Last year Disney had the promotion where you could go to Disneyland (or World) on your birthday for free. I registered the whole family, however the only convenient option was for Joe and me to go for our birthdays and anniversary. I bought 2 discounted 2-day park hopper passes online so we could each go every day. On my birthday I used my free pass and Joe used his first day ticket. On our anniversary we both used our tickets at both parks, and on his birthday I used the last day of my ticket and he used his free pass. Since our birthdays are 2 days apart and our anniversary is right in the middle it makes celebrating easy. This was Joe’s first visit to Disneyland and both of our first visit to California Adventure.
This year Disney’s promotion made it possible for the entire family to go all at once. The only problem was actually trying to get registered for it. Everyone was trying to register for the promotion. We were able to finally get accepted to volunteer somewhere and I was excited about that. I have heard there are volunteer vacations that people can do but I don’t know much about them. I remember reading a brief article once about them in LDS Living magazine. So I was excited that that with this promotion, the kids could earn their ticket and go. All but Sam were eligible
The first appointment that I set up only would take adults. I would have done it but it while partially while I was at work so Joe got to take it. It was working at a bake sale for a retirement community fundraiser event. He had fun. They even fed him. I should have done this job. What I got to do with the boys (Adam, Joseph and Joshua) is yard work. We brought 3 hibiscus plants. The boys each planted one. Then we asked what else we could do. We went and placed mulch down over a flower garden. Then we shoveled gravel and moved it from a big gravel pile to another area where they were laying down plastic. Under that plastic had been weeds, which Joseph had helped weed. It was fun nonetheless.
About a week later, we received our vouchers by email. Now it's time to plan a trip.
