Question 1

The Registration Page is asking for credit card information but I thought we are paying through the school?

Accepted Answer

All payments should be made to the school. The website asks for a credit card because the company normally takes payments directly and their website isn't set up to fit the way the district and company agreed to handle payments. Yes, this is more stress and steps for everyone, but I promise this is the best we can do while preserving the safety for students, families, and the district.

Question 2

I already paid with a credit card, what do I do?

Accepted Answer

The company will refund your card, keep you in the system, and then you must go through Myschoolbucks to make a payment.

Question 3

I keep getting notifications to finish my signup but I followed the directions above and didn't put in my credit card.

Accepted Answer

This is an automated message. If you got through all the steps and exited at the credit card section, then you should be in the system for the travel company to manually push you through their system.

Question 4

Is this trip safe for my student?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The trip is safe and heavily vetted by RSD's risk management team. The above work around for paying is just one example of the many foresights the district, travel company, and I, have made since starting planning last December to ensure everyone has a safe and fun experience!

Question 5

Is the deposit 100 total, or per person?

Accepted Answer

Per person!

Question 6

Is the September 1st deadline for everyone?

Accepted Answer

No. The September 1st deadline is only for students who wish to march in Athletic Band on the field trip. Everyone else (including parents and families tagging along) has until September 14th to sign up on the portal and submit their deposit.

Question 7

My student is participating in both the Marching Parade and one of the other clinics, are there different signups for each?

Accepted Answer

At this time, no. Right now, just sign up for the trip as a whole, and then the clinics will be put in the mix later. Please note that the Marching Parade and Choir Clinic will be the same day. Disney has stated that they cannot guarantee these will not overlap for choir students in both Athletic Band. Students don't "have to choose" now. We will cross this road once Disney releases the schedule to us.

Question 8

Can I room with my student?

Accepted Answer

No. Logistically Disney is a huge endeavor for us planning. Mixing families with their students only makes it more complex both in planning and also once we are there. We LOVE having families come with their students, but this is a friendly reminder that it's a music field trip and not a family vacation. All students will be with their peers, and families must choose/coordinate rooms accordingly.

Question 9

What occupancy do I select for my student?

Accepted Answer

You may pick any of the occupancies offered by the company. Please note that some of the occupancies may have to change once we confirm the total trip numbers, but this will be early on in the trip process. My plan is to figure out the rooms quickly after the deadline so that we can go into the trip with confidence. All families will receive the names of who their kids were planning on rooming with, with a signoff for your permission as well. We can also adjust these room occupancies with the company after the signup, so do not worry you are locked into a room type based off this deadline.

Question 10

How do I select occupancy if I am not even sure who my student is rooming with?

Accepted Answer

Students are more than welcome to start talking to each other to plan rooms. If your student hasn't talked to other students on rooms, then I suggest choosing room occupancy off the monetary amount you are willing to spend on the trip. A single room costs much more than a quad!

Question 11

I would like to chaperone, what do I do?

Accepted Answer

On the flier, fill out the chaperone interest form. The lead chaperones and I will then be in contact with you after the first week of school regarding an info meeting. Please note that you must be signed up for the trip in order to chaperone.

Question 12

I have more questions, will there be a meeting to discuss the trip?

Accepted Answer

Im glad you asked! We have a meeting September 4th at 7pm via zoom! Ill repost the link when we get closer, but here it is for those who want a bookmark: https://cedarcrestbandboosters.org/meeting(opens in new tab)
