2010 Disney theme announced– Give a Day, Get a Disney Day!

Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. This is the new theme for 2010 at Disney Parks.

Disney wants to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service to a participating organization in their communities. As a reward, Disney will give each of the volunteers one-day admission to a Theme Park at the Disneyland® Resort or the Walt Disney World® Resort, free.*

If you purchase a package with multi-day tickets or have an Annual Pass, you can still participate in this offer.  You will simply sign up for “Give a Day. Get a Disney Day.” and complete the volunteer activity.  Then you’ll be able to choose one of the following options instead of receiving the one-day admission to a Theme Park:

  • Disney’s Special FASTPASS® card for certain attractions for you and up to five additional members of your party+
  • A collectible Ear Hat figurine with exclusive trading pins**
  • Donate your ticket to a non-profit organization designated by Disney Parks

* Must pre-register and sign up for eligible volunteer opportunity at disneyparks.com. Ticket quantities for this program are limited. Must be at least age 6 to participate. Other terms and conditions apply. See disneyparks.com for details.
+ Participating attractions are subject to change. Valid Theme Park admission required. The number of Special FASTPASS® Cards is limited and may not be available after 11 a.m. All Guests in your party must be present to receive the Special FASTPASS® Cards.
** Available at select locations.
Valid ID and a valid Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® multi-day ticket along with the voucher will be required at the time of redemption. No cash refunds or credits will be provided to multi-day ticket holders who volunteer under the “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day.” program and choose not to redeem their voucher for a one-day admission ticket or exchange it for one of the three options.
