The Disney trip is on the horizon! Over the coming weeks, we will be sending information, updates, and reminders on Smore, including more answers to questions that have been asked. Please be sure to read through these communications.

Here is an updated itinerary as of 2/3. With this you will be able to see which days we are in which parks as well as times of the workshops/parade.

Rooming Lists & Flight lists

These will be available soon for you to preview.

Attention Doublers

Students in both choir and band/orchestra - please fill out this google form to indicate your preference as to which Disney Imagination Campus - Soundtrack Sessions Workshop you would like to participate in.


Marching Band students who are also in wind ensemble/concert band, orchestra, or choir will participate in both the marching band parade AND the workshop.

Parking

Travelers will board the bus to the airport at school. Likely Red Land as indicated on the itinerary. However, parking will be limited. Student travelers will need to be dropped off and picked up by a parent- they should not be driving themselves, particularly as the departure time is during junior license curfew hours.


Traveling families, chaperones, and tag-alongs who need to park their vehicle for the duration of the trip need to fill out this google form.

Volunteer clearances - For parent/family tag-along travelers

Initially (when we introduced the trip last spring) we were going to require you to upload a photo of your WSSD-issued Volunteer Badge as a way to signify that your clearances were complete. We are no longer requiring that badge. Instead we are simply verifying with the school office that your clearances are complete.


Parent/family tag-along travelers who still need to complete their clearances have been contacted.

Dining Reservations - OPTIONAL

Meal vouchers are included with the trip- one for breakfast at the hotel and one for counter service food in the parks. If you would like to purchase dinner at a sit-down restaurant, you might want to think about making a reservation. Mrs. Shepski has put together these video Instructions for making Dinner Reservations. Reservations can be made as far out as 60 days beforehand - for us that would be 2/26. Again this is OPTIONAL.
