Do you know if the park passes you got were transferable to another user? I have an annual pass so I was wondering if I could give the pass I earn from volunteering to a friend or family member.

My one experience volunteering at a runDisney event was through a Charity Partner, so my experience was quite different. (I BET that early taxi ride was costly!) When friends of mine are on the fence about running, I always suggest that they volunteer at a local, or better yet, runDisney race; isn't the energy contagious?! And that windbreaker is a nice perk too. :D Headed over to read your complete story now. Tricia and I can't thank you enough for this terrific post!:DISTherapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874755796793747653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-6234255821844542122014-01-02T21:17:58.069-05:002014-01-02T21:17:58.069-05:00We volunteered at the WDW Half last year and the e...We volunteered at the WDW Half last year and the expo too.
