Are there special guidelines for the weekend regarding vaccinations and masks?

In keeping with the CDC guidelines and recommendations from our WS medical advisors, we hope that everyone coming will be vaccinated and that masks are not required. However, we know that vaccination is a personal choice, and there may also be medical circumstances that make vaccination ill-advised for some. We strongly encourage everyone who is not vaccinated to follow CDC guidelines for masking and social distancing at all times.

What does it mean that this trip is "plus one"?

This trip is a Plus One trip - each individual must be accompanied by at least one adult chaperone (parent/caretaker, adult sibling, staff, etc). You and/or your chaperone will be responsible for organizing travel, transportation, hotel booking, coordinating most activities while in Orlando, oversight, etc. This trip will look more like a joint vacation with your WS family. There will be no exceptions for unaccompanied travelers.

Can an adult chaperone more than one Adventure Seeker?

Yes, but the caretaker must be responsible for those individuals at all times during the weekend. We do not encourage one adult to take responsibility for more than two attendees.

Will the group be doing activities together?

We will all participate in a welcome party Thursday evening, and a farewell dinner and dance party Saturday evening. The rest of the time is open for you to plan the activities you'd like.

What are the fees?

Watch for information on registration fees in early Spring 2023. This will help cover the costs of the meet and greet, name tags, etc. Optional ticketed events/entertainment will be at your discretion.

Is there transportation?

The WSA is not providing transportation. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle service to all Walt Disney World® Theme Parks and Disney Springs®.

Are there events/outing that will be just for the Adventure Seekers without their parent/chaperone?

No, we are not planning any excursions separate from your parent/chaperone.

How can we connect with other families that are attending, prior to arrival?

Once registration is complete, we will set up a Facebook group for the trip. It will be a great way to learn who is coming and to plan adventures together in advance.

How do I register for the trip?

Watch for the registration link in Spring 2023.

Who needs to register for the trip?

Both the Adventure Seeker AND the chaperone(s) MUST register for the event.
