Thank you to Global Travel Alliance

This year we went outside of York County to find a different travel company, which turned out to be the smartest move we ever made.
Global Travel Alliance made all our dreams possible with no stress at all. The price was much more reasonable than that was quoted to us in years past by a local agency and never were we treated with such professionalism and respect.
Eric Peterson was our contact person/travel agent for all purposes of the trip. Others within the office helped from time to time and were also very curteous and cooperative. It was a pleasure dealing with this organization!

We would recommend (and we did to another school this year) this travel company and Eric to anyone planning a group trip anywhere they would like to go. We look forward to working with this company in the future for many years to come.

Thank You!!!!!!

Please see Eric for a FANTASTIC TRIP!!!

The Final Chapter in the Story of YCST's Senior Trip

Tower of Terror, Rock-n-roll Roller Coaster, Toy Story, Fantasmic Light Show, etc, etc. What a great way to end the Trip.

Next Stop.....Port Orleans Riverside

This was the first time we stayed at a Disney Hotel and what a great experience! The rooms were great and who could forget the pool :)

The Greatest Place on Earth

The Magic Kingdom made us feel as if we were kids once again. What a great first day this was!!

All the countries in the world in one teeney weeney little living space

The students loved visiting all the countries at Epcot and seeing the laser/firework show at the end.

Hail to the Bus Driver, Bus Driver, Bus Driver. Hail to the Bus Driver, Bus Driver Man

Using Disney Transportation was one of the most beneficial changes we made this year to our trip. We were able to modify our trip at our convenience. Using Disney's Magical Express tickets we felt as if we were royalty, never having to pick up our bags at the airport and lugging them around. We checked them in at BWI and didn't see them again until we entered our rooms at Disney. Wow!!

I Believe I Can Fly

The flight down was very interesting since 17 of our students were never on an airplane.

Ahhhhgggg My Eyes!!!

Extreme closeups can sometimes be frightening! Just kiddding lol.

Keeping the Beat.....or at least trying to :o)

There was a random musical act at the Animal Kingdom that the crowd participates in. Watch the man and daughter fight over who gets to use the drumstick. I'm not sure who keeps the better beat, but its safe to say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree :) lol

Playing With Fire

Yet another part of the Lion King Theatrical Production at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Crazy Monkeys!!!

The monkeys during the Lion King Production were exciting to watch during their acrobat routine.

Lion King Theatrical Production

Akon was the featured performer at Universal's Grad Bash '09 this year. Students were able to attend this concert, amongst others, for free at a certain section of the park.

A Touch of Class!

What a good looking group. Our students dressed to their best for Grad Bash '09 at Universal Theaters. They represented themselves are their school to the highest standard.

Blisters Hurt! Isn't that right Mr. Smith? Each day we walked over 5miles, thus the reason for having good shoes to wear.

The Bouncer....Grrrrrrrrrr!!!

Some of the girls and chaperones were playing pranks on Mr. Smith and Mr. Balsavage, so they hired some muscle (Anthony Forry) to protect them......in other words, they were scared!

Henry and TJ get new hairdos while on the trip

One Hat Fits Many

Hollywood Studios (MGM) was a crowd favorite and a great way to end our trip.

The Toy Story ride was a new addition to Hollywood Studios this year. Keeping our kid-focussed nature, we had a blast playing this awesome 3-D video game....Mr. Balsavage doubled most of the kid's scores :) haha lol

Here Comes the Bus!!

Using Disney Transportation was amazing. We were able to modify the trip at any point we felt necessary because of this added bonus.

What a bunch of Animals!

We had a great day at Animal Kingdom.

Pucker-up Buttercup!

Will someone please get her a boyfriend? While on the Tower of Terror ride in MGM, Shauna fell in love with a statue. Ewwwwww!!! :P

Thing 1, 2, 3, and 4

We accumulated a couple of "Things" while at Universal Theaters' Grad Bash '09

Carrie Gomez and the Snake

Mr. Smith scares Carrie with a rubber snake. At first she just thinks that its a stick, but to her surprise, and to our enjoyment, it wasn't a stick that Mr. Smith drops on her! :)

Dissapointment :(

For the 4th year in a row Mr. Smith and Mr. Balsavage still are unable to ride space mountain :(

Everyone is ready to get wet at Typhoon Lagoon.

Thanks to Lowell and Brandon, Anthony was burried head-deep in the sand.

What a Girlie-Man!!

For the 4th year in a row someone gets Mr. Balsavage to show his fear of snakes!! Dohhh! This prank was brought to you by Sara Hartman. She was planning it for 2 months.

Everyone loved Typhoon Lagoon and all the water park had to offer.
