During a huge "Celebrate Volunteers" event at Walt Disney World last month, Disney Parks and Resorts announced that over 600,000 people had volunteered or signed up to volunteer during the first six weeks of the “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” program, Disney's 2010 marketing campaign that had the stated goal of encouraging one million people to participate in volunteer events in their community. That number has now reportedly climbed to over 700,000, and MousePlanet reader Sharon Flummerfelt alerted us last week that the program might be ending even earlier than many expected.
Late Wednesday night, the HandsOn Network sent an e-mail to volunteer organizations who are participating in the Give a Day, Get a Disney Day program, advising those groups that "the Give A Day. Get A Disney Day program is forecasted to come to a close very shortly." After MousePlanet contacted the Disneyland Resort for comment, the Resort issued a statement that read "We are close to our goal of inspiring one million people to make a difference by volunteering. This spirit of volunteerism is making a significant impact in communities across the country." A spokesperson would not confirm whether the program is concluding once the million-volunteer goal is reached, and could not comment on how many vouchers have been redeemed.
The HandsOn Network e-mail lists steps that organizations need to take to "wind down" the program, and includes several points of interest to potential volunteers:
This announcement came as a surprise to many of the participating organizations, who had just two days notice about the changes to the program. The HandsOn Network maintains a discussion board where volunteer organizations can ask HandsOn Network representatives for help with the program (link), and the recent postings show that many groups are confused and upset by the news. Several members worry that their organizations will be unable to attract as many volunteers for events scheduled later in the year, and complain that the program unfairly favored winter and spring events. Since groups can only post events 60 days in advance, organizations who had planned summer beach clean-ups and fall festivals will likely be unable to list their events before the million-volunteer mark is reached.
The early end to the program also presents a challenge for Disney Parks and Resorts, which now gets to deal with having this year's national marketing campaign cut short. (A source speculates that Disney decided not to call the 2010 program "the year to volunteer," fearing it would have to scramble to find a way continue the program without giving out any more tickets if the promotion was more popular than expected. If so, whomever was responsible for that decision is probably breathing a huge sigh of relief right now). Disney will likely continue those in-park promotions which recognize and "celebrate" people who are redeeming their volunteer certificates, but return to the "What Will You Celebrate" marketing theme for national advertising. Expect "Summer Nightastic!" and "World of Color" campaigns to dominate local advertising for Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and potentially even an early roll-out of Walt Disney World's 40th Anniversary celebration.
The pending end of the program has left many current and potential volunteers confused about their status, so here is a bit of information that may help answer your questions and hopefully alleviate your concerns. First, the basics: While Disney has said that the goal is to inspired one million people to volunteer, information we've received from local charities indicates that Disney is basing that count on the number of people who have registered through the Disney Web site for projects, not the number who actually completed the projects. These groups expect that Disney will "end" the program (close it to new volunteers) once one million people have registered for events.
I've already completed my volunteer service and received my voucher:
- If you have already completed your volunteer service and have received your confirmation and voucher, you are already "counted." Your voucher is still valid through December 15, 2010 (subject to Resort-specific blockout dates).
I've already completed my volunteer service but have not received my voucher:
- If you registered through the Disney Web site and have already completed your volunteer service, you have already been counted, and your voucher should be issued within two weeks of your event. Once received, your voucher is still valid through December 15, 2010 (subject to Resort-specific blockout dates).
- If it's been more than two weeks since you completed your service, the Disney Web site provides the following advice: "If you have not received any communication or seen the status of your volunteer activity change after 2 weeks, please contact the Guest Support Team for assistance. Please keep in mind that if you signed up for the program as part of a household, verification emails are sent to the lead volunteer."
I've already signed up, but I haven't completed my volunteer service:
- If you have already registered through the Disney Web site for a date-and-time specific opportunity, you have already been "counted." You will receive a voucher once your service is completed and has been verified by the sponsoring organization, EVEN IF Disney announces an "end" to the program before your event date. Once issued, your voucher will still be valid through December 15, 2010 (subject to Resort-specific blockout dates).
- If you contacted a participating organization through the Disney Web site to schedule a volunteer opportunity and received an e-mail from the HandsOn Network with a link to sign up, you can still use the link contained in that e-mail to register for your selected opportunity until the program ends. You are not "counted" until you complete that registration process. If you have lost that e-mail, you will need to contact the organization directly for assistance. If you can no longer volunteer for that specific opportunity, you may be able to reschedule for another opportunity with the same organization before the program ends - again, contact them directly for assistance.
- If you contacted a participating organization through the Disney Web site to schedule a volunteer opportunity but never received a reply, you have NOT been "counted." You can either contact the organization again, or register for another opportunity in your area before the program ends to be eligible.
I haven't signed up yet:
- If you haven't already scheduled your volunteer service, this is the time to do it. The HandsOn Network site currently lists opportunities for the next 60 days, so be sure to get registered before the program ends. You must make sure that you properly register for your chosen event through the Disney Web site (link). If you just show up at an event without pre-registration, the group can not confirm your participation and you will not receive a voucher.
Songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman will be honored with a tribute window on Disneyland's Main Street U.S.A. in a private ceremony this week. The Sherman Brothers wrote the score for The Parent Trap in 1961, and were tapped by Walt Disney to create the theme for "it's a small world" for the 1964 World's Fair. The duo went on to compose dozens of songs for Disney films, theme park attractions and parades, including the score for Mary Poppins, the theme "Miracles from Molecules" for Disneyland's Adventure Thru Inner Space, "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room" for Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, and "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" for the Carousel of Progress. Music from the Academy Award-winning pair can be heard in every Disney Resort around the world.
David Koening writes in his MousePlanet Blog (link):
The waterway that connects Disneyland's Jungle Cruise to the Castle Moat has been tarped over again, hopefully to alleviate the construction "improvements" that destroyed the once-rustic riverbanks.
Originally, the inlet was drained and cleaned, then construction crews built a new guest-proof bridge at the entrance of Frontierland. While the river was dry, it was given a fresh coat of concrete. Unfortunately, to the dismay of WDI's show quality control team, the waterway now resembles a swimming pool.
"The contractor that was hired to do the work did put a fresh coat of concrete, and created new sides and a lip," confirmed a cast member. "It totally looks like an artificial canal and not a river cutting through the entrance of Adventureland and Frontierland."
Let's hope the second time's the charm.

