“A dream is a wish your hearts makes. . . when you are fast
asleep” but I have been dreaming, Disney dreaming that is, while wide
awake. And because of that, there are
some “wishes” for our upcoming trip:
Wish #1: That we get
selected, randomly or otherwise, to test MagicBands and Fastpass +. I have logged into My Disney Experience
on-line and our plans are there, but nothing indicating MagicBands or Fastpass
+. I do have the app on a mobile device
and next will be to put it on my new Smartphone (yes, I went there!).
MagicBands are bracelets worn by guests that incorporate the
latest in RFiD technology and include all information such as tickets, dining,
Fastpasses, etc. all with the touch or tap of the bracelet. Fastpass+ is the ability to pre-select
various Fastpass attractions and experiences prior to arriving at the parks and
have the information electronically loaded into MagicBands. Planners will love Fastpass + as it allows
guests to preselect times for attractions, etc.
I got wind of an internet rumor that guests at Coronado
Springs were being selected for the MagicBand trials. Pick me, pick me! Sign us up!
I will be looking for Cast Members with iPads at Disney’s Magical
Express at the airport as well as in the registration area of the resort.
Wish #2: That the
Limited Time Magic theme for our stay, which has yet to be announced, is Long
Lost Friends. Limited Time Magic is the
year long Disney theme for 2013 featuring various themed events and
celebrations throughout the year, each for a limited time. The Long Lost Friends theme has shown up
twice yet so far this year and we would love to see it again as it features
unusual and not often found characters.
This wish is for the husband as he would love to meet the Big Bad
Wolf.
We do know that there will be a Summer Beach Party happening
at Typhoon Lagoon, Lone Ranger merchandise will be available, and Mike and
Sully will be providing our wake-up calls during our stay, all a part of
various Limited Time Magic themes and celebrations.
Wish #3: This one is
for the boy, who along with his mother, would love to somehow obtain a visit to
or stay at Cinderella’s Castle Suite. I
asked on a message board site if guests are still being randomly selected for
this privilege, similar to Year of a Million Dreams, and most replies indicated
no, as a stay was being used for prizes for various contests or the Make a Wish
Foundation. There was one hopeful reply
to my message and it said that after reading our blog, if anyone could make a
stay in the Castle Suite happen, we could!
One never knows what sort of magic and surprises we have in
store for us during our upcoming trip to the most magical place on earth. All I know is that we are up for it. . .
whatever it is! Our rule: Say “yes.”
