Wdw Sports Enthusiast Program

Not sure how I found out about this, but happy I did none the less. The website describes it this way:
The Sports Enthusiasts program gives community members a chance to be involved in their community, be a part of their favorite sporting events and support various charities while having a great time with friends and family.
How I describe it?
A fun way to earn free Disney park tickets! I’ve been able to assist with several marathons, including the Iron Man triathlon, and the Disney Princess marathon, while being inspired by all those participating. Some of the volunteer jobs might include helping at the finish line, water stations, medals, registration, and you can even register to be a screaming fan. I love this role most of all because it gives me a reason to scream and use my air horns and cow bell.
I am super impressed with how Disney organizes sporting events – it’s quite unbelievable how this company organizes so many people together all at once. Along with incentive park tickets, Disney usually gives out tee shirts, and a meal or snack when you volunteer. I love to see the kids out volunteering as well – it’s a great experience. Each event has an age requirement. I believe it’s around 15 for most.
Now, I should mention, a lot of times, volunteering means showing up at 5:30 am in preparation, in addition to picking up credential packages days prior to the event. I think it’s worth it, however. Volunteers are needed for many events, and some fill up fast, so it’s important to register as soon as notices go out if you would like to participate.
