afford it. If I was able to stay in Cinderella's castle with my real life prince it would make our anniversary so special.

About 5 years ago we did a grand gathering at Disney world with 5 families, totaling about 30 people. All of our girls who are the same age have grown up together and now they are seniors in high school. After this point they will all be going their separate ways and even some of the parents will be leaving our area. I would love to relive the grand gathering we did 5 years ago.

My Disney Dream is to be able to take my family of 5 to Disney World in Florida. We usually go to California's Disneyland but we haven't gone in about a year due to financial reasons. My husband and I were going to go but unexpected things came up and we are not able to go. My husband and I never had a honeymoon and never took a trip by ourselves. To be honest, I love to travel with my 3 kids and to share the exciting experience with them. We've been telling our kids that we will probably take another trip to Disneyland in about 2-3 years, that's when my youngest will be about 4-5 years old. Disney World is a dream and probably will not be acheived in the near future. Costs from Hawaii to Florida is rediculous but we would love the opportunity to experience that Disney Magic in Florida. My husband's wish is to just watch the lowering of the flag at sundown. At all the times we went, he has always missed it. My dream again is to be able to share the Disney experience in Florida with my family of 5.

Once upon a time there was a prince and princess who were visiting Walt Disney World for the Fourth of July week. The prince decided to surprise his princess by arranging a fabulous dinner in the world renown Cinderella's Castle. It was a long day at the park and dinner seemed to take forever. The princess was getting upset because the fireworks she waited all day to see she was about to miss. They were still in the castle waiting for dinner. All of a sudden a man majestically dressed came to the dinner table and told the princess he had a surprise for her. The surprise was a beautiful pillow with a glass slipper on it and a shiny ring in the slipper. All the princess could do was cry and the prince asked for her hand and asked her if she would marry him. Of course the princess said yes and they ended that fabulous night with fireworks and the night parade at the Magic Kingdom. That was a night that the prince and princess will remeber for the rest of their life. On July 5, 2008 it will mark a five year marrage for the prince and princess. Their dream is to relive the night staying in the castle and riding on the carrage. I do believe DREAMs come true I have my Prince and I hope we can be picked for a dream to remember the night that started our life together 5 years ago on July 5th 2008. Thank you DISNEY!!!

It has been my dream to bring my twins (12 years old) to Disneyworld for many years. As a single parent it seemed impossible, but somehow I have managed to make my dream come true. We are visited the first week in November to celebrate my 40th birthday. I am not sure who is going to have more fun me or the kids!

I have a grandson and granddaughter. They are going to Disney World in Flordia for the first time the first week of December 2007. They are looking forward to it so much. When you ask them about their trip their eyes get so big. It is there Birthday present from their parents. My husband and I took my daughter to Disney World in 1990, so it has been a long time. We loved it. It really is true that you feel like a kid again when you go. My dream is for my grandchildren to be able to stay the night in the castle or be able to ride in the Disney parade. If this dream is not possible then I would like for them and their parents to have the best time they can and have wonderful memories of a place that really do make dreams come true and you really feel like a child again. From a grandmother who would like to see a dream come true for her grandchildren whom she loves very much. Cindy Helmick

I am taking my son to Disneyworld for the first time in Nov. He deserves it because he is very special to my husband and I. He is in special ed, has a seizure disorder(controlled with meds), and we are having him tested for a form of Autism. He in every way is normal, yet in lots of other ways, isn't. He has a hard time making friends, yet he is the sweetest, nicest boy inside. My wish for him, is to enjoy himself and not have to worry about anything. No school, no peer pressure, no chores or rules....just fun! Of course, with mom and dad...we want to have fun too!

I have three beautiful children. I have not seen them in over a year as they reside with thier Dad. I have wanted so much to give them a life of support and opportunity, but my health has not been good and due to circumstances beyond my control,I have not been able to give my children anything in seven years. I have my children in my heart at all times and I would give the world to them if I was given the opportunity but Unfortunately it is not going to happen. I would just like to have them back with me for a time and to give them a lifetime experience that would at least show them that I love them more then life itself. I know that a dream come true will not fix all the things that need fixing but it might just give them some better hope and inspired thoughts towards thier trust in the future. They have never been on a real vacation before. It would simply be a real dream come true.I hope someone will consider our dream an important one.

I am married with two boys. I grew up with three brothers and was the youngest child and grandchild. Needless to say, I was very girly! After having my two boys, I have lost touch with some of the frilly things. We went to Disney over Spring Break this year and again I was amazed with the castle. I would literally stand there and stare for what seemed like hours. My children and husband tried to be patient but in the end, I had to be torn away. My dream is to stay in the castle and live the girly dream if only for a brief time. To show my family how they can be drawn in with awe.

Our dream was to someday take our family to WDW. My husband and I had planned to take our three boys, 8,6,& 3 to WDW in the next few years. Unfortunately we were taken by a con contractor, for a LARGE amount of money, which we will never get back. It is going to take us until after we retire to recoupe, if we do at all. Our dream is to take our boys on a vacation to WDW that they will remember for the rest of their lives! My husband and I have been to WDW, about 25 yrs ago, and we can still remember that feeling when you walk in and see that magical castle!!

My Disney dream is to be able to spend my daugther's 3rd birthday with the princesses. We were able to take our older daughter when she turned 3yrs old so my little 2yr old has been talking about her birthday at Disneyland too! I want her hopes to turn into a reality. I'd like her to share princess memories, fun pictures and dance with the characters as did our older daughter. It is a joy to see children in awe of all that has ever been since on TV come to life. I'd like to experience that joy once more but this time with our second and last princess Clairissa. Thank you.

I have always dreamed of coming to Disney World. I was on my way, 15 years ago, when I fell and injured my neck and spine. I had two operations within 6 months, that left me disabled. I still didn't give up. i started a support group for people with spinal injures and ran it for 5 years. Then I had another operation which left me unable to continue running it. In 2005, I tried to get there again. It didn't work out. I am 60 years old and want to come to Disney World to feel young again, just once more, before my disabilty makes it impossible for me to do so.

