The tickets are good for 7days prior to arrival to 7days after departure. They will ask what your travel dates are as well and The tickets will have the dates on them. I assume they do this in case you do alter your dates by a few days either way.

I haved called Disney Youth program *YES* twice now.

First the prices are not separated by adult & child. Example 4 day hopper w/ water park is $188 that includes taxes. FL residents can buy 1 day tickets. Everyone else can buy from 3-8 day tickets. Tickets arrange from one park to multi-park w/ water park. Side note: max water park days is cap at 5 days. Why? H---if I know

Here is 2 con(s)----if you have an AP you still have to pay the full YES price (this also includes any other tickets you have) and only one parent can go on the 2 - 2 1/2 hour event. Example I can get 4 day hopper w/ water parks for $149 (military). But if I want my DD & DS to go, I have buy YES tickets for myself. Also for both of us (DW & me) to go, we have split our children up when we order the tickets. Meaning I order YES tickets for DD & myself and DW order YES tickets for DS & herself.


Here are few more things. 13+ do not need a parent. If you want your child to do more then one event it just cost $29 more per event. They need 10+ student/children to sign up. The event are broken down by ages and the youngest is 5 yrs. The event arrange from science(s) to arts (music-drawing).

Did they tell you that only get five days on the water parks?

When buying the premium ticket with the ph and water parks, you will be given the amount of visits that correlate to the number of days. So if you buy an 8 day premium ticket you get the 8 visits to the water parks and Disney quest.

We did the wild by nature class on our last trip and my kids thought it was great!

What a great program! Can't wait until our 3 year old turns 5!! This will save tons.
Thanks for all the information.
Plus if you only have 1 kid you can buy tickets for two adults, but only one gets to go with the kid to the education section.

You have to have a minimum of 10 kids, right?

I believe if you have just one child enrolled that they do allow both parents to go. Although They may have changed this .

Not for this program. You are thinking of the group rate. The yes program can be done with just one child. You just enroll under the "individual enrollment" section.

What a wonderful program, I wasn't aware of it. Will certainly suggest it for the niece and nephew.

Sorry I must have been quoted wrong. The class price is same but I was told a child under 9 had a different price. My child is 11 so I did not know.
Something to know. My child is an only child. If my husband had taken him to the 2 different classes. It would have cost for 1 more ticket. But because I am taking him to one and husband is taking the other one, only the child has to pay for the second class. We put our arrival date as 6/16 and our tickets say they are good from the 16th through the 30th. Our classes on 6/18 and 6/22.

For roughly ($205-210) for each of us. We are getting 5 day hoppers with 5 water park and more visits. and 2 classes. Pretty good deal.


Hope that helps a little more.

We've purchased tickets through YES for a trip in June. The only thing that makes me a little nervous is that they're non-refundable. Not that we anticipate anything happening, but one never knows when a last minute emergency comes up and a trip has to get cancelled.

So I'm assuming these are non-upgradable tickets as well, is that correct?
