Disney Y.E.S. Program

We stay offsite so I am not the person to help you out with that part, but last I knew YES ticket payments are processed by a non Disney company so you couldn't use giftcards.

SUPER excited!!!!! Just booked my dd at a class this summer! Was planning on ds attending a class as well but the classes for his age group were full. He was super bummed at first. I offered to change our dates but warned it could be a bit more crowded. He decided spending the morning roaming the parks with dh was a better idea.

I'm simply amazed and THRILLED with the savings!

Hello looking to see if anyone has formed thier own group between May 28th-June 2. and are looking to add more kids. I wanted to sign up the kids for our upcomming trip but no open Yes programs. And I am not able to form my own.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

That is no longer possible.

You must be with a school, church, girl/boy scout organization to form a group.

We are all talking about the individual classes. You will need to look at that schedule.

Not at Disney Quest itself but at the Guest Services by Disney Quest.

Oh good, this is where I will be getting ours. You don't know how late they are open do you?

Okay...if there are any other non sleepers out there (I'm at work ) here's my question. My family consists of myself, my husband and our 4 children. Each child wants to participate in a class, but because of their ages there is not 1 class that they all can participate in, so I have to enroll them all in separate classes. (Technically my DD 10 and my DS 9 could be in the same class, but she could care less about Properties of Motion. She wants to take Wild By Nature). Anyway, since they are all under 13 they each must have a chaperone. Unfortunately, that means that we have to pay for two extra YES classes.

Also, my parents are going to be with us, but since they aren't immediate family they do not qualify for Y.E.S. tickets, but my kids would love to have them chaperone.

So, does anyone have an answer for me other than, "Oooh, tough luck?" .

I'll be calling the program as soon as they open in about 3 hours, but I just thought there might be informed insomniacs out there who might help.

Sign 2 of the kids up with you and your husband as parent chaperones, one for each.

Then do a separate registration for the other 2 with their grandparents as guardian chaperones(it doesn't ask the relationship anyway, at least I don't think so)

I don't know what you mean by paying for more than one class? Do you mean if you and your DH chaperone 2 classes each? I don't think you'd be charged extra since each child would still only take one class, but you would have to pay full price for the grandparents' tickets' if you went that route.

I would definitely get on the move with registering, as you need 4 classes that aren't closed yet. I'm assuming the classes you want are open at this time? Have you gone that far in registration?

I had a similar situation and called the YES program for assistance. I was told to purchase the YES tickets in two transactions. 1 with you and your husband and two of your kids and the other with your parents and two of your kids. That way there would be one adult per child.

Ah, ok. Clearly I have no clue what DQ is! I thought it was inside. Do you happen to know where the Guest Services is located then? Right next to DQ? Thanks!

I just looked at the map and maybe I am wrong. It does look like the guest services is in Disney Quest. Since it requires a ticket to get in the door I do not think that they would put quest services in the building. However it may be connected to the building. Perhaps someone who knows more than me can help?

I see what you're saying, I just looked at a DTD map on Disney's site. It appears to be inside, it's hard to tell! But if like you said, you need a ticket to even enter, then it must be outside. Otherwise people would have to buy a ticket just to get to Guest Relations.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that is where we picked up our tix.

They really emphasized to me that they had to be picked up at a ticket office and not at Guest Services.
But... since we have a confirmation that someone was successful there, I feel better. The guy at YES told me there was a place at DTD, but not to use the Guest Serv so this is actually a ticket office?

All Guest Services/Relations locations should be able to handle all ticket operations, with some very limited exceptions that I am aware of. It shouldn't really matter.

Both of the DTD locations are considered Guest Services. One does seem to do some things that the other can't, but as far as I know it has nothing to do with tickets (except for possibly the Premier Passport) - for instance, I believe Disney Visa Rewards cards can only be issued at the Marketplace location.

I went ahead and emailed the YES program to be sure. This is their exact response:

"In addition to picking up your tickets at the guest services windows at any of the four major theme, you can also pick up your tickets at the Guest Services window at DisneyQuest in Downtown Disney. That is the only location outside of the theme parks that can print your tickets."

Thanks guys! Worked like a charm! I just finished registering! So it's official... I'm Goin' to Disneyworld!

Once again, the Disboarder's know all the answers! You guys are the best!

The one connected to DQ could not help my ticket situation. The scanners at DQ said we had no pluses left, when I knew we had 3 left at that time. They sent me to the guest services right there at DQ, but they couldn't find what was needed in their computer system. They sent me to the other one and those guys were able to take care of me and gave me new tickets with the right amount of pluses.

I signed my 13 year old up for a class in August. The class she wanted, Wild By Nature was closed so I signed her up for Making Waves with a Marine Career. But I just checked and for some reason the Wild By Nature is now available again. I am not sure how that happened. Is it possible to switch? Can anyone comment on the two programs? Is one better than the other? I am not sure if she really cares but before I ask her, I thought I'd ask here.

Im going this summer with my wife, our 20 yr old son, his 21 yr old girlfriend, our 17 yr old daughter and her 17 yr old friend.

There is a YES session my daughter and her friend could attend. For them I'd like to buy 7 day premium packages.

Since they are 17, I believe the requirement is that their "adult" only need be in the same park and aren't required to attend the session with the girls.

I'd like to buy 2 additional 7-day premium packages thru the program. Would it be possible for either a) my son and his girlfriend to be considered "adult/guardians", allowing me to buy 7-day premiums directly for them, OR b) my wife and I to be the guardians, but buying our 7-day premiums packages thru the YES program and transferring/giving them to my son and his gf. See, my wife and I really only need 7 day Park hoppers. We have no need for waterparks, etc. We want the most flexible tickets to go to the young people that will actually use them to the fullest.

By the way, we'll be staying on property in a room only reservation. I'd just buy the extra 2 7-day park hoppers separately from UT.

Thanks is advance for any help on me being able to make this work optimally.

Well, if you could confirm there are at least two spots in the class they want, you could sign up one 17 year old with you and your wife and then the second with your son and his gf and then you would all get the discount tickets. I would think if you call and explain that two friends want to be in the same class, you could confirm that there are 2 or more spots.

If you want to do it the way you suggested, you can actually order different types of tickets in one transaction. I got 8 day premium tickets for my son and his friend and 8 day hoppers for me and my friend. As far as transferring the tickets, that wouldn't be a problem as long as its before you use them.

There is at least 1 spot open for the 2 17-yr olds. However, I was under the impression that you could only purchase 1 adult ticket for each child. But I guess that doesn't apply if you are enrolling the 2 children separately. I guess that is why you are recommending that I call and confirm that there are 2 spots so that I can make sure of that before I enroll the first child (to get 2 adult tix).... and then in turn will enroll the second child (to get 2 additional adult tix).

Also, are you sure that the YES program tix can be transferred to another user (before they are used). I was under the impression that these tickets were a little different than typical dis tix.

This is all new to me even though I've been to wdw about 7-8 times in my life.

Thanks!