My Disney Dream would be that this year we booked time at Disney with my sons, well two of them. You see my oldest son was killed in a car accdident this past June 15th. It has been a hard four months for my husband,my boys and myself. We could not stay home alone without John (my son) so we thought Disney might pull us out of our depression. I just want my two boys to have at least the time we have there happy and not as sad as they have been since they have lost their brother. I want to go one day without crying, and I want to see my husband without the stressed look on his face if just for one day. This would be my Disney Dream. I wish that it would come true when we arrive on the 23rd of December. Kelly Todd

my dream is,i have a 3yr old daughter,she is my only child i am 54yrs old,and being my only child she is treated like a princess,well she has me rapped around her finger because she is "DADDY"S LITTLE GIRL",i have just started working a couple of weeks ago due to an illness i had at the beginning of the year--i am better now but being off for a long period of time ,i used all of my saved finances for hospital bills and everyday bills and living---my daughter, samantha, keeps telling me "DADDY am i a princess-YES i say,then her next question is "can we go to see cinderella and stay in her castle???" i don't want to say NO but i have to,i don't have the funds,and then i am quite sure there is a wait--my daughter is very found of all of the princesses-but cinderella stands out the most--it is the commercial that she remembers--the commercial of the castle and the room that cinderella has-she keeps reminding me that "DADDY can we go there and i can be like cinderella???" she thens tells me that she has her cinderella dress and shoes and crown--i can wear them there??? this is my dream and wish--a night in cinderllas room at the castle. this would be "A NIGHT TO REMEBER !" thank you

My Disney wish goes to my mother. My mom loves Disney more then any place in the world. She has worked very hard and i would love nothing more then to see her spend a weekend staying in the princess castle sweet. My mom made sure that me and my family always made a summer trip to Disney. When our family hit rock bottom the one place that helped my mother get back on her feet was Disney. Thank you guys so much you do more for people then you will ever know, because of you she is a much happier person. Please help me do somthing for my mother for all that she has done for me.

My Disney Dream is to allow my autistic god-son to go to Disneyland whenever he chooses. I wish for him to learn more about drawing the Disney characters. He loves to draw and does it really well. I wish for that he could meet all the Disney characters, especially Mickey Mouse, which is his favorite. I also wish that I could help him with his autism.

We all know that the "Kingdom Hearts" video games was a co-production of Disney and Square-Enix, so, my dream is this: I would like to see "Kingdom Hearts" characters in either Disneyland or Walt Disney World, it doesn't have to be both. Of course, the characters would be Sora, Riku, and Kairi with Roxas and Namine occasionally. Expecting Xehanort or any members of Organization XIII (other than Roxas) would probably be overkill. If they do bring "Kingdom Hearts" to either Disney theme park, the main gang (Mickey, Donald, Goofy, etc.) could commemorate the arrival by dressing in their "Kingdom Hearts" outfits on the first day. Maybe even recycle those outfits for Halloween. I know, too much to hope for, but hey, it doesn't hurt to dream, does it?

My husband, son and I will be visiting Disney World in November with our very special child Rosie. Rosie has Apraxia and is unable to speak like other children her age. She comprehends everything like a normal four year old girl. She loves Cinderella and Mickey. It will be wonderful to see Rosie embrace these characters as many of them are non-verbal but will communicate physically as Rosie does. We want her to be in a magical place where she can be loved and treated like the true princess that she is!

We just went online to buy tickets for hannah Montana, it is now 11:15 and all the tickets are sold out. My Disney Dream would be for hannah Montana to sing at one of the theme parks while we are visiting between November 11 and November 18 2007. An even bigger dream would be to meet her while at Disney, i know every one of her songs and I have seen every one of her episodes at least 10 times...my parents even know every episode of hannah Montana and were going to get the tickets as part of my Christmas present....We still may be able to go, but we are not sure because the prices are so high after everyone bought the tickets, Please, Please, Please if Myle can be at Disneyworld Florida during November, it would make my biggest Disney Dream come true.

We are going to Walt Disney World this December and we will be there during Chrismas. My biggest wish for my family is to win the random "Year of a Million Dream". We will be with my family and my husband's family during our Christmas vacation and there will be 19 of us going. We have a nephew and a niece who are very close to us and I wish to bring them with me too if I win the one in a million night stay at the Cinderella Castle. My husband has been to Disney World for about 20 or more times now and this is one thing that I hope would give him and kids, nephes and niece the best gift ever. My husband was the one who made my dream come true, to see Disney World the first time in 1995. Since then, Disney became our favorite vacation spot. Our son, Kasey is now six years old and daughter, Kaylee is now four. They are both Disney in love with Disney. Their favorite park is Magic Kingdom because they both love the rides and shows. Kasey loves Lightning McQueen and Kaylee is so much into princesses and wish to to be one of the princesses when she is old enough to be one. I hope and wish with all my heart that this wish of mine will come true, not only for me, but for my family too. Thank you so much Disney for always making magic.

Ever since I was five years old, My mother and father would take me to Walt Disney World. We would go at least once a year and always have a great time. I am a brother of four, the youngest, so my brothers would always go running off while just me and my mom and dad would ride the rides together, eat at all the good spots together and take good walks around the park while the shows were on. We stopped going when I was sixteen because we all moved to North Carolina. I am now back in Florida with a wife of my own and have visited recently. It is during this visit, that I began to think about the one dream I wish I could make come true. I wish I could relive those moments. Just me and my Mom and Dad... and my wife, staying at a Fort Wilderness Cabin (like always) and going to all the parks... Just Mom, Dad and me... that would be great.

