Lodging is reserved at Anaheim Marriott Suites, 12015 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove. Group arrangements and musical-group call times will be shared before departure.

Disneyland app — recommended: parents/guardians and students who have smartphones can use the official Disneyland app for maps, wait times and mobile food ordering. Any food-order payments are handled only in the official Disneyland app; this portal never collects card details.
Remind — trip communication: parent/guardian and student with a smartphone should subscribe when organizers share the trip code (still pending). A student without a smartphone can participate: the parent/guardian stays subscribed, and the student follows the chaperone/group communication and check-in plan. No phone purchase is required. App recommendations do not establish park roaming permissions.

Remind
These forms are in the family portal, not the scholarship section. Sign in and add a student to see that student’s permission and medical forms. You can complete and e-sign them, download a filled PDF, or optionally print/wet-sign and upload a scan. School filing requirements and the current medical form still need school confirmation; this is not a claim of district e-sign approval.
Open permission & medical formsWe warmly encourage both fathers and mothers to request to be chaperones. The program covers chaperone fees for selected, school-cleared chaperones and aims to match fathers with boys’ teams and mothers with girls’ teams. This is a trip-planning aim, not a statement of district policy or a promise that every applicant will be accepted.
First, submit your interest with the name of the adult who wants to chaperone and their current school volunteer approval status. Organizers collect the interested applicants, review the list and select the best fit. School clearance and trip selection are separate; submitting interest or reporting clearance does not mean acceptance. Incomplete clearance details can be updated later.
We are planning for 15 parent chaperones. Requests close Dec 15. If already approved by the school, tell us Type 2 or Type 3; Type 1 is not a trip qualification. You can request interest before clearance is complete.
How do we pay?
Payments are planned in three installments: estimated $293 per student in mid-November 2026, $293 in January 2027 and $294 in April 2027. These are provisional payment estimates, to be adjusted before launch, not payable invoices; exact deadlines and final amounts will be confirmed. Payments remain disabled/test-only; wait for confirmed collection instructions. You can also contact Nick to fund a scholarship for another student. Requests are private and pending review, not automatically approved or paid.
Which apps should we download?
Disneyland app — recommended: parents/guardians and students who have smartphones can use the official Disneyland app for maps, wait times and mobile food ordering. Any food-order payments are handled only in the official Disneyland app; this portal never collects card details.
Remind — trip communication: parent/guardian and student with a smartphone should subscribe when organizers share the trip code (still pending).

Use the QR codes and links under Smartphone apps. The Remind trip code is pending.
What should students bring?
Disney apparel is welcome and optional. Bring a small backpack, refillable water bottle and quick snacks, subject to park rules. This is a WHS Music trip portal, not an official Disney service.
Where are we staying?
The hotel is reserved at Anaheim Marriott Suites, 12015 Harbor Blvd, Garden Grove. Hot buffet breakfast is included at the hotel both mornings (up to four people per room).
What about meals?
This is a draft plan, to be confirmed. Sunday: bring your own lunch; drinks and snacks on the bus; $20 for dinner on the road. Monday: hot buffet breakfast at the hotel; park lunch and dinner paid by the student (mobile ordering in the Disneyland app). Tuesday: hot buffet breakfast at the hotel; $20 lunch on the road; drinks and snacks on the bus. Road stipends and bus snacks are a draft plan, to be confirmed. Merchandise and other personal purchases are the student/family’s responsibility.
How does rooming work?
Four students per suite, boys and girls on separate floors. Roommate requests are preferences; the director has final say. Groups form in March.
What does chaperone clearance involve?
Guidance is from the official SUHSD Volunteers page and linked handbook/FAQs (not a private email). Contact Woodside coordinator Denise Hines (dhines@seq.org) to start. Returning volunteers reapply each school year. Level 2 covers roles that may be unsupervised with students (handbook lists overnight chaperone). Level 3 is for volunteer drivers. Allow about 2–3 weeks (3–4 for drivers). TB may be required if on-site three or more times per month. Academic driving forms: Angelina Mendoza, amendoza@seq.org. Chaperone rooms, tickets and travel meals are covered by the program once selected.
