Celebration Vacations – Disney Style!
What’s your reason for visiting Walt Disney World this year? Do the little ones want to see Mickey? Are you planning an escape from the cold weather? Or, do you just want to go someplace where you know you’ll have an awesome time? All are good reasons to visit Walt Disney World Resort. But, the No. 1 reason for vacationing here is to celebrate.
Recent surveys show “celebration vacations” have become the most popular reason for travel in this country. Not just taking a trip to visit relatives or to see natural wonders, vacationers are now turning travel time into grand celebrations of special events and milestones in their lives. These include, but are not limited to, birthdays; love – proposals, weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries; promotions; quinceañeras; graduations; reunions; your first family vacation together; or just any excuse to get away for a fun time.
Now,
this year there is incentive for visiting Orlando in 2010. Anyone who volunteers for an eligible project through Hands On Network will receive a one-day theme park ticket to Walt Disney World Resort completely FREE. The Give a Day, Get a Disney Day Free is a salute to those guests who devote their hearts and hands to make their communities better places.
The free ticket entitles guests to a one day, one theme park admission to one of all four Walt Disney World parks – the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. To start the process and register please visit www.disneyparks.com.
If you are not planning to be part of the Give a Day, Get a Disney day FREE, you can still have a reason to visit Orlando and begin the celebration process.