Boynton Beach,

I have been to Disney World 32 times since birth. I have stayed in almost every disney resort over the years. My father, a police officer was also the Disney Group Travel contact for the Philadelphia Police. Disney's Group Travel was a great program. Every year my family and other police families (usually about 40-60 people) would gather at my house and a representative from DISNEY WORLD would come and give away prizes, talk about disney, watch a video + slides and have a great time. We would get our flight plans and park tickets. AND WE ALWAYS STAYED IN THE CONTEMPORARY RESORT!! Well, sure enough some wheres around 1990-91 Disney shut down the program. BUT my family kept strong, we still went in October every year. My parents divorced and my father stopped going to Disney for years. I joined the US Army out of high school and still made time to drive from Ft. Bragg to Disney World every year, sometimes even twice a year. I left for Iraq in 2005 while in the reserves and took advantage of the free 7 day hopper pass for combat veterans. In October 2006 my mother, father, brother and his girlfriend and my girlfriend(whom I will be getting married to in 30 days) got together and stayed at shade of green military resort for a wonderful Disney World trip, it was during the year of a million dreams and this trip sure was. AND YES, we did get free mouse ears with year of a million dreams on them from a wonderful cast member, which we all wore for the remaining 3 days we were there. Except my brother, because he's to cool for mouse ears. haha...It was a wonderful trip with the whole family back together! This was also the first time my father had been to Disney World in about 5 years. That January my mother died, the last photos we have of us together are from test track and a photo of all of us in front of spaceship earth. We were all very sad by her death, especally my father, who just retired after 36 years as a Police Officer after her death. Now, almost a year later, I am getting married in less than a month with a honeymoon to Europe and a stop off at Paris disneyland WITH a mickey and minne wedding cake topper! I have also planned a Disney World trip for December 2007 for my dad and I, I lied and told him a friend of mine couldn't go on the trip and sold me the tickets really cheap. I just wanted to visit Disney World with my dad like old times. I really hope that this trip will be nothing but wonderful memories again..... I hope my story really makes you think about that Disney World trip, you don't know when it might be the last time you have fun with a parent.

My Disney World Dream would be for me to have a wheelchair waiting at my resort on September 8th when my family of 10 arrives At the Contempary Resort. I have a condition called RSD which is a condition that prevents me from walking long distances. I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my body that now allows me to walk short distances. My Dr requested that the insurance provide me with a chair, but for some reason there was a mix up and I found out 5 days before we leave that it has to go to an appeal board. Which in plain english means I will not receive it before we leave. I currently walk with a walker and cane at home, but it would be impossible for me to do Disney for 8 days without a wheelchair. I know that I can rent one at the resort on each day, but you must turn it in each night. I do not want to be a a burden to my family and have them delayed each day while we stand in line to rent a chair, plus we have dinner reservations each night and they are at different resorts within Disney World and I am worried about how I am going to get there. I know Disney is all about making "Dreams Come True" and just the fact that I am now well enough to go(we had a trip planned 3 years ago and I became sick and had to cancell)is a "Dream Come True". My daughter has planned this vacation for over a year now down to each day what park and place we will be eating at and I do not want to be the cause of holding up everyone. It may seem like a small thing or stupid thing to some people, but when you are at the mercy of others to get you from point A to point B, it is a really BIG DEAL!!!!!! Anyway, if anyone reads this and can help me out I would really appreciate it and truly be grateful. We are signed up as a Grand Family Gathering arriving Sept. 8th and departing Sept.16th with 7 adults and 3 children staying at The Contempary Resort Tower, it it under Ward Family. My dream for the last 3 years was to get well enough to make this trip and see Disney Magic through my 3 granddaughters eyes. I have seen it through my 3 now grown daughters eyes 5 different times over the years and my dream is getting close to coming through!!!!! Thank you, Nana to 3 Beautiful Girls and Mom to 3 Beautiful Daughters

Hello, first let me start by saying my father and mother, myself and my girls are huge disney fans. I have been to WDW 17 times! That's awesome. My father got us started and then we started staying at Pop Century which was a wonderful treat. Anyway,we had planned to go to WDW the day after Christmas this year and had to postpone a week because of an infection in my father's hand.(surgery,etc.) So my parents went again in July and was disappointed that me and my girls were not going. We discussed going once again in October (dad bought the girls princess dresses....again) to wear for the halloween nights, which we have attended before a couple of years back. Anyway the bad news is that my dad has just been diagnosed with cancer (colon...we hope that is all). So we may have to postpone our October trip for a while because of the surgery and so on and so forth. I don't think we can make it with a 2-day road trip and flying 6 people is out of the question. So my disney dream is that my family gets to go...even if it is just my father and mother (who got us into disney when I was a little girl) They are the reason (father especially) that my girls have been introduced to disney. We are all princesses and we have the best prince in the world...my dad. I am afraid that things are gonna get worse and honstly, if he could take my brother and his son, that would be his dream. Ultimately, I would like for all of us to go because I haven't been there with my brother since I was 9 (now 35). So reliving these memories one last time together with my family, my brother and nephew and my 2 parents....that would be my dad's dream. We love Disney!

I was a young teenager my first time at Disney. My parents worked very hard to take 3 children there. It was and still is a magical place. Now I am in my mid- thirties and have 3 children of my own. My husband and I have worked to bring our children to the magic. My disney wish is to give my parents the opportunity to experience the magic once again. Its been 20 years since their last visit and only the Magic Kingdom and Epcot were built at the time. Even tickets to the park would be more than enough for a dream come true.

My Disney Dream has always been to become a member of Club 33 at Disneyland. Even if it was just for one day, I'd love to be able to have lunch or dinner there and experience a little bit of the special behind the scenes feeling!!

My Disney Dream would be to see my daugther, Macy, ride the Dumbo Ride without having to wait in line. We went to Disney World when she was 3 years old and we were in a hurry and she didn't get to ride Dumbo. She is now 6 and when commercials for Disney are on, she says, "Daddy, remember when I didn't get to ride Dumbo!" We are going back June 2008 and would love to see her ride Dumbo!

