I've spent the last two days at Disney World watching as parents and
grandparents--for the most part happily--spend lots of money to make
the magic of make believe come alive for their kids whether they take
them to breakfast or tea with princesses, let them "become" pirates or
prance through the parks in full princess regalia. "Watching her
brings tears to our eyes," one mom said of her five year old daughter. Money well spent, they all agree. This week, Disney announced that
although it is only March, they have already given out the million free
tickets promised to those who participated in the "Give a Day, Get a
Disney Day" in partnership with the HandsOn Network and designed to
encourage families to give back to their communities through volunteer
service.
