Disney Y.E.S. Program

We did NOT have to in Feb during HS days.

Thanks!

Any news on when homeschool day will be this fall?

It looks to be Oct 2, with classes offered Sept 25-Oct 9. This is the first year we've been able to go and I am currently researching like mad. Any hints are welcome!

(And since I'm new here it won't let me post the link)

We arrive on the 4th of October and we do homeschool, if that makes a difference. Since it says classes offered Sept 25 to Oct 9, do we have to be there for the actual hs presentation to be able to puchase the tickets or could we attend one of the other classes that go through the 9th? Trying to decide if we can do that or if it would be worth it price wise to change our plans. UG, missed it by 2 days!!

I would love to do a YES program with my 8 year old! Are they always offered in December? She would love the marine conservation or animal one!

Dh would have to stay back at the resort with our 5 and 1 year olds, right? Would I just order YES tickets for myself and our 8 year old and order regular tickets for dh and our 5 year old through UT or Disney?

I have never seen classes offered in December, but you never know, things can always change.

You can get two adult tickets with one chile attending. I remember seeing a "child not attending" price, too, so that might let you buy a few more at a decent discount.

How do you know what the cost of tickets are for the home school days? I found the ones for individuals, but if I understand correctly they are much cheaper for the HS days.

We would love to do this. I will be bummed if they don't offer classes in December. It sounds like such a neat experience!

Individual Enrollment classes cannot be substituted for HS Days classes, since HS Days ticket packages *include* the HS Days class. If you want to add on IE classes, you will have to purchase them in addition to your HS Days tickets.

Edit to add - I wasn't thinking and didn't note your arrival date. You cannot pick up a HS Days ticket package after the date has passed, the system is going to require a valid check-in date prior to the class.

Thank you for answering. I figured that was the case. I guess we'll wait till pricing comes out and determine if it will be worth it to change our plans.

Does anyone know how long after they release the date that we will be able to book and see pricing?

Double post - sorry

This may be a silly question, the FAQ says to pick up your tix the day before your YEs program. Can one pick the admission tix and visit the parks few days before the YES course? We will be there Jul 18-28 but classes that my kids qualify for are only on July 22-23. Assuming we purchase enough days can we start enjoying the parks on the 19th? Sorry if that was a stupid question but I am confused!

Do you not get to participate in the magic band program if you buy your tickets through YES?

 

[poober25]

If you are interested in going with a YES group trip in late Nov/early Dec, please PM me. I will send you info a group that is going at that time.

It's been frequently discussed that you can request your ticket codes at 60 days and link them to your reservation. Otherwise, you'll get your codes at 30 days.

I purchased yes tickets for August, I am staying on-site and I ordered my magic bands. I will also be able to make fp+ ressies in advance.

 

[bearbear]

I just had to email for my ticket codes to be released at 60 days. I was able to do this cause I'm staying on property. I should be getting them the end of the month.

 

[Becky27]

Do you happen to remember who you emailed? I am going in August and would like to set up fp+ early too.

I didn't read the whole thread, but is anyone doing the Girls Unite program for Girl Scouts? The tickets are heavily discounted. Similar in pricing to the previous years YES program.
