I feel like I should know this information since I sold tickets in the disney store on a daily basis, but I've never had to be in charge of bringing a large group to the resort before. Has anyone been in charge of leading a group of 20+ teenagers and adults through the group sales process? what was your experience? I'm mainly looking for information on ticket pricing and the minimum number of people that it would take to get group sales. any other tidbits and helpful hints are appreciated =) Thanks!

Originally Posted By Kira Wow! thanks Lulu! that is exactly the type of information I was looking for, Hopefully we can get on ordering them tomorrow and get the tickets in time. All of our kids are 9th and 10th graders (brand new high school!) so they are all under 18 =) Our trip will be last minute (nov. 10) because the kids all just decided that they wanted to go to disney instead of go out to dinner =P I wonder why they would rather go to disney Looks like I'll be a coordinator as well as fast pass runner! Thank god for my AP =D I will be sure to pass along the congrats to the kids! They have done so well for their first year (considering their a band of only 13 marching members!). Our last game is on the 9th so they are all looking forward to a little fun and relaxation after their starting season =)

Wow, much success during their first year huh? No wonder you're rewarding them with Disneyland! >> 13 marching members << So, they're so good you could say, it's like theres 13 more of them, perhaps earning a nickname like say, Mickey's Marchers. A little tribute to the meaning behind the 1313 of 1313 Harbor Blvd. That's so exciting though, Kira! So I take it you are going with them or - oh, just checked and saw the "our trip" part, heheh. >> Looks like I'll be a coordinator as well as fast pass runner << Yay!! FastPass Runner - sounds like a relay. Actually, no, that's with a team (although you are with a team). >> so they are all looking forward to a little fun and relaxation after their starting season << And you picked just the place So this is a new high school?

I feel so dirty having to choose knotts over disneyland haha -_- I don't even like rollercoasters! Oh well...I haven't been to knott's in 3 years...it could be interesting, right? haha =)

Originally Posted By DJ7K ^^^ Now you're talkin'. Sorry to hear about the change of plans though, but hopefully you'll still have a great time with your Dad >> Thank god for my AP << Which one do you have again? Mine's the Southern California - not the Select, the 2nd one.
