My Disney Channel Claim to Fame

cindy — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:30:57 +0000

Back in February when we were at Walt Disney World’s Volunteer Celebration we were treated to a concert by Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato where they debuted their new song “Make a Wave”. I blogged about it here. I admit my friends Traci, JL and I were having a good time near the front of the crowd waving our glowsticks! There were tons of cameras around and we showed up on the big screen behind the stage a few times during the concert. We even joked about how mortified our kids would be if we made it into the music video for the song.

Well, we aren’t in the music video but we did make it into the Radio Disney All Access report on the Disney Channel! One morning I logged into Twitter to find messages from friends who had seen the piece the night before and that they had easily recognized Traci and I. Oh my were kids afraid to watch the Disney Channel that night but we did…and we saw the infamous spot.

Several of my friends haven’t been able to see it on TV so I promised to post it here. At the 1:32-1:34 marks you can see Traci and me (I’m the blonde she is the brunette in front of me). Enjoy!

Disney’s Give a Day Get a Disney Day Program is Closed

“Give a Day, Get a Disney Day” – a first-of-its-kind program of Disney Parks – reached its goal of inspiring 1 million people in 2010 to give back to their communities through volunteer service in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Since the program started just 10 weeks ago, on Jan. 1, a million people already have volunteered or have committed to volunteer in their communities, according to Disney Parks and HandsOn Network, the nation’s largest volunteer network and a facilitator of “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day.”

To celebrate the good deeds of these individuals, Disney Parks offered each volunteer who completed an eligible project a free one-day admission to one theme park in Walt Disney World Resort in Florida or Disneyland Resort in California. Although registration is now closed and the program has ended, those who volunteered have until Dec. 15, 2010, to redeem their free park ticket (certain block-out dates apply).

For 2010 Disney has rolled out a new program for you to get a free 1 day admission to a Disney theme park. The Give a Day, Get a Disney Day promotion is a win-win. You volunteer a day with a participating agency and then you get a 1-day 1-park theme park ticket.

You must pre-register for the program on the website and sign up for your volunteer opportunity there also. There are tons of participating agencies and ways you can help. Children ages 6-17 must be accompanied by a parent while volunteering.
