Disney YES Program Open to non-groups

Does anyone know if you can add days once you receive the tickets? I would like to make 2 of my 7 day hoppers 8 day hoppers. Looks like we will have an extra day before the rest of the family get there.

Call and ask. it can't hurt.

I guess it can't. We could just spend more time at Universal, but I'd kind of like to go to MK the night we get there, just to start the trip off right

I'm sorry. I was hoping there was a way.

No, I was saying I guess it can't hurt to ask I haven't called yet.

Here's a post from a year ago saying "NO upgrade, no changes and no refunds and they therefore expire, so I am told to order carefully, you cannot cancel order."
Hopefully torinsmom they've changed the policy since then? It still can't hurt to call and ask.

I'll still call and check. I know they cannot be upgraded at Disney, but maybe since they haven't been used yet, they will switch them out. If not, no biggie. I am getting us APs to Universal, so we can just spend more time there.

I have some questions on that. A friend and I are going and have 6-7 kids and I'm a Girl Scout leader and my kids are members. Would I be able to add some "outside" kids into the group to fill it to 10+? I wouldn't want to do anything against the rules, but I would love to do these classes and there is not supposed to be open enrollment in November, far as I heard. Thanks for any info!!

When is your trip?! Can we be one of your "outside" kids? I just read 138 pages on this thread tonight...and at least, you have a legitimate group, and if we could join you...that would be awesome! BUT we have two BOYS (5 and 6 yo's...possibly another 5 yo cousin)! We would love to do the How Things Move class for 5 to 7 yo's. Our trip is from 11/5-11/11.

Hi. I purchased 8 day BASE tix as we are going with 1st timers and did not want to "rush" anything. Since then, I have been making myself sick over not getting Park Hoppers. I emailed the YES program and got the following response:

"You should have already received the tickets in the mail. But, we still can change them to park hoppers. What you will need to do is send them back to us and we will exchange them and send you the updated tickets. The same credit card that you used for the original order will be charged for the difference. Unfortunately, this is not something that is available once you are in Disney."

Hopefully, this will ease the mind of some of the previous posters. Now, should I upgrade or not...That is the question!!

Ahhh...thanks! I'll have to call. It's only a couple bucks for another day. I would suggest you go ahead and get the hoppers. Nothing like ending the night at MK or Epcot after another park closes, at least for me.

I don't know too much about the classes as this is my first one, but I do know that it was 30.00 per person attending on top of the ticket fee.

My tickets just came
They were delivered by Fedex.. ordered on the 16th.
I DID have to sign for them. I also asked the driver what would have happened if I had not been home and he said that a notice would have been left but he couldn't have left them without a signature. So I am not sure why it is different procedure here, but for anyone ordering tickets to Canada they won't be left on the porch.. we have to sign for them.

I was a little confused as to why all three of us (DH, DD and myself) were each charged the $30 fee when only DD and one adult would actually be taking the class.

 

[PEANUT1]

30$ extra per person..I am confused too. Is this because you are out of the country???

My confirmation says that the $30 charge is for the class itself. That is the "non refundable" portion they talk about on the website. So even if the class is cancelled you don't get that back. I do remember a spot where you list how many adults are attending and how many children.. which I am assuming is where the charge was added?

I am going to guess that you are asking about Individual Enrollment classes :
At WDW for 2011 there are not Individual Enrollment classes scheduled for May. The price as of present time is $26 for first class which is included in YES park ticket purchase price; there will be an additional $26 per each class taken besides the first class registered for. Individual Enrollment classes for 2011 so far have been scheduled in Jan. & Feb. and then will next be in June, July & Aug. and dates have also now been posted for Sept. & Oct. but registration for Sept. & Oct. dates has not opened yet. If your child is part of a youth organization group that is planning a trip to WDW there are classes scheduled from Jan. through December and I think for home schoolers too. Try this link for more information or better yet email or call the YES office; they are very helpful answering any planning questions you may have.

I just received my tickets today also. I almost did not make it to the door and the Fedex guy was leaving it just inside my storm door.

I also noticed the $30 fee person, but it was not on top of the price listed on the website. I purchased the 8 day Park hopper w/ 8 fun visits and the website listed the price as $208.92. The invoice listed the price as $178.92 + $30 Program fee per person.

Yes, that was the same for me. It's not on top of the price quoted, but built in to the total price I paid on the website.

I got my tickets today! I had my MIL at my house waiting for FEDEX(and she picks the kids up from school) but I don't know if she had to sign for them or not.

 

[pigletto]

I noticed on the back of mine that they were issued March 25th. I ordered them on teh 16th. So it would seem that they wait until they have a few orders and do them at once, rather than each time someone registers. Especially since a few of us got them today.
