Dancer Eligibility:

Dancers must be between the ages of 7 (by 12/1/25) through 18 and must be enrolled in classes at WBDC. Dancers must stay enrolled in classes through December 2026. Dancers are separated from their families for over 5 hours during performance opportunities in Walt Disney World, FL. This program is open to all recreational and company dancers.

Itinerary:

These are the dates and events that all Disney Performance Dancers or families are required to attend. The rest of the time can be planned by individual families to enjoy their Walt Disney World Vacation. Arrival and Departure dates from Florida, as well as transportation methods, are also at the discretion of each individual family.

1. All rehearsals (Feb 2026-August 2026) are very important, but Disney Camp 2026 7/27-7/30, Sunday 9/13 and Sunday 10/25 are mandatory.  

2. Sunday, November 22nd, 2026 will be the Minnesota Family Showing and a Community Celebration Performance of “A Very WBDC Disney Christmas” 2026. This will be two separate performances. More information, location and times available in early 2026.

3. Monday, November 23rd, 2026 5:30-8:00pm is the Disney Costume Drop Off at WBDC-WBL.

3. Thursday, December 3rd, 2026 5:00-6:00pm is the mandatory rehearsal at Disney’s Port Orleans-French Quarter Resort. No exceptions. Rehearsal will begin promptly at 5:00pm, please plan to arrive by 4:45pm. This will be the final rehearsal. All dancers need to be wearing tennis shoes. All dancers will receive their costumes at this rehearsal.

4. Either Friday, December 4th, 2026 or Saturday, December 5th, 2026 will be a Performance at Disney Springs. 

**Show Time is determined by Walt Disney World Entertainment 2 weeks in advance.**

Accommodations:

Family and friends can choose to stay anywhere they would like in Florida. 

These are options at a discounted group rate for Walt Disney World Property. Disney’s Port Orleans-French Quarter will be the meeting location for rehearsal and performance days. Although you can get anywhere using Disney transportation, there is no direct transportation from Pop Century to French Quarter. 

Our tentative room block range runs from 12/1 through 12/11. We will be confirming these dates in December 2025 and if anything changes we will reach out directly to any families that need to change plans.

Option 1: Disney’s Port Orleans-French Quarter Resort (sleeps 4)    $332 (including tax)/night

Option 2: Disney’s Pop Century Resort (sleeps 4) $270 (including tax)/night

Option 3: Choose alternate accommodations for your family and make all reservations on your own.

***Most likely these prices will not change, but we cannot actually confirm them until we put down our deposit in December.

***For those who traveled with us before, Disney’s Port Orleans-French Quarter (the 2026 Option) is right next to Disney’s Port Orleans-Riverside (the 2023 Option) on the river. The same boat will stop there to take you to Disney Springs where the dancers will have their performance. It is the resort with the “Good Beignets”!

Dancer Package:

Each dancer, age 7-18, must purchase a Dancer Package for $985. This will include all costumes (minus shoes, tights, jewelry that are standard in WBDC programs), props, luxury motor coach transportation for Walt Disney World performance day, all rehearsals (Feb-Dec), Disney Camp, 25 minute custom choreographed show, 3 performances, audition/application/shipping fees, and custom “A Very WBDC Disney Christmas” apparel. 

Theme Park Tickets:

Everyone traveling with WBDC may purchase a theme park ticket at the discounted group pricing. All Dancers MUST purchase a theme park ticket as part of Disney’s requirements for performing. Admission is free for children under 3, but everyone else needs their own theme park ticket. The performance area is located at Disney Springs and this is a non-ticketed area, but all Dancers have to purchase a ticket to participate in the program. We do recommend planning a day that does not have a WBDC event to enjoy the Walt Disney World theme parks to the fullest. Please be sure to visit Walt Disney World’s website to learn about current park reservations, park hopping and other details about the various tickets. The below prices do include tax.

Ticket types:

1. Starter Pack Tickets include 1 park per day.

2. Park Hopper Tickets are valid for admission to one or more of the four Walt Disney World Theme Parks for each day of the Ticket (with the freedom to visit multiple parks on the same day).

3. Premium Tickets include the Park Hopper Option and Water Park and Sports Option. The Water Park and Sports Option includes Plus Visits to additional locations listed below at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Rehearsals:

Rehearsals for “A Very WBDC Disney Christmas” 2026 will begin February 2026 and are planned around the existing WBDC schedule and events. Rehearsals will run through November 2026. Late December 2025/Early January 2026 (after all registrations have been completed, processed and we have time to cast the show), we will put out a full detailed rehearsal schedule per dancer.

Financial/Registration:

Registration begins Tuesday, August 12th, 2025 and runs through Saturday, November 22nd, 2025.

To complete registration, fill out the online registration form HERE. A registration confirmation e-mail will be sent and $300 deposit will be completed. Detailed confirmation of pricing and dates will be confirmed once registration is confirmed with Disney in December 2025.

Payments may be made at the front desk or online through a WBDC account. Family members traveling with WBDC, but that do not have a WBDC dancer will receive their own WBDC sign-on to their own account to be able to make online payments after registration.  Any family that wants automatic payments set up for their Disney payments must use the credit card saved on file that is utilized for regular WBDC payments. Anyone wishing to use a different form of payment should not opt for autopay and should sign-in to their account to make Disney Payments. WBDC can only store/utilize 1 credit card at a time. Individual users can change between cards as many times as they wish. Late payments on Disney Payments may result in cancellation of trip with no refunds.

Booster Club earned funds can be used to pay for Disney, but they can not be “saved” for future Disney payments and not applied yet. They must always pay something off (current or future) or be utilized towards the next charge on a family’s account. Please see Jenny, Katie or Sarah with any questions.

The following payment options are available:

Payment in Full: Deadline is March 10th, 2026
