Disney YES Program Open to non-groups

[a1tinkfans]

no, I tried registering online, but it wouldn't let me get past that point. I emailed them, waiting for a response.

OH, but I think that you are NOT registering for the OPEN enrollment process thats why! From what I understand that YES open enrollment has to be called in OR you can wait...word is it should be up on their website end of this month....Would you let me know what you hear from them?
Does that make sense??? are you SURE it was for the OPEN enrollment or for other YES programs???

 

[a1tinkfans]

I just went back online myself just now.....and YES, I think you CAN register online now for the OPEN enrollment so....I am not sure why that happened or why they changed it.....as I was told that your entire group could get the Discount tix
Can you tell me if you got the prices for the tix????

yea, I was on the open enrollment page, and the prices were listed on there, $167 for 4 day hoppers premium.

ok, I think I figured it out, everyone can get the tickets, but only 1 adult per child can actually attend the class!!!!!

Great, hope it works out for you....

We will only have 5 days in Orlando so I purchased the 4 day premium hoppers, that way we can do each park and then on the 5th day we can do a water park. On the day we arrive we can do Disney Quest that evening.

I am so excited, we are doing The American Story on June 23. The prices are awesome!! $167 for these tickets, for regular priced tickets with hoppers and water park and more they would have cost $350 per person!!!! (I think I looked at that right).

Doing the online sign-up was a pain. I was having the same problems as a few others seem to be reporting. You have to really watch, because it takes you to the next page, but it looks like you made a mistake on the page you're on, then you start getting those error messages about 1 adult per child and such. I finally closed it all out and restarted the whole thing and finally got through it.

lalijack-we will be there for those same dates, but my grandson is older and is taking the Marine Careers class (not the correct name, but I can't remember it exactly) which is for 9th-12th graders.

No, it can't.
To upgrade your GAD, you have to trade it in for a 1 day pass at a park, then upgrade it at Customer Realtions.
The YES tickets have to be purchased in advance.

I ordered five 7 day park hoppers. With the 4.50 handling charge and $10.00 shipping, our total was $880.10.
Had I ordered them from Disney they would have cost $1522.95. Subtract the 5 GAD vouchers we have and they would have cost $1127.95.
We saved $247.85, plus my grandson gets to go backstage at Living With the Seas. Pretty good savings in my book!

Thanks for the information. I guess I need to recalculate my savings because I was coming up with less savings for 6 tickets.

okay back to the drawing board.

Aren't the 4 day tickets only good for 4 days? Or am I confused about the tickets. I thought that buying four day premium hopper tickets gave you access to all the parks and water parks for 4 days.

what is the site for info on edu. days,etc? anyone know when they are doing it again? thanks....

They would give you 4 days to visit the main parks (MK, EP, DHS, AK), plus 4 visits to the water parks and/or DQ. So you could get 8 days of park visits out of a 4 day premium ticket if you wanted to. (EX: day 1 Blizzard Beach, day 2 MK, day 3 Typhoon Lagoon, day 4 EP, day 5 Disney Quest, day 6 AK, day 7 Blizzard Beach, day 8 DHS).

Thanks for clarifying. I knew that is how it was for the regular tickets but I wasn't sure about the YES tickets. Thanks again.

Oh, okay, then I guess I did too much explaining, lol. Sorry. They are the same as regular tickets, but they have a limited date range in which to use them. That's the only way they're different.

This is the link to the homeschool page. If you look at the very bottom on the Event Info page, you will see that they have announced 2 days in January 2011 for open enrollment in addition to the Sept 2010 days!

Have fun!

I finally registered my two oldest ds's for this last night!!! We are so excited! I have been reading this thread a while and we finally signed up! Thanks so much to the OP and all of the others on this thread.

I have a question for those of you who have ordered tickets before: I put in all my info last night with my cc number. Today I got an email saying my registration was complete, but under the payment received part it says "no". Can someone please tell me how long it should take for my payment to go through? I did the will call option, and I want to be sure my tickets will be there to pick up when we get there.

The "no" just means they have not charged your CC yet. They will not charge your CC until your tickets ship out. Once you see your CC has been charged your tickets will ship out very soon after. Once my CC was charged the tickets were mailed out the next day.

So if you choose will call they don't charge your credit card until you pick them up?

They do charge it immediately.

 

[angeleigh]

They do charge it immediately.

So then if you order them to ship they charge the credit card when they ship but for will call they charge immediately? Sorry for the all the questions.

i'm not sure on the exact timing. I just know that when a friend was doing in January they hoped to use gift cards to pay at the on call window, and that couldn't be done.