My daughter's(4) dream would could true if she met Cinderella, that would be her dream come true, especially if she could go with her mom, and 5 brothers, after one of her brother's get back from Iraq(Jabuary) and a brother and his wife in Texas. She asked me to write that. I am a single mother and can not afford such. Truthfully, she was traumatized when she was 2 years old and it took a stuffed dog and Cinderella for her to come out of her fear's. We would read to her about Cinderella and she would watch Walt Disney's Cinderella movie many times. I too, had gone through problems as a child and something about Cinderella makes you tolerate more things and believe dreams can come true. Reguardless, we try to stay happy with our life and do count the many blessings we do have. Thank you for making dreams come true!

My dream is to go to WDW with my husband, as in the 13 years together have never gone anywhere on a plane together. We would like to have a little fun mixed with some romance and what a better place than WDW. I also have a child from my first marriage that I have NEVER took on a vacation and he is now a father of a 4 year old girl who is into Cinderella so much. I would love to see the look on her face if she could see her in person. This little girl has been though a lot as her parents just got a divorce. I also have RA and Fibromyalgia and I do not know how long before I will be able to actually be able to go on rides and do other things with my granddaughter.

After our Disney world trip with friends in 2003, My husband and I committed to returning for a family vacation with our 2 girls Lacey and Allie every other year. In 2005 we invited the Chapman family (their first trip) and had another incredible time. August 25th of 2007 our family and the White family (their first trip) are returning to Disney World. I unfortunately was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy on July 19th. My Dr.ýs say I am able to still attend our family vacation but donýt recommended me riding the biggest most intense rides. I would love to give my girls a night at Cinderellaýs Castle andor a ride in th parade it would be a dream come true. What a way to introduce the Whites to Disney World. Thank you for allowing us to be kids again and again.

My number one dream is to stay in Cinderella's Castle Suite. I have been going to Disney World since I was three years old. I have loved Disney ever since I was two years old. I have been to Disney World a million times it seems like. I went to Disney World this past year in 2006 at Christmas and it was so amazing. I was wishing and hoping that I would get chosen to be in Cinderella's Castle Suite because, I didn't know that it started in January. But, I am supposed to go this Summer so hopefully I will get chosen to stay in the Castle. I love Disney so much that I have my room painted in Disney characters and I have a bunch of disney clothes. I absolutely love Disney. I wish that i lived in Disney World in Cinderella's Castle. I am hoping that when I am 16 I will work at the Disney Park. Hopefully I can be a charcater such as Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. But, I don't know. Any of the princesses are good for me. I can't wait until this Summer. But, it is so far away. I know that there is no real princesses or Disney characters but, I like to believe that everything in Disney is real. That is just the way I am. Sometimes when I love something so much and it's not real I just have to believe that it is real. I wish that I was in Disney World right now. I have a new puppy Yorkie named Tinkerbell and she acts just like the real fairy Tinkerbell. She gets my grandma's houseshoes off her feet and takes them under the dining room table. But, right when she gets something she prances in a very sassy way like the fairy Tinkerbell. She will prance while she's looking over her shoulder. It is soooooooooo cute. I love her so much. She is so sweet. One year when i was 6 My grandparents took me and my dad to Disney World for the Summer and then to Universal Studios. It was amazing. I've had trips that I will never forget. Well, here I am signing off. Love, :-)Shelby:-)

My parents took my sister and my family (my kids were 3, 5 and 7 at the time) for a "Once In A Lifetime" week long trip to Disney World in 2005. Unfortunately, my 3 and 5 year old girls and I got the flu and spent the entire trip on tylenol, cough medicine and breathing treatments. My youngest has asthma, so it was especially bad for her - we spent our last night in an Orlando city emergency room. We managed to see a few special things and got on a few rides with the girls, but had to cancel many of our plans. The kids had fun, but they have no idea how much they missed out on. My dream is to take them back while they're still young, though I know for a fact that nothing short of a miracle will give us enough money to do so. I can always dream, though...

my family and I have visited disney world a few times before and are planning another trip for june 12th of 2008. neither my husband nor I make alot of money so we usually pay for our trip over a yrs time. this most times results in us having to drive to disney from middletown pa. this is a 20 hour drive and our youngest is autistic so the car trip is exhausting. we would love to fly to disney because it would be so much less hassle and more time to enjoy ourselves, but we cannot afford the airfare for a family of 5. if you could make our dream come true we would really appriciate it thanks

Me and my whole family will be going to Disney land this October. This is including the three Kids my parent's are in the process of adopting. And two foster kids they have just taken in. My parent's have already raised five kids of there own, and still going strong. The two foster kids that they have just taken in are six and twelve. They have had really hard lives. They have been through so much! The other day my mom took them to Wal-Mart and the twelve year old told her they had never been to Wal-Mart. She then went on to tell my mother that they never went anywhere. And that there mother made her stay home with the six year old alone all the time. I am writing you to tell you this because them just getting to go to Disney land is going to be amazing. But since it is the year of a million dreams I was hopping that you might be able to do something special for us. Or at least them. They are both very big high school musical fans and the twelve year old loves Corbin blue. They are two of the most amazing kids you will ever meet, and I just know that anything special you guys could do for us would show them that the world isn't all bad and that people really do care for them. I hope that you will be willing to help me in making this an amazing trip for them. Thank you

I work for a wonderful company called Ballys Park Place Casino Hotel. Every year each department chooses a family in the community and we become special santa's. I work for the housekeeping department, and last year we had a beautiful family. A single mom with 4 small children. we collected many items to make their christmas a beautiful one.Usually we dont get to see the family we help but we decided to take it a step further by keeping the family all year. This christmas would be the most magical one if we could send that family to disney for christmas!! to see their faces when we tell them they are going would be the best dream come true for me. thank.

My Disney Dream is to get to work with the animators and learn how they work every day. I also would like to dress up as a charcter and sign autographs for the kids. My biggest dream is to work at Disney one day even if it means being a ganitor, but if I could expirence these things before I graduate from school my dreams would be answered.

