Disney Trip

Nov 30 - Dec 4, 2009

Sign up open until October 1

$200* per person

(Ages 3 and up)

*Please note - The price may be slightly less.  The price last year was $175 per person, and they usually go up about $15 per year.  Nov. and Dec. are considered 2010, and they have not posted the 2010 prices yet.

The Disney Youth Education Series Programs (Y.E.S.) transports your students behind the scenes of Disney Theme Parks to showcase how principles they're learning in the classroom make exciting things happen every day at Walt Disney World® Resort. Specially-trained Disney facilitators use captivating material and breathtaking experiences to get your students' eyes wide open.  Disney Y.E.S. field studies allows your group to do things it can't do anywhere else in the world!  Each student must attend one Y.E.S. program to qualify for this trip.  We must have a minimum of 10 students for each Y.E.S. program.  We will try to schedule several different programs so that hopefully your child may attend one that they just truly love!  

$15 nonrefundable deposit due per person at time of signup.  Sign up early!  Chaperon assignments, Y.E.S. program choices, and *discounted tickets for adults will be decided on a first come/first serve basis. 

*Our group ratio of adults cannot exceed our group ratio of children.  All adults can buy tickets at the discounted price as long as there are not more adults in the group than there are children.  Priority for discounted tickets will go to the parents first and then grandparents, and will be on a first come/first serve basis. 

If you need to back out of the trip prior to October 1, your money will be refunded to you (less a $15 per ticket return fee).  If you must cancel after October 1, a refund cannot be guaranteed.  I will work with you to help you sell your tickets to another family. 

Frequently Asked Questions...

1.  I have a year pass to Disney.  Can I still attend the Y.E.S. program?  Yes, you can sign up with the group and pay a $30 fee to attend the Y.E.S. program.

2.  I can't be there by November 30.  Are the tickets good at any other time?  Yes, in order to get this price for the tickets we have committed to attending the Y.E.S. Program.  That is the only day you HAVE to be there.  Tickets are valid Nov 23 - Dec 11.  That gives you 19 days to sort of play with as long as your child attends the Y.E.S. program.  You must have a park ticket to attend the Y.E.S. Program, so make sure to save one day's worth of your tickets for that day. 

3.  What day will we attend the Y.E.S. Program?  Wednesday, December 2

4.  Does this price include hotel accommodations, food, or transportation?  No.  These prices are for the 5-day hopper passes, 4 trips to the water parks and/or Disney Quest, and the Y.E.S. program only.

5.  Will there be arranged transportation and/or accommodations?  No, that is up to you to schedule.  Everest Academy will only be scheduling for this package. 

6.  Can the adults attend Disney Y.E.S. Programs?  Yes, a limited number of chaperons are permitted to attend Disney Y.E.S. programs; but in some cases not all chaperons may be permitted. A maximum of one chaperon for every five students may attend Disney Y.E.S. Programs.  Chaperons will be assigned first come/first served, so sign up early!!!

7.  Which Y.E.S. Program will we attend?  That depends on who signs up and which programs they choose.  I will go with the majority vote.  If we have enough to sign up, I will try to make more than one group. We must have a minimum of 10 students in order to schedule a particular Y.E.S. program. 

8.  How will I get my tickets?  You can either attend an Everest Academy function to pick up your tickets, or your tickets will be mailed to you at your request and at your cost via certified, traceable, insured, signature, as-safe-as-the-post-office-can-get mail at least two weeks before our departure date.

9.  Can other homeschoolers attend this trip?  Yes, this trip is open to all homeschoolers regardless of cover school.

10.  What is a hopper pass?  You can visit all four Disney parks as many times as you want in one day.  You have a five-day hopper pass, which means for five days, you can visit one park a day or four parks a day or any combination of your choice.

11.  What about the water park/Disney Quest tickets?  These are not hopper passes.  This part of the package is for four visits.  For instance, if you go to both a water park and Disney Quest in one day that will take up two of your visits.  These can be used any time during your stay. They don't have to be used during your 5 park days.

12.  Why is Disney offering this deeply discounted rate?  Because we are going as a school group with the understanding that each child will attend one of the Y.E.S. programs.

13.  Does my 2-year-old have to have a ticket?  Each guest age 3 and up must have a ticket.

14.  Does my 3-year-old have to attend a Y.E.S. program?  Y.E.S. programs are for children ages 5 (possibly a mature 4) and up.

15.  Can grandparents come at the same price?  Our group ratio of adults cannot exceed our group ratio of children.  All adults can buy tickets at the discounted price as long as there are not more adults in the group than there are children.  Priority for discounted tickets will go to the parents and then grandparents, and will be on a first come/first serve basis.
