do special stuff, like ride on a float in a parade, or open the MK in the morning?

For the most part, just being in the right place at the right time, although sometimes they are chosen by other means..like if you KNOW somebody or I would think some of the Make-A-Wish & other foundations would allow for some of their kids to be chosen with their connections.

Aly was chosen to "open" Once Upon A Toy on our trip in Dec, 2002. She was the first child to walk by. There were a group of 4 adults waiting at the door at opening time and the CM said that only a child could open the store, and there's one now! She turned a key and flipped a switch inside the store (we had to go in in the dark--not completely dark) and the switch turned on the lights and the music and the train, etc.
