I actually posted this on another board with not much success, but it was suggested that I repost it here since more people visit this board. So, here is my original post... thank you in advance and ANY help is greatly appreciated.
*********************************************************
I am a Girl Scout leader and our troop has been working on going to WDW for the past four years. We are finally going in June 2006. We are going to participate with the Youth Education Series (Y.E.S.) Program that Disney offers and I wanted to know if there were others out there that have taken their groups through this program. I am a "veteran" with Disney having visited many, many times over the years, but only with my own family not with others. I was just hoping for some good 'ole advice.
I am fortunate to have one parent per girl attending with them, so I will have many eyes watching out for the girls. Because of my knowledge of Disney, the parks, and restaurants, I will have all of that worked out ahead of time in a very precise itinerary so the girls can do and see as much as possible.
However, even though I have been to WDW MANY times, I have only stayed on property once as my mother-in-law lives about 15 minutes away from the front gate. She is fantastic and our stay at the WL was WONDERFUL!!! We are planning on staying at one of the All Star resorts or Pop Century because of price issues (to stay at a different kind of resort would mean another year or saving up and the girls want to go NOW) and the fact that we won't spend all that much time in the room.
Also, my girls are third year Juniors and Cadettes which mean they will be between the ages of 12 and 14 when we go. Again, I will have all of my moms with us and any information you can suggest for them would also be great. I know that there will be at least one time when they will not be able to tag along (Y.E.S. class).
So, with that bit of information, if you could offer me any advice, links, etc. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks so much!
