Granted some people would volunteer no matter where they worked it just seems at Disney they take it to another level.

I don't usually post links to other sites but the negative post about how Disney doesn't really help just irked me.
On top of the local volunteering they promote and the other charitable donations they do, they are also stepping up to help with the Relief efforts for Japan.
Now tell me it's not impressive. :fork:

Funny story about that. We kind of overwhelmed Red Cross' online donation system. It suddenly was receiving so much traffic originating from the Disney network that it tripped the Red Cross' fraud detection software and shut down the Disney donation page. Thankfully, it's been fixed (as far as I know). Kind of proud of that, to be honest.

Not poo poo- "put into perspective."
I've also read how Disney has taken great lengths to get any International CMs out of Japan with no penalty in terms of their contracts, and at no expense to the CMs either. Stepping up all the way around....
Besides a $2.5 million donation Disney has made to the relief efforts in Japan, they are also matching CM contributions up to another $1 million on top of what they already gave.
International CM's at Tokyo Disneyland have also been given the opportunity to take a round-trip flight back to their home while the parks are closed. And yes, Disney is paying for their tickets.

Some people.....?!!!
Some people are NEVER satisfied regardless of the effort or desire to help and volunteer (both money and/or time). God bless those who do give of themselves and let's not berate the efforts of those that do! :brick:

I have said so before and will say so again.
I have spoken to a lot of CM's at both WDW and DL. And in my conversations with them have been truly Thankful for not only what they do for us here at the theme parks, but what they do behind the scenes to help others in the community and in the world.
So, I will say again. Thank You Disney CM's and the Disney company itself for all you do to make our vacations enjoyable,to help our communities here in the USA and help the various organizations around the world that help during disasters like in Japan.
YOU ARE THE BEST!
A personal Thank You from PalisadesPkteer.

That is freaking awesome! Does the same rules follow for the girls and men working at the Japan Pavilion? Are they allowed to go home to check on their families or they're staying put for now? Thanks for the great news though about matching cm donations!

People just don't realise how much they actually do. Good job to those who helped out with things. :sohappy:
