chaperone survival part deux

[Ambifins]

I actually posted this on another group, but perhaps here is more applicable.

I will be chaperoning a group of 12 teenagers to Disney Feb 3-7th. (I know, I know, it's insanity, but it does allow me to go, basically, for free). I've done this once before, and found Disney a safe and fun place to bring kids. I don't have to drive, it's very (very, VERY) difficult for kids to break the rules, and, as I mentioned, I get to go for free.
What I've done in the past is get all the kids together; go to the parks, as a group; and let them roam on their own until we meet at our designated meeting time. Also, everyone has cell phones to check in with me throughout the day. It worked out great when we did it before; and they're all good kids.
I'm looking for something we might be able to do as a group. A big dinner at a particular restaurant? A show? Cost is an issue, so something like Cirque is out.
I'd love suggestions.
Thanks!

The campfire at FW is a good place to go for free (or very cheap if you want to buy smores) and you can meet Chip and Dale there plus get a movie to boot!

You could probably arrange for a dinner/lunch at Whispering Canyon at WL. I bet they'd like that.

There's also mini-golf.

I thought I remembered hearing about a scavenger hunt that you can do in the Magic Kingdom. I believe you can get info on this at City Hall on Main St.

Maybe someone else has more info on this?

You can arrange a character meal for a larger group through group dining. Which kills 2 birds w/ one stone. You all have to eat, and you get "together time".

We did that for our band trip and it worked just great...

Maybe going to a character dinner. That would be fun. Teenagers arent too cool for it either... trust me haha
