OVERVIEW: DISNEY’S GIVE A DAY, GET A DISNEY DAY PROGRAM

Note: Disney has met its goal of getting a million people to sign up, and thus is no longer accepting new registrants for this program.

For current Walt Disney World discounts, see this.

Disney’s “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” program provides one day of free theme park admissions (or other goodies) in return for a day of volunteer work at a pre-approved  project or event. 

For some families, this ticket will be worth more than $80 per person. 

Other families won’t be able to use the ticket itself, but can redeem their day instead for a cool special FASTPASS program that will likely limit their waiting the day that they use it.
