Nationals!2015 WALT DISNEY WORLD - ORLANDO FLORIDA

Quick info on Pueblo Competition

The absolute earliest we would compete is 1pm

When?

We will leave February 5th (Thursday) in the morning and return back to Denver on February 9th (Monday).

Where?

We will be staying ON PROPERTY. Price difference between Caribbean Beach resort and Disney All

Star Sports is about $90-95 total depending on # attending.

Caribbean Beach/Coronado Springs is slightly more upscale. Better practice space

DAS/PS is less expensive More “action” On-property cafeteria

Why Choose On-Property?

Benefits: Free transportation to and from airport (for athletes) on Disney Magical

Express and around the WDW Resort property – we can take a bus to the ESPN arena. – no need to drive/park/etc

Park Hopper passes included Tickets to the Championships included Registration for Competition included Special UCA Night at Magic Kingdom Private Championship Celebration Party at Hollywood Studios One meal per day (counter service) voucher (Bring non-perishable

breakfast food on your own and plan to pay for one meal per day) All taxes and Gratuities

What, at this point, prohibits us from going?

We need a critical mass of athletes to attend, otherwise it becomes cost prohibitive and/or we can’t compete in our division.

We are competing Medium Varsity. If we don’t have 16 who can feasibly compete in Medium Varsity, we will not go.

ALL athletes who go WILL compete at a minimum in Game Day. If you go in good standing, you WILL see the competition floor!

Speaking of cost…

Cost is fixed = perks are flexible.

Cost = $1250 to attend. (or less) Final Total TBD.

What this covers: All Disney “stuff” as aforementioned Chaperone Costs Flight – No checked bag fees (Cheers MUST carry on game day uni and comp uni) At least one t-shirt ANY extra money WILL go to the athletes! (Tshirts, bows, treats, incidentals, etc. If we

can’t spend it, we will carry it over to your balance for next season). Seniors – see me. If you want to see the breakdown sheet, please ask. I have it. Balance due IN FULL by January 5th to NHSCC

Breakdowns and due dates:

$267 due on Nov 17 ($417 less your $150 deposit you pay by Nov 6) $417 due on Dec 17 $417 due on Jan 22 (Will be final balance) Athletics will float us through final installment.

Please keep in mind you are also making program payments at this time.

We will know whether or not we will attend nationals (based on the deposits received) by Nov 12.

Amounts due for Dec/Jan can be reduced through team fundraising.

Fundraising:

Cheer website Black Friday “cheer clinic”? Sponsorship T-Shirts or photos Sell, sell, sell… Broncos games Team Breakfast (Pam and Krista???) Kiddie clinic funds – already earned $150

All non-personal funds raised will go to the team “off the top” of the total cost

Can parents attend?

You bet!

Stay on the same property (or different) – it’s totally up to you.

major discounts staying with the teams.

You must sign the cancellation policy

If you have family/friends in FL or want to sleep/fly/etc separate, you can purchase Extra Tickets through Disney

We have 1 spot available on the group flight. IF you can get on our flight, even if it’s not in the group package, I certainly wouldn’t complain. CCSD says cheers have to travel on district-approved itinerary (in other words, your vacay is the

district approved vacay.)