I think most people will agree that when you think of Disney, you think of happy & magical times. For me,since I was little I loved watching the Mouseketters and The Disney Channel. Every time I saw a parade on TV I wondered what it would be like to be there. Not until I was 17 did I get to experience Disney for myself; and ever since then it became my home away from home. My Disney Dream would be for my entire family to know that feeling. Now that I have a family of my own, I want my children to experience the magic as well as my mother,grandmother, brothers and sisters. Since none of them were fortunate enough to experience it, I would love for them to experience it together for the first time. We are hoping to make this dream a reality next year! :)

My husband & I visited Universal this past June for the first time. We must be spoiled by Disney because we were definitely NOT impressed by Universal! The "cast members" were rude and not helpful at all. For example, when we asked directions for something we were told "it's over there" and they would point (never showed us on a map where it was or anything). They do have some neat rides, but it definitely is NOT Disney and in our opinion it never will come close to Disney standards (no matter what they do). We decided we would not go back to Universal (though once the Harry Potter theme is built we will go see that, but at least we'll know not to expect alot from Universal).

When I was a child, I remember hearing about the opening of a magical place called Walt Disney World. It didn't have to be said, because I already knew, that I would never get to visit this place with my family. We never traveled anywhere. Since then, I have grown up, married, and now have three children of my own. We are very fortunate to be planning our third trip to Disney World. My Disney Dream would be for us to have Magic Kingdom all to ourselves for a bit. For someone who grew up thinking she'd never get to see this place, watching my own children roam throughout MK without any crowds would truly be a dream come true.

My Disney Dream would be for me and my fiancee to get married at Disney. I have always loved going to Disney World. Before I met my fiancee i went to WDW at least 6-7 times. On our 6 year anniversary we decided to go to Disney for his first time and he loved it! The following anniversary he surprised me and we went again. What a surprise-- the night we were at the Magic Kingdom he proposed during the "Wishes" fireworks. __Wishing for My Disney Dream to come true...__

My wish would be for my mom to get to stay a night in the castle. She had never been to Disney World until a few years ago when we brought her with us for a week and she has been a disney addict ever since.

My wife and I have been coming to WDW since our wedding, April 5, 1986. We were there for 2 weeks. Since that time we have made 29 trips to WDW and have become DVC members. It has been the best investment we made! I have always told my wife I would love to renew our wedding vows in WDW on our 25th wedding anniversary (April 5, 2011). Nothing fancy or elaborate just some of our closest friends and family, helping us celebrate our magical day in the world's most magical place.

My Disney Dream and also a wish is to be able to celebrate my 16th birthday at Disney World Resort in Florida and to be able to stay at an onsite resort. I don't want something to big because I know my parents can't afford for it, so just the 4 of us and maybe 2 friends of mine and a friend for my brother so he won't feel left out. We only stayed at one resort and that was Port Orleans but it was a long time ago so i can't remember much. My birthday is going to be on a weekend so I thought it would be great, but my parents said they might not be able to take off from work. Thank You so much!

My husband and I and our 3 year old son will be coming to WDW May 11-24 2008. This has been very long and hard year for us. You see my husband has 15-20 seizures a day, he and my son have a genetic disease called neurofibromatosis, and no seizure medicine is able to cure his seizures. So, my husband is unable to work and provide for us, not to mention he hadn't missed a day of work in 7 years before his illnesses. I am graduating in May; we have some savings that we have been able to save in the past years for this trip to take my son. We will only be able to afford the Disney Value resort at the Movies. My only wish is that we could stay in the Animal Kingdom for our stay. My son loves animals!!!!! So if anyone from Walt Disney reads this please take us into consideration. Thank You!!

So now she has been shareing everything with me and my two daughters.My wife and I have been down four time includeing Christmas time this past year.That trip was to make her Disney Dream come true with staying at Wilderness Lodge. Are room made it that more special when we could go out on the balcony and watch the firworks at Magic Kingdom from there for the evening.But to see my little Stitch sleeping in Cinderall's bed would realy make my Disney Dream come true for me.We've got so many Disney memories together that we are looking forward to making some more in Augest.

I have a grandson who was a normal child until age 3 he started having seizures. He has been on every med. to control them and none seem to work. He is now turning 15 and will be seeing a new doctor that may place a device like a pace maker into the base of his brain that will shock his brain when he has a seizure. We just booked a trip to disney world for him yesterday and wil be there aug. 12 to the 18. We are taking this trip before he has this new operation.

Hi. I am going to be taking my mother and my two daughters, (ages 7 & 9) next month. We are going to be going to the Pirate and Princess Party the night of the 11th of Aug. Now I know this sounds really bad.... but.. my dream would be to have a date with Captain Jack Sparrow. Now I am not really a big Johnny Depp fan but there is just something about Jack. And I really am a pirate at heart. Of course staying the night in the castle instead of at Pop Century would be really cool too for my little princess. But the best part is that they are going to be bringing things to pass out to other children to make their trip rememberable. And I am extremely proud of them for wanting to do that.

"Year of a million dreams" but just one would make me the happiest, luckiest, grateful person on this earth! I will be going to WDW on august 27, 2007 with my 2 nieces and aunt (their first time ever me & AJ's second time, my 5th) I would do anything, just anything to surprise the girls with a stay at the castle for one night. I think if I died the day after I would say I died a happy person, because I just see things like this happenning to people all the time on TV but never,ever have we had the opportunity to win something. We are taking the girls as a gift for the first time, and this would just be magical....I think about it and hear the song "wishes" in my head. And this truly is a dream and a wish I would do anything to get.

Just getting to go to Disney World truly is a dream come true for my family. It's all magical for us. But if I had to choose one dream, I might choose having our entire family participate in a parade . . . sitting up above the crowd with Mickey or Minnie or Chip and Dale and waving to the crowd below. That would be fun and a memory we would never forget!

