Disney Y.E.S. Program

[pooh4brains]

Did he mention if the June dates for WDW would be released next week as well or would that still be around end of January as it's been in the past?

Bumping this question because I was going to ask the exact same thing! Trying to solidify our budget for our trip, and YES tix would help, even if it's not the discount that it once was. I assume that new the discount is still a better discount than what is available from Undercover Tourist??

Oh how I love the Disney trip planning stress!!

I just posted a review of our youth group's experience of Discovering the American Spirit last week if anyone's interested in program content. They had a great time!

The IE website changed twice this morning already. Still can't register, but instead of re-directing you to the group order form, there is a link to purchase IE tickets. Unfortunately, that link loops back around to the original class list. But maybe this is a sign that it will go live sometime today??

I truly appreciate you all keeping up with that. It stresses me so I don't!

DD10 and DS8 did the Ocean Discoveries class on Oct 17. DD loved the class. For DS who just turned 8, it was a little long and he was starting to get a little antsy. We did change activities frequently so that helped, but 3 hours was a little long. It was definitely worth the discount tickets and we'd do another class again.

We are still here for a few more days, so if you ask a question I may not answer right away.

Now it says to "check back soon for 2013 pricing!"

Is checking every hour too soon?

Thanks to everyone who has posted reviews of the classes. Now that I know I will have to register "soon" I need to figure out which classes to register the kids for! Guess I'll go back through the thread and read the reviews this afternoon.

We are a family of 6. I was going to take the two little ones (5 & 8) to a class and hopefully get tickets for everyone. We were looking at the 8 day pass that includes everything. I am so ready for them to finalize the page, because I am such a planner and just need to know. Even if my dates are not there we will know how they are going to handle the tickets as least. Also, curious as to how they are going to divide the classes---elementary is very broad for ages.

My thoughts exactly. I want to know how much more I need to save.

Ok, we leave Sunday to drive down.

Our class meets at 8:30am outside of Epcot. Epcot opens at 9am.

Our print out says that the ticket booth won't be open before the class meets?

Really? What time does the ticket booth open?

There should be at least one ticket booth and/or guest relations window open at least 30 minutes before any guests can enter the park, including for pre-open ADRs, etc. This usually means there is one open by 7:30am.

You CAN pick up the tickets at DTD as well.

 

[DawnM]

Well, the park opens at 9am, so that would mean it would open at 8:30, right?

I know I can go to DTD Sunday night. After a 9 hour drive down and unloading, I was hoping to avoid that, but if I need to I will.

DH told me yesterday he wants to be on the road at 6am! Yikes. I guess if the car is pretty much loaded the night before and he drives first, we will be ok.

If ADRs start at 8:00am, or it is an EMH morning, then they'd be open at 7:30am.

I'm pretty sure I've dealt with guest services at 8:15 or so.

I just wanted to update that I did call the number for Disneyland and was able to book my daughter in two classes for January. I was able to buy 5 tickets for us. They are 5 day hoppers for $235. I was emailed and invoice and have to pay by four weeks out. Classes will be confirmed 3 weeks out. It was so easy and the guy was very pleasant to talk to on the phone.

Let's go individual enrollment. Don't you think you have tortured us enough?

 

[Granny square]

No kidding!!!!

Well, I like the new design of the website, but it is a little confusing because I grew used to the old one. I miss being able to see all the dates of the classes on a master list. It sure was quicker and easier to decide what the kids had available during the days we are there.

exactly!!

I used my phone to look up the site this morning while waiting at the bus stop with the kids. I saw prices and was so excited.
Got back to the house, pulled up the site and realized I was on the wrong page on my phone.
