Well...looks like free dining is back...LOL
Our volunteer opportunity is this Satuday and we just received the confirmation by email today. We're still able to complete the service and get our vouchers right?

I think what's really sad is all the organizations whose dates weren't even logged on as yet (due to the 60 day limit). They will be missing out on all those volunteers! I received my voucher about a month ago, as I picked an activity that happened earlier in the year. We were still checking for something my daughter and I could do together, one event we had signed up for and had to cancel due to my daughters work and school schedule. This organization was still listed as of last week. I'm thinking I'm going to contact them again and see if they still need the help - I would gladly go if so. For those of you that have volunteered - please do so again - that is the only way some of these places can still keep going. For those of you that did not meet the GAD deadline, please find something and help someone out. I think the GAD promotion was a wonderful idea on Disney's part - let's show them they did do a good thing!
Just as a heads up, you must be committed on the Volunteer Opportunity Portal to be safe. Just receiving a confirmation email will not mean your safe (because the volunteer org will send out a confirmation - you need confirmation from specifically the Hands On Network). It is simple to check - Go to Manage Account. Sign in with email and password. Click on Go to Hands On Network. Click on Change/Cancel current opportunity. Make sure your org is listed with the right date. If it is not, your no longer eligible.

I'm in but I do have to say that it really stinks that they are really cutting it off here - I mean what about people that were planning trips in the fall or winter, I'm sure they were planning to volunteer closer to their trips! I know I would if I were traveling at that time. Luckily we got ourselves registered this past weekend!!
I really think they should've set the limit a lot higher than one million. This is Disney that they're talking about! Of course lots of people are going to want to help...
So, are they going to be doing something else for the rest of the year then?
I wanted to add that I am sad to be turning people away. I was hoping people would still want to help out just to be kind, but no such luck.
It is a bit disappointing to see that people only would truly volunteer to get something in return.

with all due respect and not saying this to be mean, with the economy the way it is I can understand why. Free vs $80 ticket price.