Dear CEO My Disney dream is to take my kids and my wife to Disneyworld. I was deployed for the second time a few weeks ago. My children, now 8, 5 and 3, have wanted to go for several years, but we have not been able to afford it. Just about the time when we thought we could maybe make some plans to go - I was deployed back to the desert. I will be taking my mid tour leave in the month of December. I would like to know what I can do to make this trip special for them and let them know how much I Love them. And to make my short time home the most of it. So, this is a dream of my children's and one I would like to experience with them. Thank You... Your Disney Soldier Tom

My Disney dream is to take my kids and my husband to Disneyworld. I was diagnosed with breast cancer one year ago and when you have a life-threatening illness that you have as part of your future - you always have that thought in the back of your mind as to how long I will be here. My kids, now 14 and 9, have wanted to go for several years, but we have not been able to afford it. Just about the time when we thought we could maybe make some plans to go - I was diagnosed with cancer and now have our medical expenses we need to pay. So, this is a dream of my children's and one I would like to experience with them.

About 23 years ago I met a boy that was ordinary. He wasn't brilliant or drop dead georgous but he had a sensative soul and a sweet smile. At first I paid him no mind but as I got to know him I realized that he was the one for me. We dated on & off for about 9 years - through high school & college. Than the day before we were taking our first trip to WDW together, he proposed. I felt as though I was on top of the world. We were married on October 10, 1993. This was the best day of my life. I found my soulmate! His love of Disney began on our first trip and we have beeen coming back annually (sometimes more!). We have 3 beautiful children and will be celebrating our 15 th Wedding Anniversary in 2008. My dream would be to renew our vows at the only place in the world that truly signifies our love and happiness.

We will be at Magic Kingdom Disney World on my daughters 21st Birthday-July 9th. This has been a difficult year for us, we lost our home when a storm dropped a tree throught our house and my father died in December. My daughter is a blessing and never ask for anything, but the wish of her heart since she was 3 or 4 has been to sleep in Cinderella's Castle. Giving to her brings me joy and happiness and I wish I could work this miracle for her, because she is definately the miracle in my life.

I, like many, have many dreams. From family happiness and pleasure, to becoming a hollywood icon. Today, my dream is going to be selflessness. I wish that for once, my family of four can go on a no-expence luxury vacation together. My little brother has dreamed of going to Disney world ever since he first saw the castle clip on Cinderella. Anything in life is possible, but making it come true, is a once in a lifetime chance.

My dream as a grandmother of five is to be able for once to take my grandchildren to disney world for a week and not have to worry about expenses. I know it is a lot to ask, but it's just that I could never do this for my kids when they were young because I was a single Mom working 2 to 3 jobs trying to raise them. They all turned out great by the way. Visiting your magic kingdom is would be a dream come true. Thank You, Juanda Smith

We are the parents of a beautiful five year old daughter, and our dream would be to be able to take her to Disneyland, (which is her dream). Unfortunately I have been diagnosed with terminal Brain Cancer and with the cost of treatment and doctor's visits, this will have to remain a dream. We visit the Disneyland website 2 or 3 times a week, so that she can see the pictures.

My Disney Dream is my mom's Disney Dream. My mom has lung cancer. Even after months of treatment, it has recently spread to her brain leaving her partially paralyzed. We don't know how long she may have, but we are determined to grant my mother's last wish. My mother's Disney Dream is being able to watch her only granddaughter as she walks up to see Cinderella's castle and be greeted by Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters...just as she was able to do with my sisters and I years ago.

My Disney dream would be to experience Disney with my family without a care for a little while. Just to absorb the beauty and happiness that Disney exudes from beginning to end! A perfect day would begin in an enchanted suite any where on Disney property. Awakening to the sights and sounds of Disney's extraordinary hotels is a vacation all on it's own! We would end our perfect day gazing at one of the fireworks displays before retiring to our room to get some rest for the next magical day. Enjoying a carefree stay for a few days has been my dream and I know it would be so good for each of us. Hats off to Disney for making dreams come true! Didn't think they could possibly make it more magical... but then again, this IS Disney!

My gift to my family is our first trip to Disney World. We will be staying at the Boardwalk from June 9-15 (my 70 year old mother, sister and two nieces (5 and 10 years of age). The girls dance team have gone every year and they have not been able to join them. they are so excited I have bought them Disney costumes to wear each day to the park. My dream would be for them to have an opportunity to stay in Cinderella's castle for a night or be in the parade. I am sure this will not be our last trip, however Grandma will not be able to be there with them.

My wish is for my 3 yr old daughter to have her dream of staying in the Cinderella Castle. She seen the commercial on tv while we were in the hospital, and made that her make-a-wish wish. Unfortunately we were informed that she would not be able to reciever her wish, that they would have to give her something else instead. My daughter has been through month after month of Chemotherapy, and was diagnosed with a rare lung cancer in september. She is fighting for her life, and is so excited about staying in the castle, I have not the heart to tell her yet that she wont be able to. She is so small and still doesnt understand the ways of business, all she would know is that some one was not nice and now she cant go to cinderella's castle. So if this message reaches some one in the Disney enterprise please help me. I dont think I can deny my baby this wish.

My Disney Dream is to be princess for a day and ride in the parades and sit on a thrown.I watched this episode of full house when Michelle becomes princess for a day and rides in a parade and has a tea party with all the Disney characters. She also gets 3 wishes to be granted. If I had 3 wishes my 1st one would be...!.to sleep in Cinderella's castle for one night,2.I want to get one free fast pass, and my 3rd one would be for me and my family to have the best time of their lives!! Thats a really big wish #3 but I want them to all come true. Also when I went in the parade I want to sit in the middle of Cinderella and Pooh Bear and get a picture and autograph from them.I really hope all these wishes come true on June 15th - June 22!!

My dream would be for all of the children in foster care in our county and their foster families to be able to experience Disney World.

