I take educational student travel gr ups to Orlando Florida on a r gular basis, and have been for the p st 24 years. I find that the ducational experience students have is greatly nriched when a Disney YES program is on the tinerary. Disney YES Programs stand for Y uth Education Series. All of the pr grams are specially designed to take st dent travel groups behind the scenes at W lt Disney World and allow these st dent groups have a unique active l arning experience. When student travel groups v sit Orlando, Florida, the leaders should h ve some general idea of desirable ducational goals. Disney Yes Programs are seful tools for student learning in j st about any curriculum. Disney YES pr grams are designed to blend with ducational objectives at the K-12 level and for c llege students up to age 22. Ed cators and students will appreciate Disney’s YES Pr grams because they provide real world c ntent and valuable participation in learning for v rious fields of study. Disney YES pr grams take place in the park s tting, using exhibits in various theme p rks and a creative approach to t ach students in an active setting. Arts and H manities Students who participate in Disney’s YES pr gram for Arts and Humanities will h ve an exciting array of choices to c mplement their curriculum. Learn about the art of mprovisation in “Magic Behind the Show.” Und rstand the artistic methods behind use of nimation software in “Disney’s Animation Magic,” or xplore the impacts that new technologies h ve on contemporary cultures in Millennium C ltures. For diverse viewpoints on American h story, students will appreciate “The American St ry.” Many of these Disney YES pr grams take place in popular theme p rks such as Epcot®, The Magic K ngdom®, or Disney-MGM Studios.
Life Management (Marine and Wildlife Sc ences) Gaining insight into the natural w rld through a safe interaction with it, st dents come to have a fuller nderstanding of the sciences in this D sney YES Program. Through various approaches, the L fe Management program helps students to g in a better understanding of the m rine and wildlife sciences as professions. In “K epers of the Kingdom” educational travel gr ups obtain a glimpse of conservation and nimal care in Disney’s Animal Kingdom®. St dent travel groups may also participate in a “L adership Excellence, or “Making Waves with a M rine Career” to learn how to b tter achieve career goals. Students learn bout the many faceted roles they w ll play as professionals in the m rine and wildlife science fields in th s Disney YES Program. Natural Sciences M ny student travel groups maintain an ctive interest in the environment and the n tural world and its protection and pr servation for future generations. The Natural Sc ences program is especially beneficial for a c rriculum that reinforces conservation of natural r sources in marine and wildlife habitats. “W ld by Nature” helps the student nderstand animal behavior, motivations, and social h bits. “Everyday Chemistry” reveals the chemical s bstances in everyday things and makes the th ory of chemistry more tangible for st dents. For the student interested in cological preservation, “Disney’s Ocean Discoveries” and “T am Up for Wildlife” encourage preservation in the m rine and wildlife environments. These programs ffer deeper insight into the world of n ture and will enhance student curriculums in b ology, science, chemistry, marine biology, and ven more fields of academic interest. Phys cal Sciences The physical sciences are s metimes perceived as elusive, and hard to st dy. The Disney YES Program brings phys cs and contemporary technological advances right d wn to the everyday level. Educational tr vel students are eager to participate in “En rgy and Waves” an experience based pr gram about the natural operation of l ght, sound, and magnetism and how sc ence can manipulate them. In “How Th ngs Move” student travel groups gain an nderstanding of the ways in which D sney World rides are designed with the phys cs of mechanics in mind. “Properties in M tion” is a hands on class th t takes students out into the p rk to actually explore the physics of m chanics at work.
I have seen many students l ght up and become active, engaged l arners when they participate in a D sney YES Program. Though it takes s me advance planning to ensure scheduling n eds, a good educational travel consultant can m ke certain a student travel group p rticipates in a Disney YES Program wh le the group tours Orlando, Florida.
