Disney Announces 2013 Homeschool Days

DSC03386

Disney has just announced its 2013 program for Homeschool families, and it looks like a super fun one--especially for this theatre-loving family! Here is the description:
Disney Homeschool Days: On With The Show
Glamour! Excitement! Applause! It's all that and more when you're in the world of theatrical entertainment! Check out what it takes to be a part of a modern day production at Homeschool Days at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Participants in this program discover real-world application in the "ABC's" of an exhilarating production.  The creative team and technical crew provide insights into the collaboration, communication, and creativity that it takes to bring the lights up and call for Showtime!
Participants will be able to:



  • Identify and articulate a variety of technical disciplines necessary for stage or show production.



  • Articulate the role of constructive criticism in performance arts and discuss application to everyday situations.



  • Identify and discuss fundamental responsibilities of creative and stage management teams.



  • Articulate the value of preparedness, presentation, and focus in performance arts and demonstrate these elements in everyday situations.



  • Define risk-taking and articulate the value of intelligent risk-taking.



 

Disney Homeschool Days 2013 will be on October 9. In addition to the program mentioned above, students have the option to add additional programs from the Disney Youth Education Series, via individual enrollment (additional fee applies). And, of course, there are discounted tickets available to those attending and their families (there are limits to the number of tickets you can purchase, based on the number of students enrolled). Prices for these packages aren't as great as previous years, but they're still discounted considerably from regular Disney gate prices.

As a homeschool family, we heartily endorse Disney Homeschool Days! It's a great way to enjoy the Disney Parks while getting a unique "behind the scenes" peek at the Disney experience. The presentations are of stellar quality and appeal to kids of all ages. And the dates for the programs are typically among the least crowded in the Parks. If you're a homeschool family, this is a great time to visit WDW!
