I’ve heard it said that no act is truly selfless (okay, I’ll admit I’ve heard this mostly on a certain episode of Friends). Disneyland is now taking this idea a step further by rewarding people for volunteering. So in case all the warm fuzzy feelings you get from helping out your community weren’t enough, NOW you can get a day at a Disney park for free when you volunteer at a Disney-approved location through the Give a Day Get a Disney Day program. They have a wide variety of opportunities, including shelters, after-school programs, hospitals, and more. The program is limited to the first million people who sign up, one Disney day per person, volunteers must be at least 6 years old and accompanied by someone over 18, certain other restrictions apply, blah blah blah.

Here’s Nate and I at Disneyworld in Orlando just six months after we started dating. And yes, we are wearing matching shorts. Again. I’m starting to think that every well-documented moment in our lives will have us looking like the Cleavers. I should just give in and start buying all plaid for both of us.

We’re planning on visiting Disneyland in Anaheim this year – we’re already signed up to volunteer at the Carlsbad marathon this month. I, for one, can’t wait!
