Disney Institute

I have not stayed at the Disney Institute but I have done a lot of reading and seen a lot of the resort. In concept it sounds really interesting to me. It seems wonderful to be able to learn while on vacation and the instructors at the institute are very well respected. The programs are not cheap and I have not actually talked to anyone who has been on them to see if they are worth the money or not. Disney has restructured the programs several times in recent years, and they have not come up with a successful formula they like yet. So you should call the resort and see what is available and the current structure. Last I heard they were only opening it to large groups (no day guests or individuals).
