2013 Y.E.S. Program Website Live for WDW

[DizzyStitch]

It looks like the new Website has gone live. I don't see any info on how many tickets you can buy. It looks like the 8 day premium for 2013 is 235.00. It also looks like they have January and February there for WDW for 2013.

Where are you seeing that? I am not finding it at all.

 

[adisneymama]

The main screen says 2013 pricing coming soon but if you click on ready to buy it will take you to the list. What I can't figure out however, is it seems to want you to add either meal coupons of dining cards etc. It also reads that you must be a group of 10 or more. What am I doing wrong?

They have not opened up Individual enrollment yet.

The list of classes is posted, but according to a poster on the other YES thread, the site is still under construction and you won't be able to actually enroll and purchase tickets for Individual Enrollment until some time next week.

I got to the page with the lists and the prices of the tickets......I don't see any dates for classes -am I not looking right? Or maybe they aren't there yet? Thank you OP! I am waiting for Individual enrollment and HOPING there are classes with my dates!

As soon as I heard about the Limited Time Magic Pirate Week, I went onto the YES site to see if there were any Animation Magic dates open for individual enrollment around the time I think Pirate Week would be (I'm guessing Sept 19, since that is Talk Like a Pirate day?) only to see it's not called Animation Magic anymore. Has anybody who has gone to Animation Magic compared the new description with what they did? I hope it's much the same. My daughter has decided she wants to be an animator when she grows up, and I thought Animation Magic would be perfect for her to try out. We weren't planning on going back until 2014, but I would find a way to make a Pirate Week trip happen if we could get into the Animation class too. We're big Pirate fans - so much so that we called our restaurant Pegleg's

Could you please direct me to that other site?

Is there a list of dates for general enrollment?

Thanks!

Individual Enrollment for WDW will not be available until next week. The upgraded site has been live for a couple of days. Latest reports are mid week, next week for Individual Enrollment.

If you click on the 'Ready to Order' button, it just redirects you to group enrollment.

Thanks!

hello..new to the board...how quickly do the individual prgrams sell out. Are the lunch/dinner vouchers really cost effective. Thank you

 

[letsgoreds]

No idea for the Jan/Feb dates, many of the early summer dates sold out in the first couple of weeks, many not until later. They also added some summer dates after they filled up this year.

I believe the food voucher discounts are only for groups, not individual enrollment, so I have no clue.

 

[Mog's Mom]

how quickly do the individual prgrams sell out.

Historically, these programs have sold out quickly. There's no indication on the Y.E.S. site about how many spots remain available though, but since most are for 9 participants, you'll be wise to register ASAP.

As of today (Nov 3) all WDW Individual Enrollment programs for Jan/Feb 2013 are open. I've copied today's list from the Y.E.S. site, see below.

That's good news... but. Since the program info had been available for a while before registration opened, we spent time with our children looking at the options presented on the Y.E.S. site, and let them select the age-appropriate programs that seemed most interesting to them. Surprise! When we tried to register tonight, the programs that our children chose were not offered for their age group. So it appears the general information about the programs is different from what they are actually offering when it comes to registration.

For example, "Principles of Animal Behavior" is described as being for "Elementary, Middle - Junior High, High School". However, when we went to register our kids, it was listed on the registration page as for "Ages: 8 - 11", just Elementary. The age groups were different for "Discovering Marine Life Conservation", "Sustainable Practices in Wildlife Conservation", and "The Evolution of Technology" as well, and might be for other programs.

This can affect your plans for what days you'll go to what parks (and eat in what restaurants if you're on the meal plan), so make sure you wander down into the registration form before finalizing your decisions.

Another difference you'll see is that the "Energy and Waves Physics Labs" 201 & 301 have been combined. This is the program we ended up putting our 12 & 15 year olds into, hoping that the combined group will still split into two age groups... the idea that a single program will engage 12- to 17-year-olds seems absurd.

Here's the list, copied from the registration page, as of today:

[Jen_in_NH]

Does anyone have any idea when the classes for fall 2013 will be posted?

 

[cinmouse]

Watching and waiting for the rest of 2013 dates~

 

[tlh0726]

2012 summer/fall classes were not posted till early february this year.


Prices for adults through Individual Enrollment have gone up considerably. But it is still a saving over regular gate pricing.


Food vouchers are not available through Individual Enrollment.

 

[Vickie46]

Can you tell me where to find the 2013 adult tickets you can purchase if your child does the yes program?

 

[bigmama67]

Subbing - we would like to get 5 day tickets and I know my son would love to do a class. Hopefully we can combine this with a hotel discount at Port Orleans!

 

[Vickie46]

I found the prices.. thanks!

 

[DawnM]

I see the 8 day Premium at $252 for students and $391 for adults attending the class.

BTW: The $391 is the regular price for an 8 day hopper with waterparks and more option.

It looks like the new Website has gone live. I don't see any info on how many tickets you can buy. It looks like the 8 day premium for 2013 is 235.00. It also looks like they have January and February there for WDW for 2013.
