Disney YES Program Open to non-groups

[mandysmom]

August-October 2010 is now available. It is called "Individual Enrollment" though.

And it is not obvious. Go through the procedure to purchase the tix to see it (but cancel out before actually buying)

Woo-hoo!! Just registered for my 2 girls for Aug 16! 5-day base tickets for 5 adults...$714. Saved over $400 over ticket broker prices Couldn't be happier!!

Thanks, Disboard/Budget Forum!!!

I'm doing something wrong because I can't get to the individual enrollment part. I went through the ticket purchase motions, but did not see this as an option. We'll be there soon and would love this. Help!

Try this link, go through and put in all information on and keep continuing through and there will be a drop down menu to pick Aug- Oct. Keep continuing and then the classes and dates will show up for you to choose. After you choose the initial class and tickets, you can add other classes.

Awww, there are only 2 classes while we're there in October One is on our arrival day and we won't be there at 8:30am when the class starts and the other is on a non-park day for us....near the end of our trip. Both of them are for 2nd or 3rd grade through 9th graders....so only 3 out of my 5 children could go, still those tickets would have been a nice break. Can someone tell me how that works exactly though.....we have the kids free package on one of our rooms and the regular free dining on the other. I'm thinking even with the cheaper tickets we'd not come out ahead with that free kids room....might not be as big a savings as I was imagining.

when will open enrollment dates for next year come out?we are going to wdw during easter 2011(4-23/4-30) and would be interested in doing the program

There won't be any during Easter or spring break. Those dates are WAY too busy. The open enrollment dates are on dates that the Y.E.S. Programs typically dont sell out, to make sure there's enough capacity for everyone that wants to join. Your best bet will be January, and June through October, avoiding the holidays.

I went back through the thread and it looks like Jan.2010 dates were announced in Aug 2009 so I'm keeping my eyes peeled!

I did some quick math and it's cheaper for us to just stick with the tickets we have now and the kids free tickets/dining package. It's 946.12 if we do the YES program and we're currently paying 900.00 for tickets for the same amount of time.

It's still open to everyone though right?

Are the open enrollment classes typically on weekend days only? We'll be arriving in the evening on Sat. 9/18 and departing on Thurs. 9/23. I didn't see anything that worked during our dates (but I may have not looked in the right place).

We are doing the class in august I just booked our trip totally last minute and opted for shipping to my home. I hope the tix get here in time!

Yes, open enrollment is for anyone who wants to attend the scheduled classes. I've already received my confirmation for our 8/16 class.

Does anyone know if Open Enrollment ticket prices will increase since regular ticket prices are increasing as of tomorrow ?

 

[LuckyMamaInDE]

Very excited----the class dd10 and I signed up for (Wild by Nature next Tuesday Aug 10) has enough people to be held! I received a phone call yesterday confirming our participation

This has me concerned. I signed up for the August 30th class, it's the only one during our trip. What if there aren't enough people to hold it and they cancel it? There is nothing to move us to. What happens to our park tickts?

Nope. Youth Group tickets are completely independent of "gate" or "rack rate" tickets and are set well in advance. The rates are based on a calendar year and typically increase in January. The rates ARE increasing for 2011, but not by a lot at all (less than the gate increase).

You're fine... the programs are extremely popular, so no worries about just 10 showing up.
