Disney's 2010 Promotion - Give a Day, Get a Disney Day

Didn't see this posted on here yet--did a quick search. If it's been mentioned, I apologize!

Orlando Attractions Magazine just posted a link on Facebook to a new website promoting Disney's 2010 Promotion called "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day". The website doesn't list too much information yet, but it looks like some sort of volunteering thing, and it's sponsered by Southwest Airlines.

Touringplans has a commercial with the Muppets and Taye Diggs already posted.

They claim there may have been an announcement on GMA this morning, but I am nowhere near a TV.

There was an announcement on GMA about giving a day to volunteer and getting a free ticket, but I cant find the link on GMA's website, I just googled it and our forum was the first link that popped up... Will check back later...

Interesting...

I was just reading the FAQs and came across this...

If I have a valid multi-day ticket or Annual Pass or Passport , is there anything else that I can receive?

Guests who present a valid multi-day ticket or Annual Pass or Passport may choose from one of the following three options instead of receiving the free 1-day, 1-park ticket:

• Disney's Special FASTPASS® cards for certain attractions for you and up to 5 additional members of your party.†
• A collectible Ear Hat figurine with exclusive trading pins‡
• Donate your free ticket to a non-profit organization designated by Disney Parks.

Saw it this morning on GMA. It was shortly after 8. I missed the beginning of GMA this morning but apparently they are at a school in Chicago where they made the announcement. The segment was probably 2 minutes long with Jay making the announcement. They keep going back to the school throughout the show giving info on how you can volunteer, links on the website, the Jammitors were there, etc...

I was hoping for a gift card, but those options aren't too bad. I love the inclusion of the Muppets in this!

Already signed up for the email updates, hopefully they will have something in my area to volunteer for.

I just checked out Volunteer Canada and the closest centre to Newfoundland is New Brunswick! Why couldn't they pick an organization that is right across Canada!?! I hate being left out of everything! But this time I'm not the only one... Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are also left out! This is not fair Disney... it's not open to all residents of Canada - you've left three provinces out!!! :fork:

I'm interested to see what the collectible figure looks like.

I think this is a great promotion; I will look to enlist.
I love that they are using the Muppets for this

I have a feeling this is just "a" promotion for 2010, not "the" promotion. But I think this is awesome of Disney and great for them! I love the idea of getting people out there!

Very interesting news here. Yes, it's great the Muppets are a part of this, but thealternate options are kind of 'meh'....

Yes, it would be odd to see this become a yearly theme. Why a yearly theme anyway? :dazzle:

I loooove the Jammitors!!!!

And apparently it takes about 2 weeks to get your volunteer service confirmation so even if we volunteered on January 1st it's unlikely we'd have our confirmation in time to use it. Bummer.

It looks to me like the theme is still "Celebrate Today" but they are offering this instead of the birthday promotion.

The commercial was first on around 12:40am EDT last night actually - http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showpost.php?p=3770613&postcount=73

Lovin' the Muppet connection (obviously)! Just signed up for the update emails. Will probably take the FPs and collectibles if my whole family volunteers.

That's a thought. Wow. I didn't even think of that. Get rid of the birthday thing. I guess because people caught on they are only saving a couple of dollars on a 5 day vacation for ONE PERSON. Good point, Cali!

Hope they still do the gift cards or FPs in lieu of the day for us APs.
