The trip is TENTANTIVEY Planned for April 8th thru 11th 2027.
It is VERY UNLIKELY the dates will be changed; but plans/transportation/hotel, etc. haven't been finalized yet.
The trip is available to ALL Students enrolled in Chorus during the 2026-2027 2nd Semester term.
Chaperone costs will likely be the same.
The price will include admission to theme park(s) and other planned events, as well as transportation/air-fare, hotel and most, if not all, food costs.
We will share more specific information once trip details are more finalized.
All students indicating YES should see the FISRT of THREE Charges on their CutTime account around Sep 25 2026 if it is not already there.
If you confirmed YES and do not see the CHARGE - please reach out to afhschoralboosters@gmail.com ASAP.
See the schedule below for breakdown and timing of the other 2 charges that will appear for Disney.
Charges are 'billed' in 3 increments (see schedule below.)
As each charge is issued - if the student has an available balance - it will be used toward the payment(s.)
If the student does not have an available balance to cover the charges - payment is expected on the due date and can be made directly via CutTime* or by sending a check (Payable to AFHS Choral Boosters.)
*Note: CutTime charges a convienance fee (3% to 3.5%) when paying via credit/debit card direclty in CutTime.
All student parents/guardians were emailed late on Sept 23 2026 indicating the recorded answer (Yes, No, Maybe or No Response) at that time.
Any students that did not respond by Friday, Sept 25 2026 to change their answer to YES were recorded as NO.
To be clear - if you rec'd an email on the 23rd indicating your response was NO or MAYBE or No Response was provided yet but did not respond by the 25th to change it to YES - your response was recorded as NO.
If you decide you want to go with AFTER Friday, September 25th 2026 – reach out to afhschoralboosters@gmail.com and we will add you to the alternates list (FIFO order.)
The only option to participate in the Disney trip will become available only if anyone that selected YES changes their mind.
At that time – alternates will be offered (First in; First Offered) the opportunity to “take the available seat”; reimburse them for any monies they’ve paid to date and YOU WILL THEN become responsible for any remaining payments/balances due.
If you need to change your mind AFTER Friday, Sept 25th 2026 – any deposits and/or payments you have paid via Cut Time will be forfeit.
The reason for this is because the trip costs are determined based on the number of students that indicated YES as of September 25th 2026.
If you can no longer go on the trip and there is an alternate available/able to fill your seat – they can reimburse for monies paid to date and then they will be responsible for any remaining amounts due.
ESTIMATED COSTS
Due Date LOW HIGH
Sep 25 2026 $ 400 $ 400
Nov 20 2026 $ 600 $ 600
Feb 19 2027 $ 250 $ 400
Total $1,250 $1,400
Yes; and No.
We do not yet know the full, exact amount of the cost for students.
If you want to make a larger payment (eg $1200.00) against the first $400 Deposit/charge - I believe you can in the CutTime tool.
Yes. Send an email to afhschoralboosters@gmail.com. We will work with you to determine the best solution.
Butter-braids (avail thru Oct 09 2026) => $5 per braid sold (10 braids is $50 for your student)
Apples (avail thru Oct 23rd 2026) => About 40% of sales (10 apples @ $10 is about $40 for your student!)
Lenovo => Earnings vary; but the AVERAGE per event is between $50/$100 per volunteer per event. For example - if you and your student work a Dippen-Dots station for an event - you could earn about $200 in Total. The amount is variable and you could earn less. I’ve earned as little as $45 and as much as $300.
Only students and chaperone's will be part of the "AFHS Trip/booking."
If you want to travel to Disney and watch the competition/performance - It will be up to individuals to plan and pay for their own trips (airfare, lodging, food, park tickets, event tickets, etc.)
Please keep in mind: While you might be there at the same time we are - the students & chaperones will have specific schedules and are NOT available to spend more than a few minutes of time with families/friends saying hello, etc. Do not expect your student to be able to attend a family function while on this trip.
Details about when and where students are competing/performing will be shared as soon as they are available; as well as lodging (in case you want to book at the same location or in close proximity.)
If interested in being a chaperone - send an email to afhschoralboosters@gmail.com.
The number of chaperone's needed will depend on the number of students participating in/attending the trip.
Interested parents will be contacted once we know how many we will need; this should be determined End of September to Early October.
Chaperone Costs will be added to CutTime and will follow the same payment schedule as it outlined above (with consideration of the first payment; which will be added once we finalize chaperones.)
