Hi Scott,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for sending us that excellent question!
I couldn't be more excited for your family and all your students! The curriculum-based educational programs offered through
Disney Youth Programs are absolutely fabulous!
Upgrading to
Annual Passes is a great way to save money, particularly if you are planning to visit the Walt Disney World Resort more than once during the same year. However, in my experience specially discounted tickets, such as those offered through the
Disney Youth Educational Series program, ordinarily cannot be upgraded to Annual Passes. A Cast Member I spoke with today said that, if your school is traveling on a package with tickets that may only be used within a specified time frame, that's usually an indication that those are likely the type of tickets that cannot be upgraded. Having said that, I invite you to contact the Disney Youth Programs directly by calling (877) WD-YOUTH (877-939-6884), in order to confirm this information. Alternatively, once you arrive on-property, you can visit any Walt Disney World
Guest Relations location for an official answer to your question.
If you have any other questions, please come back and visit us here at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel. We'll be more than happy to sprinkle some pixie-dust on all your vacation plans!
Wishing your entire group an
unforgettable visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Ritzy ºOº
