Disneyland Field Trip Invite

We would like to invite all home educators and their families to
join us for our 2nd Annual ¡§Not Back to School Days¡¨ field trip at
Disneyland ¡V September 15-17, 2008.

Our organization did this on September 24-25 of 2007 and the trip
was awesome! Many people wrote in and commented that the trip
helped their family to make memories that will last a lifetime ļ
This year, we have added more features and benefits to the field
trip, and hope that more of you will join us:

enjoying both parks) the Grand Californian ¡V has been blocked for
less than 50% off the rack rate. In addition, we have blocked
rooms at the nearest good neighbor hotel to the main gates for your
convenience at pricing that is far below the rack rate.

taught by Disneyland staff and there are 4 classes to choose from.
Your ticket price includes up to two of these classes (although you

*please ask questions before you make assumptions ¡V we are NOT out
to make money off of homeschoolers, and you can follow the money
trail very easily. This trip is designed for homeschoolers to
combine a fantastic learning experience that their children will
remember along with a wonderful family vacation. A lot of effort is
being put forth into making this trip wonderful. I welcome all
questions ¡V so please ask. Any links that are not working are
probably the result of Yahoo adding spaces in the post. Check for
spaces, and type the link into your browser ¡V it should work fine.
