OK. Wow. That may change things. What does the premium ticket include and how long is it good for again?

I am so sorry to say this, but I was misinformed about the cost of the class for those already with tickets or AP holders.

I was told by someone who had previously organized a Y.E.S. group that the cost of a class for AP holders or those who already had tickets that it was $26 per student/per class. After calling today to speak with our coordinator, I was told this is NOT correct.

Here is the correct information: Every student participating in a Y.E.S class MUST purchase a Disney Y.E.S ticket (basically a minimum of a 3-day, one park per day ticket).

I am SO sorry to have passed on the wrong info to everybody! I feel terrible about it and apologize. I will be changing the info on the front page right away!

That sucks. Are the tickets just used for entry to the parks/program or are the needed for something else. I have a large group going with us so could we purchase additional student/parent tickets and have the other kids participate and use the tickets from their package to get into the parks? That is probably against a rule or something, but just a thought.

Ex: 7 day Premium YES ticket is $189.11
7 Day Magic Your Way Park Hopper with Water Park Fun & More Option Ticket is $359.99

Thats a savings of $170.88

If you buy the minimum ticket for the free dining, 2 day MYW, its $166.14. Add on the 7 day Premium YES ticket and you total is $355.25. Minor savings of about $5 and you get to keep your free dining plus have a 2 day ticket you can upgrade for a future trip!

I'm sure not every senario comes out this good. I would think it would be mostly for the people going for premium tickets. The prices I used for the MYW tickets are for adults. Savings for the kids would be less.

The premium ticket includes park hopping between all 4 themeparks, plus the waterparks and Disney Quest, and it is good for 7 days before and after our arrival dates. Our arrival date will be December 4th and our departure date is December 18th, so the tickets will be good starting November 27th through December 25th (you would not be able to use the tickets starting on Dec 26th). However, you still would only have 8 days to use on the tickets total, although I think you can buy up to 10 day primium Y.E.S tickets, but I would need to call to get the prices for those.

That totally sucks for AP holders and people who booked packages for sure. I guess it's a way to ensure that the Y.E.S program remains appropriately funded. If the AP holders swamped the classes with their kids all year long, the lack of Y.E.S ticket sales would cut off the necessary funding to run the program. That's my guess anyway.

The tickets work just like any other ticket....they get you into the parks and you can use them to get fastpasses, and of course the class too. If you have other people going with you who have kids, I absolutely would have the kids participate in the class so they and their parents could order and use the Y.E.S tickets. I mean, it's a fun three hour class, and it would save them hundreds of dollars.

My niece is the only one of age for the class... My son will be in kindergarden and my other niece is only 4. We are a big group of grown ups

Oh shoot, and I'm pretty sure we couldn't pass off a 4 and 5 year old as third graders during the class. LOL!

Did everyone interested in attending this class receive a PM from me about ordering tickets? If not, please let me know so I can send you the information.

Also, if you haven't gotten back to me about ordering tickets, please do so as soon as you can so I can get a final student count.

I know some of you are still finalizing plans and the number of tickets needed, so as soon as your plans are finalized, please send me a PM and let me know.

Thanks everyone!

Hi
I think we might be interested.
We are at Disney 12-22 and we have one third grader.
Do you still have room?
Thanks
Jennifer

Yes, we still have room and are beginning the process of ordering tickets!

I'll send you a PM.

 

[disney-super-mom]

As of now, these are the only people I've heard back from regarding ticket orders:

brios86
Rosebud4
TinkerBelle920 (who is no longer coming)
jillianjewels

Other than that, my inbox is very quiet (shhhhhhhhhh).

 

[disney-super-mom]

Also, brios86 reminded me about the PayPal fee, so if you are paying for your tickets through PayPal, pleeeeeeeeeeease add on the 2.9% + .30 fee to your total. I'm more than happy to cover our ticket processing fee that Disney charges and the postage to send everyone their tickets, but the PayPal fee is just a bit too much for me to take on.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Happy Friday everyone!

How is everyone doing? Are you all getting your plans together for ticket orders? Anyone with any questions or updates?

Any other families interested in joining this class? We'd love to have you join us for a fun class at the Magic Kingdom!

I am considering organizing a group for March 2011. Do you have to know how many are going and what ages to submit the request form or can you add more later? Can you get the tickets before you leave or do you have to pick them up when you arrive? Congratulations on how your group is coming together!

March will be a great time for a Y.E.S. group! You should get lots of interest.

Yes, you can submit a request form now if you wish with just an estimate of the number of students and grade levels and then add more later when you order tickets.

When you order tickets, you can have the tickets mailed to you and then you mail them out to everyone in your group prior to arrival (this is what I am doing). Or you can pick them up at a Will Call window, but the tickets would need to be picked up as a group, and I'm assuming everyone would be arriving on different days, so that really wouldn't work.

Hope that helps.

Good Saturday Morning All!

Is everyone who expressed interest still wanting to do this class? I haven't heard from some of you in a while now, even from some who seemed to be "for sures".

If you're unable to come or changed your mind, could you please let me know in a quick post to the thread or a PM so I can adjust our class list.

As of right now, I think we only have a class of about 9 students....at the most, which isn't enough to attend the class or be able to keep and use the Y.E.S. discounted tickets. I hope I hear back from some of you soon.

And if anyone else is interested in joining us, please say so! We'd love to have your young'ins join us for three hours of learning fun at the Magic Kingdom!

 

[disney-super-mom]

Hi everyone.

Here is an updated class list. As of now, I'm only counting those who PMd me back concerning their ticket order as "confirmed" students.

Also, anyone who signs up their child/children for a class MUST attend the class. If we don't have at least 10 children show up for the class, then ALL of us will lose our Y.E.S tickets (they will immediately null and void all tickets ordered by our group). That would be SAD and AWFUL!

So please, if you are sincerely interested in your children attending the class, then join us for a really fun learning experience.

What is the price on the 10 day base ticket?

 

[jillianjewels]

We are doing 2 kids now instead of one.
3 grade and 4th grade so I hope this helps our group.

I will call Heidi (our coordinator) tomorrow and ask her.

That's terrific! This puts us at 10 students. YAY!

 

[disney-super-mom]

Hi DisBoarders,

We still have plenty of room for more students to join our class on December 15th, so sign up before it's too late.

I'd like to have our tickets ordered and paid for in the next couple of weeks because the current Y.E.S. ticket prices are only available through August. Starting in September, the Y.E.S. ticket prices can, and probably will, go up.

And make sure that if you sign your kids up for the class that they actually come to the class.....a small little detail that is quite important for all of us.

It's going to be a lot of fun, so c'mon! Don't be shy!
