Fishers Tiger Band Disney Trip Information

Trip Dates: December 5-9, 2019

We have contracted Music Travel Consultants (MTC) to manage the entire trip for the Fishers Tiger Band. We have used MTC for past Fishers Tiger Band trips and we have a great relationship with them. All payments will be made directly to MTC. All the travel details (buses, airlines, hotels, lodging, and food) are fully managed by MTC. The band will stay at Disney All-Star Movies Resort. If you are interested in being a Chaperone please send an email to the Disney Trip Boosters Chair. For those of you with a lot of Frequent Flyer miles, a Destination Only package is now available!

Friends and Family Travelers

There will be opportunities to buy travel packages for friends and family to attend. The same costs apply.

Chaperones

We need 1 chaperone per 10 students. Look for important information about applying to be a chaperone to be released soon.

Rehearsals

We will have some extra rehearsals in preparation for the trip. Plan for some dates after Grand Nationals that will be set aside for music and marching rehearsals. We will have a new piece of music especially for the parade performance.

Roommates

Roommate assignments will be student-driven with band director oversight. There will be a sign-up process for the kids to select their desired roommates. Rooms are NOT co-ed. Girls and Boys will be in separate rooms.
