<p>So, my sophomore class had our intro meeting about our junior class trip to Orlando this morning. I didn't really want to go at first since I've never been to Disney/Universal and wanted my 1st time to be with my family, but I was hooked by the travel agency dude's ravings about the Wizarding World of HP, and how we would be the first class from my HS to visit it. I don't know if I should start begging my parents/wealthy distant relatives/God for the $400 initial deposit due in two weeks...
Where did you go/are you going for your class trip?
Is it worth the $1000+ for one weekend?
Is Disney/Universal better with friends or family?
Just tell me about your experience with long-distance class trips so I can make up my mind.
:)</p>
<p>You want your first time going to Disney World to be with your family? Dude, it’s not your wedding, it’s a trip to a theme park. Go with your class.</p>
<p>To answer your questions:
We don’t/aren’t having a class trip. My school sucks. In MS, the 20 kids in French class went to Quebec, so there’s my class trip.
$1000 seems steep as hell for a 2 or 3 day weekend as you make it sound, but go for it.
Probably friends, and this leads me to the last thing.
My trip to Quebec was extremely more fun with friends than it would be w/ family. You have fun non-stop, be it in the hotel at night or the activities during the day.</p>
<p>Yeah, I happen to think I’d have more fun at a children’s amusement park with my siblings/cousins … not people who are going to go off and get drunk like every other day. I have the option of going to Disney Hong Kong / Disney Paris with my family, which seems slightly better than this overpriced class trip.</p>
<p>H/o, you get to go to China or France Or Florida?</p>
<p>Lol I can’t believe you are even considering the class trip.</p>
<p>Okay… here are ALL of my options for next year’s vacation period and the rough probability they will happen.</p>
<p>Orlando [DECA nationals] 60% - Depends if I make it, high chance since its easy/cheap!
Orlando [Class trip] 20% - Lots of moolah due in a short amt. of time, less interest.
Paris/HK 20% - depends on my extended family’s travel plans… I’ll go if I can!</p>
<p>Oh, and the French department is going on a Quebec trip senior year … I could opt to do that instead of the class trip!</p>
<p>my senior trip is to cancun, but im really not feeling it. i would rather go road tripping with my friends over the summer. my french class would have had a field trip to france, but my french teacher didnt want stopped the a few years before because someone died the last time she went. i would have probably gone to france had i the chance</p>
<p>Cancun? Seems a bit risque & risky for a class trip.
Why did the person die? :/</p>
<p>Gaaah, I wish my school had trips to Cancun or Disney World. I’m a senior and have survived thirteen years in this school and all I get is a trip to the local amusement park…</p>
