For everyone who has ever dreamed of becoming fairy-tale royalty and dwelling in an enchanted castle -- even if only for a night -- the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort is about to become a bit more magical. Those prince and princess dreams will come true -- for one lucky family every night throughout Year of a Million Dreams*. An exquisite fairy-tale suite is being prepared inside Cinderella Castle at the heart of the Magic Kingdom Park. What will lucky winners of a night in the castle find inside? The Insider wanted to find out, so we went to the source, Imagineer Stephen Silvestri, who has been working night and day (quite literally!) to help create a suite that's truly the stuff dreams are made of.

ASK DAVE
YOUR QUESTION
I was thinking about all the cool innovative stuff Disney has made for shows, movies, theme park rides and attractions. I was wondering if Disney holds any patents?
- Aaron, 31, Raleigh, NC
DAVE'S ANSWER
Yes, through the years Disney has obtained many patents, including such innovations as the multiplane camera, which first gave depth to animation; Audio-Animatronics, the robotic figures in our Parks; and various versions of ride vehicles.
The Magic Kingdom® Park has three ATMs: under the Main Street train station, near the Frontierland Shooting Arcade, and at the Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. arcade near Space Mountain®. You can exchange most foreign currency at City Hall.
