a highly beneficial learning experience, interwoven with fun
and practical exploration.
Subject-Specific Seminars
You will attend two forty-minute
multimedia seminars, delivered to an
audience of 200-300 students, and
led by our professional facilitator with
considerable experience of Disneyland
Paris and its working methods. Students
will explore a series of case studies linked

As a result of our exclusive access to
Disneyland Paris’ senior management
during the creation of the Study
Experiences, members of the
Disneyland® Paris management team
and many other Disney backstage
experts add their personal input to the
seminars. This input is primarily through
video footage, filmed specifically for
Study Experiences and only available to
students and teachers attending
the seminars.
Interactive Workshop
For the workshop, students will be
divided into groups of 30-40 and then
split into smaller teams to ensure they
participate in a fully interactive and
tailored learning experience. Each group
will work with a Disney expert, when
typical Disneyland Paris managerial and
operational issues will be analysed and
used to inspire creative work by students,
giving them a real taste of life in the
fast-moving world of theme park resort
management and operations.
Study Experiences enables students
to discover how their subject is put
into practice at Disneyland® Paris. The
educational content has been developed
exclusively for Study Experiences by one of
the UK’s leading provider of curriculum-led
educational resources, in conjunction with
subject teachers and senior managers at
Disneyland Paris, to provide a unique insight
for students.
Our fully organised and highly relevant
education programmes are designed to
meet clearly defined learning objectives.

and are not available to any other visitors to
the Resort.
Your students will attend two multimedia
seminars and an interactive workshop,

and spending considerable amounts
of time behind-the-scenes with Senior
Managers at the Resort, discovering
how they and their departments use
their expertise and experience to
entertain millions of guests every year.
During their time at Disneyland Paris,
your students will be led by our team of
expert facilitators, who regularly work
on projects at Disneyland Paris and
have an excellent understanding of the
values and processes used to entertain
over 12 million guests every year.
Students are invited to take part in the
Student Challenge and win prizes for
themselves and an award for their school

Your Choice of Disneyland Paris
Hotel Accommodation
Study Experiences’ Educational
Tours programme includes hotel
accommodation located on-site at
Disneyland Paris. Therefore as well
as enjoying safe and secure Resort
accommodation, you are also within easy
walking distance of Disneyland Park, Walt
Disney Studios Park, Disney Village and
all the Resort facilities throughout your
time away.
Your group can choose to stay at one of
two of Disneyland Paris’ uniquely themed
on-site hotels, that recall times and places
in American history.
Like a scene
from a Wild
West movie, the
14 frontier style
buildings of Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne are
grouped around a main street of covered
porches and wooden walkways. The
Western styling runs right through to the
bedrooms, which have one double bed
and two bunk beds, bathroom, TV and
telephone. Students are accommodated
on the basis of three sharing a room at
Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne.
Named after
the majestic
American
redwood trees,
Disney’s
Sequoia Lodge
is reminiscent of the famous hunting
retreats found in the U.S. National Parks.
Accommodation is in the main building
itself or in one of the five lodges.
Decorated in hunting-lodge style,
bedrooms have two double beds,
bathroom, TV and telephone. Hotel
facilities include an indoor swimming
pool. Students are accommodated on the
basis of two sharing a room at Disney’s
Sequoia Lodge.
Study Experiences does NOT charge
any supplements for under-occupied
student rooms where this is due to your
breakdown of male or female students
not fitting exactly into rooms of three at
Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne, or rooms of two
at Disney’s Sequoia Lodge.
Breakfast at each hotel is included in the
price of the Study Experience.

Your Group Size
For schools and colleges travelling by
coach, if you have a group size of 40 or
more students, then we will provide you
with exclusive use of your own 48 or 49seat coach and guarantee return Eurotunnel
Channel crossings at no extra cost.
Groups of less than 40 students will be
allocated a shared coach with another
school or college for the journeys to and
from Disneyland® Paris to ensure that you
do not have any coach under-occupancy
costs to pay. Alternatively, should you wish
to have exclusive use of the coach, however
are unable to arrange a group of 40 or
more students, we are able to provide you
with exclusive use of your own coach for a
supplement related to your group size.
For all these tours there is NO minimum or
maximum group size and we do not charge
any small group supplements.

main sights prior to dropping you off at a
suitable central location. You will then have
free time for sightseeing and excursions.
