Frugal Travel Alert: FREE DAY AT DISNEY!

Posted on September 30, 2009 | Leave a comment

Disney Mickey

Give a Day. Get a Disney Day.

 I love this!  Hands On Volunteer Network  and Disney Parks are partnering to recognize community volunteers by giving them a FREE One-day ticket to a Disney theme park!

If you are not already plugged into regular service for your community, this is a great way to start.  You and your family will be blessed beyond the one-day ticket to Disney, I promise!

How does it work? 
BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2010, when you sign up  to volunteer a day of service with a participating organization, you’ll get one day admission to a Walt Disney World Resort® in Lake Buena Vista, Florida or Disneyland Resort® in Anaheim, California theme park, FREE!     

3 Steps to qualify for your ticket:

  1. Search and sign up for a volunteer opportunity from a participating organization (beginning January 1, 2010, sign up here).
  2. Complete your service for the volunteer opportunity you selected.
  3. Celebrate :)  Once your service is verified, receive a voucher to redeem your Disney theme park ticket!

Where do I get more details and sign up?
Go to www.disneyparks.com, follow the links to search for volunteer opportunities made available through Hands On Volunteer Network, and sign up for a day of volunteer service (beginning January 1). Many of the opportunities will be projects that entire families can participate in together!  As the nation’s largest volunteer network, you’ll have lots of service choices through the Hands On Network which connects volunteers to more than 70,000 nonprofit agencies across the country.

Though the offer from Disney doesn’t begin until January 201o, you don’t have to wait until then to serve.  There are service needs all around you…check with your local food pantry, church, Meals on Wheels, etc.  There are plenty of ways to get plugged in!

Enjoy!  :)

WEEKEND FUN OPTION #2:
Plan a Trip to Your Local Farmers’ Market  

Farmers Market

Over the last few weeks, I have reviewed a few of our area’s farmers’ markets that specialize in selling locally grown produce.  These markets sell a variety of other treats, too…you can score fresh bread, goat milk cheese, fresh roasted coffee beans, hot tamales and homemade soap…all locally made. Pick one to attend Saturday morning and fill your frig with fresh produce goodness.
