Well guys I have been out of the cyber loop for a while and need to get back on track with this blog of mine. This year Disney's new celebration is all about volunteering. They are giving out 1 million tickets to the Disney parks when you sign up and complete a day of volunteer service with a participating organization. It's March and all the tickets have already been taken up. I was one of the lucky indivduals who signed up early and was able to volunteer and receive a ticket.
We signed up to volunteer through the Hands on Network and it was easy to navigate through the site to read through the list of volunteer opportunities. We picked Heifer International which is a non profit charity that helps end world hunger and poverty throughout the world. Our part in volunteering was to make posters to show what the charity represents and all the information to educate people to what they do. Here is a picture of one of our posters...
The volunteering experience was fun and educational . It felt good to be able to contribute to helping others in some way. I think this campaign Disney did this year was a meaningful one and it motivated people to want to volunteer when maybe someone normally wouldn't.
There are other options for volunteers who may have purchased tickets or hold an annual pass. They can chose from the following options.
- Disney's FASTPASS® Special Exchange Cards for certain attractions for you and up to 5 additional members of your party.
- A Special Ear Hat figurine with unique trading pins
- Donate your free ticket to one of the select non-profit organizations designated by Disney Parks:
- Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern California
- Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida
- Dreams Take Flight Canada
