Disneyland Performance!

The Votes are in and the results are..... Disneyland. We will work for the cruise again maybe next year! We will be going the week of spring Break hopefully performing on that wednesday. I need to send in the audition video but first I need to know how many performers are planning on going. Please discuss this with your family and see if this is something that your dancer will be able to attend. I will have a sign up list in the office. If you are planning on making this very fun performance trip please put your dancers name on the sign up list before October 20th!
Last year the tickets were
$104-2day park Hopper
$124-3day
$134-4 day
$144-5day

I am hoping they will still be the same this year. If not I am sure it will be close.
I only need to know how many performers are going at this time. I dont need to know how many family and friends are going til probably Jan. or Feb. This is such a fun trip and a Great Experience for the girls! All Competition Teams are invited!

Please remember All Costume, Warmup, and bag fees are due this week!!!!!! I will not order your warmups if you have not paid yet!

I have booked 50 rooms at the Holiday Inn for $92/night and I have also booked 50 rooms at the La Quinta for $74/night. If you want to stay at either one of these hotels you can call and let them know you are with Ultimate Dance and you can get this special rate! Please be advised that we have 150 dancers going to st. George so please dont wait til March to book these rooms for they will be gone.

The Holiday Inn $92/night has an indoor pool and hot tub and has a restaraunt on site, I think kids eat free!

La Quinta $74/night is really nice just brand new last year. They have a free hot breakfast w/ waffles, eggs, etc. They have an outdoor pool and an outdoor hot tub.

You do not have to stay at these hotels. You can make your own accommodation. These are just the ones I like and they gave us a really good group rate. This is the peak season for st. George so Hotels are usually well over $100/night.

Please remember You will want a room for friday night for sure and maybe saturday night if you are competiting in the 9 and older teams! Please fit this into your budget now, it is still 6 months away and is super fun and Mandatory for all dancers!
