Disney is extending its "Year of a Million Dreams" program through 2008, after granting wishes large and small to a million park visitors since the giveaways began in the fall of 2006.

Another new "dream" option at Disneyland will be nightly stays in a new family suite in the park's New Orleans Square, beginning Jan. 31. The suite was originally designed by a Hollywood setmaker commissioned by Walt Disney in the 1960s as in-park accommodations for his family, but the suite is only now being built.

Parks on both coasts have other new attractions open to all, not just dream winners, including:

• "High School Musical 2: School's Out!" interactive show, which already started at both parks.

• "Jedi Training Academy" for young Star Wars fans, underway at Disneyland and coming this month to Disney World.

• A "Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" show for preschoolers with characters from Disney Channel programs, in both parks next year.

• A new ride-game in both parks next year, "Toy Story Mania!"

• A "Block Party Bash" with characters from Toy Story, Monster's, Inc. and A Bug's Life, underway at Disneyland and starting next year at Walt Disney World. In 2008, Disneyland will also get a "Pixar Play! Parade" with characters from Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars and Ratatouille.
