Disney is doing it again. This is their 2nd Annual Homeschool Days being held at EPCOT. This is sure to be the most educational and fun-filled fieldtrip of the school year! Three dates are available... Monday, Sept. 18th, Tuesday, Sept. 19th, and Wednesday, Sept. 20th 9am to park closing There are two possible fieldtrips available: Passport Around the World or Science, Disney Style (brand new). My family participated in the Homeschool Days last year with the Passport Around the World, and my children loved it. They really enjoyed filling in the educational information on each country in the passport booklet handed out and getting their passport stamped at each country's kid-cot. It was also really fun hearing the castmembers from different countries speak to my children about what life was like for them growing up. For those choosing the Science fieldtrip named Science, Disney Style, a booklet will be handed out to each student with fun filled educational activities. They'll learn about Scientific Methods of Discovery, Innoventions, Manatees, Sea Turtles, Botany, Geography, Human Anatomy, Solar Energy, Space Exploration, and much more. Both fieldtrips will be taking place simultaneously at EPCOT. As you may know, from watching the news, the daily price of a one-day ticket to Disney is now $67. The Homeschool Days ticket is $42.00 (before tax) if you have a group of at least ten students attending. This is a $25 discount off each ticket. If you have season passes, then the booklets are just $9 per student. If interested and have questions, please call Disney directly and speak to Megan. The number is 1-800-833-9806, ext. 6509. Blessed to be...training my three, Leia Horton