My mother in law has been planning our family Disney trip for 4 years. It is finally time for us to go June 8-14. My mother in law emailed me and she is devesated! The haunted Mansion will be closed down two days prior to us getting there! It is the only ride she wanted to ride with all of her grandchildren! They have been talking about it for years! Can you make this Year of a Millions dreams possible for her? I am begging with you to make this dream come true for her. It is once in a lifetime experience for her to do this with these kids. They have spent years measuring themselves on grandma's wall to be tall enough to ride it with her! I would love to show her how the Magic of Disney can be brought to life not only for children but for grandmas too!

My son James Medoro and his wife Sharon Medoro spent their honeymoon at Disney World. This year is their 25th wedding anniversary and they are planning to celebrate this anniversary with another trip to Disney World. They will be coming to Disney World the week of June 24 - July l. Their anniversary is July 10th. I think it would be nice if some kind of special celebration could happen in the park. Perhaps they could ride in the car during one of the parades that week. They will be staying off premises but plan to be in the park most of these days. Thank you for all you can do.

I am a struggling single parent and grandmother. I have three grandchildren the oldest is five. He is the reason for this wish. Romelle Teague Jr. Has been in the custody of me and my eldest son since the age of two. He was awarded to us through the courts, because he was a victum of sexual abuse by his step father who is infected with herpes. Romelle is a wonderful intelligent child. Being surrounded by family that loves and adores him. He now has no fear of anyone hurting him. For a small child he has endured alot and is adapting well. I am a huge fan of Mickey Mouse I went to Disney in 2005. I have shown him my video's and he wants to visit the happiest place on earth, (besides our house). Can you help our wish come true? We are wishing on a star. Thanking you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, Regina L. Teague

I am trying to loss 100lbs now. I have started changing my life to be here for my kids as long as I can. I want to look my best to and feel better.

The kids will not be little forever. I want them to know you put your mind to something you can do it with hard work and determination. I would love to do the family run but my youngest child will be three then. I would like to get everyone involed that would be the big dream. If I have time to get them moving together. I dream big. I have lost maybe 10lbs. I will keep dreaming and keep working for my goals to change my life.

We have been living our Disney Dream ever since we purchased a DVC at the Beach Club. We purchased it as the "bribe" to have future family vacations with our sons and future grandchildren when they both wed. Well, no weddings yet, but there hasn't been a year that has gone by that we haven't had our family vacation! We finish one trip, and they are already making plans for the next. Even though they both live away from us, we always know that we will spend quality time together a few weeks a year. It is priceless.

Correction from the last dream, me and my boyfriend have been together for 8 years now. We haven't gotten married because ever since I could remember, I want to be married in the Cinderella castle with Mickey Mouse and Cinderella as the best man and woman. Our love is strong and beautiful. Why not have my wedding in the most magical place in the world. We can't afford it ourselves. But I have faith that anything happen. This would be an amazing day in history for us.

my disney dream is to stay in the park with my family without having to rush my day. i have been going to disneyland just about every year for about 27 years and have seen it grow, and i always keep going back. i was just there last month and in december. whenever i'm feeling down, all i have to do is go to disneyland and my spirits go up. my biggest dream is to actually stay in the park. and when i heard about the new castle suite, i went on line to see how to book it. thats the one thing i have said over and over at disneyland or disney world, wouldn't it be great if you could actually stay in the castle.

My disney dream is to have a all exspences paid trip to disney world.I've wanted to go all my life ever since i saw commercials on it.So,one day I asked my mom if we could go there and she said we don't have enough money and i ask every year but she says the same thing.I would like to go there and if the disney stars were there i would like to talk and hang out with them.Almost all of my friends have been to disneyland but,i haven't and it makes me feel left out.Every day i think about if we could get enough money to go to disney world but,i know it will never happen.All of my dreams have been crushed and this is the only dream i have left,I want this dream to come true,and as everyone knows disney land is where dreams come true. P.S.i can't spell that good because,i'm only 10yrs old so its hard to spell big words.

In my neighborhood of Church Hill you find a number of historic examples of extraordinary courage and leadership. We are the oldest community in the city of Richmond and will host arrival of the Godspeed in celebration of the 400 year anniversary of the founding of Jamestown next week. We are also home to St. John's Church where Patrick Henry made his famous speech in support of war with England and kicked off the revolution. Today, we are proud to continue this legacy as home of a wonderful after school program for neighborhood kids administered by the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club. The kids have a 2-hour homework study hall, then a nutricious meal followed by some supervised recreation until moms and dads get off work and pick them up. Each child is evaluated based on school their scholastic performance, behavioral record and participation in club work and activities. Awards are provided and those who demonstrate leadership skills become monitors for the others. Recently, an Educational Reward Incentive was created for the kids who meet their goals consistently. This year, there are around 100 kids who are eligible. Our dream is to take the kids on a 5 day bus trip to Disney -- the place where spirits are uplifted and DREAMS come true. This will be the trip of a lifetime for kids who have never even been on a vacation. Can you help us reward these hard-working students???

I have a rather large Disney Dream. If you're going to dream you might as well dream big, I allways say. I would like to go to Disney World and stay at a Disney Hotel with all of my family. Which would include my mom and dad and my brother. My husbands mom and dad, his two nephews, and Donny (he's his mom's special needs foster guy). My husband's Brother and his wife and daughter. Plus you can't forget Me and my family that consists of my husband and three boys. For a grand total of 10 adults and six kids. My husband and I got married 10 years ago come Oct, 2007 and we were rushed and just got married at the justice of the peace and never had a ceremony or anything. We've never had the whole family together before. Unfortunately one died two years ago (my husbands sister Sharon) and won't be the same without her. But still having everyone together at the best amusement parks in the world all at the same time would in fact be a great dream to have come true!

