'Give a Day, Get a Disney Day'

Disney is offering a free admission ticket to the first one million people who volunteer for a day.

The "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program will provide qualified volunteers with a one-day ticket to any park at Disney World or Disneyland. Slated to launch on January 1, 2010, the program will run until all tickets are accounted for or until December 15, 2010, whichever comes first.

To be eligible for a free ticket, a volunteer must:

-- Register online with Disney
-- Be at least 18 years or older
-- Be a resident of the United States, Canada, or Puerto Rico
-- Perform volunteer work in 2010

It's one ticket per person, regardless of the number or hours of volunteer service completed. Up to a maximum of 8 additional members of your same household may register. Volunteer work done by children ages 6-17 qualifies for a free ticket as long as kids are accompanied by an adult or guardian when volunteering.

Tickets must be redeemed by December 15, 2010.

Volunteer opportunities are coordinated through the HandsOn Network. For more information and to sign up for E-Mail updates, go to http://www.handsonnetwork.org/disney. Volunteer assignments are within your community, not at a Disney theme park.

The "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" program will replace Disney’s free admission on your birthday program, which granted a free ticket for any guest who visited the theme park on their birthday. That campaign is slated to end on December 31, 2009.
