Disney wants you to volunteer for free admission.
Volunteering is supposed to be a selfless act to help someone else. Well since that idea hasn't quite grabbed a foothold in Miami, Mickey Mouse has decided to sweeten the deal.
The mouse with the most is offering a free ticket to any Disney theme park for people who volunteer one day of their time in 2010. The promotion, called "Give a day, get a Disney day," was announced simultaneous in Houston, London and Miami on Tuesday.
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez helped bring in the community service initiative with Hands on Miami volunteers as they revitalized the grounds of a county-owned elderly public housing development Tuesday morning. The hope is to get one million people to volunteer.
The tickets-for-time promotion includes free admission to either Disney World in Orlando or Disneyland in California. To volunteer, you must register with Disney, which will connect you with an approved agency for the promotion.
