Year of a Million More Dreams
Disney officially announced the extension of the Year of a Million Dreams program yesterday, and the company's publicity machine immediate went into overdrive to spread the word. In addition to the national announcement on Good Morning America, the marketing blitz included a barrage of press releases from the participating Disney Parks and Resorts, publication of an online Dream Catalogue, and new television commercials featuring some of the new prizes that can be won starting in 2008.

family and guests. Disney archive photo.
All of this hype should help Disney overcome a big challenge faced during the first year of the promotion: park visitors don't exactly understand it. Disney has a delicate task managing guest expectations with regards to this contest—the company needs to generate enough hype that people will book trips during the Year of a Million Dreams, but at the same time they don't want to create a situation where those same visitors are too disappointed when they don't receive a visit from the Dream Squad during their trip.
It can be argued that Disney erred too far on the side of caution during the first phase of the promotion. To most park visitors, the "Year of a Million Dreams" is a marketing slogan splashed across banners and T-shirts, not a promotion that might actually involve them. Twelve months after the giveaways began, Dream Squad cast members still routinely have to explain the promotion and assure winners that there is no "catch" to their prize.
This time around, Disney has produced a slick online Dream Catalog (link) to show off some of the major new prizes to be awarded in 2008. The full spectrum of prizes is still detailed in excruciating legal detail in the Official Rules (link), but the Dream Catalog gives potential visitors something to well, dream about.

renderings. Disney photo.
The new prizes are pretty spiffy, too. As expected, Disneyland will offer overnight stays in the new Disneyland Dream Suite. This suite of rooms in New Orleans Square was originally planned as a private apartment for Walt Disney, but was never used for that purpose. For the last 20 years the space has housed the Disney Gallery. Imagineers are now working to convert the space into a two-bedroom, two-bath guest suite, using the original 1960s designs created by designed Dorothea Redmond and set decorator Emile Kuri in consultation with Walt Disney. Perhaps to address the concerns of those upset by the Disney Gallery closure, Disney is quick to point out that the Dream Suite will now be used for overnight guests, just as Walt Disney intended. Walt Disney Imagineering Art Director Kim Irvine says that the suite will "be filled with things that might have inspired Walt as he dreamed of Disneyland." Each of the bedrooms will feature a special nighttime lighting effect, activated at the push of a button. This "goodnight kiss" also includes effects that are quite frankly so charming that we don't want to spoil the surprise for the first winners.
Disney is planning to award 266 one-night stays in the Disneyland Dream Suite during 2008. Winners will also receive a gift basket, VIP viewing for the parade, and dinner at a Disneyland Resort restaurant. The winners also receive VIP viewing for either fireworks and/or Fantasmic!, but who would want to pass up the view from the Disneyland Dream Suite balcony? Winners are not confined to their suite after Disneyland closes—a concierge will be on hand at all times to arrange for special after-hours excursions into the theme park if desired. Once the Disneyland Dream Suite is open, the Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Hotel will be returned to regular (if pricey) service as a guest suite.

new prize in the Year of a Million Dreams. Disney photo.
Many of the prizes are one-of-a-kind opportunities. Disney Cruise Line will offer one lucky winner the opportunity to have Castaway Cay all to themselves for a day. According to the DCL press release, "everything on the island will be at their disposal—private meet and greets with Disney characters, an opportunity to parasail over the island, gourmet lunch prepared on the beach, kayaking excursion through the mangroves, beachside cabana massage, snorkeling with tropical marine life—everything and anything a normal guest could experience on Castaway Cay with a few special surprises tossed in. And, it's all arranged exclusively for the winner and their guests!"
The winner of the Character Breakfasts Extraordinaire prize will get to dine right on Walt Disney World's Main Street U.S.A. with at least 25 Disney Characters. For Disneyland fans, the Sorcerer's Apprentice for a Day prize is a dream come true. The lucky winner of this vacation package will get to tour the Walt Disney Imagineering offices in Glendale, and take a backstage tour of Disneyland with an Imagineer. Other one-time-only prizes include hot air balloon rides above Walt Disney World or Disneyland, a trip to the premiere of High School Musical 3, and holiday-theme trips for Halloween, Christmas and New Year's Eve. The $13 million prize assortment also includes VIP seating opportunities for parades and fireworks, admission to "Dream Time" events at the Disney theme parks, character meet and greet opportunities and shopping sprees. And of course, the Dream Ears, Lanyards and Fastpasses will return.
The expanded Year of a Million Dreams promotion will run January 1, 2008
through December 31, 2008. Mail-in entries will be accepted starting December
19, 2007. Disney has simplified the requirements for mail-in entries and will
now accept entries by mail from Australians—see the official rules for details.
Discrimination or misunderstanding?
A San Diego man claims that Disneyland Resort security detained, searched and questioned him in full view of other resort visitors two weeks ago, targeting him because he was holding hands with another man. A Disneyland spokesperson says that the entire thing was a misunderstanding, and denies that the situation had anything to do with sexual orientation. With the annual Gay Days at Disneyland scheduled for this weekend, many are asking if Disney is really discriminating against gays, or if this was just a major overreaction by Disney's security department?
There seems to be little disagreement about what happened. According to a report published by The Advocate magazine ("An Antigay Incident at Disneyland?") Wil Kenney was walking with friends through Downtown Disney on September 22 when he was approached by Disney security. Security claimed to have received a report that Kenney threatened someone with a gun. Kenney denied having a gun, and Disney security detained him while Anaheim police department officers were summoned to search him. Finding no weapon, Anaheim PD left the scene, after which Kenney demanded to speak with a Disneyland Resort security manager. Anaheim police department spokesperson Rick Martinez confirmed that Kenney was "detained" and "might have been frisked."
While the "what" seems pretty straightforward, the "why" is much less obvious. Kenney claims that a Disney cast member called security because they were offended that he was holding hands with another man. Disneyland spokesperson Rob Doughty told The Advocate that Kenney made a hand gesture that a Disney Cast Member interpreted as threatening, specifically that Kenney made his hand "look like a gun." Kenney and companions deny this claim. According to Kenney, the Disneyland Resort security manager could or would not tell him what specific report had been made about him, alternately telling Kenney that the cast member "was threatened, felt threatened, or was offended." Kenney also claims that the security manager refused to apologize for the actions of her department, and also that plainclothes security officers continued to follow his group through Downtown Disney.
Kenney claims discrimination, Disney claims misunderstanding. Either way, Disney doesn't look good, but it's easier to believe that Disney security overreacted than to believe that the company is actively targeting gays. Disney is known as a very inclusive employer, and there are in fact openly gay members of the Disneyland security department. Disney has recently expanded their Fairy Tale Weddings offerings to include gay couples, and next weekend's Gays Days event at Disneyland is sponsored in part by Pride, a Disney employee group for gay and lesbian cast members.

...MousePlanet staff member Lisa Perkis reported that a Toy Story zoetrope is now on display inside the Animation Building in Disney's California Adventure. MousePlanet staff member Stephanie Wien saw the installation as part of the Pixar: 20 Years of Animation exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York last year, and described it in her trip report:
"The Zoetrope was made up of Toy Story characters, including Army Men parachuting from the top and Wheezy jumping on seesaw. The illusion of movement is suspended at one point during the presentation by turning off the strobe effect, so that the viewer can see what's 'behind the curtain.' "
