Taking my GS troop to WDW... want to hear from other Y.E.S.ers!!!

[Nanette]

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 Program (Y.E.S.) 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, but our stay at WL was WONDERFUL!!! We are planning on staying at one of the All Star resorts or Pop Century because of price issues and the fact that we won't spend all that much time in the room.

So, with that bit of information, if you could offer me any advice, links, etc. I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks so much!
