Give a Day, Get a Day at Disney in 2010! Get in free on your birthday in 2009!
The Mouse wants you to give back!
Answering President Barack Obama’s National Call to Service, Disney says, beginning JANUARY 1, 2010, when you sign up here to volunteer a day of service with a participating organization (and your service is completed and verified) you’ll get one day admission to a Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® theme park, FREE!
With this program, in 2010, Disney wants to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service.
The bad news is that in 2010 you won’t get into a Park for free on your birthday like you could in 2009. But hey, for those of you with birthdays coming up between now and December 31, you don’t have to give anything except your birthday to Disney to get a free day! Register here to get in free on your birthday.
Here are some other specials for when you go.
Even though I live about two hours away, and a good friend works for the Mouse and could get us in free one day, I haven’t been to Disneyland in at least 20 years–22 to be exact. Both the Big Monkey and the Small Redheaded Boy have birthdays coming up so we should change that soon! The Small Boy, 5, has never been. Guess it’s about time–this year and next! Disneyland, here we come!
Hmmm … I haven’t been to Disneyland since Grad Nite ’77 -ouch- and Alex is just turning 6 (next week). We have a party planned at the local volunteer fire hall and won’t be making the trek from Canada this year … but maybe soon! (Alexandra loves anything to do with princesses … so she’s just about ready to take on Minnie and crowd!)
Scott, when you do come down, be sure to look us up! I’m not sure if the volunteer gig works for Canucks–but maybe!
What I like about the day of service is if we all volunteer then we all get in free–whereas on the birthday one, only one person gets in free and the rest of the family pays to get in.
It is a great decision by the Disney Land to give a free days entry for those who involve in community service.
