Two options are available for purchasing OPTIONAL Travel Insurance. While the insurance is optional, we do highly suggest you purchase insurance to guard against loss of funds due to unforeseen circumstances. Insurance is offered by Travel Insured.
There are TWO options for insurance. They have different fees and different due dates:
Basic Insurance - can be purchased up until you pay your last payment to East. The due date for the final payment is November 20. Basic coverage.
Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) Insurance - can ONLY be purchased between October 2 and October 15th. After that, this option is not available. Covered until 48 hours before the trip.

Do I have to make the optional deposits in order to go on the Class of 2027 Senior Trip?
No, you can start paying for the Senior Trip in May of 2026 or September of 2026. These optional deposits are just to help you spread out the costs, so that you aren't paying 3 large amounts within the span of 7 months.
Is PaySchools the ONLY way to make payments?
The four (4) OPTIONAL payments (Spring of freshman year, Fall of sophomore year, Spring of sophomore year and Fall of junior year), we are ONLY able to accept PaySchools payments. We strongly recommend doing ACH/Direct, which has a $1.95 convenience fee, rather than Credit/Debit, which has a 4% convenience fee - see the video posted above about how to change your payment method.
BUT, for the 3 OFFICIAL payments (Spring of junior year, September of senior year and November of senior year), you are able to pay via cash, check, money order OR PaySchools.
Can I just pay it all at once when it's due at the end (November of senior year)?
No. Students start picking roommates in early October of senior year, and we have to give the travel agent a deposit with our final number around that time as well. So, if you wait until November of senior year, you will be put on a waiting list.
Also, you won't be able to purchase trip insurance if you pay it all at once. You can't purchase trip insurance until you've made one payment, BUT BEFORE you've made your final payment.
Can I purchase Trip Insurance now?
No. You can drop out of the trip up until the end of September 2026, and still receive a FULL refund from CH East. So, you wouldn't need insurance until October 2026 or later. We will have an optional trip meeting in September of 2026 where we will explain that all to you in detail.
What is the total cost of the trip?
The total cost of the trip is $2,275.00
Who do I talk to if I have more questions?
You can email dbarr@chclc.org or hsassinsky@chclc.org - Debbie Barr is the Secretary of Activities and Holly Sassinsky is the Coordinator of Student Activities. So, Debbie keeps track of all of the payments and other details, and Holly is in charge of the trip.

However, the cost of the 2026 trip is $2,169.

The Class of 2027 Senior Trip page on the Activities Website has a TON of information about the payment options and a very informative Frequently Asked Questions. Here's the link: https://sites.google.com/chclc.org/cheactivities/class-of-2027/senior-trip-2027

Dear Class of 2027 Parents/Guardians,
We are now accepting PaySchools payments for the Class of 2027 Senior Class Trip to Disney World and Universal Studios, which is tentatively scheduled for March 2027. This is the 3rd Optional Deposit for the Class of 2027 (and the 2nd is still available to pay through PaySchools if you’d like to do both of them now).
PLEASE NOTE THIS CHANGE: OPTIONAL Deposits of $300 can ONLY be made through the Payschools payment system https://payschoolscentral.com/ listed as East - Senior Trip 2027 Optional Deposit #3. With payments being ONLINE ONLY, you will be able to make this payment from today (4/7/25) through the end of this school year.
We strongly recommend you pay via ACH Direct Deposit, which only has a $1.95 convenience fee. Paying with a credit OR debit card has a 4% convenience fee that we cannot reimburse.
We will no longer be accepting cash/checks for the OPTIONAL payments (2 in 10th grade and 1 in 11th grade)
We WILL accept PaySchools OR cash/check for the OFFICIAL deposits (1 in May of 2026, 1 in September of 2026 and 1 in November of 2026)
All deposits will be kept on file and are fully refundable until September 2026.
This past year, the Senior Class Trip consisted of 5 days and 4 nights at Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. The cost includes admission to all theme parks, hotel, food vouchers, travel and transportation. We try our best to make this as all-inclusive as possible; however, the total cost of the trip will not be finalized until Spring 2026.
We sincerely hope that many of the students will choose to attend the Senior Trip. It will be an experience of a lifetime and one of the best memories of their high school career!
Thank you,
Holly Sassinsky

The Class of 2027 is coordinating their Senior Class Trip to Disney World/Universal in March of 2027. This is a culminating event every year for our senior class and we want to give every student the opportunity to attend. It is our desire to give families payment flexibility through multiple opportunities to space out payments and not be burdened by paying a lot at once.
We are now at our second optional deposit window from 10/21/24 to 11/6/24.
Optional Deposits of $300.00 (no less and no more – we will only accept exact amounts of $300.00 at this point) can be made through 2 methods:
1. The Payschools payment system https://payschoolscentral.com/ listed as East - Senior Trip 2027 Optional Deposit #2 Due by Nov 6
When paying make sure to pay via ACH Direct Deposit, which only has a $1.95 convenience fee. Paying with a credit OR debit card has a 4% convenience fee that we cannot reimburse.
2. Check/cash, made out to Cherry Hill East. $300.00 Cash and Checks ONLY accepted between October 22nd, 2024 and November 6th, 2024 (make check out to "Cherry Hill East" and put student's first & last name and Class Year in the memo section) - Bring checks/cash/money orders to Ms. Barr in Room A015 (across from the nurses' office and behind the Main Entrance)
PLEASE NOTE: we will not be able to accept any optional $300.00 deposits from the Class of 2027 after NOVEMBER 6, 2024. The reason for this is because we are starting final payments for the Class of 2025 right after this, and we have a designated payment window for each class that cannot overlap.
All deposits will be kept on file and are fully refundable until September 2026.
If you have any questions about the trip, email me (hsassinsky@chclc.org). If you have questions about payments, reach out to Ms. Debbie Barr (dbarr@chclc.org) or view the Class of 27 Senior Trip site at: https://sites.google.com/chclc.org/cheactivities/class-of-2027/senior-trip-2027 (video instructions on how to pay through PaySchools, and how to switch from Credit/Debit to ACH Direct Deposit are on this link).
