ERIN GLOVER OF THE DISNEY PARKS BLOG ANNOUCED TODAY! FIRST WHITE DIAMOND PRIZE PRESENTED TO DISNEYLAND DIAMOND DAYS WINNER AT DISNEYLAND DREAM SUITE #45

Earlier this month, we hosted Marguerita Fa-Kaji from Berkley, Calif. – the first recipient of one of the 1-carat white diamonds being awarded during the Disneyland Diamond Days sweepstakes! As part of her prize package, Marguerita and her family also had the opportunity to stay a night in the Disneyland Dream Suite.
 
During their stay in the Disneyland Dream Suite, Marguerita and her family enjoyed a VIP tour of Disneyland park and a special, surprise visit from Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, who presented them with an exclusive Disneyland Diamond Days display box to showcase Marguerita’s 1-carat white Disney Diamond – engraved with a “Hidden Mickey” – and personalized certificate artwork created by Disney Artist Stacia Martin.
 
 
After settling into the Disneyland Dream Suite, the family enjoyed dinner while watching “Fantasmic!” from their private balcony. Then, around 12:30 a.m., the family embarked on an after-hours tour of Disneyland park, seeing what it looks like after our guests have gone home for the day. The next morning, they had breakfast at Plaza Inn, as part of their prize package, before departing.
“Such a haven in the heart of the park,” the family wrote in the Disneyland Dream Suite Guest Book. “You have given us an experience of a lifetime.”