My dream is to see my friend's 2 sons be grand marshals of the parade. My friend Linda has 2 sons Chase and Brian. Chase was born with challenges. He is 5 now and still has a trache. He has loved Mickey since day 1. His bedroom is all Mickey and he has many Mickey stuffed animals. Linda and her husband were going to wait until the trache was out to go to disney but they have decided to go this October. I would love it if Chase and his brother Brian could meet Mickey and be the "grand marshal's" of the parade.

My dream is this: A family vacation to Disney World. I know this sounds rediculous, but I've been wanting this for 18 years. I've been with my husband and I am grateful to God for granting those precious moments to me that I will treasure forever, but even in spite of countless blessings I still find my heart aching for the same thing: An experience like this with my family. I hope I'm not being greedy, I just hope that my family might someday have the opportunity to make memories like these together before it's too late and that chance is gone forever.

My Disney Dream is to have annual passes again! We had annual passes from October 2005 - October 2006 and unfortunatley, because my husband's job wasn't going well (he was eventually layed off in December 2006 - but found another job a month later!) we were unable to renew them. (Ultimately I would love to have lifetime passes hee hee!) We love going to Disney...and were just able to go recently with family (including our two nephews (8 and 5) and our niece who just turned 2 who we were meeting for the first time!)for a few days it was great! We plan to go again on our daughter's birthday February 29, 2008 - it will be her 3rd LEAP birthday but she will be 12 years old and just know that we'd have the best time celebrating her special birthday at one of our very favorite places Disney World!

I have been to Disney world so many times (and i'm going again in 5 days time for 2 weeks) and i have loved every minute of it. I used to work at my local Disney store in England and i really enjoyed working there. When i got told i had got the job i cried becasue disney is my life and always will be. my email address is fanadisney_uk@hotmail.com because i am a (fan a disney) ;). the only reason i had to leave the disney store is becasue i needed more hours and they couldnt give them to me. I've tried so hard to get back into the magic but its soo difficult. My disney dream is to become a disney cast memmer in Walt Disney World and to make everybody elses wishes come true.

My Mom, brother, Grandmother, Aunt and her two kids were just at Disney World last week and won the night in the Cinderella Castle. I just cried - how lucky is that. I have been trying to get to Disney World for years and finally had a trip booked last Oct when the airline I was working for folded and my dream was gone. I recently moved across the country to Alberta Canada to become a flight attendent for WestJet, money is tight. My dream is to spend a week in Disney World, collecting snow globes, seeing all the sights, rides etc cause I am just the biggest kid at heart. I am 22 and still have my blankie. All my life all I ever wanted to do was go to Disney and everytime something alwasys came up. The first two times when I was younger my father being in the military got posted and we had to move and everytime we moved my mom would have to find a new job so the money was never there and like I said at the beginning the airline CANJET I worked for folded and I did not have a job so I could not go. Disney is my dream and has been forever. Please make my dream come true. Yours forever Stephanie

I have a friend who is a foster mom, a wonderfully charitable woman who has been "fostering" a four year old little girl. This little girl was removed from her natural home because of abuse, and Maggie (the foster mom) has been fighting to adopt the little girl. This has been going on for three years, and finally, on July 20th, the little one will be part of the family (officially.) The little girl's simple wish would be to spend quality time with Mickey Mouse. She was taken to Disneyland last year, and waited a really long time in line to see him for a few quick seconds. She actually doesn't remember the visit,and when she sees the commercials on T.V., all she talks about is meeting Mickey. As an adoption celebration that's extra special for her, Maggie would like to grant her dream to spend some time with Mickey (without the long wait in line.) Maggie wants to let this little girl know that she would do anything for her happiness, and Mickey is the little girl's "dream mouse!" Thank you for your consideration, and for reading this.

My Disney dream would be to take myself and my husband with my family (my son,daughter,sister and her two children and my 86 year old grandmother) to disney Orlando for one week and stay in the Disney Resort.

My daughter and I leave for Disney World in just 1 day. Rather than a million dreams, we have a million reasons to celebrate. My daughter had her First Communion last week, I celebrated my birtyhday the week before. We are visiting family we haven't seen for a year (they just moved down there) and friends who I haven't seen in more than a few years and who have never met my daughter. My daughter willbe five in July and begins kindergarten in the fall. 2006 was a confusing year for my daughter while my ex-wife and I were going thru divorce proceedings. While I didn't want to gloss over the reality of that, the year long plans to take this trip surely softened the sadness to a more manageable level for both of us. My ex-wife even got into the act and took my daughter to Disney on Ice for Christmas. As a single parent, I applaud The Disney Resort for being so accomodating to a single parent simply with the perks that are offered to each guest as a whole. My dream is to not get lost in the schedules and itinerarys and be able to take in all the happiness that Disney has to offer. My daughter's dream is simple, too...and even if it takes the whole vacation we are going to stand in line to get her picture taken with Ariel.

My dream would be to go to Florence, Italy. While I was in college, I took an art history class. One part of the course included a look into the art and architecture of Florence, Italy. It was then that I realized that I fell in love with Florence and would need to visit it at some point in my life. The pictures of the architecture and statues are just breathtaking. I can't even imagine what they would look like in person.

My family has been very stressed the past few years. My mom died of an anuerysm suddenly at the age of 56, and then my father passed away in December from complications after a kidney transplant. My kids lost both grandparents quickly. I have 2 beautiful kids and a great husband. we have always wanted to go to Disney World but never felt like we could afford it. We want to stay at the African Plains resort. My kids think that is the coolest. It would be nice to get away and not worry about anything for a while. That's my dream, to give my kids the vacation they've always wanted so that they lose themselves in the fun.

My Dream would be to open up Magic Kingdom on our wedding anniversary. We were down there last year and every day at the resturants there was something special for us except on our actual anniv. I used 2 of of dinner package points so that we would have a nice meal that night. I was extremely disappointed. They had stopped serving lobster 3 weeks prior to our arrival. The rest of the meal was not good either but I think because I had my mind set that I would have lobster and there was nothing for us for our anniversary. So opening the park would be a big treat this year. That would be fun for the both of us and for the kids as well.
