We finally have some more information for you regarding the Spring Trip to Disney! We received our information packets with preliminary itineraries yesterday afternoon, and Mr. Stough and I have been studying the information and planning diligently!
We have had several meetings regarding chaperones, and due to a limited number of rooms available in our package, we had to limit the amount of chaperones we can take as part of the group. We are trying to average 1 adult per 4 students.
As a chaperone, you are entitled to the same $450 student rate which includes:
3 nights hotel stay
3-day Park Hopper ticket
3 breakfast vouchers
3 dinner vouchers (includes 1 evening at the Rainforest Cafe)
If you would like to go on the trip as a non-chaperoning adult, you would be responsible for making your own hotel reservations, providing your own transportation and taking care of your park tickets and meals.
The hotel we are staying in is a Disney Resort called the Regal Sun Resort. This hotel is located near Downtown Disney. The web site is http://www.regalsunresort.com/. If you would like to stay in the same hotel, I would suggest making your reservations as soon as possible, as accommodations are quickly filling up.
The chaperones are as follows:
Mr. Stough (Director)
Rachel Phillips (Color Guard Coordinator)
Gary & Tracey Kirksey
Tommy & Diane Patterson
Randy & Cecilia Porterfield
Tony & Elizabeth Staten
Tony & Elizabeth Staten
Roger & Vicki Riley
Jerry & Michele Hensley

Philip & Julia Edwards

Janet Morrison
Judy Rittenour
Lori Toste
Lori Aehnlich
Kim Pair

The first payment of $150 is due by January 10th (for students and chaperones).
The preliminary itinerary is as follows (may change as needed):

Please remember that this a preliminary itinerary and some details could change.
If your child eats 3 meals a day, you will need to send extra money as only breakfast and one additional meal is provided through dining cards each day.
Important Reminder: If you have any questions regarding the trip, please direct them to Gary or myself. Mr. Stough is focusing his time and effort on the performance aspect of this trip (preparing the band), and we are handling the trip details. We will be glad to assist you with any questions or concerns.
As always, I will post more information as soon as it becomes available.
