We attended WBN last Oct. and my kids ages 9 and 12 loved it. Then again they love anything to do with animals. I thought my 12 y.o. would be bored as he is gifted but he actually impressed the leaders by knowing the answers to almost all their questions

It was a little slow at times but overall we really enjoyed the program.

We just booked a very last minute trip for October 5-9th. All classes show closed online. Is that because they are full or because we're too close to the class? Don't want to call if the answer is they are full!

Thanks!

I think the only way to find out for sure, would be to call.

Hi there -

If the class shows closed, my guess is it's because it's full...

We are heading to WDW in mid-October. Our two oldest are doing a YES class... I had originally wanted one in AK - but it showed closed - while others were open - and that was back in February!

When I called to ask questions wayyy back then, I was told if the class shows full, it's booked.

But I suppose it's worth a try. Good luck!

For those who have done this, how do you make sure you don't schedule a character breakfast or something like that at the same time? We will have to make those reservations in Dec but can't get our YES classes until February.

DS9 and I attended Disney's Ocean Discoveries this week. He doesn't have any particular interest in marine studies- this class just fit our schedule, to be honest. That said, he had a great time! The class is almost entirely indoors, which was a huge plus for us. We were split into separate groups, ours had 17 people total- kids and adults.

The kids learned mostly about sea turtles and how to protect them. They discussed fishing nets and made and presented their own (mini) fishing nets, and sorted marbles picked up in a net to show how few fish we keep and how many others get caught in the net.

They played a game where the kids were sea turtles and parents were predators or other items dangerous to them (litter, for example). Then they learned about how sea turtles eat and used chopsticks and chickpeas to bring that point home (sea turtles are opportunistic feeders, the chopsticks made it so it was harder to pick up the chickpeas). Then we rode Nemo.

After Nemo, we checked out the manatees and then discussed the "Food Web" (as opposed to the food chain, to show how everything is intertwined). There was also a portion of the class where we got a list of fish in the aquarium and checked them off as we saw them, and then the kids had a little quiz where they identified them from pictures.

DS9 loved it and said he would gladly take another class in the future. I hope that helps anyone considering this class!

Is this the first year for individual enrollment in the YES program?

I just want to know because I really would like to do this for July 2013?
