This week you and your kids can experience the magic of Disney without flying to Orlando or Orange County, because Disney Parks are coming to us!

On Friday from 11am-2pm, we are all invited to come down to a free event at the Woodrow Wilson Plaza at the Ronald Regan International Trade Center. There kids will receive a massive, eco-friendly Mickey Mouse-shaped balloon and families can learn all about Disney’s new promotion in 2009: Disney is offering free admission to guests on birthdays! (And as my family and I experienced Disneyland together in 2007, I can attest that this is a HUGE savings.)

Attendees will also be entered in the sweepstakes for a free trip to DisneyWorld or Disneyland that includes roundtrip airfare, accommodations at a Disney Resorts Hotel and 4 days of park passes for a family of four. Oh, and unlike contests offered by other corporations, families actually win these Disney trips.

Can’t make it Friday? The tour moves to Baltimore on Saturday at the Baltimore Marathon Celebration Village at Ravens Stadium. Can’t make either event? You can still enter the sweepstakes and receive free admission on your birthday. You can even get a free DVD mailed to you to help you plan your Disney vacay.
