Give a Day, Get a Disney Day

[Cadaverous Pallor]

In 2010, to get your free (birth)day at Disneyland you'll need to do a day of community service.

I love this idea. We're letting our APs lapse so I've entered my email for updates. Can't wait to see the organizations list.

Can you imagine the effect on volunteer organizations if all the people (or perhaps more accurately, a third of the people?) who got free birthday visits/gift cards actually did this?



The bad news is that APers kind of get the shaft on this one. FAQ

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.

And no, you can't pretend you're not an APer and give a free ticket to a friend:

Can I give the free ticket to someone else?

The ticket is non-transferable, but you can choose to donate your ticket to a non-profit organization designated by Disney Parks.

I would argue that donating your free day at DL to someone who needs it more than us would be a wonderful thing to do....but after getting a $70 gift card last year it does kind of suck.