Meanwhile, work continues in the Rivers of America throughout the unusually wet and rainy spring. Repainting projects in Critter Country and Toontown have wrapped up, and it's good to see the buildings of Toontown's "restaurant row" sporting bright, colorful exteriors.

The debut of the Silly Symphony Swings has been postponed to May 29, and work continues on both that attraction and the scheduled refurbishment of the Golden Zephry. The S. S. Rustworthy was scheduled to be closed for "skidmark" resurfacing, but it appears that Disney instead just decided to close off a portion of the grounds around the boat, and one of the "squirting surfboards," which haven't worked properly in years, is missing.

The rails in the viewing area for the World of Color were being painted last week, and it looks as if the planters are almost ready for the horticulture department to work their magic. The water in the Lagoon has been tinted green, the better to conceal the maze of pipes that feed the World of Color platform.

More track is being installed for the Radiator Springs Racers, but there's still no sign of any vertical construction in Cars Land. It looks like more of the foundations have been poured behind the Little Mermaid construction walls.

...Registration for the May 22–23 Advanced and May 23 Basic divisions of our MouseAdventure Anniversary event open on Tuesday, March 16 at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific). Registration for the June 6 Day at the Park division opens at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific) on Tuesday, March 30. Additional details about format and pricing will be sent later today to readers who have subscribed to our MouseAdventure Newsletter (link), and will be available on the MouseAdventure event page Tuesday (link).
...The Orange County Register reported last week that a portion of Harbor Blvd. will close starting March 15th for a $900,000 renovation project (link). Traffic on the 1.3 mile stretch between Garden Grove Blvd. and Chapman Ave. will be reduced to one lane during the construction, which is scheduled to end in June. The construction, which includes a portion of the Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) Route 1, will impact traffic for visitors staying at the Anaheim Marriott Suites, Homewood Suites, Crowne Plaza Resort Hotel and the Sheraton Garden Grove.
The West entrance to the World of Disney store is now without a major set piece. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
...Since it first opened, the World of Disney store has made a few major changes to the shop's distinctive decor - usually by way of simply removing some of the large set pieces. The large Alice in Wonderland plush display vanished several years ago, as have many of the large props that hung from the store's ceiling when it opened in 2001. Other set pieces have been replaced, and the West entrance has seen several different themes over the years. Most recently, the front entrance sported a replica of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and the structural pole in the center of the room boasted an elaborate treehouse for Mickey's nephews. The clubhouse and treehouse are both gone now, and a cast member tells us that an earlier plan to return the large flying Dumbo figure has been scrapped in favor. Instead, the World of Disney store is going to borrow a page from the Disney Store chain, and reduce the amount of decor "clutter" in the stores.
...Disney-branded Dooney & Bourke handbags are now available at Disney Vault 28. The line was launched at Walt Disney World earlier this year.
...Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre announced last week that it has extended Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND through April 20. The theater features props and set pieces from the actual film. Tickets are available online (link), or by calling 1-800-DISNEY6.
...Visitors planning trips to the Disneyland Resort should make a point to check the Current Refurbishment/Attraction Closures section each week for the most recent updates. The Disneyland Resort Web site currently only publishes refurbishment information about six weeks in advance. Be sure to check the most recent Park Update (link) for the latest changes, as MousePlanet does not edit past Park Updates to reflect changes.

Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!
This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts.
If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line (link).

Four Day Park Hopper - Regularly $229/$199 |
Promotional 4-Day Park Hopper Bonus Ticket ($161) – A discounted price for advance purchase through the Disneyland Web site (link). The promotional Park Hopper ticket is valid January 5, 2010 thru April 29, 2010, and must be purchased in advance of your trip - you can't get this discount at the ticket booths. "Bonus Tickets" include one early admission day (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday). Costco 4-Day Park Hopper Ticket ($159.95) – A special offer for Costco members who are also residents of Southern California (link). Unlike some recent offers, this ticket has no "fuse" - you can use the first admission today, and have almost a full year to use the remaining admission days before the ticket expires on August 23, 2010. The ticket is blocked out the week between Christmas and New Years (inclusive of both holidays), and for the week of March 26 to April 4, which gives you an idea of what Disneyland expects to be the peak Spring Break period. The ticket is not blocked out on any other holidays - including Labor Day, Thanksgiving or even the 4th of July - and can be upgraded to any Annual Passport except the SoCal Select pass. The Costco Web site states in three different places—including a bold, bright red headline—that visitors "Must reside within ZIP codes 90000-93599" and that "Proof of residency required upon redemption." The ticket you purchase at Costco is a valid admission ticket, and you can take it directly to a main entrance gate to use it. We've been told that, to prevent the unauthorized "transfer" of tickets between visitors (ie, you use the first two days of the ticket and give it to a friend to use the second two days), visitors will be required to write their name on the ticket when it is first used for admission, and to show ID with that same name upon subsequent admissions. Obviously minor children will be exempt from the ID requirement, but will also be required to write their name on the ticket when it is first used. Adults should plan to have ID with them to use the ticket.
