A Disney tour is more than thrilling rides and magical experiences. It’s an educational adventure, too. With thoroughly developed programs and active learning, Disney teaches students practical applications of the knowledge gained from science, history, art, and leadership. Here at Fourwinds Tours, we prepare Disney educational trips with inspiration for your students and guarantee they will enjoy every minute of their experience.
Disney Youth Education Series Programs
Disney’s Youth Education Series presents accredited, standards-based programs led by experienced Disney professionals. These interactive workshops cover many subjects to make learning interactive and fun. From the physics of theme park attractions to marine biology at the aquarium, each program enriches classroom knowledge with immersive experiences.
Science in Action: Applied Sciences and Physics
The Energy and Waves Physics Lab is where the laws of light and sound spring into action. Additional insight into how physics applies to real life can be attained with the mechanics of roller coasters and special effects. The Disney hands-on approach helps develop inquiry and critical thinking, thus making science cool and relevant.
Environmental Studies: Exploring Marine Science Careers
Disney’s work in conservation yields a very singular learning process for marine biology or environmental science students. From Disney’s expert scientific team, students learn about animal care, aquatic ecosystems, and strategies for preserving the six-million-gallon aquarium. These insights incite young minds to consider environmental stewardship or careers in researching these entities.
The Art of Storytelling: Theatre and Animation
Disney’s commitment to storytelling goes beyond films and theme parks. Through the Designing a Disney Story program, students reach deep into the history and technique of animation by creating their storyboards. Professional animators mentor them through the creative process, offering behind-the-scenes knowledge of digital media, illustration, and storytelling.
Leadership and Personal Development
The leadership workshop series helps students to confidently build their brand, lead others, and take charge through personal and professional integrity. These foundational resources will take the student’s professional growth and make them successful leaders throughout many communities and careers for years to come.
Music and Performing Arts Opportunities
A Disney tour for student performers offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences, from marching down Main Street, U.S.A., competing in a national competition, to performing in the Candlelight Processional. Disney Performing Arts workshops offer specialized music, dance, and improvisation coaching, helping students develop their artistic and teamwork skills.
A Balanced Itinerary of Learning and Fun
The Disney educational tours offer structured programs and allow the time to explore the parks using the Park Hopper passes. Groups enjoy the various attractions, interact with the exhibits, and take in some of the cultural influences of the international themes before and after the scheduled sessions. Fourwinds Tours provides an organized plan so that each minute can be a learning and entertaining experience.
