This is a very generous offer by Disney! You do your volunteer work locally. The program's called "Give a Day. Get a Disney Day."

We want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service.

Nice post Kay.
It does not say it in that article, but I wonder if transportation to Disneyland is included in the package?

I would think that would be overly hopeful, but who knows! Maybe it mentions that during the sign up.

Thanks Kay. :)

It's nice to see Disney giving something back. Volunteers are real unsung heroes. I used to volunteer and any kind of acknowledgement was very rare. Lucky I didn't do it for that! :)

I saw an ad for this on Hulu last night. Disney will do well from the business too I bet. They get pats on the back for offering this and people will still spend money while they are there, right? Souvenirs, food etc.

True. That's money you would spend anyway for the entry fee though. The entry fees aren't cheap.

I think it's commendable whatever way you look at it. Nice move, Disney! Maybe more companies will start valuing volunteers as well. :)
