Disney recently unveiled their new "celebration" for the next year. The theme is "Give a day, Get a day" the idea behind it is that you volunteer for a day with one of the charities and non-profit organizations that Disney supports and they will give you a free day at the parks. I think this is an amazing, ground-breaking idea for Disney. I think the birthday celebration was good. With the economy doing so badly it was good to help families bring their kids for a lower price. This celebration however, is a horse of a different color (I never did understand that phrase, but I feel like it applies here). It will give people an opportuity to give back, and they will be rewarded. Another plus is with the birthday celebration, Disney was banking on the fact that the whole family would come with the birthday boy or girl and the whole family would have to pay to get in with them. With this, you could potentially get your whole family in for free, just by sacrificing a day of helping someone less fortunate. I applaud Disney's effort to recognize the economic problems we face as a country, but also the trials that many people are experiencing as a result of that.
