Volunteer and Get Ticket to Happiest Place on Earth

In 2010, Disney is offering a free day's admission to 1 million guests who complete a day of volunteer work. They're calling it, "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program and will provide certified volunteers with a one-day ticket to any park at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., or Walt Disney World near Orlando, Fla. A spokesperson for Disney says the promotion "very timely," because of the growing needs of nonprofits in the weak economy, as well as President Obama's national volunteering initiative. The progrom is being done with the HandsOn Network, which has 70,000 affiliated agencies, from Habitat for Humanity to local food banks, churches, health care centers, and educational programs. Once a day of volunteering has been fulfilled, a certificate will be given to for admission into one of the parks. For volunteers who already have multi-day tickets or annual passes, they can get a special FASTPASS for up to six people in lieu of the voucher. It looks like Disney is looking to spread their magic outside of their park.
