"Eyewitness News Reporter Lisa Hernandez is live at Disneyland with a tour of the Dream Suite and she is going to explain just who gets to stay there."
"It's unbelievable we have all the top secrets on how to get this room, it's in the park.
This is Kim Irvine, our buddy, with Walt Disney Imagneering, thank you for being with us.
She helped design what we're looking at right?"
"That's right"
"Now tell us the whole story, take an interesting walk around the room and show us exactly what this is.
I guess, randomly, people who come to the park can actually stay here overnight."
"That's exactly right, as part of our 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway, you can, almost every night, win a chance to stay IN Disneyland."
"Amazing, it's everybody's dream, because we all love the park. Twenty-six hundred square feet is it?"
"About Twenty-two hundred."
"Twenty-two hundred, It's huge anyway. Right?"
"Yes it is."
"And we're looking in the bathroom, What are we looking at here?"
"The suite was actually designed for Walt Disney while he was still alive.
He wanted, while we were building New Orleans Square, he wanted to have a place in New Orleans where he could entertain people.
The suite was designed for him but never completed, of course, because he passed away before it could be. So we have taken those renderings that he had done, and actually completed it FOR him. So it's Walt's Dream come true as well."
"Very nice."
This room is the master bedroom. It was designed, each room has a little bit of the theme of one of the lands at Disneyland and this one is right of off Adventureland. If you look through those windows you will actually see the Jungle Cruise out those windows."
"Oh my goodness!"
You can hear the birds and animals from the Jungle Cruise so we designed this in kind of a Victorian Exotic style, with the leafy carpets and the kind of mosquito netting on the bed and...
"It's gorgeous Kim."
"Thank you"
"You did a great job. We're walking and Edgar's walking backwards, good job buddy, as we head into the parlor is it?"
"This is the parlor, yes..."
"O.K."
"...the formal setting parlor."
"For the folks watching at home, you can actually win a chance to stay overnight at Disneyland inside this amazing apartment inside the park, they pick you randomly, you have a chance to bring five guests to stay overnight. Edgar pan away. It's beautiful, I mean the chandelier here, you got the fake fireplace over there very nice."
The fireplace, Actually this room was designed in more of a New Orleans style, kind of French Provincial because you enter into it right out of New Orleans, and most of the decorating is done as inspirations that Walt might have had to build different things at Disneyland. For instance, these hand painted murals on the walls are the two castles in Europe that the Disney designers originally 'kluged' together to make our Sleeping Beauty Castle, you can see elements in them of that. And there's also magical things that happen in this suite, aside from just being beautiful and elegant and having al kind of wonderful things to look at, there are magical moments that occur. In this particular room several times a day magical things happen between this grandfather clock on the wall and other things in the room."
"O.K. Kim Irvine of Walt Disney Imagineering thanks for being with us."
"You're welcome!"
"Awesome job with this suite. Here's the deal folks. This starts January 31st. Randomly picked people who come to the park, one person each night, most days of the year for 2008 you get to spend the night and then you're the Grand Marshall in the Disneyland Parade the next day! It's like Christmas every day here at Disneyland. By the way Disney is the parent company of ABC 7. We're live from Disneyland, lucky girl this morning, I'm Lisa Hernandez, ABC 7 Eyewitness News. Back to you in the studio."
"That just keeps getting better. Magical things happen in the room."
"I know!"
"Grand Marshall"
"Yep."
"Alright, thank you Lisa."
