    <p>In the past 10 weeks since Disney Parks 'Give a Day, Get a Disney Day' program began 1 M have been inspired to volunteer. Having reached its goal, the program has now ended and guests may no longer register and sign up for projects to earn a free Disney theme park ticket, the need for volunteers is ongoing.</p>

Well I guess it averages out- Year of a Million dreams lasted what 31 months- Year of the Volunteer lasted 10 weeks...

    There is no downside to this effort.
