Disney Youth Educational Programs...

Disney offers many educational programs for student groups. I've chosen the twelve programs listed below for our 2009 trip.  The interest of the group will ultimately determine which programs get scheduled. As programs are close to having the minimum registration, required dates/times will be provided as soon as they are confirmed.

Please read through the descriptions and choose a program for each student (K-12) in your party. One educational program is included in the cost of your group ticket. You may register for additional programs for an extra $23.50 per student, per program.

There is a minimum requirement of 10 students for each program, so I may have to cancel a program if we don't have enough students enrolled. If your student registers for only one program, please choose another program as their second choice in case we don't have enough registrations for their first choice. If your student registers for more than one program, please list them in order of preference (extra program fees will be refunded if we don't have enough registrations for their extra programs).

Note: grade-level requirements before choosing programs; they are enforced by Disney. See each description for the length of each program – each program is a one-day program (programs are not conducted over several days).
